The preliminary plat for Glenmore Phase 11, Section S -5, received on March 24, 2008, has been reviewed.
The engineering review for current development recommends denial of the preliminary plat until the
following conditions are addressed with the preliminary subdivision plat:
1. Please match the title of the Subdivision Plat on the title sheet ( GLENMORE PHASE 2, SECTION S-
5) to the title in the title block of the border on each sheet ( GLENMORE SECTION S -5) [14- 302A1]
2. Please label the other phases of Glenmore on the Vicinity Map on Sheet 1. [14- 302A2]
3. On the Sheet 1, Note 2.a under DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THE GLENMORE PRD
states that "lots shall only front on and have direct access onto Piper Way and Paddington Drive ". No
such streets are labeled in this plat. Please correctly label the subdivision streets or correct the note.
4. On the Sheet 1, Note 3 under DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR THE GLENMORE PRD states
that "Open space linkages shall be at least thirty (30) feet wide." Is the OPEN SPACE labeled
between lots 29 and 30, as well as along the backs of lots 33 -42 considered a "linkage "? If so, should
it match this standard?
5. The 20' SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT RESERVED FOR FUTURE EXTENSION shown
beyond the back of lots 10 -14 on Sheet 6 may need to be relocated farther away from the
INTERMITTENT STREAM. Should an analysis of this stream be done in the future which
determines the stream is perennial, a 100' buffer will be placed on it and disturbance for future
development will not be allowed per the County's Water Protection Ordinance. It appears that a
reasonable alternative for this proposed alignment would be to shift the easement farther up the hill.
6. Regarding the disturbance of the Carroll Creek stream buffer at the bottom of Sheet 5, it appears the
proposed sanitary sewer could reasonably be realigned to avoid this disturbance. From the outfall of
proposed SS -MH -2, the sewer line could run southwesterly into the existing 20' A.C.S.A. Easement
(D.B. 2422 p. 469 -485) just outside of the buffer, and then continue southeasterly within the existing
easement and buffer to meet the existing sewer. This new alignment would add one manhole to the
current configuration. The stream buffer has already been disturbed for the existing easement, it seems
unnecessary to disturb it again in such close proximity.

7. A stub -out is shown on proposed SS -MH -1, is a future connection expected in this area?
8. Please include a date of survey with the SOURCE OF TOPO information on Sheet 1. [14- 302Al2]
9. The centerline of the Alley intersection with Femdown Lane is only forty (40) feet away from the
centerline of the intersection of Road `A' with Femdown Lane. VDOT standard intersection spacing
for a shoulder and ditch section street with a 20 mph design speed is 200 feet. Traffic will be minimal
on these roads with this phase of Glenmore, however, a future connection is being provided at the end
of Femdown Lane. Exploring a safer alignment for these intersections is recommended.
10. Regarding the Pavement Design Worksheet submitted for Ferndown Lane: The design ADT used is
350, this is calculated using the lots in the Glenmore Phase 2, Section S -5 development, but it does not
account for trips generated when Femdown is extended into future development as stated. If the traffic
count increases in the future, a greater pavement thickness may be required at that time.
11. Drainage easements from neighboring property owners must be granted prior to approval of the
subdivision plat. Please show and label these easements on the plat. [14- 302A5]
12. Code 17 -315 -A of the Water Protection Ordinance provides that "Best management practices shall be
designed and sited to capture runoff from the entire land development project area and, in particular,
areas of impervious cover within the land development, to the maximum extent practicable".
Stormwater runoff from portions of Femdown Lane and Road `A' and the dwellings and site
improvements for Lots 11 - 19 will not be captured by a proposed stormwater management facility.
Additional stormwater measures could be proposed behind Lot 14 to address water quantity and
quality.
