Re: SUB- 2013 -00025 Old Trail Block 14 Road & Utility Plan
Dear Mr. Koslow:
We have reviewed the Road & Utility Plan for Old Trail Village Block 14 dated February 14, 2013 with revisions
dated April 25, 2013 as submitted by Roudabush, Gale & Associates, Inc. and offer the following comments:
1. Spot elevations should be provided along the returns of intersections to verify that drainage will adequately
be handled.
2. On Sheet 4, there should be a section of storm sewer between Structures 48 and 42 instead of between
Structures 48 and 46. As shown, street runoff will flow through VDOT storm sewer, then private storm
sewer, back to VDOT storm sewer.
3. On Sheet 4, storm manhole 14 should be located outside of the paved surface. In addition, the top section
should be rotated so that it does not interfere with the curb and gutter.
4. On Sheet 5, the storm sewer between Structures 34 and 32 is shown to be located partially within a private
drainage easement. This should either be a drainage easement to the State, or the right -of -way at this
location could be modified slightly to include the storm sewer.
5. On Sheet 5, the storm sewer between Structures 38 and 36 is shown to be located within the right -of -way
with private drainage easement to allow for maintenance. This should either be a drainage easement to the
State, or the right -of -way at this location could be modified slightly to include the storm sewer.
6. If Glen Valley Drive is going to be extended through Fielding Run Drive as it appears on Sheet 5, the street
tree shown in the northeast corner of the potential intersection does not meet the tree spacing does not meet
the requirement of 30' from the end of radius as specified in Appendix B(1) of the Road Design Manual.
7. According to the profile shown on Sheet 9, Structure 13 does not meet the minimum height requirement
specified in the 2008 Road and Bridge Standards.
If additional information is needed concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
