CONSENT AGENDA
a. ARB-2015-24: Mechum’s Trestle Initial Plan - Initial Site Development Plan
(TM/Parcel 057000000031A0)
Proposal: To construct a 4,000 sf restaurant with associated site improvements and a request to
place required frontage landscaping in the right-of-way.
Location: 4294 Three Notch’d Road, at the northwest corner of the intersection of Routes 240 (Three
Notch’d Road), 250 (Ivy Road) and 680 (Browns Gap Turnpike)
Motion to Approve Consent Agenda:
Motion: Mr. Missel moved to approve the consent agenda and forward the recommendations outlined
in the staff report to the Agent for the Site Review Committee, as follows:
• Regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines as per § 18-30.6.4(2), (3) and (5):
1. In areas where wooded area to remain is used to meet perimeter parking lot tree requirements,
identify existing individual large shade trees on the plan by size and species to show that the
minimum requirement can be met.
2. Revise the landscape plan to show a sufficient quantity of trees – proposed and existing to remain
– distributed as necessary throughout the site, to meet frontage, interior parking lot and perimeter
parking lot quantity requirements.
3. Provide 2 additional large shade trees in close proximity to the Rt. 240 property line.
• Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines: None.
• Regarding recommended conditions of initial plan approval: A Certificate of Appropriateness is
required prior to final site plan approval.
1. Revise the demolition plan to coordinate with proposed construction and planting along Rt. 680.
Identify all trees to be removed.
2. Revise the plan to make all existing tree identifications legible.
3. Show tree protection fencing on the plans.
4. Revise the plan to show a treatment for the retaining wall that is coordinated with the proposed
building.
5. Add the standard plant health note to the 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.”
6. Provide a complete plant schedule for review.
7. In areas where wooded area to remain is used to meet perimeter parking lot tree requirements,
identify existing individual large shade trees on the plan by size and species to show that the
minimum requirement can be met.
8. Revise the landscape plan to show a sufficient quantity of trees – proposed and existing to remain
– distributed as necessary throughout the site, to meet frontage, interior parking lot and perimeter
parking lot quantity requirements.
9. Add a medium tree, 2 ½” caliper at planting, in the vicinity of the north end of the sidewalk near the
dumpster.
10. Indicate the height of the electric line that runs along the Rt. 240 side of the property. For those
trees close to the line, choose a species whose mature height will not interfere with the electric line.
11. Provide 2 additional large shade trees in close proximity to the Rt. 240 property line.
12. Show all proposed site and building-mounted light fixtures on a lighting plan and provide all
related details for review.
13. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to both the architectural and site plans: “Visibility of
all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated.”
14. Show the locations of proposed mechanical equipment – both ground- and building-mounted –
and show how visibility of the equipment will be eliminated. Note that the preference is to locate
equipment so that visibility is eliminated without the need to add screening. If/when screening is
needed, it should be fully coordinated with the architecture of the building.
15. Include a dumpster enclosure detail in the plan. Coordinate the material of the enclosure with the
material of the building.
16. Provide architectural designs for review.
• Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit:
1. Show adequate tree protection fencing on, and coordinated throughout, the grading, landscaping
and erosion and sediment control plans.
Mr. Lebo seconded the motion.
The motion carried by a vote of 4:0.

Reviews Comments:1. The proposed development is within the Beaver Creek Dam Inundation Zone for a 12-hour PMF
with a dam breach. The dam was recently upgraded to high-hazard based on an analysis of
inundation areas, and it was determined that the spillway will require upgrades to meet current DCR
Dam Safety Regulations.
2. The proposed development is downstream of the Lickinghole Creek Dam; however, a recent dam
breach analysis (currently under review by DCR) showed that a culvert under the CSX railroad
downstream of the dam (upstream of the proposed restaurant) limits the amount of flow that passes
downstream. Due to this constriction and the relatively small size of the impounded reservoir, a
breach of the dam would have a negligible impact on flooding during a 100-year storm and would not
flood any existing or proposed structures in the event of a sunny day breach.
3. The existing force main must be pressure tested and approved prior to the development going
online.
4. From available information, it is unclear whether the previous owner obtained an easement for the
4” force main when it was installed. The applicant should obtain easements as necessary to operate
and maintain the sewer force main.

Re: SDP-2015-00059 Spring Hill Village Initial Site Plan
Dear Ms. Falkenstein,
We have reviewed the initial site plan for Spring Hill Village dated 12/7/15 as submitted by
Terra Concepts and offer the following comments:
1. A sight line easement needs to be provided on the commercial parcel located at the
intersection Roads A and C.
2. A sight line easement needs to be provided on the main park parcel located at the
intersection of Roads A and C. It appears that several trees will obstruct available sight
distance as currently designed.
3. Has Emergency Services approved the 35' radius for the cul-de-sac of Road B?
4. A sight line easement needs to be provided across Lot 70 and Pocket Park#3 to ensure
adequate sight distance for the intersection of Roads B and C.
5. A sight line profile needs to be provided to show the impact of the retaining walls on the
available sight distance at the intersection of Roads B and C.
6. Pavement design calculations need to be provided for review.
7. The typical street section for Road B shows an option for on-street parking on one side of
the road. The plan should indicate which side of the road parking will be allowed.
8. The road profiles should show the station and elevation of each intersecting roadway.
9. The K-values for crest and sag curves do not meet the minimum K-values for a design
speed of 25 mph.
10. It appears that standard CD-1's are required at approximately stations 10+50, 10+60,
16+80, and 18+60 of Road A.
11. It appears that standard CD-1's are required at approximately stations 10+30, 11+40, and
16+50 of Road B.
12. There appears to be low area in the curb and gutter at the intersection of Roads A and C
that will not drain. The area is on the northern side of the intersection going into the
parking area in front of lots 42-53.
13. Storm structure B2 does not appear to be located at the low point based on contours
provided.
14, Spot elevations should be provided along the curb and centerline of Avon Street
Extended at the intersection with Road A to better define where surface runoff will flow
to.
15. The waterline in the intersection of Roads A and C currently call for 2 bends. Can the
waterline be aligned differently to eliminate the need for one of the bends? Each bend
creates the potential for a leak to develop in the future.
16. Can the valves to the fire hydrant assemblies be located behind the curb or in the planting
strip?
17. Hydraulic calculations and storm sewer profiles need to be provided for review.
If you need additional information concerning this project,please do not hesitate to contact me at
(434)422-9782.
