Subject: RE: SDP2015500028-Old Trail Village - blocks 10, 16 & 17/18
Raleigh,
I will resend via CV system later today, please accept Engineering initial site plan comments:
1. RW—Extend RW of public/private streets one foot(1') behind sidewalks consistent with RW shown
for approved road plans, prior blocks of development at Old Trail Village. Ref. sheet 10, 61' PUBLIC
RW, Fielding Run Drive; sheet 11, 55' Existing Public R-O-W, Rowcross Street.
2. To extent practical, keep all storm drain pipes within right of way. Note, for example, pipe at NE
corner, Lot 8 (Upland and Rowcross); at SE corner, Lot 8 (Alley and Rowcross); or at SE corner, Lot 14
(Golf Drive and Rowcross). Please accept this comment applicable to future design. Maintenance
responsibility is unworkable if design links inlets via pipes that cross lots via easements that propose to
alternate public and private maintenance. Parties with maintenance responsibility may rightly contest
responsibility. It will save time during the review process if design abandons narrow right-of-way and
establish right-of-way 1' beyond sidewalks (standard design practice). VDOT dedicates public right-of-
way to the County, which does not have a public works department to maintain public storm drain
facilities.
3. 38' CL radius, Rowcross, sheet 8, does not meet public street standards. Please revise.
4. Alley does not provide road frontage for Lots 17-21 (block 17, sheet 8); propose street.
5. Alley does not provide road frontage for Lots 10-14 (block 17, sheet 7); propose street, not alley.
Public/private street standards apply to proposed travel ways serving Lots 10-14 and 17-21 (block
17/18).
6. Sheet 8 —Eliminate 16 perpendicular parking spaces at open space off Alley opposite Court Mont—
parallel parking only. Concerns: safety (proximity to street corners; reverse maneuvers); sight distance
(parked vehicles obstruct). [VDOT Road Design Manual, Appendix B.1.4.D. —perpendicular, on-street
parking: normally prohibited; Also, Road Design Manual, Appendix C])
For final site plan
7. Label stream buffer (dashed lines), sheets 5, 8.
8. Position SWM facilities (ponds) outside stream buffers.
9. Provide guardrail, Rowcross, between street and SWM pond.
10. Switch labels near SWM Pond that read proposed sanitary manhole (typical), proposed storm sewer
M.H. (sheets 8, 11).
11. Drainage, sheet 13, Lots 10-15: Engineering review drainage plan checklist: "Provisions and easements
for drainage across 3 or more lots. Dense development where fencing, decking, etc is expected should
provide yard inlets and pipes in easements rather than ditches. Policy;" Provide yard inlet as necessary.
12. Check loop street design at open space off Alley opposite Court Mont against 14-412.A.2: sight distance
not less than 100', radius for horizontal curvature 40' or greater.
13. SWM—if proposed SWM facilities are located on County property, provide HOA Maintenance
Agreements. Reserve Drainage &Access Easement/s to SWM facilities on Parks and Recreation
property for OTV HOA.
14. Ensure proposed SWM facilities and development are consistent with revised Master(Conceptual)
prepared by Stantec. Conceptual SWMP approved with ZMA200400024 governs site plan/subdivision
development with respect to state regulations until and unless a revised Master plan is approved.
