approval of an initial and final site plan application.

during the site plan process. The developer could show the proposed improvements to amenity areas as part of
any site plans for blocks proposing attached dwelling units (see comment #34).

Reviewer: Howard Lagomarsino Fire Rescue See Recommendations
No ottiection to the suDamsion plat as long as me tollovnng can De compnea wim at me site plan pnase:
1) Keep in mind, all buildings require a fire appartus access road that provides access to all sides of the ground level, within
150 ft of a fire apparatus access road (on smaller footprint buidings this can be accomplished with a fire appartaus access
road on one side of the building and on larger footprint buildings may require a fire apparatus access roads on multiple sides.
2) Fire apparatus access roads must maintain a minimum width, unobstructed width based on the building height measured to
the eave or top of the parapit wall, which ever is taller (parking is considered an obstruction, so any on -street parking reducesd
below the required widths is prohibited). For builidngs 30 feet tall or less, the road width required is 20 feet unobstructed and
over 30 feet, the required width is 26 feet on at least one contguous side. For buildings over 30 feet tall, the additional
requirement of the road(s) being no closer than 15 feet and no further tahn 30 feet from the side of the building.
3) The west side of the hammer head at the north end of Sirrah Road creates a dead end over 150 feet long without a suitable
turn around that is necessary to satisfy requirements of fire apparatus access roads over 150 feet long that dead end.
4) This area is served by public water, so fire hydrants will be required in a number and spacing based on the needed fire fire
for the buildings.

Date Completed: Thursday, January 19, 2023 Department/DivisiordAgency: Review Status:
Reviewer: Dyon Vega RWSA Requested Changes
RWSA has reviewed the Old Dominion Village Preliminary Subdivision Plat dated 12/27/2022 by Meridian Planning Group,
LLC and has the following comments.
General Comments:
1. RWSA will require a sewer flow acceptance prior to final site plan approval for each phase/block. The request will
need to be sent to us by ACSA and will include the following:
Estimated average daily dry weather sewage flow (ADDWF)
Point of connection into RWSA system (which manhole)
Number of units/square footage
Estimated in-service date
2. The site plan will need to include RWSA water and sewer notes, and details on the water connection (it looks like
there is a stub out for your parcel).
Let me know if you have any questions.
