Subject: The Center at Belvedere — Final Site Development Plan (SDP201800030)
The final site development plan for The Center at Belvedere has been reviewed by Engineering. The
following comments will need to be addressed before approval:
1. VSMP Plan must be approved before final site plan can be approved.
2. The site plan must only contain what is required per Chapter 18-32.6.2 of the county code.
Therefore, erosion & sediment control sheets should be removed from the final site plan.
3. [Section 8 — Design Standards Manual] Slopes steeper than 3:1 must be permanently stabilized
with landscaping vegetation hardier than grass, which will not require mowing. Ensure this is
noted on the landscape plan. Eliminate any slopes steeper than 2:1.
4. Illustrate internal handicap access routes. Include spots to show grading meets requirements.
5. Clearly label the extent of flush curbing vs. CG -6 curbing. Provide a legend if necessary.
6. It appears that changes to the roadway are proposed with this site plan. Changes to the road must
be submitted as a road plan amendment. VDOT approval is also necessary before final site plan
approval.
7. Stream buffer is shown on plan along with improvements/grading in this buffer. Please show
proposed buffer outside of all improvements. The gravel trail can be inside the buffer.
8. Is there an easement or maintenance agreement for the 9' gravel trail?
9. Provide top and bottom elevations of retaining walls on the grading plans.
10. Please show steep slope hatching on grading/layout sheets. Ensure that design standards are
followed for retaining walls in this overlay district (per 18-30.7.5). This includes landscaping
with screening shrubs.
11. Label all entrances with a VDOT designation.
12. Are there any loading or dumpsters areas? If so, clearly designate areas and provide dumpster pad
detail.
13. Please adjust linetypes and shading on Sheet C-104. This is the existing conditions sheet,
however all lines are dark, and appear to be similar to proposed linetypes.
14. Sheet C-106 has a label, "underground utilities to be relocated (by others), but there are no
utilities shown.
15. C-104 appears to show an easement around the storm drains. Please label the deed book and page
number of this easement.
16. Why are slopes of storm drains labeled as negative in the profiles on sheet C-109?
17. Sight distance for middle parking aisle, turning left, at the northern side of parking lot, appears
inadequate. Please refer to Chapter 18-4.12.15 (d) for sight distance within parking lots.
18. Label the width (show dimension on road) of the crossing lines on Sheet C-121, item 13 in the
legend.
