CV recommendations
`For final site plan approval:
1. WPO plan approval is required prior to ESP approval.
a. Since on -site SWM facilities are proposed (underground detention), SWM facility and public
drainage easement (plat w/deeds) must be recorded prior to WPO plan approval, or with a
final subdivision plat.
b. Development proposes nutrient credit purchase; letter of nutrient credit availability from an
eligible nutrient bank is required prior to WPO plan approval.
2. If subdivision (not likely];
a. Road plan approval is required prior to final subdivision plat approval, and roads must be
built or bonded prior to final plat or final site plan approval.
b. SWM facility /public drainage easement may be recorded with a final subdivision plat.
3. Sheet 3:
a. At building 1 and 6, provide design that allows driver to reverse maneuver (3-point turn)
without using private drive /garage entrance. Design should allow vehicles (delivery, USPS,
private) entering development to reverse without using private entrances, to exit. 28' access
easement must be sufficient (small-scale t-type turnaround, etc. is required at last apartment
unit, building 1 and 6, with Autotum fig, with final site plan).
b. Revise building exit, N end building #4, such that residents do not virtually immediately
encounter curb /travelway. Proposed design must provide ADA compliant landing. Current
exit location (proximate to travelway, N end building #4) presents hazard to residents, a risk
to public health, safety, and welfare.
4. Sheet 4: Provide continuance of storm conveyance from Walgreen's underground SWM facility
(adjacent parcel to west), which releases runoff to the Maplewood Development in existing
condition. Make provision for off -site storm runoff that currently releases to Maplewood.'

1) The dead end on Caspian Lane, SW portion at 8 unit multifamily is longer than 150 ft and requires an
approved turnaround for fire apparatus. The terminus depicted in this plan does not meet the
requirement as an approved turnaround for fire apparatus.
2) Due to the proposed max. height of the buildings, the travelway widths of the fire apparatus access
roads must be 26 ft. in width, unobstructed. To ensure this occurs, there needs to be no parking, fire
lane signs and/or markings along the roads. There are signs depicted on the plan, but does not appear
they meet spacing requirement to allow enforcement.
3) Please indicate the need fire flow for the buildings as a note on the plans.
4) Please indicate the available fire flow as a note on the plans.
5) Hydrants are required for the proposal. Please indicate the location of hydrants to ensure they meet
the required number and spacing based on the needed fire flow (the least strigent which is every 500
feet with no building more than 250 feet from a hydrant.
6) If the buildings are equipped with a sprinkler system, please indicate the location of the fire
department connections (FDC) for each building and ensure there is a hydrant within 100 feet of the
FDC, arranged so that when hydrant and FDC are in use, the travelway access is not obstructed.

Ben,
I recommend SDP202200049 Maplewood Development — Initial Site Plan for approval with the
following conditions:
Submit a copy of the utility drawings to ACSA for review.
The ACSA has updated the typical easement widths for sanitary sewer mains, relative to depth. The
ACSA may require additional easement for the sanitary sewer main throughout the site.
Thanks,

Dear Ms. Gleason:
(804) 786-2701
Fax: (804) 786,2940
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced Maplewood Development, as submitted by Collins
Engineering, dated July 7, 2022 and find the following:
1. Please submit turn lane warrants for review per section 3 of RDM appendix F.
2. Pedestrian crosswalk warrant is required for mid -block crossings. Mid -block crossings are
crossings not associated with stop locations. These crossings must be evaluated in
accordance with the guidelines of IIM-TE-384.
3. Please show entrance throat dimensions per figure 4-9 commercial entrance designs along
highways with shoulders, RDM appendix F.
4. Show/label types of curbing and transition areas in entrance area.
5. CG-12 across proposed entrance do not appear to meet the standards. Please refer to Sheet
204.1 of the VDOT Road & Bridge Standards for detectable warning installed on a radius.
6. Entrance appears to be shown as CG-13 for commercial entrance with heavy truck traffic
anticipated sheet 203.10 instead of a CG-11 entrance. Please explain.
7. The proposed 10' asphalt pathway will need to be on one side of the right of way in its entirety.
If within the R/W, path will need to meet the Shared Use Path criteria per RDM appendix A(1).
8. Please show how existing off -site drainage from TMP 32-37C will be addressed and not affect
existing/proposed right of way on Rte. 649 (Proffit Rd.) and Rte. 1722 (Worth Xing).
9. Please show the proposed landscaping.
10. Appears to be a potential conflict with drainage structures and directional signs, please review.
11. Please show all proposed utility work within the R/W and mill/overlay areas per LUP-OC.
12. Due to the level of items noted in this review, these comments may not be exhaustive.
13. Please provide a comment response letter with each submission after the initial.

WE KEEP VIRGINIA MOVING
14. Note that the final plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design Manual
Appendices B(1) and F, as well as any other applicable standards, regulations or other
requirements.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right of way. The
owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency land Use Section at (434) 422-9399
for information pertaining to this process.
If you have further questions please contact Max Greene at (434) 422-9894.

1. Site plan should more clearly indicate that shared use path is to be constructed along Proffit
Road (rather than solely dedicating right-of-way), particularly on page 3.
2. CG-12 ADA ramp should be added to the shared use path on the northeast corner of the
property to allow for access to the splitter island.
3. There appear to be significant gaps in the plan's pedestrian infrastructure for internal
circulation. Specifically, there appear to be no sidewalks along Caspian, Keener, and Drexel
Lanes. Further, when sidewalks intersect these streets, the sidewalks end abruptly with the
sidewalk offset by at least 50' on the opposite side of the street (Drexel) or not continuing at all
(Keener).
4. Where the pedestrian infrastructure crosses Drexel (site entrance)there should be traffic
calming or at least an indication that drivers should expect pedestrians (as this is currently the
only pedestrian access to the recreational area/tot lot for most residents).
