9) Comment: Please follow VDOT road standards with a crown. This will change the
location of inlets. Please note road plans will require approval prior to subdivision of
lots.
[Revision 1] Comment partially addressed. Per our meeting, VDOT roll top curb and
ribbon curb are approvable. Provide plan view, front view and cross section of curb
transitions: roll top to CG-2, ribbon curb to CG-2.
[Revision 2] Applicant should detail the transition from the 3' roll top curb
with the 2' gutter in front of the inlet. Applicant and I discussed adding a note
to clarify the transition.
Response: A note has been added.
27) Comment: Revise 108.1 to a curb inlet.
y [Revision 2] Provide curbing at end of driveway for better capture to sump
inlet.

Dear Ms. Roberge:
Enclosed please find two (2) copies of the revised Stonefield Block D2 Final Site Plan for
the above-referenced project. We offer the following responses to your comments dated
May 29, 2015:
A. VSMP (WPO2014000096)
1) Comment: On page 24 the safety fence and silt fence have switched. It appears to be
an error on linetypes. See near primary construction entrance.
°-' [Revision 1]Comment addressed.
2) Comment: Scale is wrong for sheet 24.
[Revision 1]Comment addressed.
3) Comment: Please clarify phasing either by stating in sequence of construction or on
plan. It is not clear when SB-1 will be removed. Place a note that states lots 46-57
can be built after the basin is removed.
1.= [Revision 11Comment addressed.
4) Comment: The diversion dikes are also located where townhomes will be
constructed. This will not work if lots will be graded to subgrade elevations. Show a
sediment trap near the primary construction entrance. Provide a note stating lots 62-
65 can be built after ST has been removed.
[Revision 1]Comment addressed.
5) Comment: I recommend making the secondary entrance the only construction
entrance to make the previous comment work.

6) Comment: The RWD should be perpendicular to the road and not as an angle as
shown.
.' [Revision 11Comment addressed.
7) Comment: Revise the PPP with the most updated and approved E&S. You can
submit when plans are ready to be approved.
]Revision 1]Comment addressed. This will need to be added to SWPP onsite.
v 8) Comment: The placement of geogrid for the retaining wall will encroach on the
neighboring property.Please address easements.
[Revision 1]Comment not addressed. Show encroachment lines on grading plan.
V Response: The extent of geogrid that is available is shown on Drawing Numbers C-10
and C-11 as well as notes not allowing encroachment.
Comment: Please follow VDOT road standards with a crown. This will change the
location of inlets. Please note road plans will require approval prior to subdivision of
lots.
[Revision 1]Comment partially addressed. Per our meeting, VDOT roll top
curb and ribbon curb are approvable. Provide plan view, front view and cross
section of curb transitions: roll top to CG-2, ribbon curb to CG-2.

1'1� !-
Response: Plan, front an�cross sections of transition have been added to Plan. 111 G 1
10) Comment: Runoff from townhomes should be captured, as much as possible, with I'/f
inlets within the roadway rather than with roof drains. Please revise in conjunction YCi;i11
with comment 9.
[Revision 11Comment partially addressed. Show roof drains are sized for 10
year storm. See in front of lots 81-89.
iy Response: The maximum drainage area to the roof drain leaders is 0.06 acres.
Therefore, the maximum 10 year flow is 0.31 cfs. The full flow capacity of a 12" HDPE
pipe at 0.5% is 3.28 cfs. The minimum slope on the roof drains is 3%. Therefore, the
roof drains are adequate as designed.
11) Comment: The retaining walls should be designed to meet 30.7.5 if the walls were
not approved on the ZMA plans.
a) Retaining walls over 6' should be broken into stepped walls. The separation
between walls is 3'and shall be landscaped with screening shrubs planted on ten
(10)foot centers.
b) Address 30.7.5 9(b)(3)(ii). As noted in comment 8, it appears the abutting
parcels will be impacted when constructing the retaining wall. Please note there

appears to be a staircase to lot 2L. Also, there are accessory structures near the
boundary line of lot 6R or 6L.
c) Address 30.7.5 9(c)(2), Width and location of benches. The reverse slope shall
be approximately 17% or flatter. The bench gradient to the outlet shall be
between two(2) percent)and three(3)percent.
[Revision 1] Comment addressed. The retaining walls are shown on an
approved ZMA.
12) Comment: Show drainage easements for pipes connecting yard inlets to stormsewer
system.
{Revision 1] Comment partially addressed. Show drainage easements for lots
V 81-89.
Response: The drainage lines collecting the roof runoff have been moved off of the
property and onto common area.
13) Comment: For the lots near the retaining wall, the 10'-15' backyards show swales
that divert runoff to yard inlets. These swales need to function as swales long after
construction. Issues arise when homeowners decide to fence off property or build
patios. With these assumptions, please incorporate a stormsewer design that
anticipates the assumption noted. Typically, inlets are shown for every 3 lots. Also,
show drainage easements through the yards.
U [Revision 1] Comment addressed.
14) Comment: It will also be difficult to ensure positive drainage be to inlets in the
backyards near the retaining wall. Please field verify topo in this area and change
/grading if necessary.I recommend placing spot elevations.
•--' [Revision 1] Comment not addressed. Place spot elevations behind lots 3-4,
behind lots 26- 30,behind 38-40.
Response: Spot shots have been added.
Comment: Lots 22-29 have runoff from the adjacent property. Yard inlets are shown
to capture runoff, but inlets are prone to clogging. It appears overland relief is
attempted between lots 26-27, which is a benefit. Please show more of a depression
to YD-20 by creating a berm between lots 26 and 27. You may need to increase inlet
size to ensure maximum capture and avoid a micropool in a backyard. Show ponding
depth. Show another inlet at the bottom of hill to connect YD-20 to inlet at road.
[Revision 1] Comment partially addressed. The spread for inlet 19 is 10'.
Revise grading for inlets 21 and 19. Show inlets are in a swale to inlet 20, then
provide relief to drain between lots 26-27.
Response: The grading has been revised around inlet 19 to reduce the spread.

6) Comment: YD-21 has a 520 contour that creates a depression for the inlet;however,
it does not appear that YD-21 will capture much. It will most likely be picked up by
YD-20. Please change contour 520 to show positive drainage to YD-20. Show only
one depression towards YD-20. I recommend moving these inlets closer to YD-20
depression.
[Revision 1] Comment partially addressed. The spread for inlet 19 is 10'.
Revise grading for inlets 21 and 19. Show inlets are in a swale to inlet 20, then
provide relief to drain between lots 26-27.
Response: The grading has been revised around inlet 19 to reduce the spread.
17) Comment: It appears there is a general permit coverage letter for 26.3 acres. This
covers blocks F,G&D. Please note,the SWPP package was submitted under blocks
G and will be stored with application WPO201400102.
[Revision 1] Comment acknowledged.
18) Comment: Please note the SWPP on site should have all the approved PPPs for
Blocks F, G&D.
