Engineering —Matthew Wentland
1. The SWM easement plat and deed will need to be recorded. Also, include the updated layout on the asbuilts when
they are submitted. Rev 4. Comment addressed, item recorded.
ARB — Paty Saternye
1) An amendment to the ARB Certificate of Appropriateness has been submitted and is under review. This
amendment must be approved prior to Final Site Plan approval.
2) There are conflicts between landscaping and the new alignment of utilities and their easements. Either realign the
utilities if possible, or adjust the landscaping if necessary, to avoid the conflicts while still meeting the ARB
landscaping requirements. This includes sewer, water and stormwater pipes and their easement. There are
evergreen screening trees, some of which will be 8' at the time of planting, directly on top of the sanitary sewer
line along the northern edge of the property.
3) Some of the required street trees, along Berkmar Drive, are now just within the proposed sight distance easement.
If VDOT will not allow these trees in the easement they will need to be adjusted to be outside of the easement,
while still meeting the ARB landscaping requirement.
VDOT — Adam Moore
Approval received.
ACSA — Alex Morrison
Alex is approving the construction plans and does not anticipate any changes to the site plan. Will move forward with
signature request email.

Comments pending, to be forwarded once received.
ACSA — Alex Morrison
They have resubmitted directly to me and it is under review (construction plan review). RWSA had some comments on the
final site plan. I am no longer requesting a connection to the 12" in lieu of the 30". I am hoping to wrap up my review next
week, but will need RWSA approval before I input mine. Comments pending, to be forwarded once received.
RWSA — Victoria Fort
RWSA has reviewed the site plan for Better Living Berkmar Drive (SDP 2016-062) as prepared by Shimp Engineering and
dated 5/11/2017 and has the following comments:
Sheet C4 of 16
1. Show the existing RWSA 15' utility easement on the property (sent previously via email).
2. ACSA has requested that the new 6" water connection be made onto the 12" RWSA water main along the southern
boundary of the parcel, rather than across the road on the 30" RWSA main as shown. RWSA takes no issue with
this change if the developer and ACSA wish to proceed in this manner. Note that the exact location and depth of
the water main are not known. If this change is made, notes on sheets C4 & C9 should be revised accordingly to
reflect the change in tap size (from 30"x6" to 12"x6").
3. Please note that the maximum HGL for the 12" RWSA water main is 795', which could result in high pressures on
site. Refer to ACSA's guidelines for reducing pressures down to an acceptable range.
Sheet C10 of 16
1. Show and label the existing RWSA 12" CIP waterline along Seminole Trail
