Kirsten,
I found Phil's review 1/26/2012 comments in CountyView under SDP2009 -00045 (also attached for reference). Per our
conversation today, you are waiting for Planning comments before resubmitting the plans as part of the Minor
Amendment (SDP2012- 00006). We will provide these comments.

Memorandum
To: Megan Yaniglos, Project Planner
From: Phil Custer, Engineering Review
Date: 26 January 2012
Subject: Old Trail Village, Block 2, Letter of Revision #2 (SDP- 2009 - 00045)
The second letter of revision for the Old Trail Village Block 2 site plan (SDP- 2009 - 00045), received 4
January 2012, has been reviewed by engineering staff. You and I will likely need to discuss these
comments before our memos are sent out. It seems the volume and degree of these changes may warrant
this plan being considered a minor amendment rather than a letter of revision.
1. The proffered dedication of the park area may complicate any changes to the site plan that are
now proposed on county property unless the dedication was done in such a way that granted
permission to the applicant to modify the site in any way they choose indefinitely. This
application may need to be brought to the attention of the county attorney's office to make sure
these changes and the subsequent construction these changes require are suitable without BOS or
County Executive approval. Disturbances include or will include: the addition of a grease trap
and two sewer laterals, the addition of a drainage pipe from beneath the memory garden, a
modification to the grading of the walking path and the area around it on the eastern side of the
building, the modification to the pipe system north of the building, and the construction of a
channel from pipe 19 to the stormwater facility.
2. There are other areas of the site that do not match the approved plan that have not been identified
by the applicant. The applicant should clarify whether these areas are being modified with this
plan or whether the mismatch was an accident and have it corrected on the next submittal. The
road plan for Golf Drive from Sta. 16 +00 to Sta. 19 +50, the drainage system downstream of pipe
19, and the entire lawn area are a few other sections of the site that do not match the approved
plan.
The section of Golf Drive that has been removed is not needed to provide frontage or access for
any lot currently proposed, but there will be a question as to when it will be required. If the
zoning and subdivisions agents allow a portion of this road to be removed from the site plan, they
should clarify when staff should require it be constructed. All road sheets of the original set must
be amended as part of this application. If the daylighting of pipe 19 was an intentional change, a
properly sized channel will need to be designed and constructed from the end section to the
biofilter forebay. The drainage calculation and profiles sheets will also need to be amended
accordingly. Engineering review has no comments on the design of the lawn.
3. The applicant will need to provide profiles and pipe computations for the modifications that were
made on the north and southern ends of this site plan. The profile and calculations sheets of the
original application will need to be modified.
4. The sidewalk to the memory garden is graded at a slope of 16% which is hardly convenient for
the citizens who will use this site. [18- 32.7.2.8]
