Reviewer: Michelle Roberge
I have completed the engineering review for SDP2013 -22 & WP02013 -26. Please see below for the
following comments.
A. Site Development Plan (SDP201300022)
1) It appears there are conrete barriers blocking the 30' access road, west of site. Please show on
existing conditions plan and state when it will be removed.
2) The entrance shall have a radius of 45 for a commercial /retail without separate truck access per
Appendix F of Virginia Department of Transportation Road Design Manual. Also, it appears
from geneneral notes on sheet 1 that bldg is not sprinkled. Fire Rescue's shall verify turning
radius for fire trucks to safely maneuver site. I recommend showing a circulation path for
largest truck on site to verify adequate turning radius.
3) Please provide the labels CG -2 and CG -6 on sheet C5.
4) The entrance shall not exceed 4% grade, per 18- 4.12.17. Please revise the access road west of
site.
5) The following shall be provided for retaining walls:
a. Please provide bldg permits according to the Building Official policy. Also, safety
railing shall be shown for retaining walls over 4' high. Please refer to Albemarle
County Design Standards Manual.

pment /forms /design standards _manual/Albemarle _Coun y Design Standards_ Manual
_220ct2012.pdf
b. Retaining walls need ARB approval since site is on entrance corridor.
c. Please provide retaining wall details.
6) Please provide ADT.
7) Provide sidewalk detail to be a minimum of 4' stone base and 4" concrete of 3000 psi at 28
days, or stronger, reinforced with a minimum grid of wire reinforcing or #4 bars at 12" on
center.
8) The concrete v -ditch is not ideal for the site for the following reasons:
a. Ponding near the entrance of v -ditch will occur and further analysis is necessary to
determine depth and area of ponding. Please provide analysis.
b. Analysis shall show the v -ditch can convey the 10 year storm without overtopping the
banks. This can be done by taking multiple cross sections and showing the depths at
each cross section. Also, include sections before and after the bend.
c. Concrete lined channels shall be in accordance with VDOT. Please provide details.

d. It appears that no info is provided for the connection of the pipe at the end of the the
paved flume. Please provide a detail.
e. Also, it appears the concrete v -ditch is right above a waterline. Utilities underneath a
SWM facility shall be avoided.
f. All parking rows shall be protected by a curbed island. This design does not allow for a
curbed island in the middle section of parking lot. Another alternative solution is to
revise plan to show a 2'curbed island with adequate inlets and a stormsewer system.
9) Also, The curb medians at certain areas are too short and cars may be sideswiped. Please
extend curb medians to the travelway.
10) The sidewalk adjacent to parking, along front of bldg, is only 4'. We require, at a minimum, 5'
with concrete blocks or 6' without concrete blocks, per section 18- 4.12.15. Please revise.
11) The dumpster area in the NW corner obstructs a parking space. Please rotate -45 degrees.
B. SWM Plan (WP0201300026)
1) It appears the stormwater management plan fee has not been paid. Please provide the $300 fee
for the engineering review.
2) It also appears that the grade allows for runoff from the parking lot to the Guadalahara site.
Please revise grading to capture as much runoff within site.
3) Please note that 15" pipes are the minimum allowed for the county.
4) MS -19 shall be addressed for the adequacy of downstream pipes.
C. Erosions Control Plan (WP0201300026)
1) It appears that work will be done outside the property line for the Guadalahara connection.
Please provide a temporary construction easement from the adjacent property owner.
2) For all other areas, please adjust LOD to be at at or within property line.
3) It is not clear the phasing of erosion and sediment control plan. I recommend showing separate
plans for each phasing. Per minimum standards, please place a sediment trap NW of site with
diversion dikes along the northern boundary and western boundary.
4) In conjunction with comment 3, the stockpile shall be relocated. Also, please show silt fence
around the stockpile.
5) The parking area shall be constructed in accordance with VDOT or 6" inches shall be applied
immediately following grading for CRS. Please provide note on page C6. [VESH STD & SPEC
3.03]
6) Silt fence shall be provided north of the Guadalahara connection since grading is shown.
7) Please revise CE to be 12' wide on sheet C4.
8) The location of fence south of site blocks construction area for sidewalk. Please re -route fence
to allow sidewalk construction.
Sincerely,
r"de-
