Reviewer: Phil Custer
The second revision to the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan for the North Pointe Northern Entrance
Route 29 Improvements project, submitted on 26 January 2011, has been reviewed. All previous county
comments have been addressed.
However, we have not yet received approval from VDOT. This plan cannot be officially approved until
VDOT approval is given.
The ESC bond estimate needs to be updated due to the modifications made to the plan since the previous
submittal. Once VDOT approval is received, please provide a Bond Estimate Request Form to either me
or Glenn Brooks and indicate whether a road bond is also desired ($250 fee). I'll note that the road
improvements shown on this plan must be approved and bonded prior to the approval of the Northwest
Residential Area Site Plan (SDP- 2010 - 00021).
Please keep in mind that a grading permit for this project cannot be given until the stream crossing plan
and associated mitigation plan (WPO- 2009 - 00061) is approved and bonded.
After discussing this plan with the Director of Community Development, I would also like to note at this
time the concern of County staff regarding the potential limitations at this intersection in relation to the
proffered third lane. The current proposed plan appears to account for the width needed to provide this
lane on the eastern side of Northbound 29 south of the intersection with Northwest Passage. But, the
necessary taper for the reduction from three lanes to two north of this intersection before the bridge will be
difficult to implement. I recommend that the applicant work with VDOT to ensure that future
improvements that are known to be needed can be installed without much trouble when they become
required.
