Comments from Other Reviewers: Albemarle County Engineering Division - John Anderson, 4anderson2@albemarle.org - Requested changes. Please see the attached document. Albemarle County Fire Rescue - Howard Lagomarsino, hlagomarsino(a)albemarle.org - Requested changes. Please see below. 1. Caspian Lane dead ends at Building #1 and the dead end at Kerner Lane ends at building # 6 and Worth Crossing. The dead ends are greater than 150 feet, so require an acceptable turn around, which the proposed turn arounds shown do not meet the requirements for emergency vehicles. Please clarify if the interparcel travelway and at Worth's Crossing, as well as if the bollards shown are removable. 2. To utilize the hydrant on the dead end side of Caspian Lane with the FDC on Building #1 and the hydrant on Kerner Lane at Buildings # 4 and 5 in conjunction with FDC on Building # 6, requires blocking the travelway with hose, creating an impediment for fire apparatus to reach all points of the ground level of building #1 and building # 6, within 150 feet from the fire apparatus stopped on the fire apparatus access road. 3. The locations of the hydrants near the buildings must meet the water service authority requirements for clearance from the building, as determined by the water service authority. Albemarle County Architectural Review Board (ARB) - Margaret Maliszewski, mmaliszewski(a)albemarle.org - Requested changes. Please see below. An ARB application for a Final Site Development Plan is required. Provide all Final Site Plan checklist items, and address all items listed in the August 16, 2022 ARB action letter. Albemarle County Planning (Transportation) - Jessica Hersh-Ballering, ihballering@albemarle.org - Requested changes. Please see below. 1. Site plan should more clearly indicate that shared use path is to be constructed along Proffit Road (rather than solely dedicating right-of-way), particularly on page 3. 2. CG-12 ADA ramp on the northeast corner of the property is not labeled 3. There appear to be significant gaps in the plan's pedestrian infrastructure for internal circulation. Specifically, when sidewalks intersect Drexel Lane and Keener Lane, the sidewalks end abruptly with the sidewalk offset by at least WWW.ALBEMARLE.ORG 401 McIntire Road, North Wing, I Charlottesville, VA 22902-4579 50' on the opposite side of the street (Drexel) or not continuing at all (Keener). In accordance with Albemarle County Code Sec. 32.7.2.3.b, the applicant should revise the sidewalk plan so that individuals using the sidewalks - and especially those reliant on the CG-12 ADA ramps - are not forced to walk in the roadway. The proposed layout is a safety concern. Virginia Department of Transportation - Max Greene, max.greene@vdot.virginia.gov - Requested changes. Please see the attached document.

General (for ESP approval): a. Approved WPO required. b. WPO plan approval requires: i. Recorded SWM facility /public drainage easement, with deeds. ii. Recorded SWM facility Maintenance Agreement. iii. Recorded temp grading /access easement w/ TMP 46114-3. 2. Sheet 2: General Note 4., please clarify `the site is currently under construction,' since it does not appear to be. 3. Sheet 5: Provide copy of recorded variable width temporary grading and access easement on adjacent parcel, TMP 46134-3 (Forest Lakes Self -Storage); this item is required for Final Site Plan Approval. 4. Sheet 8: Increase pipe DIA pipe UGDI to Str. 38 to 24", since proposed 18" DIA capacity =8.28cfs while Qt=8.27cfs. 5. Sheet 9: A number of pipes are proposed 0.50% (Minimum). Flexible HDPE at 0.5% risks error that may be difficult or expensive to remedy if deflection or deformation relating to flat grade exceed max. tolerance. Encourage increase 0.50% slightly, if only to 0.55%, to offset risk during construction, to allow slight error. 6. Sheet 9: Revise lower -right text block reference to 2008 R&B Standards to ref. 2016 R&B Std., instead. 7. Sheet 10: For Caspian Lane, provide VDOT underdrain at cut /fill transition, Sta. 13+10 approx. 8. Increase Str. 16 DI throat length to 10', inlet is located on Drexel Lane, a principal access and final site plan inlet design table (VDOT LD-204), sheet 8A, SDP202200067 indicates Lt, this inlet=10.68' but inlet throat length provided is only 6' causing inlet carryover during 6.5" /hr. storm intensity event. 9. Sheet 3 a. Revise label /relocate leader line at SE comer of building #2 to `Proposed 5' conc. SW' that points to sidewalk.

Drexel Lane : driveway entrances. Caspian Lane : stop sign. Int. Drexel - Caspian. Entrance from Worth Crossing, drives, and stop sign at building 4, discussed below. It may be possible to preserve units and meet standards, but there is point at which maximum density meets design /safety standards, beyond which, spatial constraints limit number of units. Proposed buildings, internal network, recreational areas, additional parking, secondary emergency access, SWM, and aesthetic features reflect design that nearly meets (VDOT) standards. A stop sign at Drexel -Caspian must be visible (item 9.b.iv., below). At Applicant's discretion, two stop signs on Caspian may replace single stop on Drexel, revised thru-motion likely meets drivers' expectations. i. Provide >_ 35' throat length between curb at Worth Crossing and drive entrances nearest Worth Crossing (bldg. #2 and #3). See VDOT Road Design Manual, Apppx F, Sec. 4 Entrance Design, p. 104 for definition, Commercial Entrance (Drexel Lane -Worth Crossing is a commercial entrance), design subject to p. 109, Table 4-2, Summary of Entrance Throats, and Fig. 44A Entrance Throat Detail.

Particularly where the on -site parking can back out of and block the entrance and prevent a vehicle from entering. To avoid this problem, a distance of at least 50 feet is used on entrance length where back out parking may interfere with entry movement.

Brich, P.E. 1401 East Broad Street Commissioner Richmond, Virginia 23219 January 19, 2022 Syd Shoaf County of Albemarle Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Re: SDP-2022-00067 — Maplewood Development - FSP Dear Mr. Shoaf: (804) 786-2701 Fax: (804) 786,2940 The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use Section, has reviewed the above referenced Maplewood Development, as submitted by Collins Engineering, dated October 28, 2022 and find the following: 1. Please submit turn lane warrants with proposed volume counts for review, per section 3 of RDM appendix F. 2. Mill/overlay areas will need to be extended to a minimum F past the proposed work along the existing State routes. 3. Proposed roundabout for the intersection of Rte. 649 and Rte. 1722 is not on any schedule with VDOT. Will roundabout be constructed in conjunction with this project? Otherwise, curb and gutter should be installed per County Code to complete this project. 4. Forest Lakes Self Storage project has not been approved and entrance location as shown has not been established. Construction of off -site hardscapes will be at the risk of the developer. 5. CG-12 across right in lane from Rte. 649 is a mid -block crossing and will need a warrant submitted for review. 6. Existing drainage along Rte. 649 into 15" RCP across right turn lane will need to be adequately addressed. VirginiaDOT.org WE KEEP VIRGINIA MOVING 7. Due to the level of items noted in this review, these comments may not be exhaustive. A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right of way. The owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency land Use Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process. If you have further questions please contact Max Greene at (434) 422-9894. Sincerely, John C. Wilson, P.E. Assistant Resident Engineer Area Land Use Charlottesville Residency
