Bryan,
The Southwood Block 11 & 12 road plans have been approved by all reviewers.
Engineering
1. Be aware that items outside of the road are not being reviewed on these plans (such as
the parking lots).
2. A private road request and fee will be needed for the private road (14-234). It appears
this road may be acceptable as an accessway instead. (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
3. Due to the length of the road, the entrance into the parking lot at the end of the private
street should be included in the easement to allow for a turnaround. Reference AASHTO
standards for the necessary size. (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
4. The minimum travelway width for private roads following VDOT standards is 24' curb to
curb. If no lots will be served by the proposed road and the multifamily/nonresidential
standard from the Design Standards Manual is used, the minimum width is 20', however
the parallel parking will need to be 9' x 20' (18.4.12.16c). (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
5. The minimum recommended size for storm pipe is 15". Smaller diameters will be
considered for yard drains. (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
6. Show and label the road name signs and stop signs. (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
7. The landscaping plan is not being reviewed or approved with these plans, only the street
tree locations relative to the storm system. The proposed trees should not be located
directly next to/on top of inlets or pipes. (Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
VDOT, ACSA, Planning, Fire Rescue, ARB, and GIS had no objections to the plans.

Engineering plan review staff are available from 2-4 PM on Thursdays, should you require a
meeting to discuss this review.
Process:
After approval, plans will need be bonded. The bonding process begins when the plan is
approved, and the applicant submits a bond estimate request form and fee to the Department of
Community Development. A plan reviewer will prepare estimates and check parcel and
easement information based on the approved plans. The County's Management Analyst will
prepare bond agreement forms, which will need to be completed by the owner and submitted
along with cash, certificates or sureties for the amounts specified. The agreements will need to
be approved and signed by the County Attorney and County Engineer. This may take 2-4 weeks
to obtain all the correct signatures and forms.
Stormwater Management Facilities Maintenance agreements will also need to be completed and
recorded. The County's Management Analyst or other staff will prepare the forms and check for
ownership and signature information. The completed forms will need to be submitted to the
County, who will record the agreement.
After bonding and agreements are complete, county staff enters project information in a DEQ
database for state application processing, if a DEQ permit is required. DEQ reviews the
application information based on local VSMP authority approval. At this time, the DEQ portion of
the application fees will need to be paid directly to the state. For fastest processing, this is done
electronically with the emails provided on the application. DEQ should notify applicants with
instructions on how to pay fees. When DEQ approves the application, they will issue a permit
coverage letter, which must be posted at the construction site.
After DEQ coverage is issued, via the coverage letter, the County can hold a pre -construction
conference. Applicants must complete the request for a pre -construction conference form and
pay the remainder of the application fee. The form identifies the contractor and responsible land
disturber, and the fee remaining to be paid. This will be checked by county staff, and upon
approval, a pre -construction conference will be scheduled with the County inspector. At the pre -
construction conference, should everything proceed satisfactorily, a joint VSMP and grading
permit will be issued by the County so that work may begin.
County forms can be found on the county website forms center under engineering;
