SUB201400094– Required with Final Plat
Sec. 14 -311: "detailed plans, computations and necessary supporting documents for all physical
improvements including, but not limited to, road plans, drainage plans and computations,
erosion and sediment control plans and stormwater management plans and computations as
required by the water protection ordinance, landscape plans, water and sewer plans and
computations as required by the service authority, flooding computations and plans if
applicable, and any other documents deemed necessary by the county engineer. The plans,
computations and necessary supporting documents shall also be submitted to other appropriate
agencies." Plans referenced in Sec. 14 -311 must be approved prior to final plat approval.
Road Plan comments, preliminary:
15. Lots 1, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23 front public streets: Fremont St., Newport St, and Binion St. Driveway
entrances for these lots –if located as far from Park Ridge as possible and vehicles turning off
Park Ridge Drive — provide quite limited sight distance. Caution against limited sight distance for
driveway entrances.
16. Newport Street (public street) bears north, turns 90 -deg west onto a private road. This design is
unacceptable. The 90 -deg bend is not an intersection but break in alignment. Newport St should
be designed as a continuous public road between Park Ridge Drive and NW corner of block B, or
as a private road. Design of a private road serving twelve lots must meet VDOT standards,
including 200' min centerline radius, minimum stopping and intersection sight distances, and
min. paved width (24', FC /FC). Eliminate 90 -deg bend.
17. Private road serving twenty lots (blocks J -L) must meet VDOT standards, including min. sight
distance, min. paved width (24', FC /FC).
18. For roadways labeled private, follow Albemarle County Code Sections 14- 233/234; 14 -306:
private street request procedures.
19. Private road and private alley parallel to Park Ridge Drive do not meet minimum intersection
sight distance requirements; show intersection sight distance lines for Maryland St.- private road
intersection. [AC 18 -4.4]
20. Five intersection sight distances lines appear to be < 335'; please note which sight distance lines
are < 335' –ref. Note 1, sheet 3. [122', 275', 280', 280', 280']
21. Increase radius of curb at intersection, Private Alley and Newport St, to 25' [if alley retained, ref
20, above –VDOT Road Design Manual, Appendix 131.4.E.- Elements of Typical Section,
Intersections].
22. Increase radius of curb at intersection, Private Alley and Park Ridge Drive, to 25'.
23. Label intersection radii at private alley - private alley, E -NE corner of development.
24. Alley N of block A: show width. Dead -end alleys with turnarounds may permitted by waiver from
the County Engineer. Apply for waiver. Furnish flanking storm drains at intersection: Alley N of
block A- Fremont St. [ ACDSM, 7. D.4. ]
25. Furnish retaining wall design (engineering details and computations) for proposed retaining
wall; ref. ACDSM - 8.13.2. [link:
http: / /www.albemarle.org/ department. asp ?department= cdd &relpage =4447 ]
26. Drainage –check all flow line arrows: there is apparent error at several locations, including:
south arrow in pipe between block E and F; leaving inlet on Park Ridge between block E and F;
west into inlet on Binion St; and east and then north into inlet on Park Drive.
27. Furnish inlet on Fremont St, south of Private Alley.
28. Furnish additional inlets at these intersections: Maryland St -Park Ridge Dr.; Maryland St -Pvt.
Road to ensure drainage does not flow into intersected roadway.
29. Drainage /cul -de -sacs: compare inlet locations with driveway entrances. Provide drain inlets that
divert runoff away from driveway entrances (Lots 6 -9; 17 -20).
30. Provide CG -12, NW corner, Park Ridge Dr.- Fremont St. intersection.
31. Furnish inlet /pipe schedules and calculations.
32. Label curb type (roll -top / CG -6, etc).
33. Show traffic controls.
34. WPO comments, preliminary:
35. Furnish outlet protection for storm pipe discharging to SE corner of proposed SWM facility.
36. Furnish copy of DEQ VPDES permit (VAR10C610).
37. Extend 100' stream buffer from TM parcel 05600- 00 -00- 09400, west onto TM parcel 05600 -00-
00- 05700.
38. Show access to proposed SWM facility. [ ref § AC 14 -431 ]
39. Furnish easement for access for proposed SWM facility. [ AC 14 -431 ]
40. Furnish design, plan /profiles, data, and routings for SWM facility, demonstrating compliance
with quality and quantity criteria using the Runoff Reduction Method, (2- /10 -yr storm events).
41. Provide Mitigation for stream buffer impacts: pipe outfall, SWM facility; utility line between lots
7 and 8.
Please contact John Anderson at 296 -5832 if you have questions or require additional information.
ACSA approval to include (1 copy to County, 3 copies to ACSA):
The applicant should submit 3 copies of construction drawings along with water and sewer data sheets
to the ACSA (Attn: Jeremy Lynn, PE). See attached comments from ACSA
Please contact Alex Morrison at 977 -4511 ext 116 if you have questions or require additional
information.
E911 approval to include (1 copy):
1. The applicant should clarify if Blocks J, K, and L will have the front accesses located. It appears
that the homes in these blocks will be facing the 'Private Road'. This road will need to be named
if it will be the primary access to the properties. The 'Private Road' providing access to Blocks B,
C, D, and Lot 85 will need to be named. Please contact this office with a list of three (3)
proposed road names for the 'Private Roads' in question.
Please contact Andrew Slack at 296 -5832 if you have questions or require additional information.
VDOT approval to include (1 copy):
1. The sight lines are shown on the preliminary plat, however the distances should be included
also.
2. It appears that the street trees on the north side of Park Ridge Drive to the east of Newport
Street may interfere with the sign distance at Newport Street
3. All street trees should be located at a minimum of 30' from the end of radius at each
intersection in accordance with Appendix B(1) of the Road Design Manual. This can be
addressed during road plan review.
4. As designed, Newport Street to the north of Park Ridge Drive would need to be a private road
due to the lack of adequate turnaround and the perpendicular parking at the tot lot.
5. Street intersections, public of private, should be perpendicular of each other.
6. The minimum radii at each intersection should be 25'.
7. Maryland Street and the private alley on the opposite side of Park Ridge Drive should be aligned
with each other.
8. The typical section for an Avenue in the Crozet Masterplan shows accommodations for bicycle
travel, however the typical street sections shown in the preliminary plat does not address this
issue.
9. The Typical Neighborhood Street Section (57' R /W) indicates parking on one side of the street.
Neither the typically section nor the plan view indicates which side of the streets will be used for
on street parking. Please note that on street parking may interfere with available sight distance.
0
10. The asphalt paving design provided may interfere with available sight distance.
11. Based on the Crozet Masterplan, Park Ridge Drive would need to connect to Hill Top Street.
There appears to be a parcel of land that is owned by the Parkside Village HOA that would
prevent this connection without the support of the HOA.
