A. General Review Comments

request which will be considered by the Planning Commission.
9. Critical Slopes, Erosion and Sediment Control and Stormwater Mane ement.

2008 -00086 had included Sta. 10 +00 to Sta. 16 +00 of Meeting Street in that project's SWM plan.)
3. The ESC plan for Great Escapes Movie Theater must include the construction of Phase III of
Meeting Street within its limits of disturbance and provided adequate protection as necessary.
(WPO- 2008 -00086 had not included any part of Meeting Street within its limits of disturbance.)
The grading of the road plan must match the grading shown for the roadway within the ESC plan.
4. A subdivision plat for the ROW dedication should be recorded no later than when the request for a
Certificate of Occupancy for any building on the movie theater site plan is submitted to the Zoning
Department. Prior to recordation, the applicant must request a road bond be computed by
completing the request form and submitting it with the $250 fee to the county.
5. Please note that Proffer 1 of ZMA- 2005 -00015 requires the construction and acceptance of
Meeting Street from Towncenter Drive to the southern property boundary within 2 years of
approval of the first site plan. The first site plan for this area was approved on December 31S`
2008. This proffer is enforced by the Zoning Department. It is up to the Zoning Administer when
the construction of this road to the proffer will be required.
6. The road plan cannot be approved until the two public transit stops for Hollymead Area A2 have
been approved by the Director of Planning as required by Proffer 3 of ZMA- 2007 -00001
(Hollymead A2). If the public transit stop is to be the located on this section of road, the design of
the stop will need to be included in the road plan.

Hollymead Town Center Area A -2. The location of the public transit stops shall be identified on
the approved General Development Plan and retained in the County files. The locations shall be

approval by VDOT and the County Engineer, and shall include ao less than 200 squaie feet of
paved surface and two benches..
7. Please remove all references to the 2010 overlot grading area plans. These plans have not been
approved.
8. The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority has stated its desire to use a portion of Meeting Street as
a corridor for a transmission line to serve the area. County engineering encourages the applicant to
work with RWSA and VDOT to determine where the line is to be installed in the future and keep
the Community Development Department informed.
B. Road Plan Review Comments
1. VDOT approval is required. Once VDOT approval is received, please forward the letter to county
engineering.
2. The road cross - section in the current plan does not match what was shown on the originally
approved rezoning plan. The applicant must request a variation to the Planning Department for a
change to this road section. (Providing left turn lanes appears to be easier with the cross - section
possessing the loft median.)
3. A left hand turn lane from Northbound Meeting Street into the Great Escapes site will likely be
needed. Please provide a turn lane warrant for this movement.
4. Please provide a crosswalk for the greenway trail.
5. VDOT generally requires lft of additional ROW from the edge of VDOT- maintained features.
6. The lane configuration southbound from the roundabout is awkward. The through movement
needs to transition to the right lane abruptly as currently designed.
7. What is the design speed for the roadway?
