SDP202100087. Caliber Collision, Rt. 29
1. Title sheet: List Area of Disturbance (demolition /construction /utility work), x.xx Ac. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
f0.09 Ac.
2. Sheet 1
a. Provide deed bk.-pg, ref. for U.S. Rt. 29, (Rev. 1) Addressed.
b. Provide deed bk-pg. ref for multiple existing utility (or other) easements that intersect or affect
parcel, or project. (Rev. 1) Addressed/NA. Applicant response (letter d. 1/13/22): `There are no
easements that intersect or affect parcel.'
3. Sheet 3
a. Label U.S. Rt. 29 right-of-way. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
b. Note: A VDOT Land Use Permit (LUP) is required to work within public RW. (Rev. 1)
Applicant: `Acknowledged.'
c. Please coordinate LUP with VDOT; coordinate Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan with VDOT.
(Rev. 1, D Persists. Applicant: `VDOT has reviewed the Caliber Collision plans.' Note: site plan
review and LUP permit are separate review and approval processes.
4. Sheet 4
a. Since exit is right -out only, recommend revise pavement marking arrow to indicate right -turn,
only. Also recommend sign advise patrons that exit is right -turn, only (No Left Turn). (Rev. 1)
Addressed.
b. Recommend label area between existing sidewalk (to remain) immediately adjacent to building
and proposed 14' wide shared use path. If area is turf, please label turf. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
c. Revise Pavement Design Note reading "Asphalt pavement shall be per the specifications outlined
in the Virginia DOT Standards... " since VDOT standards apply within public or private street
right-of-way. Provide asphalt pavement design specific to this site, for aisles and parking, specific
to vehicle class anticipated to use this facility. Plan Note shifts design responsibility to owner, or
contractor, neither of whom may be prepared/able to design asphalt pavement, per VDOT
Pavement Design Guide. (Rev. 1) Addressed. As follow-up: Note 3 states: `Unless otherwise
Engineering Review Comments

noted, pavement shall be standard duty asphalt.' Recommend provide typ. detail for standard duty
asphalt. Perhaps overlooked on S- 1, S-2, or S-3.
d. Provide vehicle access aisle centerline with radius at NW comer of building. (Rev. 1) Not
addressed. Vehicle access aisle radius is not provided, but distance, comer of building to
dumpster enclosure, is—25.4'(f). There appears to be a concrete landing at NW comer. 25.4'
dimension appears problematic since Autotum indicates conflict (next comment), and aisle
appears too narrow for vehicles rounding NW corner of building. At this potential pedestrian -
vehicle conflict point, there is little safety or sight provision for either personnel exiting building
at NW corner (if exit exists at this location), or for drivers approaching this blind corner. (Rev. 2)
Addressed. Dumpsters relocated. Distance from corner of building to edge of dumpster, 31.66'.
e. Provide Autotum for SU truck, 20' wheelbase, as this or longer wheelbase (typical) waste
management vehicle must round NW corner of building. Reverse maneuver from proposed
dumpster location is impermissible if sight distance or proximity to U.S. Rt. 29-Rio Road exit
ramp impede or compromise visibility, or vehicle or pedestrian safety, as they would appear to.
(link, p. 8 of VDOT document [Road Design Manual Appx. B1] at
https://www.virginiadot.orgibusiness/resources/LocDes/RDM/AppendBl.l)df ) (Rev. 1) Persists.
Applicant: `Autotum — truck route has been shown in exhibit drawing.' As ollow-up: Image from
exhibit, below, appears to show truck path striking dumpster enclosure. If this is the case, please
resolve conflict. Blue circle indicates dumpster enclosure /truck path apparent conflict. (Rev. 2)
Addressed. Applicant response (Apr 28, 2022 letter): `... see attached site plan with autoturn.
Dumpsters have been relocated.' Note: Autotum shows design vehicle entering N entrance,
circling building, and exiting S entrance without conflict. Yet this does not allow a waste service
vehicle to actually approach /tip dumpster, but in discussing autotum exhibit with Ankita Kot,
5/4/22, Freeland &Kauffman Inc. design allows 2-way traffic via S entrance [ref. pavement
marking arrow /Site Plan] and if a waste service vehicle acclimates to south point of entry,
autotum exhibit indicates vehicle may tip dumpster with adequate room to maneuver to N
entrance, and exit. Image, right, below.

(Rev. 1) Not addressed. Applicant response that `Safety fence will be provided along existing
sidewalk during construction of proposed 8' wide shared use path,' is assurance in a letter that
should translate to final site plan as notes /labels that guide contractor to install specific measures
(safet% barriers, warning placards, for example) designed to protect pedestrians. (Rev. 2)
Addressed. Applicant: `A note has been added that contractor [is] to install specific measures
Refer to sheet 5.'
5. Sheet 5
a. Submit VSMP Application, if required, with a VSMP/WPO plan. A VSMP/WPO plan is required

htti)s://www.albemarle.org/home/showl)ublisheddocument/170/637631758586300000 (Rev. 1)
Addressed/NA. Disturbed area is 0.09 ac. VSMP application not required.
b. Transfer general and specific ESC /SWM data from the site plan to the WPO plan, if WPO plan is
required. A site plan cannot approve a WPO plan. A WPO plan cannot approve a Site Plan, but
WPO plan approval is prerequisite to site plan approval. Feel free to contact Site Plan reviewer if
any questions. (L Anderson, 434.296-5832-x3069) (Rev. 1) NA. WPO plan is not required.

e. Provide calculations for storm pipe (LD-229) and grate inlet (LD-204). (Rev. 1) Addressed.
Applicant: `Existing inlet is within proposed shared use path. Existing inlet will be converted to
manhole and new inlet will be placed outside the shared use path. As discussed on the phone, for
minor changes to storm drain system, calculations are not required.'
Please feel free to call if any questions: 434.296-5832 -x3069 ( landerson2(a),albemarle.or ).
