Reviewer: Michael Koslow
The 2 °a submittal of the preliminary subdivision plat submitted 2 March 2012 has been reviewed.
1. This subdivision plat does not match preliminary layout shown with approved site plan SDP200900045.
Recommend comparing these plans; likely this will require a major amendment.
(Rev2) Comment remains.
2. Recommend private alley be converted into a private or public road to ensure adequate access for
emergency vehicles and convenience of the residents. This will also negate the need for utility easements
for all 8 proposed lots where utilities access lots from the street. (14 -403) (It is my understanding that
planning may have allowed the green space to be used to fulfill frontage requirements for lots in section
14 -403. However, this does not assure adequate access, which will still need to be provided, as reflected in
these comments.)
(Rev2) Comment remains.
3. Before final plat approval, engineering will need to approve detailed plans, computations, and necessary
supporting documents for all physical improvements including, but not limited to,
a. a road plan (not to be part of the site plan),
b. drainage plans and computations,
c. erosion and sediment control plan
d. stormwater management plans and computations (if this has been approved with prior plans,
please specify which plans, and demonstrate that adequate easements and agreements are in place)
(A.C. 14 -311).
(Rev2) Comment remains.
4. All physical improvements for access and utilities will need to be constructed and approved or bonded
prior to final plat approval. (14 -434 and 435)
(Rev2) Comment remains.
5. Recommend the following geometric revisions are included in required plans identified in Comment
#3 plan submittals:
a. Please verify parking lot grading is < 5% measured from any direction. It appears the
parking lot is proposed to be at a 6% slope.

b. Please verify VDOT entrance requirements have been met for the proposed entrance from
Golf Drive. A 50' separation is required between Golf Drive and the proposed parking lot
entrance per VDOT Road Design Manual Appendix F Figure 44A.
c. Please verify parking places are separated from entrances a minimum of I8' from back of
entrance radius. As proposed, it appears the 2 parking spaces proposed near the Golf Drive
entrance would conflict with this entrance. After separating the entrance from Golf Drive, it
appears the 4 parking spaces proposed near the Golf Drive entrance would conflict with this
entrance.
d. Inlet proposed in front of Lot 5 appears to be in conflict with frontage for this property.
Please regrade Townside Lane so this inlet is relocated to the end of the parking lot.
e. It appears that vehicles parking in the 4 parking spaces proposed near the Golf Drive
entrance would overhang across a property line as designed. This could be avoided by
adjusting the lot line for Lot 6 (although see also comment 5c regarding these parking spaces).
