From: Phil Custer, Current Development engineering review
Date: 10 August 2011
Subject: Old Trail Village Block 23 Final Plat (SUB- 2011 - 00063)
Engineering review can recommend approval to the easement plat after the following comments have been
addressed:
1. It is my understanding that this plat is a final before preliminary plat and must pay fees for both the
final and preliminary subdivision plat applications per 14- 203.B.3.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been addressed.
2. This plat cannot be signed until the Subdivision (Road, Water, and Sewer) and the Erosion and
sediment control bonds are posted and the Pro -rata share for the Lickinghole basin is paid. At this
time, the ESC and Road plans have not been approved. The Lickinghole basin fee will be
computed for the subdivision once the road plans are approved. I recommend that the applicant
request deferral of this application until the ESC and Road plans are approved.
(Rev. 1) Comment remains unchanged.
3. If public drainage easements are needed outside of the ROW, a deed of dedication and easement
will need to be recorded with the plat. The deed of easement will need to be approved by the
County Attorney's office. It appears that public drainage easements will be needed on the storm
sewer system from Golf Drive to the Stormwater Facility.
(Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed. Public drainage easements around lots 27, 28, and
32 need to be called out with the note "Hereby Dedicated to Public Use." The pipe system
downstream of Golf Drive also needs the public drainage easement delineation and callout
written in the previous sentence. The plat must show the entirety of this drainage system.
4. The drainage easement from Pennywell Lane to Golf Drive must be called out as private.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been addressed.
5. The drainage system around lots 24 and 17 need a private easement on them for maintenance.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been addressed.
6. Do the temporary turnarounds recorded with the Block 13A need to be vacated with this plat?
(Rev. 1) Comment has been addressed.
7. The turnaround at the end of Pennywell Drive will need to be platted. The dimensions of this
turnaround will be reviewed with the road plan. It looks to be too small.
(Rev. 1) The turnaround must be labeled as part of Pennywell Drive. The dimensions of the
turnaround will be checked after road plan approval.
8. A utility easement is shown through lots 18, 24, and 14 -17. Does this easement need to be vacated
in order for these lots to be buildable?
(Rev. I) The utility easement does not appear to be vacated.
9. Has the ROW for Golf Drive on 55E -1 -F been dedicated to the public? The plat is not clear.
(Rev. 1) The latest submittal of the plat has clarified the ROW boundary in this area. Most of
the 0.032acres north of lots 13 and 32 must be included in the Golf Drive ROW and called out
as being "Hereby Dedicated to Public Use ". Lll should be extended to C20. The area to the
west may be added to 055E -1 -A1. The area to the east will be dedicated to public use with this
plat with the rest of the roadway. It will be up to the Zoning Administrator or Subdivision
Current Development

Agent as to when the -300ft of Golf Drive must be constructed and dedicated to public use.
10. Per Proffer 7, before this plat can be approved, an overlot grading plan will need to be reviewed
and approved by engineering. Because grading appears on the road plans, the overlot grading
review will coincide with review of the road plans. After a brief, incomplete review of the grading
plan (Sheet S -1), I have the following comments:
a. The overlot grading plan will need to show all building footprints, porches, walkways, etc.
in order to be reviewed. (Proffer 7A) Please note that no slope steeper than 10% shall
exist around building entrances unless stairways are provided. (Proffer 71)
b. Driveways must be no steeper than 8 %. It looks as though a few lots, most notably lot 17,
do not meet this standard. Please provide two spot elevations at both ends of the driveway
where the driveway pavement meets the alley. (Proffer 7A and Proffer 711)
c. Water must drainage away from all buildings. Surface drainage may flow across up to
three lots before being collected into a storm sewer or directed to a drainage way outside
of the lots.
(Rev.]) An overlot grading plan has not yet been approved. The road plan submittal on the 8"'
of July did not include an adequate overlot grading plan.
11. A complete review of the drainage easements and ROW widths and dimensions will not be
reviewed until the road plan is approved. Additional comments may be necessary.
(Rev. 1) Comment remains unchanged. Additional comments may be necessary. VDOT
appears to have made comments that would require adjustments to ROW and perhaps drainage
easements.
12. (Rev. 1) Please remove parcels A and B. This is to be land dedicated to the public. For this
ROW, please label it as "Hereby Dedicated to Public Use ". This requirement was mentioned in
the site review committee meeting as well as in a followup email to the applicant on the 12'h of
July.
13. (Rev. 1) The document in DB 3941 PG 688 is only a private maintenance agreement for
Pennywell Lane and Pennywell Court. Please update the plat to callout the document that
dedicated Upland Drive and Claremont Lane.
