Please address comments below with the Final Site Plan (FSP)
1. C-1
a. Floodplain Information: Please revise Eff, date to May 16, 2016 consistent with 18-30.3.2. (ISP-
b.) Addressed.
b. Recommend SWM Note reference WPO2021-00002 (WPO plan is under review). (ISP-b.)
Addressed.
2. Sheet 2
a. Legend assumes a reclassification that is not automatic, or complete. See 18-30.7.6, Amendment
of district boundaries specifies whether/how steep slopes (preserved /managed) may be removed
from the steep slopes district. ISP assumes approval, prior to approval. Revise FSP and
development design consistent with existing steep slopes. Alternatively, pursue process
established by ordinance for removing steep slopes from the steep slopes overlay district. ((ISP-
b.) Partially addressed /may persist. Applicant response (letter d. Mar 2, 2022): `Attached is the
steep slope analysis based on field run topo. Much of the existing preserved steep slopes remained
preserved steep slopes. The layout has been updated to remove the impacts of the preserved
slopes in this area. The plans match the steep slope analysis and the impacts to the preserved steep
slopes have been removed. The improvements and the grading on the plans have been updated,
and there are no proposed impacts to the preserved slopes on the property.' Engineering has
reached out to Zoning /Planning concerning steep slopes overlay amendment process and board of
supervisors' role in removing areas from the steep slopes district, based on field -run survey. As
follow-u , please:
i. Reach out to Zoning /Planning to coordinate steep slopes amendment. Engineering is
supportive of data (1-p. graphic study) received with ISP submittal. As follow-up:
1. Please revise title ofAvon Court Initial Site Plan Slope Analysis to `Avon Court
Initial Site Plan Field -Survey Steep Slopes Exhibit.'
2. Date Exhibit.

3. Include brief narrative.
a. Include reference to SDP202200027.
b. List area (ft2) currently mapped preserved steep slopes to be classified
non -steep (<25%).
4. Include date of field run survey.
5. Include survey firm that conducted field run survey.
6. Include identifying information for Collins Engineering (firm, address, tel.,
email).
7. Edit labels which read `Preserved steep slopes classified as managed slopes
based on field run topo elevations,' to read `Preserved steep slopes classified
non -steep based on field run topo elevations,' unless otherwise instructed by
Zoning/Planning.
8. Recommend include outline of improvements in vicinity of currently mapped
preserved steep slopes (i.e., building footprint, EP, etc.: outlines with labels
(proposed drive aisle, parking, building, etc.)).
ii. Complete steps required by ordinance for amendment to steep slopes overlay district, per
Zoning /Planning guidance. Engineering is not lead on Ch. 18/Zoning requirements.
iii. Sheet 2: Please coordinate with Zoning /Planning on whether currently mapped preserved
steep slopes shown by survey to be <25% are managed slopes, or non -steep. It is our
understanding that Albemarle County zoning ordinance does not apply managed steep
slope requirements to slopes <25%, and that slopes <25% may be eligible for removal
from steep slopes overlay, once slope overlay amendment procedure for removal is
complete. This may require county board of supervisors' action, with steep slopes
exhibit providing basis of Engineering support for removal of slopes <25% from the
steep slopes overlay. If this proves true, final site plan legend should be edited to show:
preserved slopes, managed slopes, and non -steep slopes based on field run topo analysis.
b. Revise legend, per review item 2.a. above. (ISP-b.) May persist. Also, item 2.a.iii., above.
c. Provide circuit court deed bk.-pg. references for RW dedication /various easements. (ISP-b.)
Persists.
3. Sheet 3
a. 13' site access on south side of industrial building does not meet min. 2-way access width (20');
portion of site access south of building is eligible for 1-way access. Provide 1-way pavement
marking, No Entry sign/s, 1-way travel signs, etc. [ 18-4.12.17.c.2.] (ISP-b.) Addressed.
-: Applicant response to remaining SDP2021-00003 Engineering ISP review comments (save
item 17.): `This comment will be addressed with the final site plan.' Engineering accepts response
applies to items 3.b.-h., items 4: 16., which will be checked against the final site plan. Remaining
Engineering ISP review comments (may) persist.
b. 13' width on south side of building is inconsistent with Site Plan Note 5. please reconcile.
c. Provide site access profile showing smooth transition, Avon Court, proposed -to -existing.
d. Coordinate with VDOT to ensure state will accept portion of Avon Court proposed with ISP.
(Coordinate since Avon Ct. at this location does not appear to serve at least 3 separate entities.)
e. Coordinate 13' access width south of building with ACSA, to ensure adequate for fire rescue
vehicles.
f. Provide Avon Court typical road plan details:
i. Profile, w / VC -tangent design data.
ii. LD-204, LD-229.
iii. Pavement section based on peak ADT.
iv. Pavement design capable of supporting fire apparatus weighing 85,000 lb. (Note 5).
v. (Remaining) Civil details.
g. If industrial building will have security fence or entrance gates, recommend show on FSP.

7. Sheet 8
a. Revise Water Quantity Summary Narrative to reference stormwater conveyance downstream of
underground detention /dry detention basin. Although mapped floodplain does indicate limits of
analysis for flood control [9VAC25-870-66.C.3.c.], at mapped floodplain on this site there is a
pronounced 4' vertical drop, 360' to 356'. MS-19 requires measures to limit erosion impact/s to
adjacent /offsite parcel/s (City of Charlottesville, in this instance).
b. 9VAC25-840-40.19.a. applies to both underground detention and dry detention basin `A'.
Excerpt:
19. Properties and waterways downstream from development sites shall be protected from sediment
deposition, erosion and damage due to increases in volume, velocity and peak flow rate of stormwater runoff
for the stated frequency storm of 24-hour duration in accordance with the following standards and criteria.
Stream restoration and relocation projects that incorporate natural channel design concepts are not man-
made channels and shall be exempt from any flow rate capacity and velocity requirements for natural or man-
made channels:
a. Concentrated stormwater runoff leaving a development site shall be discharged directly into an
adequate natural or man-made receiving channel, pipe or storm sewer system. For those sites where
runoff is discharged into a pipe or pipe system, downstream stability analyses at the outfall of the pipe or
pipe system shall be performed.
SWM analysis is thoughtful. Erosion analysis prompts request for adequate man-made receiving
channel to such point erosion effects abate. Dry detention basin `A' is provided with a riprap
outfall, but not a receiving channel. Concentrated stormwater runoff leaving a development site
shall be discharged directly into an adequate natural or man-made receiving channel, pipe or storm
sewer systm. Adequacy of all channels and pipes shall be verified in the following manner:
b. Adequacy of all channels and pipes shall be verified in the following manner:
(1) The applicant shall demonstrate that the total drainage area to the point of analysis within the channel
is 100 times greater than the contributing drainage area of the project in question; or
(2) (a) Natural channels shall be analyzed by the use of a two-year storm to verify that stormwater will not
overtop channel banks nor cause erosion of channel bed or banks;
(b) All previously c tmcte an -made channels shall be analyzed by the use of a 10-year storm to verify
that stomwater will no rtop i rts banks and by the use of a two-year storm to demonstrate that
stormwater will not c e e ion of channel bed or banks; and
(c) Pip nd storm sewer systems shall be analyzed by the use of a 10-year storm to verify that
sto water 'It be contained within the pipe or system.
Emphasis of 9VAC25-840-40 (Minimum standards) differs from 9VAC25-870-66 (Water
quantity): requirements Aimits of analysis differ slightly. Note: Horizontal limit of floodplain are
not point of comparison for b(l), above. Rather, Moore's Creek is. b(2)(a) is NA [dry detention
basin /UG detention do not discharge to natural channels, but to slopes], b.(2)(b),(c) are NA.
c. Per 9VAC25-840-40.19.g., provide a receiving channel. ISP design proposes riprap outfall for the
detention system, not a receiving channel. Project receiving channel must discharge to an existing
natural channel, stream, or such point that channel characteristics yield to relatively flat terrain:
g. Outfall from a detention facility shall be discharged to a receiving channel, and energy dissipators shall
be placed at the outfall of all detention facilities as necessary to provide a stabilized transition from the
facility to the receiving channel.
d. Note: WP02021-00002 VSMP plan has been submitted; review is pending.
e. Albemarle avoids request for revisions not supported by Code /ordinance. Note: Immediately N of
development property (TMP # 07700-00-00-00900), 3/22/19 inspection of flume across preserved
steep slopes to streambank at Moore's Creek illustrates erosion even within floodplain [photo,
Alb. County, below]. MS-19 supports request for man-made channel sized to convey the 10-yr
event between contour elev. 360' to 354', designed to resist erosive velocity (Vel2-y,).
