Attached is a previous fire flow report verifying that 1000GPM can be achieved at 20 psi. Actually, according to the water model, with a 1000 GPM demand, the psi pressure on the system does not drop below 90 psi. Therefore, please allow this to serve as verification that there is adequate fire protection in the subdivision development. The development has a direct feed an looping system to a 12" waterline that is located on the east side of the property. In addition, the ACSA is reporting that 900' from this property, they are receiving fire flows in the range of 2770 GPM at 20 psi. VDOT Review: The developer intends to barricade the access onto existing Haden Lane at the property line as previously discussed and agreed upon with the approval of Ballard Field. The southern improvements of Haden lane will be made in conjunction with the development of the subdivision and a standard VDOT barricade will be placed at the property line. At the time when Jarman's gap road is improved and the intersection of Jarmans Gap Road and Hayden Road is improved, the developer will make the required improvements to the east side of Haden Road and remove the VDOT barricade, allowing the subdivision to have access to Jarmans Gap Road from Hayden Road. ACSA Review: The water meters have been positioned so they will not conflict with the driveways or shared driveways. If you have any questions, please call me at 434 -566 -1328. Si / e -•ly: Scott R.

The Virginia Department of Historic Resources' Historic Resource Quadrangle Maps have no surveyed historic architectural or archaeological sites identified on within the project area. Note: The absence of historic resources in DI R records does not necessarily mean that no historic properties are present. It is possible that the area in question has not been systematically surveyed for resources. Based upon the information above, I have elected not to conduct a site inspection. However, the presence of a cemetery and the close proximity to other historic buildings located in the area may be an indication that historic (50 years old or older) resources may be present. If you discover anything that you question pertaining to existing structures and/or sites and possible historical significance, please contact me to discuss your findings.

This existing roadway is not adequate to support traffic that may want to use this access. Improvements to Haden Lane were previously discussed with the applicant who agreed to make the connection and some of the improvements. If this connection is made traffic will attempt to use this substandard roadway. The developer will need to install a permanent barracade at the connection or make the necessary road improvements. § It is the Departments recommandation have the south end and east side improvements made with this development. The Jarman Gap Road project will make the intersection improvements, and the Haden Lane development has plans to improvement part of the west side of the Roadway.

[18.32.7.9.4.a] Identify the trees and plantings you show on the landscape plans. I need this specific information so that I can make sure that you meet the minimum requirements for street trees, canopy, and parking lot landscaping. 14. [18.32.7.9.6 Generally] It's going to be difficult to look at the landscaping requirements on a per - lot/block basis. Technically, to conform with the ordinance requirements, each block should meet the street tree and canopy requirements on it's own. For example a 0.472 acre block should provide a 20% canopy within that individual block or 0.0944 ac in canopy. The review of this is already tedious. I propose a solution. In reality I only really care about the street trees but I could not require and have you bond the street trees as part of the subdivision plat. If you would be willing to submit the overall landscape plan as the landscape plan for the entire development (this includes future townhouse plans as well) we'll be done. Basically if you do this one plan now we won't have to do another landscape plan again for the rest of Lower Ballard. If you are agreeable to this let me know and we can work out the details. We will have to have a separated detail for the parking lot landscaping. 15. [18.32.7.9.6.d] All street trees located on future individual lots must be protected through an easement agreement and maintained by a homeowner's association. Please show these easements on the site plan and submit a plat, with a fee and application, which shows these easements and also submit a maintenance agreement. This plat and agreement must be recorded prior to site plan approval. 16. [18.32.7.9.7] 5% of the area identified in #4 above must be landscaped in order to meet the minimum parking lot landscaping requirements. Please identify the plantings shown for the parking area on sheet 11 — you may already meet the requirements but I have to verify. Please contact Yadira Amarante at 296 -5823 ext. 3297 if you have any questions. • 2 Page 1 of 1 Yadira Amarante From: Pam Shifflett Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 3:06 PM To: Yadira Amarante Subject: RE: Old Trail - Ballard Field (upper) Yadira: I see sidewalks in the road bond estimate Glenn prepared but not street trees.
