RE: Willow Glen: Comment Response Letter(SDP201900017)
Dear Tim:
Please allow this to serve as our responses to staffs comments dated May 7, 2019.
PLANNING

on the Cover Sheet(G000).
d. We have revised in the Project Data on Sheet(now Sheet G105)the table
reference associated with the Setbacks.
e. Duly noted and no response is needed. However, Sheet G103 has been
renumbered and now is Sheet G105.
3. The Cover Sheet notes the number of sheets from the construction set submitted to the
County.
4. SDP201900017 has been added to the Cover Sheet (G000) under County Projects.
5. The maximum building heights in each Block is listed within the Lot/Parking/Building
Regulation Table now on Sheet G105.
6. Existing well locations have been shown on Sheet C101 for TMP 32-49F, 32-49B and 32-
491.

12. --
a. On the Grading Sheets (C110-113)we have noted the tree areas to be saved.
Tree protection (i.e. limits of disturbance) measures are reflected in the approved
WPONSMP Plans (C701-706) and discussed in the SWPPP. Noting these areas
on the landscape plans seems redundant and not necessary considering the
timing in which these measures are installed. The sum of these areas in Phase 2
equal the line titled, Preserved Tree Save Areas in the County Tree Canopy
Calculations found on Sheet L100.
b. We have included the Conservation Plan Checklist on Sheet L100.
13. We have adjusted Fitness Station#2 to be entirely on our property. No off-site easement
is required from the adjacent owner.
14. The street light found on Sheet L705 now highlights our intension to use the"Full Cutoff"
option. Within the General Lighting Notes found on Sheet L705 address the Zoning
Ordinance issues.
Advisory 1: A Subdivision Plat is being developed now and will be submitted soon.
Advisory 2: --
a. A Easement Pat is being developed and will submitted soon.
b. Road Plans will be submitted soon.
c. The WPO has been approved. No response is needed.
Advisory 3: A letter was emailed to you on 5-15-19 requesting an extension to our valid site plan.
ENGINEERING
1. Road Plans will be submitted soon.
E911
1. This issue has been resolved and no longer applicable.
INSPECTIONS
1. See Sheet G101 (Note#160 under Site Specific Notes.

3. See Sheet G101 (Note#28) under General Notes.
4. See Sheet G101 (Note#29) under General Notes.
5. See Sheet G101 (Note#22) under General Notes. Please note, we can not make this a
blanket statement; therefore, we added "whenever possible but not in all cases"
considering the way the site is graded, storm laid out and our building parameters that
also reflect the conditions from the previously approved site plan.
ACSA
1. We have now provided you via email the information needed to satisfy the RWSA
capacity agreement.
2. These plans will be submitted soon.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT
1. No responses are required. All wells found on-site have been noted on the Sheet C101.
We have also received via email the necessary information to abandon a well if we find it
necessary. We have inserted those notes on Sheet G101.
FIRE RESCUE
1. As discussed we have added a 20' wide emergency access connection between
Hartsfield Court and Dickerson Road. This will be restricted per the details shown.
2. As discussed we have modified the terminus of Adelaide Court(formerly Tradeau Court
Ext.)We have also added a note on Sheet C107 that reads 'No Parking Fire Lane".
3. Done. However, we did not add a hydrant at the entrance but instead at the intersection
of Willow Glen Drive and Prestwick Glen Drive. This was to avoid an additional jack and
bore across Dickerson Road and there is already a fire hydrant across Dickerson Road
near our proposed entrance.
4. See Note on Sheet C108 at the Clubhouse.
5. Based on our conversation during the Site Review, we believe this is no longer an issue.
6. As discussed, the distance between face of curb to face of curb where parallel parking is
located along Prestwick Glen Drive is 36-feet.
7. We have added a note on Sheet C107 that reads `No Parking Fire Lane".
8. We have submitted this in the past. We hope that this information is still adequate and
can be used to address this comment.
VDOT
1. Duly noted. Advisory Signs (W13-5) remain on the plans and can be found on Sheets
C108.
2. We have removed the pedestrian tunnel from the plans and gone back to a traditional
stair connection between Shannon Glen Court and the trail behind Lot 7.14.
3. Removing the utilities (storm, water and sewer)within Shannon Glen Court is an
unfeasible request. These along with the culvert have been approved multiple times in
the past by your office. This is an amendment to an approved site plan. We request these
remain as approved; and therefore, not required to be removed in the vicinity of the
culvert.
4. We have removed the crosswalk at the end of Shannon Glen Court.
5. We understand the standard to keep street trees 30' away from intersections. However,
there are a few instances where our proposed street trees will not interfere with the sight
distance at the intersection and furthermore comply with the County's street
enhancement/beautification initiatives. These few instances are located:
a. At the northeast end of the median of Willow Glen Drive.
b. The northwest(outbound)side of Willow Glen Drive and Prestwick Glen Drive
beside of Lot 2.1.
c. The northwest side of the intersection of Heathrow Glen Circle and Shannon
Glen Court in front of Lot 7.14 since it is behind the line of sight from that
intersection.
d. The northwest side of Prestwick Glen Drive and Heathrow Glen Circle in front of
Lot 6.24.
e. The northeast side of Heathrow Glen Circle and Prestwick Glen Drive in front of
Lot 3.2.
f. And if applicable, the trees at the intersection of Prestwick Glen Drive and
Tradeau Court.
6. We have removed the parallel parking along the inside of the Heathrow Glen Circle
curve.

Landscape Arr tzrfedz.rre and Site Planning
7. We have tapered the two end parallel parking spaces near the loading area on Prestwick
Glen Drive.
8. Sheets C105-108 now shows the sight distance lines. Profiles for these sight lines are
found on Sheet C209.
9. Needs to be addressed.
10. Streets have been labeled on Sheets C105-108, C110-C118. For reference, the Public
Streets are Willow Glen Drive, Prestwick Glen Drive, Hartsfield Court, Heathrow Glen
Circle and Shannon Glen Court. Tradeau Court and Adelaide Court will be Private
Streets.
11. This condition has been continuously shown in this development on the approved plans
and multiple revisions. The latest was associated with the Amended Road Plans to
accommodate the substitution of a box culvert for the originally proposed bridge. This
was approved back in November 2015. Given this submission is a amendment to our
approved plans we feel this request is not appropriate and ask that this situation remain
as it's been approved multiple times in the past by your office.
12. CG-12's have been added/revised to all streets. The crossing at Dickerson Road and
Willow Glen Drive has been revised to be perpendicular to Willow Glen Drive.
13. We have revised to show the entire south lane width of Dickerson Road at our entrance
to be milled and overlaid. See Detail A on Sheet C105. Limits and any necessary striping
will be determined in the field with the Inspector.
14. The slopes between the back of sidewalk and retaining wall are labeled 4:1 /3:1 max to
help minimize the exposed wall height. Even though you request the guardrail be
removed to eliminate any maintenance concerns we feel the guardrail is still warranted.
To resolve this comment, we have moved it outside the right-of-way and labeled it
optional and to be privately maintained.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call. I can be reached at 434-531-7507.
Sincerely,
