1) Provide a note on the plan indicating the calculated needed fire fire for the buildings.
2) The needed fire flow dictates the spacing and the number of fire hydrants necessary for the project.
The least restrictive spacing is every 500 feet with no building more than 250 feet from a hydrant,
measured by travel way.
3) There are concerns with the existing hydrant. In the event of afire involving units 14 - 26, the hose
needed toi conned to the hydrant will obstruct the travel way, limiting access for additional fire
apparatus.
4) If the structiures require a fire suppression system, an FDCs will be necessary and there needs to be a
hydrant within 100 feet of the FDCs
5) Provide a note on the plan indicating the avaialable fire flow at the existing hydrant.
6) During construction, the following fire prevention steps are required, so please note them on the
plan:
a) Smoking shall be prohibited in areas where smoking makes conditions such as to make smoking a
hazard and these areas shall be designated with no smoking signs per Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention
Code.
b) Areas where smoking can occur, shall have appropriate receptacles for discarded smoking
materials per Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code.
c) Per the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code, vehicular access for firefighting shall be provided
at all construction and demolition sites, provide access to within 100 ft. of temporary or permanent fire
department connections, and have no overhead wiring or other overhead obstructions lower than 13 ft.
6 inches; this access may be via permanent or temporary road, but shall be capable of supporting fire
apparatus in all weather conditions.
d) Contractor shall ensure the street numbers are always plainly visible from the frontage street
during construction per the Virginia Statewide Fire Code
e) An approved water supply for firefighting operations shall be in place and available as soon as
combustible materials arrive on site.
f) Waste and combustible debris shall be removed from the building at the end of each day and
disposed of in accordance with the Virginia Statewide Fire Code
g) Fire extinguishers shall be provided, with not less than one approved fire extinguisher at each
stairwell, on all floor levels where combustible materials have accumulated, in every storage and
construction shed and in areas of special; hazards, such as where flammable and combustible liquids are
stored or used, in accordance with the Virginia Statewide Fire Code
h) Operations involving the use of cutting and welding shall comply with the Virginia Statewide Fire
Prevention Code and shall require a permit from the Albemarle County Fire Marshal's Office

Ben,
I recommend SDP2022-23 Berkmar Flats — Initial for approval with the following conditions:
Submit utility drawings directly to ACSA for review.
RWSA will need to approve the proposed connection to the water main.
Minimum separation from FHA and building is 40-feet. An additional FHA will be needed.
Rather than multiple service connections to RWWs transition main, an ACSA extension for services
and hydrant should be made.
Show existing sewer on the neighboring Berkmar Overlook site.
Show DB and PG for Berkmar Overlook sewer easement.
Confirm if this parcel will further develop in the future.
Thanks,

Review# 1
Dear Mr. Holt:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section has reviewed the Berkmar Flats — Initial Site Plan, dated April 8, 2022 as submitted by
Shimp Engineering, and find the following:
1. Adjacent property has planned connection to this property. Why does this project not
connect to adjacent stub -out?
2. Project appears to require a moderate volume commercial entrance design. Please see
RDM, Appendix F, pages 98 and 125.
3. Please verify adequate cover over proposed culvert pipe.
4. VDOT drainage manual requires culverts to have a Max Hw/D of 1.5 and headwater
elevation should be no higher than 18" below edge of road.
5. Proposed drainage swale appears to outlet into the adjoining property. Please show
how this will be adequately addressed.
6. Drainage calculations will be required for final approval.
7. Provide intersection sight distance lines and profiles in the sight alignment per RDM F-
40 Intersection Sight Distance detail and table 2-5 and RDM B(1)19 Sight Distance.
Eye location will be a minimum 14.5 feet from the edge of travel lane.
8. Provide distances to nearest entrances or intersections on Route 659.
9. Please show mill and overlay area per WP-2 requirements.
10. Proposed water line connections appear to be under the proposed drainage swale. Water
line will require a minimum 36" cover is maintained and may require casing to meet all
