Christopher Perez, Planning
From:
Justin Deel, Engineering
Date:

Subject:
Inglewood Terrace (SDP201500020)
The initial site plan for Ingleside Terrace has been reviewed. The following concerns should be addressed;
1. The neighboring community, according to at least one member of that community, has expressed
intent to provide an additional study to contest the provided determination, because they strongly
feel that the stream is indeed perennial. Should a new study be presented to conflict with the
provided determination, this new information must be reviewed and considered.
2. Concerning previous comment #2; this comment is referring to TMP 61K- 05- OD -4's potential to
be an erosion impact area during and after construction. The comment response that the ultimate
configuration will not be erosive does not address the E &SC (construction) phase. This can be
addressed with the E &SC plan, and will be vigorously scrutinized at that time. The previously
requested drainage area verification will need to be provided as well.
3. Within the steep slopes overlay district, the maximum height of a single retaining wall is 6 feet
[18- 30.7.5]. This plan proposes a 9' to 10' wall passing through an area designated as a managed
slope. Please adjust. Note that the minimum horizontal distance between individual walls in a
stepped wall system is 3 feet.
4. The previously requested drainage and SWM easements are not shown.
5. Concerning road width (previous comment #7); the referenced footnote in the comment response
does not allow for a reduction in the minimum 24' face of curb to face of curb width for up to
2,000 ADT; rather it allows for a reduction in the minimum width's for 2,001 to 4,000 ADT.
Note that there is no reference to footnote 9 in the up to 2,000 ADT widths. The minimum width
is 24', please adjust.
6. Stormwater quality does not appear to be addressed with this plan. The previously requested
concept BMP plan has not been provided.
7. Parking lot sidewalks do not meet the minimum 5' width. There are no exceptions to this. See
Albemarle County Design Standards Manual for minimum configurations.
Comments for Final Site Plan (previously provided by Michelle Roberge and remain unaddressed on
plans and in comment response letter)
8. Retaining walls greater than 4' require railing.
9. Design proper inlet for stormsewer pipe bypassing runoff north of site. It appears there is an
existing channel. Are you proposing to improve the channel to the stormsewer inlet?
10. Verify channel at outfall is adequate.
11. A separate road plan will need to be approved and bonded prior to the approval of a subdivision
plat.
12. VDOT approval is necessary for connection to public road and for improvements within their
right -of -way.
13. Show groundcover, not grass, for slopes greater than 3:1.
14. A VSMP application shall be submitted and approved prior to the approval of the final site plan.
15. One parallel parking does not meet the 18' requirement for length.
16. Verify guardrails are not warranted under GRIT manual. Otherwise, please show.
