Comments from Other Reviewers:
Albemarle County Engineering Services (Engineer) — David James, diames2galbemarle.org —
Requested changes, see below.
1. The 20' & var. width drainage easement should be labeled public instead of private (E9 thru
E18). Addressed. Easement now annotated as 'Public'.
2. The easement should be called `SWM FACILITY EASMENT' (El thru EC14). Addressed.
Easement label content changed from Stormwater Management to'SWM'.
3. The SWM facility easement should be offset another 10' outward and terminate the
easement at the right-of-way line. Addressed insofar as easement now extends to US 250 right
of way line.
4. The outfall SWM facility easement should be 20' minimum width (El, E2, E5)
and remove the 10'easement label & arrow. Addressed. Easement has been
expanded each direction, 5 additional feet northwesterly and now extends entirely to US
250 right of way line to the southeast (10 feet clearance northwesterly provided from
proposed drainage pipe)
5. Revise area total for SWM facility easement. Addressed. New Area presented on revised plat
submitted (being 0.115 AC or 5025 SF)
6. Change labels `CRITICAL' Slopes to `MANAGED' Slopes. Addressed.
7. Include Line Table information for E12 thru E22, etc. Addressed; these line labels were
previously presented although the table header was omitted for column 2. Headers provided now for
both columns.
8. EC15 line should be removed. Addressed.
9. Sign professional seals and update dates. Noted; Surveyor seal to be signed (wet) upon
distribution of plat for owner signature and subsequent county approval.
VDOT Comments:
1. Discussions between VDOT and Albemarle County (re: SDP-2022-00007) may make the
right-of-way dedication along Rte 250 irrelevant, requiring it to be removed. Per County
comments, 'new' Right of way shall remain as previously shown with addition of note stating'Future
County Addition' for areas adjacent to US 250 / Rockfish Gap Tpke.
If the right-of-way dedication along Rte 250 is required, it will need to be deeded to the
Commonwealth. Charlottesville Residency will coordinate this between the Developer
and Culpeper District Right -of -Way Section. Noted.
3. Change the label of the sight -distance easement to "Public Sight Distance Easement."
Addressed.
4. Add a note: " VDOT will only maintain within the sight -distance easement to the extent
necessary to protect the traveling public." Addressed.
5. Private storm water systems that carry storm water from public roadways, such as the
system going from the north end of the building to the SWM Facility and from the SWM
Facility to the southern property line, need to be within a public drainage easement to the
point of natural outfall. Addressed.
6. As drawn, the public easement around the SWM Facility is inaccessible because it does
not start at the property line, and there are no public easements leading from the property
line to it. Resolving Comment 5 will likely solve this problem. Addressed.
7. Add a note: "VDOT will only maintain within the drainage easements to the extent
necessary to protect the road." Addressed.
Thank you.
