A. Special Use Permit (SP201300006)
1. There are plans for the county to adopt the existing pond as a regional SWM facility. However,
since this is a pending effort and no date has been established by the county since 2007, I
recommend designing a new SWM facility within the property (same location). The existing state
of this pond already encroaches on the Turtle Creek Condominium's property. Previous designers
proposing to use this existing pond had great difficulty requesting and obtaining an easement
required due to ponding beyond the property line.
2. The site is proposed to drain into an existing 48" RCP pipe owned and maintained by VDOT.
From there it drains through the townhouse site, then Stonefield shopping center, under Rt. 29 and
finally into the city. Adequate channels are required to be demonstrated. The contributing drainage
area, from your site, to a point of discharge is one percent or less for the total watershed area.
Please provide this analysis. Please be aware that there have been great concerns at the discharge
from Stonfield, and this site contributes to that flow directly.
3. The existing 48" RCP is also in poor condition. A pipe has been inserted as a solution. The new
pipe diameter is not known and will need to be addressed in calcs. I recommend replacing this pipe
to mitigate future issues with this pipe.
4. Guardrails are required for the retaining wall. There is a 4' drop at SW corner of the retaining
wall with a proposed sidewalk.
5. Please explain how the parking lot running north -south will be treated. Will filterra be used?
6. Please provide CG -6 at the parking lot running north -south for drainage to 13I -313.
7. The access road should wrap around the basin to the edge of the property line. Please ensure that
this access road is above the 100 year water mark and does not exceed a 16% grade.
8. The entrance should not exceed 4% for a distance of 40'. Section 18- 4.12.17.
9. Please revise the 515 contour near the CG -12 at main entrance to a 2:1 slope at minimum.
Sincerely,
Michelle Roberge
