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?
RESPONSE: The developer would like to proceed in the manor that you described. The
intent is for the sediment basins that were constructed under WPO 2013-00032 to remain
in place during blocks 1-3 construction. Therefore, a sediment trap south of proposed
Cascadia Drive is not required. Also, the temporary conveyance channel will be replaced
with a storm sewer pipe system with inlet protection.
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.
RESPONSE: As described in the response to comment#2 above, the intent is for Pond
#2 to be in place as a sediment basin, and converted to a retention facility once total
build out of all blocks is complete. Please refer to the E&SC and Stormwater
Management Plan for Cascadia Blocks 1-3 for further detail on coordination of Pond #2.
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.
RESPONSE: The easements for Pond #2 have been revised. There is no longer
disturbance from the commercial site within the easement.
5. The road plan shall be approved by VDOT.
RESPONSE: Acknowledged.
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.
RESPONSE: Per discussion in engineers meeting the design is permitted as is, with an
adjustment of the entrance to allow for a curb to curb width of 24'.
7. I do not recommend the street ending as shown near lot 22. I recommend a radius of 200'

Dear Megan,
Enclosed please find ten (10) sets of the revised Site Plan. Please note that we have revised the Site Plan to
address your comments dated January 9, 2015 in accordance with the following:
1. [32.6] Signature Panel. Revise the signature panel to not include "Current Development".That division no
longer exists, "Planner" and "Engineer" will suffice.
RESPONSE: Revised
2. [Sheet SP5] Remove the variance note on this sheet. Those variations were approved for Blocks 4-7. New
variations have been received and are being processed.
RESPONSE: Revised
3. Clarify if Phase 2 will include the entrance onto Rt. 20. It is a little unclear on the phasing plan.
RESPONSE: The phasing plan has been revised to show a clearer picture of what is going on. The
entrance to Route 20 is included with Phase 1.
4. [32.7.9]Street trees. There are many areas where street trees are not being provided. If the trees cannot be
provided in the right of way because of conflicts with easement and utilities, provide them in a landscape
easement on the lots.
5. [32.7.9] Street trees. There are many areas where street trees are spaced farther than 50 feet on center.
Adjust areas so that additional trees can be provided.
4-5 RESPONSE: We have made every effort to provide as many street trees as we can. In areas where
there are utility conflicts, we have provided trees in the front yard of the lots and included landscape
easements. VDOT commented on the plans and are drawing a hard line with regards to trees within site
distance triangles. In these areas there may be gaps but it is unavoidable.

commercial building abuts the trail?Also, slope east of pond 2 will need to be regraded, but it is already at 2:1
slope. If a wall is built, it will be subject to ARB review. Please address.
RESPONSE: The easement has been adjusted to be centered along the proposed trail, and wall
redesigned to lie outside of the easement. The 30' easement should be sufficient in the unlikely event of
a private driveway being constructed.
32) It appears Knoll Lane is proposed as a one way road since it cannot meet VDOT sight distance requirements
for vehicles turning into Delphi Lane. I recommend ending Knoll Lane with a cul de sac and adding landscaping
for screening. Also, increase road width to 24' wide with 2% cross slopes(typical VDOT cross-section)with no
parking signs on both sides. Discuss with Fire Rescue.
RESPONSE: Knoll lane has been redesigned to have a two-way movement. It is proposed that knoll
lane be an Alley and retain its 20'width as the lots now front along Delphi Lane.
33) Please remove the perpendicular parking on Knoll Lane.
RESPONSE: Revised.
34) If the subdivision plats will be phased, note the road plans will need to be delineated to match phasing plan
with proper turnarounds. We have a policy that one road plan with appropriate title should correspond with
subdivision plat phase.
RESPONSE: Phasing has been provided and should allow for proper turnarounds where necessary.
Phased road plans based off the shown phasing lines will be submitted after site plan approval if
necessary.
35) Label all signs on road plan.
RESPONSE: All signs have been labeled.
36) Show intersections within a road profile. Label elevation and station.
RESPONSE: All intersection stations and elevations have been added to the road profiles.
37) Show sidewalk detail per VDOT standards.
RESPONSE: A VDOT sidewalk detail has been added to sheet SP34A.

RE: Cascadia Subdivision Blocks 1-3- Comment-Response Letter-ARB-2015-05
Dear Margaret,
We have revised the Site Plan to address your approval conditions comments dated March 12, 2015 in
accordance with the following:
1. Regarding the commercial building, staff shall work with the applicant to identify the building and site
envelope to address landscaping, retaining walls, elevations, and building orientation. Retaining walls shall not
exceed 6' in height. Building and site envelope approval shall include interim site concept plan prior to
construction of new building.
RESPONSE: An exhibit has been provided showing an interim site plan for the commercial building site
and includes the building envelope area.
2. Add the standard window glass note to the architectural drawings: "Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) shall not
drop below 40%. Visible Light Reflectance (VLR) shall not exceed 30%."
RESPONSE: All architectural drawings shall include the aforementioned note.
3. Include a dumpster screen detail in the plan. Identify the material of the screen on the plan. Coordinate the
screen material with the material of the commercial building.
RESPONSE: A dumpster screen detail has been added to sheet SP33 of the site plan.
4. Add landscaping along the frontage at the southwest corner of the development, consistent with the approved
planting to the north, to blend this end of the frontage with the area to the north.
RESPONSE: Additional landscaping in this area has been provided.
5. Provide large shade trees parallel to all interior roads, 40' on center, 2W caliper at planting. Shift pipes and
utilities to accommodate these trees.
RESPONSE: Street trees have been provided in all areas where permitted. VDOT required us to remove
multiple trees from the site distance triangles, and we have to maintain adequate separation from
utilities. In areas where it is prohibitive to place street trees, we have proposed street trees behind the
sidewalk within proposed landscape easements.
