To: Megan Yaniglos, Current Development planning review
From: Amy Pflaum, Current Development engineering review
Date: 14 Jul 2008
Subject: Kia Auto Dealership, Major Site Plan Amendment (SDP200500135)
The Major Site Plan Amendment for Kia Auto has been reviewed. Current Development engineering can
not approve the amendment until the following comments have been addressed:
1. Please provide a date of the topographic information.
2. A critical slopes waiver is required for the disturbance of critical slopes on TMP's 78 -9, 78 -11E
and 78 -11Y.
3. Please show and label with book and page the easement surrounding the existing stormwater
management feature on TMP 78 -57B.
4. Easements or letters of intent are required for off -site work. It appears that a temporary grading
and construction easement will be necessary from TMP 78 -9 and a sidewalk easement on TMP 78-
11E in addition to the new easements shown on these plans. Please submit easement documents
for all new easements.
5. It may be necessary for TMP 78 -11E to grant utility easements to TMP 78 -9A for the storm sewer
and sanitary and water service lines that run across the parcel.
6. Existing and proposed utilities are difficult to see on the Grading and Landscape Plan, please show
these utilities on the Site Plan or a separate Utility Plan.
7. Please specify on the plan that proposed slopes steeper than 3:1 will be planted with low
maintenance ground cover, not grass.
8. Portions of the proposed travelway as well as service and display parking spaces exceed the
maximum allowable 5% grade.
9. Proposed service and customer parking spaces are show with a 16' length. This is acceptable only
in the case where a 2' "flat" section is available for overhang beyond the curb. Some of these
spaces are immediately adjacent to retaining walls or display parking spaces and a 2' "flat" area
does not exist. Please revise these spaces to the required 18' length.
10. A travelway that exceeds 100 feet in length without adjacent parking must comply with the private
street horizontal and vertical standards. Please submit plan and profile sheets of the travelway,
11. A section of the proposed travelway from Olympia Drive appears to be at an 8% grade within the
first 40' from the edge of Olympia Drive. Please revise to maintain a 4% grade within this first
40'.
12. The construction of the travelway will be required to extend to the property line N34 °09'57 "W.
13. Sidewalk is required to be constructed along the eastern side of the proposed travelway.
14. Traffic control signs are required at the intersection of the proposed travelway with Olympia

Drive.
15. Please label the widths of turn and taper lanes on Olympia Drive.
16. Dumpster pads are required to be 10'x10' with 8' in front for wheel bearing, please revise the
proposed dumpster pad to these dimensions.
17. The proposed the dumpster enclosure appears to be a low spot where runoff may collect and pond.
Please revise grading or show spot elevations that ensure ponding does not occur.
18. The large tree proposed in the parking island adjacent to the dumpster enclosure may interfere with
or be damaged during trash collection. A smaller tree may be more appropriate in this location.
19. Labels of storm sewer inlets are provided on the Site Plan, however the pipes connecting them are
only shown on the Grading and Landscape Plan. The Grading and Landscape Plan is already
cluttered and difficult to read. Please provide a Drainage Plan showing existing and proposed
storm sewer as well as drainage areas corresponding to calculations which also need to be
submitted.
20. Please simplify the Grading and Landscape Plan by removing easements which are to be vacated
as well as boundary line adjustment information. This Plan also appears to contain three different
sets of contours (1 existing and 2 proposed ?), please clarify the existing site conditions and the
proposed improvements.
21. Will the existing retaining wall immediately north of the proposed 1 -story addition remain? It is
difficult to tell from the proposed grading.
22. Gutter may be required in portions of the parking lot and travelway to convey stormwater runoff to
proposed inlets.
23. Guardrail is required where parking is adjacent to a wall or drop -off greater than 4'.
24. Olympia Drive improvements should be clarified as proposed improvements to be built by others.
Please clarify who will be constructing the storm sewer crossing of Olympia Drive.
25. A WPO application, erosion control plan and supporting documentation must be approved before
final site plan approval. As referenced in the Site Specific Notes, please show the location of the
Luxor Stormwater Management Facility SWM -1 and Olympia Drive SWM -3 on the WPO plans.
26. VDOT approval is required.
