Our responses are as follows: Planning 1. Comment: [General] (Comment from January 6, 2014: Landscaping appears to be on top of sanitary/sewer lines in many locations on both C-31 & 32. Please revise or confirm that they can be planted in these locations. Also confirm that all lighting is out of the lines.) Landscaping/trees still appear to be over sanitary/sewer lines in several areas on C-33 & 34. If you want to meet to further discuss, let me know. Also the lighting comment above was not addressed. Response: Landscaping has been shifted off of pipes. VDOT,Troy Austin 1. Comment: The street names are not consistent throughout the plans. Response: The street names have been updated. 2.

A note has been added to the "Stonefield Blocks F&G Road Plan" on Drawing Number C-l. 3. Comment: Sidewalks are typically shown on both sides of street. Is there a waiver to only show sidewalk on one side of the street for Blackbird Lane and Swanson Drive Extended? Please clarify. Response: This site plan is consistent with the ZMA Plan and the Initial Plan. 4.

That radius is 15' per a meeting at the County Office Building on 1/30/14. 5. Comment: The 10' radius at the intersection of Swanson Drive Extended and 4th Street should also be 25' at a minimum. Response: The intersection has been updated to show a 25' radius. 6. Comment: Blackbird Lane, Swanson Drive Extended and 4th Street are crowned with runoff draining to DI's. Please show CG-6 instead of CG-2. Response: The CG-2 will remain per your e-mail dated 1/24/2014. 7. Comment: The intersection of Swanson Drive Extended and 4th St. is almost addressed. The median on 4th St. needs to be widened to about 4' and revised to a raised median for its entire length. The pavement striping will not work. This raised median will be a pedestrian refuge if future sidewalks are necessary. Also, please provide a minimum radius of 3' for the median allowing channelized flow from Swanson Drive Extended. Response: The left turn lane off of 4th street has been removed and the median has been extended. 8. Comment: The applicant has agreed to reserve a possible parking entrance at the intersection of Blackbird Lane and District Ave. Please place a note on plan noting the entrance will be opened if left turn lane queuing length to proposed F-1 Bldg. entrance is deemed inadequate by the County Engineer.
