Subject: SDP200900076, Old Trail Phase 9, Blocks 4,11,13,14 - Preliminary Site Plan
The preliminary site plan for Old Trail Phase 9, submitted on September 14, 2009, has been reviewed.
Current Development Engineering can recommend approval once the following comments have been
addressed:
General Site Plan Comments
1. The boundaries of the Preliminary Plat as shown on Sheet 2 do not match the approved Final Plat
for Old Trail Village Center Blocks 4, 11, 13, 14 (SUB200900103). Please clarify the boundaries
of this project.
2. On the General Notes on Sheet 1, please specify which roads or road portions will be built with the
different phases of this project.
3. Please revise the note on Sheet 1 to state that this property is in the Lickinghole Creek Watershed
[18- 32.5.6.f].
4. Street cross sections show a width of 7 -feet provided for on- street parking. The Street
Specifications table provided on the same sheet shows that the Code of Development requires 8-
foot parking lanes.
Right -of -way widths shown for streets on the plans and in the cross sections do not meet the
requirements of the Street Specifications table from the Code of Development.
6. The Code of Development requires an 8 -foot sidewalk along Glen Valley Drive between Old Trail
Drive and Claremont Lane.
7. Road plans for Claremont Lane between Golf Drive and Upland Drive and Upland Drive between
Old Trail Drive and Claremont Lane were approved on April 17, 2009 (Phase 2 -Block 4 Road
Plans WP0200800106). Several discrepancies exist between the approved plans and the Phase 9
Site Plan including right -of -way widths, cross - sections, entrance locations, and stormsewer layout.
These approved plans will need to be amended.
Road plans for portions of Glen Valley Drive and Claremont Lane were previously submitted with
the Final Site Plan for Old Trail Village Blocks 15 & 31 (SDP200800072). Street cross sections
and layouts do not correspond between the plans. Previously submitted road plans should be
revised or withdrawn.
9. The alley intersection of Block 13 to Golf Drive should align with the travelway exiting Block 2.
10. The Block 4 and Block 13 entrances onto Claremont Lane should align for a proper intersection.
11. Please show sight distance triangles at the intersections of Upland Drive and Glenn Valley Drive
with Old Trail Drive. [18- 4.12.17.b]
12. Please show sight distance triangles at the intersection of Golf Drive with Old Trail Drive to
ensure that the building proposed in Lot 30, Block 4 is not encroaching. [18- 4.12.17.b]
13. Please show the sight distance triangles at the intersection of the two private roads within Block
14. [ 18- 4.12.17.b]
14. A portion of the buildings in Lot 14 -Block 4, Lot 6 -Block 13, Lot 6 -Block 14, and Lot 13 -Block
14 appear to be within the sight distance triangles. [18- 4.12.17.b]
15. Vehicles exiting the garages on Lots 14 -19 of Block 4 pose a circulation hazard. Sight lines for a
reversing vehicle will be limited until the vehicle is sufficiently clear of the garage, causing the
vehicle to be well within the travelway prior to a clear line of sight being established. All traffic
entering and exiting Block 4 will pass by Lots 14 -16, this is an unsafe situation. The same
problem with inadequate driveway lengths appears throughout Blocks 13 and 14. [18- 32.7.2]
16. The proposed building in Lot 29, Block 4 is within the proposed sidewalk and landscape easement
to be dedicated to VDOT.
17. Bumper blocks are required in parking spaces that abut sidewalk, unless the sidewalk has a
minimum width of 6 -feet. [18- 4.12.16.e]
18. Bumper blocks are required within the tandem parking spaces proposed in 14. [18- 4.12.16.e]
19. The proposed contour labels are illegible, slopes of parking lots and streets can not be reviewed.
[18- 32.5.6.d]
20. The proposed development within the blocks is different than what was shown in the Pos-
Development Drainage Analysis provided with Old Trail Village Blocks 15 & 31
(WP0200800046). Is the proposed bio- filter taking into account the higher density development?
21. Are the impervious area calculations on Sheet 4 accounting for all the impervious area shown on
this sheet, or just the impervious areas from Blocks 4, 11, 13, and 14?
22. Without the completion of Blocks 2, 15, 16, 17, and 18, this proposed development lacks the
infrastructure necessary for storm sewer outfall. Adequate channels would need to be designed
from the points of release to the appropriate stormwater facilities.
Final Site Plan comments (for information purposes only)
23. Final Site Plan can not be approved until the stormsewer outfall for Block 4 shown through
Claremont Lane to the Ballard Field Pond or an alternative adequate outfall has been constructed.
24. Final Site Plan can not be approved until the stormsewer outfall for Blocks 11 and 14 shown
through future Blocks 15, 17, and 18 or an alternative adequate outfall has been constructed.
25. Final Site Plan can not be approved until the stormsewer outfall for Block 13 through future Block
16 or an alternative adequate outfall has been constructed.
26. Final Site Plan can not be approved until the Bio- Filter proposed to the west of future Block 16, or
an alternative stormwater facility have been designed and approved.
27. Final Site Plan can not be approved until all roads depicted on this site plan have been designed
and approved. Road plans should be submitted with an accompanying plat of the required public
right -of -way.
