Subject:
SDP200900062, Free Bridge Office - Preliminary
The preliminary site plan for Free Bridge Office, received on August 11, 2009, has been reviewed. The
engineering review for current development can recommend approval once the following items are
adequately addressed:
A. Preliminary Site Plan Comments:
1. Please provide removal rates for the pre - development and post - development drainage areas.
2. Please provide for interparcel connectivity to the neighboring parcels as shown on the approved
Whitehouse Commercial Preliminary Site Plan (SDP20080020) and the Kia Site Plan Major
Amendment (SDP200500135).
Please designate which critical slopes (as shown on the Existing Conditions Plan) are man -made,
and designate the approved plan which created them - Olympia Drive, Kia, or Free Bridge Auto
(application numbers and approval dates can be researched at the Community Development Office
or on -line at Countyview Web). Designate which critical slopes, if any, are natural. The
disturbance of critical slopes which were not created with an approved plan will require a waiver
from the Planning Commission.
4. To provide safe circulation, it is recommended that the entrance to the lower parking lot be moved
farther away from Olympia Drive. A minimum tangent of 50 -feet between the two entrances is
suggested.
5. Based on the 2.5:1 slope and the greater than 10 -foot drop -off, it appears that guardrail is
necessary in front of the 5 proposed parking spaces in the Free Bridge Auto lot. [DM]
6. The difference in grade created between the proposed travelway and the Whitehouse Commercial
site could require a guardrail on the Whitehouse site. [DM]
7. The difference in grade created between the proposed parking lot and the existing Free Bridge
Auto site could require a guardrail along the existing Auto parking. [DM]
B. Final Site Plan Comments (For information purposes only):
Vehicle access aisles, that are not adjacent to parking spaces, shall not exceed a grade of 10 %.
[18- 4.12.17a]
9. Dumpster pad cannot have drainage running beneath it. The site must be designed so that
stormwater does not run through, and drains away.
10. VDOT approval must be obtained for plans that affect right -of -way prior to final site plan
approval. [DSM902B]
11. A temporary grading and construction easement will be necessary from the Whitehouse
Commercial parcel prior to approval of the Final Site Plan. Please provide a letter of intent to
grant the easement from the owner of this parcel.
12. The boundary line adjustment and easement plats necessary to accommodate this development
must be recorded prior to approval of a Final Site Plan.
13. The final site plan is subject to County Code Chapter 17 Water Protection Ordinance. Approval of
a Water Protection Ordinance Application including Erosion and Sediment Control Plans per
Article II will be required. To ensure that Stormwater Management and Water Quality was
accounted for with the design of the Luxor Pond, please submit the allowable impervious area (or
C- value) of the site, based on the Luxor Pond plans, and the actual proposed impervious area.
