Daniel – thank you for the resubmission – it appears all of the P&D comments have been addressed.
For the decommissioning estimate provided, we need written confirmation from Public Works it is “acceptable.”
In their comment letter/approval, I did not see that confirmation.
For final Zoning Administrator approval, we need hard copies, a digital copy of the final site plan & digital copies
all agency comments (including PW approval of the estimate).
Please proceed with assembling the final requests. If there are any additional questions, please let me know.
Best,
Tyler

Subject: RE: Red Bud Run Solar Project - site plan review comments
Daniel – good morning. Staff has reviewed the resubmission revised 10/20/2022; the following comments
include those still outstanding from our 7/27/2022 letter and new comments from staff.
Comment # 4: The Frederick County Zoning Ordinance does not contain a parking standard for
“utilities.” Absent a standard, we reference to the Planners Advisory Service (PAS) – Parking Standards
(2002) for a comparable example. The designer should include 1 parking space per vehicle anticipated
for service of equipment at or nearby the proposed “Collection Equipment.” The spaces should meet the
parking space size requirements contained in §165-202.01(D)(9). The designer may propose an
alternative parking standard for review by the Zoning Administrator. The parking standard should be
noted on Sheet 2 along with the number of spaces proposed; parking spaces should be clearly labeled
on subsequent sheets (§165-802.03(B)(2)).
The response from the applicant provided does not address the comment; the parking spaces need to
be demarcated outside of the travel way (per §165-202.01(D)(2)).
Comment #5: Label future Route 37 as “Future Route 37 Right-of-Way” on all applicable sheets (Sheets
3, 6, 15, 18, 22, 26A, 28).
The response from the applicant provided does not address the comment. The ROW is shown but not
labeled, as requested in the comment letter.
New Comment #1: On Sheet 28, specify the total number of plants for each species type provided
(§165-802.03(B)(5)).
New Comment #2: A comment sheet/approval should be provided from Frederick Water given the
proximity of the “20’ sanitary easement”
Once you have addressed the above comments, resubmit one (1) hard copy plus a $500 fee check for a third
submission (Frederick County Development Review Fee Schedules, rev. 12/11/2019).
For final approval we will need five (5) complete hard copies, the final decommissioning cost estimate, and a
digital copy of the plans plus digital copies of all review agency comment letters.
Should you have any additional questions, please let me know. Thank you.

Daniel,
A VDOT review has been conducted for the Redbud Run Solar Project Site Plan,
signature dated January 9, 2023. Based off of the review of the Drawings, all of the
previous VDOT comments have been addressed and the Site Plan is approved by
our office. Please ensure that all applicable agencies have the most recent set of
approved Drawings.
We offer the following general comments:
Our review and comments are general in nature. Should details be overlooked
during plan review or conditions in the field exist such that additional measures
are warranted, such measures shall be completed to the satisfaction of the
department.
Materials used and methods of construction shall adhere to the current
observed VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications, Road and Bridge Standards,
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, and Land Use Permit Special
Provisions.
A preconstruction conference shall be held by the engineer and/or the
developer with the attendance of the contractor, various County agencies, utility
companies, and VDOT prior to initiation of work.
All drainage is to be carried within the right-of-way in ditch lines or gutters along
the street to a pipe or drainage easement.
Any construction related changes to the approved plan must come through the
design engineer to VDOT for approval. Please allow a minimum of 5 business
days for VDOT review.
A Land Use Permit shall be obtained before any work is performed on the
State’s right-of-way. The permit is issued by this office and may require
application fees, the salary & expenses of a State assigned inspector, and
surety bond coverage.
