The road plans are currently under review with ACSA.
Fire Rescue —Howard Lagomarsino
1) The plan shows hydrants that do not conform to the required spacing based on the anticipated
needed fire flow. Hydrants are required every 500 feet and arranged so that no

building is more than 250 feet from a hydrant as measured by travel way. Several hydrants, as shown on
this plan do not meet this requirement. this includes the hydrant serving Headland Ct., Ripirain Ct., the
West end of Cliffstone Blvd. Cul de Sac, Retreat and Loop.
Additional hydrants have been provided and others have been moved to meet the spacing
requirements.
2) All structures require a fire apparatus access road that provides access to all sides of the ground
level within 150 ft of the apparatus on the road.
Understood
3) If structures are 30 ft or less tall (generally three stories or less) than the required travel way width
for a fire apparatus access road is 20 ft., unobstructed (including free from obstruction of parked cars).
To allow parking on both sides, assuming a parking space with a width of 8 ft., the road needs to be 36
feet, for one side parking, the road's minimum width is 28 ft.; If the structures are over 30 feet tall
(generally more than three stories, than the fire apparatus access must allow for aerial firefighting
apparatus and requires a minimum unobstructed travel way width of 26 feet.
Understood
4) Please clarify that the roads meet the standards in comment 3 and add no parking signs where parking
would obstruct the travel way below the minimum widths in comment 3.
The typical road width is 36' FC-FC
Planning, VDOT and GIS had no objections to the plans.
Engineering plan review staff are available from 2-4 PM on Thursdays, should you require a
meeting to discuss this review.
Process:
After approval, plans will need be bonded. The bonding process begins when the plan is approved, and
the applicant submits a bond estimate request form and fee to the Department of Community
Development. A plan reviewer will prepare estimates and check parcel and
easement information based on the approved plans. The County s Management Analyst will prepare
bond agreement forms, which will need to be completed by the owner and submitted alongwith cash,
certificates or sureties for the amounts specified. The agreements will need to be approved and signed
by the County Attorney and County Engineer. This maytake 2-4 weeks to obtain all the correct
signatures and forms.
Stormwater Management Facilities Maintenance agreements will also need to be completed and
recorded. The County s Management Analyst or other staff will prepare the forms and check for
ownership and signature information. The completed forms will need to be submitted to the County,
who will record the agreement.
After bonding and agreements are complete, county staff enters project information in a DEQ database

for state application processing, if a DEQ permit is required. DEQ reviews the application information
based on local VSMP authority approval. At this time, the DEQ portion of the application fees will need
to be paid directly to the state. For fastest processing, this is done

electronically with the emails provided on the application. DEQ should notify applicants with
instructions on how to pay fees. When DEQ approves the application, they will issue a permit
coverage letter, which must be posted at the construction site.
After DEQ coverage is issued, via the coverage letter, the County can hold a pre -construction
conference. Applicants must complete the request for a pre -construction conference form and pay the
remainder of the application fee. The form identifies the contractor and responsible land disturber, and
the fee remaining to be paid.This will be checked by county staff, and upon approval, a pre -construction
conference will be scheduled with the County inspector. At the pre- construction conference, should
everything proceed satisfactorily, ajoint VSMP and grading permit will be issued by the County so that
work may begin.
County forms can be found on the county website forms center under engineering;
