1. Show entire preserved slopes overlay on plans and remove disturbances. Aerial topography will
not warrant removal of preserved slope designations. A field survey provided by a licensed
Professional Surveyor would be required. In addition, while it is possible that a field survey may
prove that some slopes designated as preserved are less than 25 %, it will likely warrant additional
areas to be designated as preserved, as the site must be reevaluated as a whole. The steep slopes
overlay district tries to preserve contiguous areas, so results of any new evaluation will need to
avoid breaking slope areas into fragments. [30.7.4(b)(h)]
2. "All streets within a development shall be extended and constructed to the abutting property lines
to provide vehicular and pedestrian interconnections to future development on adjoining lands,
terminating within the development with a temporary turnaround." [32.7.2.2(e) & 14.409(B)]
Please provide a turnaround at the Free State Drive stub -out that meets the requirements of the
Albemarle County Design Standards Manual.
3. Turnaround grades should be a maximum of 6 %, please adjust. Also, the gutter should not be
included in your roundabout dimensions. Ensure that the edge of pavement radius meets the
Albemarle County Design Standards Manual.
4. Show stationing at a 50' minimum on all proposed streets, on plan and profile.
5. You are showing a stacking block retaining wall between lots 10 & 11 with a maximum height of
8 feet. Provide sealed retaining wall plans for this wall.
6. The cross -walk on Free State Drive that is located in the curve, just beyond the crest, should be
relocated.
7. A guardrail is needed on the outside of the curve on Free State Drive, please provide.
8. It is difficult to make out the asphalt layers in your road cross - sections, and it's not clear to what
each leader is pointing. To avoid confusion, please list the asphalt layers and their corresponding
thicknesses for each road section.
9. Provide the Albemarle County General Construction Notes for Streets.
10. Provide traffic generation summary and pavement design calculations.
11. Call out all proposed slopes on Landscape Plan that are steeper than 2:1 and specify low -
maintenance ground cover (not grass).
12. Drainage computations and maps were not found with this submission; therefore, a review of the
drainage plan could not be performed.
Comments from VDOT, Planning, ACSA, and Fire & Rescue will be forwarded as they are received.
