Jonathan,
I have two questions/comments on the comments we received:
1. Comment#4 Sheet 2 (Michelle Roberge)-re: slopes waiver; is this a comment that needs to be addressed or
just a heads-up? Do you want a note? If so, please provide the acceptable wording.
2. Comment#5 Sheet 2 (Michelle Roberge)-re:the culvert that does not lie within the easement; the culvert was
field located and the easement is based on the VDOT plans referenced on the plat. It is not unusual for a culvert
to be constructed such that it does not conform to the easement. I would think this would be a VDOT issue and
not something Mr. Williams needs to correct.
Please let me know what you think, ' M C41 /AAA tt 44 /CIL-4

Johnathan,
This is something I had discussed with Mr.Williams prior to submittal. It is not unusual for us to wait until comments are
received before the owner goes to the expense of contacting Steve Gooch for his work.That is the case here. Based on
past experience the health department report is not something you need to complete your review but is something that
may be needed for approval.So two questions 1. Do both Parcel 'X' and the 11 acre residue need to be tested?As a
general rule lots over 5 acres do not require health department approval. 2. Are there other comments? I would prefer
to handle all comments at once with Mr. Williams and combine our work requirements in one return trip to the site if
necessary. If the health department is the only comment please let me know. If there are other comments please send
them.
Mr. Williams,
I will contact Steve Gooch (531-0487)this morning to give him a heads up that you will be calling him. We do a lot of
work with Steve so the process will not require much of your time but you will be contracted to him directly and you
need to get him proposed costs directly from him. We will provide him with the necessary information for him to do his
work. It is standard procedure for the client to contact VDOT directly.We can do it for you if requested;just let me
know.

Ed,
I believe some of the email addresses"CC'd"on Mr. William's email below are incorrect. He tried to copy you on a
response to me earlier today. Here is my response.
Thanks,

Mr. Williams,
Good to speak with you on the phone.
I've pasted below two sections of our Subdivision Ordinance that apply to your subdivision application - -
Sections 14-309 and 14-310. Most often, I am provided with information created by Gooch Engineering (or
another firm)that has tested the soils on this property and I forward the results to the Health Department for
their review. Their approval is required before our office can sign the subdivision plat.
14-309 Soil evaluations.
The subdivider shall submit to the agent with each final plat the results of percolation tests or other
methods of soil evaluation used to determine the suitability of the soil for subsurface drainfields, if
conventional onsite sewage systems are proposed to be used in the development of the subdivision, and the
results are requested by the agent.These results shall be forwarded by the agent to the health director.
(9-5-96, 8-28-74; 1988 Code, § 18-23; Ord. 98-A(1), 8-5-98; Ord.05-14(1),4-20-05, effective 6-20-05; Ord. 12-14(1), 7-
11-12)State law reference--Va. Code §§ 15.2-2241(3), 15.2-2262.
14-310 Health director approval of individual private wells and/or onsite sewage systems.
If required as a condition of final plat approval, a final plat shall not be approved if individual
private wells are proposed for the subdivision until written approval has been received from the health
director by the agent.A final plat shall not be approved if onsite sewage systems are proposed for the
subdivision until written approval has been received from the health director by the agent, provided further
that if the subdivision will be served by conventional onsite sewage systems:
A.The health director shall determine the suitability of the soil of each lot of the subdivision
for which conventional onsite sewage systems will be constructed, and shall submit his opinion to the
agent.
B.The health director may require as a condition of his approval of the installation of
conventional onsite sewage systems that individual lots be graded and drained so as to assure the effective
removal of surface water from each lot.
C.Special lots shall not be subject to this section unless the special lot is created for a water
supply or waste disposal purpose.
(Ord. 98-A(1), 8-5-98; Ord.05-14(1),4-20-05, effective 6-20-05; Ord. 11-14(1), 6-1-11; Ord. 12-14(1),7-11-12) State law
reference--Va. Code §§ 15.2-2242(2), 15.2-2262
In addition to providing us information for the Health Department, applicants also contact VDOT to request an
inspection of proposed entrances off of public roads. Please contact Dennis Seale, Permit and Subdivision
Specialist Sr., to coordinate his review of your application at Dennis.Seale@VDOT.Virginia.gov or 434-589-
1053. He can email me with his comments once he has completed his review.

Hi Mr. Williams,
I will be handling your subdivision application and have a couple questions.
1. Have you already submitted soils work to the Health Department?
2. Have you contacted VDOT about approval for an entrance onto a public road?
