The Dickerson Road Manufactured Home Park Special Exception has been reviewed by Engineering. We
offer the following comments and questions:
Critical Slopes Waiver Request
1. Will disturbance of these slopes help the site to be balanced?
2. Please provide a conceptual grading plan.
3. Some of the critical slopes are adjacent to the road and the roadside drainage ditch. How will you
install erosion control facilities and prevent sediment from entering the road and the roadside
ditch? Per VESCH 3.05, silt fence is to be installed at least 5 feet to 7 feet beyond the base of
disturbed slopes with grades greater than 7%.
