RWSA has reviewed the River's Edge Final Site plan dated 1/12/2023 by Shimp Engineering and has the following
comments.
General Comments:
1. RWSA has plans for a future waterline crossing under the Rivanna River. There is a potential for making that
crossing on your parcel on the east side of the bridge. We are interested in seeking a 40' easement for the
placement of a new waterline. We do not know the exact location right now but wanted to let you know of our
need for a new waterline crossing and your general feedback on granting that easement.
Sheet C8:
1. The tap connection is currently located in a very challenging intersection on the waterline. Please move tap south
past the bend that goes into the road.
2. Callout at the tapping location a 12"x 8" tapping sleeve will be used to make the tap. Typically just a leader with
"12" x 8" tapping sleeve" is what normally is on the page.

stormwater regulations, stormwater discharge may be to level spreader or similar facility to open
space. If conditions do not permit such discharge, stormwater may be conveyed to the stream or
river in an adequate channel (shown in gray) with slope stabilization as applicable, where stream
bank disturbance occurs.' Conditions likely do not permit ELS; with WPO plan, ensure proposed
drainage /SWM meet VDOT BMP Clearinghouse Min. standards, design criteria, etc. A possible
alternative to ELS is detention pipe along site access /travel way, with gradual release of detained
flow via storm pipe down /across preserved slopes to stream, or river. Also, item 2.b., above.
(FSP) Addressed. Applicant: `The level spreader has been removed from the plans. Underground

TWBW elevations. (FSP) Addressed. As ollow-up: pis. see review item 2 Lb. below.
c. (C11) Provide suitable ditch runout for 6' travelway ditch at U.S. Rt. 29. Design must avoid and
limit potential erosion at U.S. Rt. 29, or other locations. Further, this point discharge must meet
state stormwater management (stormwater quantity) regulations. (FSP) Addressed. Applicant:
`Design provides sheet flow off route 29 to stream and ditches along new travelway.'
d. (C 12) Engineering prefers design abandon ditch to Rt. 29, and instead, more nearly approximate

facility easement width (Ref. ACDSM Easement diagram, p. 15), which requires, for a system this
size, at least 37' wide SWM easement (assume P bedding, 3' cover). In the future, when the
system is replaced, there will be no vehicular access to the entire lower parking area that serves
nearly half the Rivers Edge development. Also, should there be performance issues with a single
detention system, there is no backup to treat a portion of developed runoff If the proposed single
system is bypassed, it is possible the entire volume of impervious area runoff could route across
preserved steep slopes. ZMA Application plan sheet 19 presents a system approximately half the
length proposed. Propose alternate detention that maintains partial access to lower parking lot
should future circumstance warrant excavation of parking areas to repair or replace the UG
detention system. Consider alternative SWM design that locates multiple detention practices
nearer to residences and upper tier parking (for example, 4 — 85 LF systems would provide
identical detention capacity without compromising access to this degree, and would permit at least
partial water quantity treatment should incident affect one of several systems. As it is, incident
affecting a single system may prevent or compromise storm detention, entirely. Engineering
disapproves current proposed SWM design on access /maintenance basis, as well as scale of
departure from ZMA Application plan. With WPO plan, provide bypass of any SWM facility
while mitigating impact of bypass flow to critical resources, especially preserved steep slopes.
(FSP) Addressed. As follow-up: Ensure adequate UG detention system easement width —ref.
ACDSM p. 151. Single system is now divided into two separate systems. WPO plan review will
formally evaluate SWM design /easement width, etc. (WPO2022000281.
f Provide CG-6 or CG-7 along site access/travel way wherever storm runoff concentrates against
curb. If ZMA approval explicitly exempts site from curb -gutter requirements at Ch. 14 /18, please
direct Engineering to exemption. Otherwise, please see 18-32-7.2.2.a. / 14-412.B., provide curb
with gutter. [Note: sheets 20-22 of ZMA Application plan show inlet design along site access.]
(FSP) Addressed. Applicant: `The ZMA appears to show roadside ditches to DI-7 grate drop
inlets (not curb/gutter). Ditches are provided all along the roadsides and include a 2-ft shoulder.
A 2-ft shoulder was chosen to minimize disturbance of steep slopes. Further, the road entrance
has been relocated and as a result provides for much less steep slope disturbance. This comment
was discussed with John Anderson during a meeting on November 11, 2022 and was resolved to
be appropriate to provide ditches to grate drop inlets.' As follow-up: Pis. check label, east side site
access, Sta. 20+00f: CG2 as well as curb linework along access. If access design is to provide
shoulder -ditch design, pls. revise label /linework, but Engineering approves CG-2, as shown.
g. Provide PE -sealed sanitary effluent pump station design, incl. pump curves, pump type, wet well
design, alarms, remote sensing, etc. as provided with documents or during presentation to PC or
BOS in 2020, or in /with ZMA documents, etc. Recommend furnish evidence of coordination or
approval with or from DEQ, relative to sanitary pump station design. Albemarle will not review
or approve pump station design. ACSA is unlikely to review or approve pump station design. It
is incumbent upon developer (per approved ZMA) to obtain approvals needed to construct the
pump station, to ensure remote sensing system is operational, and that station will be maintained.
(FSP) Persists. Applicant: `PE -sealed pump station plans to be provided with future submittal.'
C15: Show proposed storm lines and utilities (sanitary sewer/water) in light line -type on this sheet, to
highlight potential conflicts. For example, proposed storm lines are proposed to cross at least 5 parking
islands proposed to be planted with large canopy species. Revise storm pipe locations to avoid landscape
conflicts. (FSP) Addressed. Ref. sheet C23.
Ensure steep slopes disturbance is consistent with sheet 23, 14 Apr 2020, ZMA Application, and does not
exceed 39,100 sq. ft. approved with ZMA. Show /label Area (ft) of Preserved Steep Slope impact with
WPO and FSP. (FSP) Addressed. Applicant: `The Preserved Slopes Disturbance has been updated to a
total of 27,254 A. See Sheet C6 of the WPO plan & Sheet C6 of the Final Site Plan.'
Ensure stream buffer disturbance is consistent with sheet 24, 14 Apr 2020, ZMA Application, and does not
exceed—23,000 sq. ft. approved with ZMA. Show /label Area (ft') of stream buffer impact with WPO and
ESP. (FSP) Addressed. Applicant: `Stream buffer disturbance is outlined on Sheet C26 of the Final Site
Plan.' Note: Per 17-604.A., virtually all stream buffer impact occurs within landward 50' of stream buffer,
is along site access, is minimized, with mitigation proposed. Mitigation plan will be formally evaluated

with WPO plan. Site access is an improvement designed to minimize impacts to stream buffer and is
infrastructure necessary to allow reasonable use of the lot.
10. C14: Public drainage easement (downstream of SWM) should not propose storm pipe beneath /through a
retaining wall. If unavoidable, provide concrete headwall /lintel details with PE -seal, similar to Versa-Lok
TM standard. Comment does not anticipate approval of public drainage easement with pipe penetration
beneath or through a retaining wall, a configuration to avoid. (FSP) Addressed. Applicant: `A grass slope
has been provided to replace the section of wall at the public drainage easement and pipes no longer run
below retaining walls.'
11. C 16: Include Site Access (travelway) section with stone /pavement depths, see River's Edge Street Section,
sheet 28 ofZMA Application plan. Provide site access pavement design based on full buildout ADT.
(FSP) Partially addressed. As ollow-up:
a. C 19: Provide stationing and sheet ref for road cross-section XS-1, XS-2, XS-3.
b. C20. C21: Provide Travelway section 1 and section 2 (details) site access /parking stationing.
12. Provide VDOT LD-229 (storm drain design computations) and LD-204 (stormwater inlet computations).
(FSP) Addressed. Ref. WPO202200028 Calc. packet.
13. Provide complete storm profiles with labels, rim /INV elevations, slope, DIA, compaction notes, etc. (FSP)
Partially addressed. As ollow-up:
a. C 17
i. At H1, provide label, description, design of OP, Str, Hl at discharge to Rivanna River.
ii. Revise caption Storm sewer profile Hl-H3 to read `... Hl-H4.'
iii. Ensure public drainage easement width downslope of Str. H2 is sufficient to
accommodate storm pipe at > 14-fit burial depth.
iv. Recommend increase pipe slope, F2A-F2 slightly, to allow slight variation during
construction; proposed 0.51% allows no construction error. 0.50% is minimum allowable
storm pipe slope.
v. Revise caption Storm sewer profile Jl-J3 to read `... Jl-J4.'
vi. Specify VDOT ES-1 and OP at Str. Jl.
vii. Eliminated storm inlet at F2B (Now MH-I) yields significant spread at this location
/parking lot. Engineering recommends DI at this location, to limit spread <13'. Ref.
WPO202200028 Calc. packet, p. 23, LD-204 table.
14. Provide road profile generally consistent with ZMA Application plan ZMA201800018, sheets 17, 18
(revised 14 April 2020) with smooth vertical curves, K-sag /crest values (sufficient sight distance), etc.
(FSP) Addressed. As follow-ua: Provide VDOT CD-1 /CD-2, Sta. 29+10(f) cut -fill transition. Ref. VDOT
Drainage Design Manual 9.4.3.91 p. 9-15.
New
15. Angle/s of pipes entering Aeaving F4, F5, F20 are acute. Angle must be >_ 90-degree unless 8" roof drains
enter 2' above str. floor elev. 2' has no calc. basis, but if vertical interval is 2'-3', inertia is assumed
partially offset by drop. Acute angles direct stormwater entering structure to change course, radically, may
deposit debris in locations that may compromise performance. All storm structures require inlet shaping.
No main storm pipe entering a structure may enter < 90-deg relative to pipe leaving. Roof leader lines with
vertical interval >2' are an exception. Even then Engineering recommends against angle < 90-degrees.
16. Provide bollards to protect pump station with underground wet well, even if wet well lid flush with grade.
This critical infrastructure must be protected against inadvertent traffic /wheel mount.
17. Revise sheet title to: `Stormwater Management Plan - Illustration only, Ref WPO202200028 for Approved
design.' SWM plans are not part of site plans. SWM design is presented and approved with a WPO plan.
18. C12,C13
a. Provide additional existing contour labels.
b. Provide additional proposed contour labels.
c. Label guardrail terminal treatments, use VDOT nomenclature.
d. C 12: Show Aabel 3" FM, similar to C13.
Engineering Review Comments
Page 5 of 6
e. Recommend note or label specify Min. cover for 3" FM, given proximity to guardrail, swale,
retaining wall, etc.
f Recommend show Aabel water line (WL) along private access serving the development.
19. C14
a. Show Aabel VDOT GR-2 at ends of parking lots, at tiered retaining walls.
b. Proposed grade at each face of structure must show 6" fall over 10' (positive drainage away from
structure). Revise proposed grade. Provide spot shots at structure wall. Provide note to specify
positive drainage requirement (see USBC /Uniform Statewide Building Code). Unit 8, as one
example, is problematic.
20. C8
a. Show Aabel outfall protection at III, as needed, similar to JI.
b. Dimension outfall riprap protection at 1, similar to It.
c. Specify SWMfacility access pipe DIA, L, material, and minimum cover, site access Sta. 15+80.
d. Provide public drainage easement, Dry Pond 1 outfall pipe to North Fork Rivanna River.
21. C8, C9, C10
a. Revise 100-yr floodplain to reflect any increase in horizontal extents of floodplain, ref. FEMA
Add yellow -shaded areas, but do not remove /decrease horizontal extents of 100-yr floodplain
(purple -shaded areas), which cannot be removed, except by revised FEMA FIRM.
b. Submit PE -sealed retaining wall design plans to Engineering for review prior to ESP approval:
i. C8: Wall A
ii. C 10: Walls B, C, D, O, P. Note: MAWR are coincident with building foundations or
bldg. walls and will be reviewed with building permit applications, not by Engineering.
c. C 10: All parking spaces fronting 5' sidewalks: Min. L= 18'. Also, each space must have bumper
block. Show Aabel typ. parking space length and show /label bumper blocks. Ref. ACDSM, p.

b. Stripe parking space immediately adjacent to this FH, since parking is impermissible immediately
adjacent to a FH.
c. Ensure placement of location acceptable to ACF&R, ensure no conflict with retaining wall; ensure
space available for thrust block required to be positioned behind FH, since FH appears coincident
with retaining wall.
23. C15
a. New 40' SWM Easement is labeled. Delineate separate public drainage easement from point just
before 70-LF 36" HDPE SWM detention pipe crosses 5'sidewalk, to 100-yr floodplain, N. Fork

Subject: Planning Application Review for SDP202300005 RIVERS EDGE - FINAL.
Attachments: SDP202300005 Plan -Rivers Edge Final-ACPR Markups_2023-02-10.pdf
The Review for the following application has been completed:
Application Number = SDP202300005
Reviewer = Tim Padalino (Parks & Recreation)
Review Status = Requested Changes
Completed Date = 02/10/2023
ACPR acknowledges the proposed new public access easement in the northwest corner of the
subject property — thank you for incorporating this easement to enable the County to construct this
planned bikelped connection in the future. However, the location and alignment of the "proposed
10' public access easement" appears to be unsuitable, based on existing topography. ACPR
recommends revising the proposed easement in the following ways:
a. Providing a more suitable and more sustainable alignment that is responsive to the
significant topography at that location. ACPR staff remain available to perform a site visit
with owner/developer/applicant to evaluate potential alternatives that would enable a more
suitable alignment for trail construction, trail maintenance, and trail use; and
b. Enlarging (widening) this proposed public access easement from a specified width (10') to
variable width. 10' wide easements do not provide Albemarle County with the necessary
amount of space to construct and maintain greenway trails in a suitable, sustainable
manner.
c. Ensuring proposed new public access easement extends northwest to US-29 ROW
(connecting to a location that will enable future trail connection under the US-29 bridge to
existing greenway easements on the UVA North Fork Discovery Center property I TMP #32-
6R).
2. ACPR acknowledges the proposed new public access easement from the proposed new 20' private
access road (Rivers Edge Road) to the subject property's southern property boundary with TMP
#32.22K1. However, ACPR cannot determine if the location of this proposed easement represents a
suitable or feasible location for a bridge across Flat Branch. In order to ensure the feasibility of a
future bikelped bridge across Flat Branch, ACPR recommends revising this proposed easement in
the following ways:
a. Revise the easement format from a specified width (20' 110') to variable width. 10' is not
sufficient size/width for bikelped bridge construction, operation, or maintenance.
b. In addition, ACPR cannot positively determine that a bikelped bridge can be constructed
and maintained at the specific proposed location of the proposed easement. To best ensure
Albemarle County's ability to construct a bikelped bridge across Flat Branch, ACPR
recommends providing a variable width easement along a wider/longer section of Flat
Branch (on both sides). ACPR staff remain available to perform a site visit with
ownerldeveloperlapplicant to evaluate potential alternatives that would enable a more
feasible bikelped bridge project in the future, and to determine what location and length of
variable width easement would best enable a successful, sustainable future project.
3. Revise all proposed trail -related easement types from "public access easement" to "greenway
easement" to be consistent with existing County easements along the North Fork Rivanna River
and to reflect the planned purposes of these connections.
4. Revise the extent/location of the "paved path cross section X-4" specification (detail #5 on Sheet
C19) further east along the proposed 20' public access easement, to the place where the proposed
new public access easement turns south away from the existing driveway (labeled as "existing
pavement to remain" on Sheet C4). This will ensure a consistent trail surface material/specification
for the planned greenway trail connection on this subject property (as shown on the "Greenway
Plan for the Development Area" in the Comprehensive Plan and on the "Parks & Green Systems
Plan North" in the Places29 Master Plan).
5. ACPR acknowledges the "paved path cross section X-4" (detail #5) on Sheet C19 showing the
specifications for this proposed improvement. Thank you for incorporating that detail. However, to
ensure consistency between this proposed improvement on this subject property and the planned
greenway trail facility shown on the "Greenway Plan for the Development Area" in the
Comprehensive Plan and on the "Parks & Green Systems Plan North" in the Places29 Master Plan,
please note the following:
a. Ensure these "paved path" specifications are compliant with the applicable trail standard in
the Albemarle County Design Standards Manual, including the amountldepth of sub -base
materials and the cross -slopes.
b. ACPR staff will need to inspect this paved path prior to acceptance of the easement, in
addition to any/all inspections that CDD performs as part of the permitting, inspections, and
certificate of occupancy process.
