Subject: SDP200800154, Re- Store'n Station - Preliminary
The preliminary site plan for Re- Store'n Station, resubmitted on October 19, 2009, has been reviewed. The
engineering review for current development can recommend approval once the following items are
adequately addressed:
Please label more clearly the existing right -of -way and edge of asphalt of Route 250 on Existing
Conditions and Road Improvements sheets.
REV #1: Comment has been addressed.
2. Please add sight distance triangles and easements to the entrance onto Route 250. [DM]
REV #1: Comment has been addressed.
The Road Improvements Plan states that the existing 15" and 18" pipes in the Route 250 right -of-
way will be extended, please show the proposed extension on the Site Plan. Please also add
direction of flow to these pipes. "Invert In = 701.91" is lower than "Invert Out = 702.14 ".
REV #l: Please show the existing culverts under and adjacent to Route 250 and the proposed
changes to these culverts on the Site Plan (Sheet 5), the Grading Plan (Sheet 6), and the Utility
Plan (Sheet 7). Please add the new invert elevation to the extension of the 18" concrete pipe.
REV #2: Comment has been addressed. Please add the 4 notes written in the response letter to
the Route 250 Entrance Plan in the Final Site Plan.
4. The Grading Plan should show proposed grading associated with the new lanes on Route 250.
There appears to be a low spot where the 15" and 18" pipe meet, will this be filled in?
REV #l: Proposed grading shows that the existing low spot will be moved as the pipe is being
extended, however, the pipes do not show up on the Grading Plan, see Comment #3.
REV #2: Comment has been addressed.
5. Proposed grades between the parking lot and the existing 15' roadway appear steeper than 2:1,
please revise the grading or use a retaining wall to maintain slopes no greater than 2:1. [DM]
REV #1: Comment has been addressed. Proposed grading has been revised to provide a 2:1
slope in this area.
6. Guardrail is required along the edge of the parking lot in all locations where the elevation of the
parking lot is 7 feet higher than the toe of the tie -in slope. [DM]
REV #1: This comment will be addressed with the final site plan.
An island is necessary at the edge of the 8 proposed parking spaces toward the back of the site.
[DM]
REV# 1: Comment has been addressed.
8. The proposed dumpster pad must extend 8 feet beyond the front of the dumpster. [ 18- 4.12.9]
REV #1: Two proposed dumpster enclosures are shown at 25x30 , meeting the requirement.
However, a 10'x]5' dumpster enclosure is shown at the rear of the building. If this dumpster is
to be serviced by standard garbage trucks, the pad must meet the requirements of the
ordinance.
REV #2: Comment has been addressed.
9. The proposed loading space should be adjacent to the structure. [18- 4.12 -13]
Comment has been addressed.
10. The proposed Atlantis D- Raintank does not have a water quality removal rate, please specify the
type of water quality measures that will be provided for this site. [18- 32.5.6.k]
REV #1: Three Filterra units are proposed, capturing only the front portion of the site. It is
unclear what water quality features will treat the rear of the parking lot and the building.
REV #2: Comment has been addressed. Eleven Filterra units are now shown on the plan.
11. The proposed level spreader may not satisfy the requirements of VESCH MS -19. The exit slope
may not have a grade greater than 10 %. An adequate channel and easement may be necessary
through neighboring properties.
REV #1: Comment still appropriate. It appears that meeting the requirements of MS -19 will be
a challenge for this site. Sizing a detention facility to over - detain stormflows maybe necessary.
REV #2: There does not appear to be a receiving channel downstream of the detention facility.
It can be expected that the property downstream of the proposed level spreader will be subject to
an increase in the volume of discharge it receives even if peak rates are held to existing
conditions and a level spreader is installed. The applicant can obtain easements through
downstream properties to the point where the project meets the 1% rule as outlined DCR for
potential channel improvements. An adequacy evaluation will need to be performed during the
WPO and Final Site Plan process. Any improvements required in the 20 foot undisturbed
buffer will require a waiver from the Planning Commission. Another option is to increase the
on -site detention to reduce discharge levels below the existing conditions per the following from
the AC Design Standards Manual.
In cases where there is the likelihood of erosion, such as a swale, or where channels are not
adequate for existing conditions, the method of state code 10.1 -561 shall be acceptable as an on-
site solution. It is summarized in these three requirements; (A level spreader may be necessary
where no channel exists.)
1. Detain the WQV (1" runoff) and release over 48 hours.
2. Detain the 1 year 24 -hour storm and release over 24 hours.
3. Detain and reduce the peak flow for a 1.5, 2 and 10 year 24 -hour storm, to the following level;
peak flow <= Qf (VfNpost), where Qf is flow from the site in a well forested condition (C = 0.25,
or CN = 51), and Vf is volume from the site in a well forested condition.
12. The grading of the pad for a future building creates a channel along the eastern side of the site.
This will need to be properly stabilized to prevent erosion. This will be addressed with the final
site plan.
13. Details on Sheet 7 show the D- Raintank under a parking lot, noting elevations. However, the
Raintank is not shown in the plan view. [18- 32.5.611
REV #2: Raintanks and Filterra unites are now shown on the Utility Plan. It is recommended
that these features are shown on the Site Plan sheet of the Final Site Plans so that Zoning
inspectors are aware of their locations.
14. If stormwater from Route 250 enters the proposed stormsewer system, public drainage easements
will be necessary to encompass the entire pipe system to its outlet. Please show easements on the
Site Plan. Structures, such as dumpster enclosures, are not allowed within public drainage
easements. [18- 32.5.6.1]
REV #2: The property owner will own and maintain all stormsewer pipes and facilities within
the parcel, other than the length of pipe to the first structure downstream of the public right -of-
way as shown in easement.
15. NEW COMMENT: At the Site Review Committee Meeting on November 23, 2009, residents of
Freetown Lane raised concerns regarding the proximity of the Restor'n Station and the Freetown
Lane entrances onto Route 250. Please work with VDOT and these residents to explore other
options, such as moving the Restor'n Station entrance farther west, combining Freetown Lane &
Restor'n Station to one entrance, extending the proposed right -turn lane to and providing a taper
east of Freetown Lane, providing inter - parcel connection between Restor'n Station and Freetown
Lane.
16. NEW COMMENT: The owner of neighboring parcel 55B -3 has recently changed. Please be sure
to update this information on the final site plan. [18- 32.5.6.a]
