Reviewer: Max Greene
The plans for the Restoration of Montalto received 14 October 2008 have received
Engineering review. The plans cannot be approved as submitted. Please refer to the
Albemarle County Design Standards Manual for the checklist, details and notes required
for approval. The following items will be adequately addressed prior to final approval:
A. SDP200800155:
1. The date and source of the topographic information: All topography should be at
least visually field verified by the designer within the last year. [18- 32.6.6, 14-
302, Policy for date]
2. All slopes 25% and over (critical slopes by County Zoning Ord.) are shaded [18-
32.6.6, 14 -302]
3. Proposed slopes steeper than 3:1 have low maintenance (not grass) ground cover
specified on the plan [Policy]
4. Safety railing shown for retaining walls over 4' high (building permit may be
more strict) [Policy]
5. Labels on all drainage structures provided (and should match the drainage
computations and profiles)
6. Details for any pipes or drainage structures through or under walls, showing
endwalls, casings, or structural measures to bridge pipes or structures will be
shown.
7. If there will be Pavement markings, please show them dimensioned and labeled.
8. If there will be Signs for traffic control, please show and label.
B. WPO200800099
1. Erosion and sediment control narrative does not appear complete /correct. Please
use the Albemarle County Design Manual Check list and the VESCH for required
items of approval. Acres of disturbance and all E &SC measures will be bonded
prior to issuance of the Grading Permit.
2. E &SC notes will be corrected to match the Design Manual.

3. Wind erosion will be a concern with this project. Please show the (DC) Dust
Control symbol on the plans and in the Legend.
4. Silt fence appears to be out of compliance with State law. However, the
limitations due to excessive slopes may allow the County Engineer to grant a
variance allowing the use of Wire - Supported Silt Fence in conjunction with a
stone weir outlet to relieve the hydraulic pressure of the impounded stormwater.
If proper perimeter controls cannot be shown in accordance with VESCL, then
please submit a variance request to the County Engineer for modifications to the
requirements.
5. Please show the stockpile locations on the plan and the E &SC measures to protect
them.
6. Blanket and Matting is strongly recommended on all slopes over 25 %.
7. No work will be allowed within 5 feet of proposed drip edge of the Tree
Protection per VESCH Std. & Spec. 3.38. If the Tree Protection is not a
requirement of the County or other Agency, it is recommended they be removed
from the plans and included in the contract documents with the contractor.
Once these comments have been addressed, please submit 2 copies of the revised plans,
calculations, and narratives to Current Development Engineering. Current Development
Engineering is available from 2:30 -4 PM on Thursdays to discuss these review comments.
Please contact Max Greene at 434 - 296 -5832 ext. 3283 or email mgreene @albemarle.org to
