Subject: Old Trail Village Center — Block 2, Preliminary Site Plan (SDP- 2008 - 00174)
The preliminary site plan for Old Trail village Center — Block 2 has been reviewed. The engineering
review for current development can recommend approval once the following items have been addressed.
1. [18- 32.5.61] Please indicate direction of flow in all proposed pipes and watercourses with
arrows.
2. [18- 32.5.6.1] Please indicate the location of all existing and proposed utility and utility
easements.
3. [ 18- 32.5.6.q] Please provide estimated traffic generation figures for the site based upon
current Virginia Department of Transportation rates.
4. [18- 4.12.16c.3] The minimum aisle width of a perpendicular parking area with 9x8 parking
spaces is 24'. In addition, the minimum requirement for parallel parking spaces is 9x20.
A 14' aisle width would suffice if the parking space were angled at 45 degrees.
5. Please provide better turn- around options for both the dumpster and loading areas.
6. Per VDOT intersection spacing standards, the underground parking garage and parking lot
entrance on the south side of the property are too close.
7. Please check the radius for the curve on Brookley Drive to check that it meets VDOT
standards.
8. Please provide a schematic diagram for the underground parking garage.
9. Please describe provisions for stormwater detention.
The following final site plan comments have been provided as a courtesy to the applicant and will not need
to be addressed to receive preliminary approval.
1. 50% Removal Rate may or may not be enough necessary for this development. This will be
reviewed during the final site plan process.
Engineering has no objection with the critical slopes waiver. However, critical slopes on the
area for the proposed biofilter may need stabilization. This will be reviewed during the final
site plan process.
