Reviews Comments:
Plan appears to require a critical slope waiver. Please request a critical slope waiver.
This project does not appear to exceed 10,000 square feet of land disturbance. Should the Water
Protection Inspector find the total site work exceeds the State E &SC limit of 10,000 square feet, then
site work may be delayed while an erosion and sediment control plan is reviewed and approved.
Please include all proposed work in the final site _plan.

Reviews Comments: It appears that the development proposed on parcel 43C1 falls outside the Entrance Corridor because
it is located more than 500' from the Route 29 right -of -way. I have confirmed with the applicant that no
substantial work is proposed on the adjacent parcel (43C). Consequently, ARB review is not required.

Memorandum
To:Gerald Gatobu, Current Development planning and zoning review
From:Phil Custer, Current Development engineering review
Date:29 January 2008
Subject: Vest Property, Verizon Teir II PWSF; critical slope waiver request (SDP- 2007 - 00158)
The critical slope waiver request has been reviewed. The engineering analysis of the request follows:
Description of critical slope area and proposed disturbance:
The critical slope disturbance on parcel 109 -43C 1 will be needed for the construction of the cell tower, fenced
enclosure, and access path. The disturbed critical slope is an area of mature hardwood trees sloping towards the
house at approximately 30 %.
Areas Acres
Total site 2.85 acres approximately
Critical slopes 2.42 85% of site
Critical slopes disturbed 0.10 4% of critical slopes
Exemptions to critical slopes waivers for driveways, roads and utilities without reasonable alternative
locations:
The disturbance to construct the driveway to the fenced enclosure is exempt for the critical slope requirements.
4.2.6c] The combined area of the exempted critical slope disturbance (which has been included in the above
calculations) is 0.03 acres. This area is approximately 30% of the critical slope disturbance.
Compliance with Zoning Ordinance 18 -4.2:
movement of soil and rock"
Construction of the building and other site features will most likely require a temporary increased flow down
the critical slopes during a rain event. Movement of soil can be caught with an appropriate sediment trapping
measure before site runoff enters the existing stormwater system.
excessive stormwater runoff'
The changing of site characteristics will increase storm runoff by an insignificant amount.
siltation"
Proper stabilization and maintenance will ensure long term stability.
loss of aesthetic resource"
The critical slope disturbance is located 500ft from Maury's Lane, the nearest public space. The applicant has
performed a tree survey of the area and appears to have made above - average efforts to impact as few existing
trees and slopes as possible.
septic effluent"
This site will not require septic facilities.
Based on the review above, there are no engineering concerns with the proposed disturbance to critical slopes that
cannot be alleviated with the standard engineering and erosion control practices proposed by the applicant.

Dear Mr. Waller,
After visiting the location for a tower on the Covesville /Vest property site and
examining the zoning documents (revised 4- 10 -08) the tree protection should be
adequate as proposed. There will be significant root disruption on the uphill side with
the installation of the retaining wall. including the reference tree ( #498). To reduce the
likelihood of decline due to construction, I would recommend injected fertilization
with additional Mycorrhizae to aid in root system recovery.
If you have any further questions please contact me at (434) 982 -8733.
Sincerely.
