Engineering review comments:
General (items 1-7):
1. Since Applicant will provide a stand-alone VSMP plan set, remove sheets 4, 5, 6, 7, and 17 only from the
Final Site Plan. See VSMP plan review comments, WPO201800026, Caliber Collision VSMP, sent via

d. Label and provide dimension for walkway fronting Avon Street Ext., if walkway proposed.
e. Provide Note that dry pond will be posted: ‘No Trespassing; occasional drowning hazard,’ since
sump depth during 10-yr event may approach 6.46’.
f. Provide several entrance width dimensions that can be easily correlated to sidewalk, face of island,
west /interior end of island, etc.
g. Provide (with Final Site Plan) VDOT GC-12 label for ramp N of entrance.
h. Show SWM facility maintenance, access, and drainage easements, with deed book-page reference.
11. Sheet 9

12. Sheet 10: Delete Type ‘A’ C&G and ‘G’ curb detail; use VDOT standards; provide VDOT CG-7 detail.
13. Sheet 16:
a. Provide asphalt or concrete curb upslope of dumpster enclosure to prevent cross-lot drainage
entering enclosure and picking up contaminants. With curb design, ensure positive drainage to
avoid trapped or standing water.
b. Show 4’ wall flume outfall protection (riprap; 2-year velocity)
14. Sheet 18:
a. Line 1, 2: Revise F.E.S. to read Flared End Section, if flared end section specified.

description of Anti-vortex device with this detail.
b. Trash Rack Detail: Provide and show manway access via trash rack to detention pond riser, for
periodic maintenance inspection.
c. Energy Dissipator Detail: Specify outfall protection riprap stone size.
d. Energy Dissipator Detail: Confirm 12” PVC pipe sleeve drain diameter is accurate.
16. Sheet 20: Ensure plantings (6 AB; 12 NPH) at NE corner of building do not impede 100’ sight distance for
vehicles entering /exiting parking area. Consider pedestrian conflicts.
Update: Comment revised. Provide Note on plans that specifies a height range to be kept clear of obstacles
(including plant material, which may require pruning branches below a certain height) to ensure 100’ sight
distance at this location.
17. CIP1:Albemarle County (Building) Code Official: “State building code requires building permits when the
wall retains three or more feet of unbalanced fill. We, the bldg. dept require engineered design when that wall
is 4 or more feet in addition to a building permit.” Engineering recommends (CIP1-CIP3):
a. Coordinate building permit for retaining walls with Community Development, Building
Inspections Division.
Update: Comment revised. Note: Applicant confirms that any required application for a building
permit for retaining walls, including engineered design, if required, will be submitted to County
Building Inspections Division with the primary structure building permit application.
b. Cast-in-Place Concrete Retaining Wall, Note (#):
i. (11.) Extend sentence, Add, ‘prior to pouring concrete, and reports shall be provided to

Revise sheets R1-R13 per Engineering, VDOT, Planning, or Fire-Rescue comments.
a. Requires VDOT Approval.
b. Check Pavement Design (R2/ISP sheet 2): Show calculations, Dr, Dp. Formula yields Dr =20.69;
Dp =18.975. Revise Dp to provide ≥ Dr. Feel free to call reviewer to discuss. (Base calculations on
VDOT Pavement Design Guide for Subdivision and Secondary Roads in Virginia, rev. Feb 2014).
c. Formula (ADT =5,500; SSV =4):
19. Provide plan sheet with accurate scale (similar to RP sheet 4) that shows positioning of MUTCD traffic
controls with locations, and spacing distances. Sheet TC-3 cannot be used to easily or clearly evaluate work
zone traffic control protection set-up.
