Re: SUB- 2014 -00080 Old Trail, Block 15
Dear Mr. Anderson:
We have reviewed the road and utility plan for Old Trail Village, Block 15 dated 519114 as submitted by Roudabush,
Gale & Associates, Inc. and offer the following comments:
1. General Construction Note 1 should indicate that VDOT also will be contact at least 48 hours in advance of
construction.
2. General Construction Note 2 should indicate that the CBR's will also be submitted to VDOT.
3. The type of curb (CG -6) for Claremont Lane, Rowcross Street, and Fielding Run Drive should be labeled in
the plan view of these roads on sheet 3.
4. A CG -12 should be added on the east side of Fielding Run Drive at the intersection with Rowcross Street.
5. Several drop inlets on the inlet schedule call for inappropriate inlets. Structures 35, 37, 37B, and 39 are
called out as either DI -3AA or DI -3BB. Per the 2008 Road and Bridge Standards, these structures are for
depths of 8' or greater.
6. The inlet tops for structures 31 and 33 in the inlet schedule do not match the information in the profile.
7. Structures 27, 45, 47, 49, and 51 do not meet minimum height requirements as indicated in the 2008 Road
and Bridge Standards.
8. There appears to be low spots at the curb for the intersections of Claremont Lane and Court Mont Way,
Claremont Lane and Rowcross Street, Fielding Run Drive and Court Mont Way, and Fielding Run Drive
and Rowcross Street. Spot elevations should be provided on the curb returns at each intersection
demonstrating how the runoff will drain to a drop inlet.
9. The downstream pipe from Structure 27 should be aligned with the proposed roadway so that when
Rowcross Street is extended the storm sewer will be located in the correct alignment.
10. Pipe 62 from Structure 61 should be shown in its entirety. The outlet should be shown in plan view and
profile view.
11. Storm sewer should run from Structure 39 to 35, similar to the alignment of the storm sewer at the
intersection of Court Mont Way and Fielding Run Drive.
12. There should be a noted added to the storm sewer profiles indicating that "Contractor shall place fill under
inlet(s) at 95% compaction & embankment material shall consist predominantly of soil & be placed in
successive uniform layers not more than 8" in thickness before compaction in accordance wl VDOT 2007
Road & Bridge Specification 303.04. After 3' vertical placement of fill, contractor shall excavate recently
laid fill and install compacted VDOT std. 21A stone in an 8'x8' o.c. compacted 21A area centered on the
inlet(s). Contractor shall repeat this operation until an 8'x8' o.c. compacted 2 1 A stone base in installed
between the existing ground and the proposed inlet(s) base in efforts to reduce the risk of settling.
Contractor shall provide VDOT wl fill compaction results prior to road acceptance."
13. Per the HGL calculations provided, for a 10 -year storm, water overtops structures 27, 29, 43, 41, 45, 47, 49,
51, 55, and Ex. 32. The storm sewer needs to be redesigned to correct this condition.
14. The profiles for Rowcross Street, Fielding Run Drive, Court Mont Way, and Claremont Lane should have
the scale clearly labeled.
15. It appears that standard CD -1's are needed at approximately stations 12 +10, 17 +70, and 18 +25 on the
profile for Rowcross Street.
16. The profile for Rowcross Street should clearly define where the profile for Block 15 begins and ends.
17. The elevations of the intersections with Claremont Drive and Fielding Run Drive should be added to the
profile for Rowcross Street.
18. It appears that standard CD -1's are needed at approximately stations 10 +45 and 12 +45 on the profile for
Fielding Run Dive.
19. The elevations of the intersections with Glenn Valley Drive, Court Mont Way, and Rowcross Street should
be added to the profile for Fielding Run Drive.
20. It appears that a standard CD -1 is needed at approximately station 12 +85 on the profile for Court Mont
Way.
21. The elevations of the intersections with Claremont Lane and Fielding Run Drive should be added to the
profile of Court Mont Way.
22. The elevations of the intersections with Glenn Valley Drive, Court Mont Way, and Rowcross Street should
be added to the profile for Claremont Lane.
23. Is 200 vpd on Rowcross Street and Fielding Run Drive reasonable? It is assumed that Rowcross Street will
be extended both west and east and this would mean that the number of residences using Rowcross Street
to leave the area would be limited to approximately 20 units total.
24. The asphalt design calculation for Rowcross Street is based on 400 vpd. It would be helpful to see how this
number was derived, especially since it does not match the vpd on the attached plan.
25. For the asphalt design calculation for Fielding Run Drive, a 2.25 thickness equivalency value is appropriate
only when the combination of asphalt layers is 4 %z inches in thickness, otherwise, 1.67 should be used.
Also, a 2.15 thickness equivalency value for the BM -25 is appropriate for Full Depth Asphalt over
subgrade. Since 21A aggregate will be used as a subbase, the thickness equivalency value for the BM -25
should be 1.67.
26. For the asphalt design calculation for Court Mont Drive, a 2.25 thickness equivalency value is appropriate
only when the combination of asphalt layers is 4 % inches in thickness, otherwise, 1.67 should be used.
Also, a 2.15 thickness equivalency value for the BM -25 is appropriate for Full Depth Asphalt over
subgrade. Since 21A aggregate will be used as a subbase, the thickness equivalency value for the BM -25
should be 1.67.
27. The vpd for Claremont Lane and Rowcross Street shown in the Road Classification Schedule does not
match the vpd's provided on the plan view attached to the asphalt design calculations.
28. The thicknesses of the BM -25 and the 2 1 A aggregate shown in the Road Classification Schedule for
Claremont Lane, Rowcross Street, and Fielding Run Drive do not match the thickness provided on the
typical sections for these roads.
29. The typical section for Rowcross Street indicates that there will be intermediate parking along the southern
side of the road. How is enforcement of this condition anticipated? It may be wise to design the typical
section adequately for parking on both sides of the road.
