Dear Jeremy,
This plan is now approved.
Engineering (Emily Cox)
1. WP0202100024 must be approved before the road plan can be approved. Rev. 1: Comment not
addressed. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
2. [Sheet C L I] Please clarify the cross section for Fennel Road. It shows CG-6 however the layout
sheet shows roll-top curb. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
3. [Sheet C2.0] There should be an existing SWM facility easement around L-1. Please show the
easement and the DB & PG. Rev. 1: Response said there is no easement, however is there a
SWM agreement? If so, please provide DB & PG. Rev, 2: Comment addressed.
4. Please provide spot shots to show how the water will drain near the Orion Lane and Fennel road
intersection. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
5. Ensure that all horizontal curve information is labeled on the plan (not just radii). Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
6. Please show all applicable pavement markings and road signs (names, stop, no parking). Rev. 1:

7. Show CG-12 ramps. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
8. Sidewalk appears to stop along Orion road. Per the cross section on sheet C1.1, it appears to be
the full length of the road. Rev. 1:Comment letter said waiver was being pursued to remove
sidewalk, but plan still showed sidewalk. Did you mean waiver for the planting strip? Please
clarify. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.

Rev. 1: Comment addressed.

Planning (Andy Reitelbach)
Rev. 1: See comment letter dated Oct 6, 2021 Rev. 2: See comments dated Dec 22, 2021. Rev. 3: No
objection.
VDOT (Adam Moore)
See attached comment letter dated May 20, 2021. Rev. 1: See attached letter. Rev. 2: See
attached letter dated 11-29-21. Rev. 3: No objection.
Fire Rescue (Howard Logamarsino)
Rev. 1:
1) Your response correspondence shows you increased the width of Fennel Road to 26 ft. to
accomodate building height issues and Orion Lane as 30 ft fc/fc. The submitted plans with seal
dated 8/20/2021 show Fennel as 20 ft wide and Orion as 26 ft wide. Please clarify, correct as
appropriate.
2) Thank you for providing the no parking signs to deliniate the no parking areas to ensure
obstructions to the required fire apparatus road width does not occur, however, in light of comment
# 1, clarification of the issues brought out in comment 41 affect the need for and the placement of
these signs. After addressing comment # 1, please ensure the no parking signs are arranged
appropriately (where road is too narrow to allow parking on both sides, no parking signs are
required where parking is to be limited to prevent fire apparatus access road width obstruction).
3) Based on the calculated ISO fire flow, the hydrant spacing required is no more than 500 feet
between hydrants and arranged so that no structure is more than 250 feet from a hydrant. On the
plans with a seal date of 8/20/2021, the units on Fennel Road, near the dead end, exceed this. Your
resonse correspondence indicates adding a hydrant at the end of Fennel, but I am not fording it on
these plans. A hydrant at the dead of Fennel fulfills the requirement, a more practical location for
fire operations is the corner of Fennel Rd and Orion. If it must go at the dead end of Fennel,
palcing it at or before the turn is preferred.
4) Hydrant on Orion lane at Golf View is several feet off the road, across what appears to be a
grass/planting strip and sidewalk. Landscaping will obstruct this hydrant, make it difficult to find
and imparctical to operate. Moving the hydrant closer to the curb is more practical and will
eliminate any question of its suitability for consideration as meeting the requirements of the code.
Rev. 2: No objection.
