Sheet 3.05
1. Label the existing RWSA sewer line as "RWSA 12" DIP Sanitary Sewer."
Label the existing RWSA 30' wide easement with Deed Book and Page Number (D.B. 597, P. 146).
RWSA would prefer for the sewer connection be made to an existing manhole as opposed to a
doghouse, as is shown on Sheet 3.05 of the Preliminary Plans. It appears from the site plan that
RWSA manhole MRI -MH -56 would be best suited for the tie -in location. See the attached pdf
showing RWSA manhole locations for reference.

5. All connections to RWSA manholes shall be watertight and made with a flexible rubber boot. All
coring methods, the coring contractor and all materials for construction shall be approved by

the manholes. Bypass pumping may be required at the sole discretion of RWSA staff. Grouting

Advisory Landscaping Recommendations
1. All shrubbery and ornamental grasses used in foundation planting areas should follow the
CPTED two foot six foot rule. Shrubs should be no taller than two feet in front of building
windows. Tree crowns in common areas, near buildings, and along pedestrian walkways should
be pruned no less than six feet from ground level to maximize surveillance opportunities.
Shrubbery should always remain below the window line so natural surveillance is not hindered
from the building interior out onto property grounds.
2. All shrubs, grasses, and ornamental flowering trees should be planted no less than four to six
feet from pedestrian walkways to eliminate concealment and ambush opportunities.
3. The existing dense vegetation, and any proposed site landscape plantings should be pruned or
planted at least four to six feet away from all parking space areas. Areas to take into
consideration are the proposed eight reinforced grass parking spaces and the ten permeable
grass paver spaces. Special attention should be placed on all vegetation bordering outlying
parking spaces that offer a potential ambush opportunity.
4. Light poles should not be placed where the growth of tree crowns will obscure the illumination
of the site. Future tree growth should be considered in all security lighting plans and
installation.
5. Landscape material, in conjunction with signage, should be used as a wayfinding system to guide
all users to the main entrance of the facility.
Advisory Lighting Recommendations
1. All lighting should be within the IESNA guidelines for minimum security lighting standards for
parking lots.
2. It is advised that the parking area be illuminated to a minimum 3.0 fc horizontal on pavement
and a minimum of .5 fc to .8 fc vertical 5' above ground.
3. All lighting on site should be at a 4:1 average to minimum ratio (background to face), and
designed to limit light trespass and glare.
4. All lighting on site should be sufficient to allow facial recognition at thirty feet. Security lighting
should be no less than .5 fc to .8 fc vertical 5' above ground. Thirty feet is the minimum for
reaction time to determine if the person is friendly or hostile.
5. It is advised that the lighting sources in the parking area be pedestrian scale to eliminate
shadowing between vehicles and potential light pollution in the rural area.
6. Illumination should fall throughout the parking area, along pedestrian walkways, along the
building edge, and building entrances.
3
7. All lighting should be uniform, should not create shadowing, or sharp contrasts for concealment.
The lighting on site should not create a transient adaption visual environment where the eye has
to adapt to different light levels, low to high, high to low, during short intervals of time.
8. All lighting sources should be HID Metal Halide or LED luminaires equipped with break resistant
polycarbonate lenses.
9. Proper lighting design should stimulate normal users and observers to scrutinize anyone not in
proper areas.
10. The lighting environment should create a greater perception of risk in the abnormal user
accessing inappropriate areas on facility grounds.
11. Security lighting in the parking lot will alleviate the potential for premises liability lawsuits
involving injuries from unseen hazards or criminal activity.
Advisory Natural Access Control
1. No trespassing signs displaying facility operational hours should be placed at the Ivy Road and
Birdway Drive roadway entrances.
A precise wayfinding system utilizing directional signage should be put in place along access
roads and in the parking area to guide users to the main entrance facility the facility.
All users should be directed to one main entrance to increase the Natural Surveillance of normal
users and increase the perception in abnormal users they will be easily observed and
apprehended.
Advisory Territorial Recommendations
1. All sidewalks and entranceways should be constructed with textured and colored concrete or
pavers which demonstrates territorial reinforcement and adds to the development of a
celebrated entryway and delineates movement from semi - private to private space.
2. Property boundaries should be delineated by dwarf variety shrubbery to demonstrate
territoriality and define transition zones. The use of dwarf shrubbery will eliminate potential
concealment and ambush opportunities along the boundaries of the site.
Virginia Department of Transportation Approval (1 Copy is required to be submitted for review)
1. The connection of Birdwood Drive to Route 250 is not adequate as a commercial entrance. The
proposed golf facility should not have access to Birdwood Drive as shown on the proposed site
plan. Rather, all trips to the facility should be via the primary access shown on the site plan which
is Golf Course Drive.
If you have any questions about these conditions or the submittal requirements please feel free to contact
