Final Site Development Plans
Dear Ellie;
Below are responses to the comments from each reviewer. Plans and response letter will be submitted
directly to each of the reviewers.
PLANNING
6. Please make sure the existing water and sewer facilities and any easements are shown and are
readable.
• The existing sanitary easement is shown and labeled with deed book reference on
Sheet C-100 and Sheet C-202.
7. Verify that all necessary easements for proposed water, sewer and drainage facilities have been
shown on the plans.
• All proposed easements are shown on the plans.
13. FINAL: the conservation checklist must be signed and dated. Tree Protection must be shown for
- all existing trees intended to be preserved to satisfy landscape plan requirements; the existing oak
near the parking lot does not appear to have protection indicated on the plan. All tree protection
must be shown on the landscape plan as well as the erosion plan. REV 1: the conservation
checklist is not signed and dated; it must be signed and dated when the site plan is submitted for
county signature.
• The conservation checklist has been signed and dated on the submitted plans.
17. FINAL: Engineering comments indicate an off-site easement as well as a future connection
easement will be required; these easements must be reviewed, approved and recorded prior to site
plan approval. REV1: the easement plat has not yet been submitted.
• The easement plat has been submitted under separate cover.
23. REV 1: Engineering will require signage at the entrance to the 14' travelway in order to prevent
customers from driving down this aisle.
• An `Employee Only'sign has been added to the plans.See Sheet C-202.
ARB —Maraget Maliszewski
4. Revise the photometric plan using an LLF of 1.0.
• The photometric plan has been revised. See Sheet C-204.
5. Coordinate the site and architectural drawings regarding the wall fixture.
• The architectural and site plans have been coordinated.
6. Indicate on the plan if a base will be provided for the pole lights. If a base is proposed, also
indicate its height on the plan.Ensure that total fixture height does not exceed 18'-5 1/2".
• See Note 2 on Sheet C-204.
Page 1
7. Indicate on the plan the proposed color for the light fixtures and the light pole.
• See Note 3 and Sheet C-204.
8. Add standard lighting note to the site plan: "Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that
emits 3,000 or more initial lumens shall be full cutoff luminaire and shall be arranged or shielded
to reflect light away from adjoining residential districts and away from adjacent roads. The
spillover lighting form luminaires onto public roads and property in residential or rural areas
zoning districts shall not exceed one half footcandle."
• See Note 4 on Sheet C-204.
9. Coordinate all the site plan sheets regarding the existing White Oak to remain. Show the tree at its
current size. Show tree protection fencing. Maintain grading outside the drip line of the tree.
• VDOT required the entrance to be revised and the White Oak will have to be
removed to accommodate the entrance.
10. Provide shrubs along the west side of the parking lot.Provide all shrubs at 24"high at planting.
• Shrubs have been added to the west side of the parking. The planting height has
been revised to 24".See Sheet C-203.
11. Provide trees,in sufficiently large planting beds, along the side building elevations to mitigate the
blank wall areas.
• Trees are shown on both sides of the building. The planting bed widths are 5.5' or
greater.See Sheet C-203.
12. Include the standard landscape note on the site plan: "All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall
be allowed to reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited.
Shrubs and trees shall be pruned minimally and only to support the overall health of the plant."
• See Note 1 on Sheet C-203.
13. Provide a muted earth tone for the Redi-Rock wall.Provide a sample and indicate the color on the
plan.
• The color of the retaining wall will be Buffalo Brown. See Detail 6 on Sheet C-301.
Color sample will be submitted under separate cover.
14. Revise the plan to include details on the proposed handrail.
• See Detail 6 on Sheet C-301.
15. Show tree protection fencing for the Oak tree to remain.
• VDOT required the entrance to be revised and the White Oak will have to be
removed to accommodate the entrance.
N EERING—Mielielle Roberge
4. Provide a 20' travelway instead of 14' travelway.
Revision 1: We discussed putting a sign for employees only.
• A sign has been added to the plans. See Sheet C-202.
'- 5. The existing sanitary easements shall be provided with the deed book reference.
Revision 1: Comment not addressed.
• The Deed Book Reference was shown on Sheet C-100. It has been added to Sheet C-202.
-' 8. For possible future connections, please provide grading easements within this site that will be
required to construct connection.
Revision 1: This is shown on the plans but a plat will need to be submitted for review.
• A plat has been submitted under separate cover.
1"--9. It appears water will flow to TMP 45-100A from proposed future connection. I recommend
showing a curb or provide a high point to create a drainage divide.
Revision 1: Please label asphalt curb.
• The 4"asphalt curb is labeled on Sheet C-201.
Page 2
14. Provide a detail of retaining wall.
Revision 1: Please show actual design of retaining wall. The handrail appears to be missing the
footing.
• The wall does not require an actual design because of the height. The retaining wall
detail shows the handrail.
VDOT—Troy Austin
2. A "No Left Turn" facing egress traffic from the sight and a"No Entry" or"No Left Turn" facing
potential left trun from Rio Road traffic should be added to the entrance median.
• A"No Left Turn"and"No Entry"sign have been added to the plans. See Sheet C-202.
3. A Maintenance of Traffic Plan(MOT) should be added to the site plan. The MOT plan may be a
separate document as an addendum to this site plan.
• A MOT has been added to the site plan. See Sheet C-304.
4. The allowable work hours for the entrance connection to Rio Road will be 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM
per NWRO allowable work hours.
• Refer Note 3 on Sheet C-304.
ACSA—Alexander Morrison
1. Show existing 2 water meters(654 and 660) as a double tap off of the existing 8"DIP watermain.
• The tap has been revised.See Sheet C-202.
2. Provide overall build-out fixture counts by type and quantity. This information is required to size
the water meter and determine if an upgrade is required. Meter sizing is required to correctly
show the water service connection requirements. Once fixture counts are reviewed,the ACSA
will provide call-out notes for the existing meter on the site plan.
• The existing and new fixture counts have been added to the site plan. See Sheet C-100.
3. Call out a backflow preventer on the private side of the water meter.
• A backflow preventer is shown inside the new building.See Sheet C-202.
4. Include the ACSA Water&Sewer General Conditions (Attached)
• The conditions have been added to the site plan. See Sheet C-301.
5. Call out the sewer lateral connection to the stub-out. Clearly denote the existing stub-out location
and the connection point. Refer to as-built plan included in this comment sheet.
• The lateral connection has been revised as requested. See Sheet C-202.
Please let me know if you need additional information.
Sincerely,
Timothy Miller,P.E.,L.S.

Hi Tim,
I was able to look at this. It still don't see how larger storms can be handled.See the spec for the bypass below.Typically,
I see a riser structure at 12" ponding depth. Please provide.Also, I have not seen the calcs that show the 2 and 10 year
storm calculations.This will need to be signed sealed and stamp. I suggest you send me an email copy so I can quickly
review the calcs before you submit for final.
For on-line bioretention:An overflow structure should always be incorporated into on-line designs to safely convey
larger storms through the bioretention area.The following criteria apply to overflow structures:
The overflow associated with the 2 and 10 year design storms should be controlled so that velocities are non-erosive at
the outlet point(i.e.,to prevent downstream erosion).
Common overflow systems within bioretention practices consist of an inlet structure,where the top of the structure is
placed at the maximum water surface elevation of the bioretention area,which is typically 6 to 12 inches above the
surface of the filter bed (6 inches is the preferred ponding depth).
the overflow capture device (typically a yard inlet)should be scaled to the application—this may be a landscape grate
inlet or a commercial-type structure.
The filter bed surface should generally be flat so the bioretention area fills up like a bathtub.
Here are other things to include:
a)VRRM spreadsheet(you are missing some info).
b) bioretention required area is 1024/2.05=499.You just need to fix calcultation.You provided plenty of area so no
need to redo plan.
c) Dimension length. It appears to be 25'
d) Dimension pre-treatment cell. LxW
e)show rip rap to toe on section B-B
f) make clear geotextile fabric in profile
You can call me to discuss. I think it will be easier over the phone.

Hi Tim,
Your spreadsheet looks good. I would print out the tabs (sign, seal and date). Please make it
legible. We have folks that try to squeeze it into one sheet and the text is too small.
See below for 3:1 contours. The smallest contour is at elev 315.5. The circled items appears
to be sloped 3:1 as well but how will you keep stone intact. Label type of stone. Please show
the geotextile fabric underneath stone.
