Please contact Megan Yaniglos at 296 -5832 if you have questions or require additional information.
Engineering Division Approval of (1 copy of site plan; WPO plan number stated in application):
A. Initial Site Plan (SDP201400057)
1. Show matchlines on sheets.
2. There are items from blocks 4 -7 shown as existing on this plan, which means that this
application will be approvable once the subdivision, site plan and wpo plan from blocks 4 -7 are
approved. Please clarify if this is how you would like to proceed. Also, there is a new grading
plan for lots along the proposed Delphi Lane extension and commercial bldg area. This area has
changed since the approved WPO2013 -32. Please address how you would like to proceed with
coordination of that plan. For example, a sediment trap should be placed south of the proposed
Cascadia Drive. What are revisions to the erosion control measures as the temporary
conveyance channel is removed and Dephi Lane is constructed?
3. In conjunction with comment 2, the SWM Pond #2 is shown as existing. Under the new VSMP
regulations, as- builts shall be provided for existing SWM facilities. Since the facility is not yet
built, please clarify coordination of these plans.
4. There should be no disturbance within the SWM Pond #2 easement. It appears the layout of the
commercial site shows disturbance within this easement. Please address.
5. The road plan shall be approved by VDOT.
6. Parking should be separated from entrances and street. Remove the parallel parking near the
commercial bldg. One recommendation is to rotate the entire parking layout by 90 degrees and
remove the choked entrance or flip the bldg and parking lot to change entrance location.
7. 1 do not recommend the street ending as shown near lot 22. 1 recommend a radius of 200' to
avoid this stub out.
8. Show and label the managed slopes.
9. All retaining walls on managed slopes should adhere to section 30.7.5[a] of Albemarle County
Code.
10. Show design of retaining wall.
11. Revise the road layout for lots 106 -111 and remove turnarounds and stubouts. Show a 200'
radius and connect the Knoll Lane to Delphi Lane.
12. Provide drainage computations.
B) Preliminary Plat (SUB201400136)
1. An approved and bonded road plan for blocks 1 -3 will be required prior to the approval of this
plat.

applicant should be aware of:
1. Submit 3 copies of the final site plan directly to the ACSA (ATTN: Jeremy Lynn, P.E.) with water
and sewer data sheets attached for construction review and approval.
2. Lots 112 -120 appear to share a private force main. The ACSA does not allow shared private force
mains or laterals. Update the utilities to reflect one force main per lot.

information.
E911 approval to include (1 copy):
1. The road names, 'Village Drive' and 'Meadow Lane' are not acceptable road names currently.

times to begin a road name and is unacceptable. The other road names found on the plan
('Knoll Lane', 'Cascadia Drive', 'Delphi Lane', and 'Delphi Drive') are all acceptable road names.

'Meadow Lane'.

VDOT approval to include (2 copies):
1. The typical section for Meadow Lane is labeled as Meadow Drive.
2. The typical sections for the streets should be identified as either providing on- street parking or
not.

commercial entrance design standards as identified in Appendix F of the Road Design Manual.
5. Can storm manhole 5 be replaced with a drop inlet and structure 6 eliminated?

should be DI -3 structures.
7. It appears that a section of storm sewer between structures 32 and 37 has been omitted from
the plan.

pipes at each structure. It appears that structure 17 should be shifted slightly to provide 90° at
structure 16.
