1. RW — Extend RW of public /private streets one foot (1') behind sidewalks consistent with RW shown for
approved road plans, prior blocks of development at Old Trail Village. Ref. sheet 10, 61' PUBLIC RW,
Fielding Run Drive; sheet 11, 55' Existing Public R -O -W, Rowcross Street.
2. To extent practical, keep all storm drain pipes within right of way. Note, for example, pipe at NE corner,
Lot 8 (Upland and Rowcross); at SE corner, Lot 8 (Alley and Rowcross); or at SE comer, Lot 14 (Golf
Drive and Rowcross). Please accept this comment applicable to future design. Maintenance responsibility
is unworkable if design links inlets via pipes that cross lots via easements that propose to alternate public
and private maintenance. Parties with maintenance responsibility may rightly contest responsibility. It will
save time during the review process if design abandons narrow right -of -way and establish right -of -way 1'
beyond sidewalks (standard design practice). VDOT dedicates public right -of -way to the County, which
does not have a public works department to maintain public storm drain facilities.
3. 38' CL radius, Rowcross, sheet 8, does not meet public street standards. Please revise.
4. Alley does not provide road frontage for Lots 17 -21 (block 17, sheet 8); propose street.
5. Alley does not provide road frontage for Lots 10 -14 (block 17, sheet 7); propose street, not alley.
Public /private street standards apply to proposed travel ways serving Lots 10 -14 and 17 -21 (block 17/18).
6. Sheet 8 — Eliminate 16 perpendicular parking spaces at open space off Alley opposite Court Mont — parallel
parking only. Concerns: safety (proximity to street corners; reverse maneuvers); sight distance (parked
vehicles obstruct). [VDOT Road Design Manual, Appendix B.1 A.D. — perpendicular, on- street parking:
normally prohibited; Also, Road Design Manual, Appendix Q.
For final site plan
7. Label stream buffer (dashed lines), sheets 5, 8.
8. Position SWM facilities (ponds) outside stream buffers.
9. Provide guardrail, Rowcross, between street and SWM pond.
10. Switch labels near SWM Pond that read proposed sanitary manhole (typical), proposed storm sewer M.H.
(sheets 8, 11).
11. Drainage, sheet 13, Lots 10 -15: Engineering review drainage plan checklist: "Provisions and easements for
drainage across 3 or more lots. Dense development where fencing, decking, etc is expected should provide
yard inlets and pipes in easements rather than ditches. {Policy }" Provide yard inlet as necessary.
12. Check loop street design at open space off Alley opposite Court Mont against 14- 412.A.2: sight distance
not less than 100', radius for horizontal curvature 40' or greater.
13. SWM —if proposed SWM facilities are located on County property, provide HOA Maintenance
Agreements. Reserve Drainage & Access Easement/s to SWM facilities on Parks and Recreation property
for OTV HOA.

14. Ensure proposed SWM facilities and development are consistent with revised Master (Conceptual) prepared
by Stantec. Conceptual SWMP approved with ZMA200400024 governs site plan/subdivision development
with respect to state regulations until and unless a revised Master plan is approved.
