The engineer, who is no longer involved with the project, failed to provide a plan for landscaping the entrance drive to the project. Further, that engineer selected plants that would not survive in our climate. I am submitting Pine Knoll Construction, Inc. drawing sheet 10-1 to reflect the landscaping plan for the entrance. Pine Knoll Construction, Inc. drawing sheet 10-2 is submitted to change the plant schedule originally submitted on Bowman Consulting sheet 28 of 28.

Our File No. 675.001 Enclosed please find a revised plat and cover memo from Bowman Consulting responding to Planning Staff s last set of comments. After you have reviewed the enclosed, I believe you will agree that all County comments have been sufficiently addressed and this plat is now ready for approval signature by the County. In addition to the above, the owner understands the County's concerns about some townhouse projects in Frederick County where the garage is not being used for the parking of vehicles. As you know, the project that is proposed at Regents Crescent is a high end condominium project and our market research indicates that the garages will be used to garage vehicles. To further strengthen this, however, this is to confirm this project will have not only a condominium association, but also restrictive covenants, that will provide that the garages cannot be modified to make them unusable for the storage of vehicles. This will be a restriction that runs with the land enforceable by the owners of the condominium units, as well as the condominium association. Thank you for all of your assistance and cooperation in the approval of this plat. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to gil Bowman Consulting or me a call.

"On Sheet 3 of 26, extend a five foot wide sidewalk, along both sides of Trafalgar Square, from Chelsea Circle to US 522, with the correct sidewalk layer. " Response: We have extended the 4' sidewalk on the right side of Trafalgar Square to Rte. 522 and added a 4' sidewalk to Rte. 522 along the other side of Trafalgar Square.

"On Sheet 3 of 26, please include a new sheet with a 1: 30 scale without the topographic layer. " Response: Per our conversation with the Frederick County Planning Department we will not be adding an additional sheet to the plan set. 11. "On Sheet 3 of 26, ensure that the length of driveways will not cause a parked vehicle to block the sidewalk. " Response: The length of the driveways have been checked. The driveways are 20' long from the face of curb to the garage door. With a 4' wide sidewalk located 2.5' from th ; face of curb there is still 13.5' of driveway for parking. 12. "On Sheet 3 of 26, the recreation area north of Trafalgar Square needs to be in the Residential Peiforinance (RP) zoning district. " Response: The recreation area has been moved as requested.

" Response: Our parking computations are accurate. We have counted the parking spaces as follows; one parking space in the garage and one in the driveway of each townhouse. This total is equal to eighty-four spaces. Additionally, we have provided thirty-six off-street parking spaces per the guidelines outlined in Section 165-27(8)A of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. The total number of spaces provided for the towrthomes is 120 spaces. We have provided 44 parking spaces for the single family homes.

COUNTY of FREDERICK Department of Public Works 540/665-5643 FAX: 540/678-0682 March 14, 2005 Mr. Clay Frook Bowman Consulting Group, LTD 124 East Cork Street Winchester, Virginia 22601 RE: Subdivision Plan Comments - Regents Crescent Frederick County, Virginia Dear Mr. Frook: Upon review of the subject subdivision plan, we offer the following comments: 1) The plan indicates stormwater pond water surface elevations for the existing pond located on the Westminster Canterbury property. Also, the stormwater report indicates flow rates for the two, ten and 100-year storm events. I- owever, these numbers do not match the stormwater management report for this pond as designed in 200 1 Ensure that the flow rates in your design are accurate to properly route the stormwater through the proposed site. 2) On Page 3 of 23, complete the labeling for cross-section A -A. 3) On Page 4 of 23, ten (10) foot storm sewer easements are indicated. Easements of this size .would be extremely difficult to maintain. The county requires a 20 foot dedicated easement to allow access for required maintenance. Therefore, the plan shall be revised to include 20 foot easements. 4) Provide a ditch along the eastern portion of the site to contain post -developed stormwater run -oft onsite and allow it to drain into the proposed stormwater pond. 5) The plan indicates a 2:1 slope for the proposed stormwater pond. Mowing 2:1. slopes is difficult at best; therefore, provide recommendations for the type of permanent stabilization or possible alternatives to be utilized onsite. In addition, provide a maintenance schedule. 6) Ensure that proposed culvert inlets 117.4 and 12 will not cause a backwater 107 North Kent Street • Winchester, Virginia 22601-5000 Regents Crescent Comments Page 2 Nlarch 14, 2005 condition in the event of a 100-year storm event on the Westminster Canterbury property. If it is determined that the flows front a 100-year storm event will back Lip onto the Westminster Canterbury property, recorded drainage easements will be required. Also, ensure that the water routed front culvert 7.4 does not impact the flow rate from the existing pond located on the Westminster Canterbury property. 7) On Page 5 of'23, the proposed grading plan indicates the foundations will be placed on controlled, compacted fill. Place a Mote oil the plait that indicates that It will be necessary to submit geotecllilical cilgllleel'lilg reports for the controlled fill contained oil all lots at the time of building permit application. 8) The proposed pond design indicates an emergency spillway located along the eastern portion of the pond. However, if water from a 100-year storm event flows through the spillway, it will most definitely impact the Strowbridge residence and associated property as well as the existing Autumn Lane. Consequently, it will be necessary to revise the proposed pond design to incorporate the necessary measures to prevent the Strowbridge property from being impacted by a 100-year storm event. Additional geotechilical engineering certification, slope stability studies, etc. shall be required for construction Of the proposed pond because Of -'tile downstream proximity of'the existing home. Please consider relocating the proposed pond closer to Route 522. Tllis relocation could provide an additional safety factor in the event of'a pond failure. Provide a channel to accommodate the 100-year storm event flows discharge from the pond to existing channel located along Route 522. 9) Indicate the routing ofthe existing storm flows in the channel located along Route 522 in the stormwater report to ensure that the time of concentration fi-om the proposed site does not worsen the flooding condition for the culvert located under aUtl nin Lane. Provide a colllprellellSlVe analysis of the culvert labeled point 5, the routing of the different reaches, timing of peak discharges and water Surface elevatiolls. 10) The stornlwater report shall provide a detailed summary of the proposed discharges fi-om the pond. Additionally, on Sheet 15, o17233, note 10(13) references a Happy Creek Knolls, Section II Home Owners' Association for maintenance. Also, the erosion and sediment control narrative on Sheet 18 of 23 references this same project which is located in the Town of Front Royal. It is doubtful that Front Royal would want to maintain anything located ill Frederick C.011ilty. Consequently, revise the narrative to reflect the site in Frederick County and pertain to the proposed project. 1 1) The 100-year storm event total rain{'all depth for Frederick County shall be revised Regents Crescent Comments Page 3 March 14, 2005 to 8.0 inches, not 6 inches as indicated in accordance with the TR-55 rainfall chart, Figure B-8. Re -analyze and revised the calculations based on the revised rainfall amount. 12) A sediment basin is indicated on Sheet 16 Of 23. Provide a comprehensive design and details for the sediment basin in accordance with the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook standard 3.14. The plan proposes discharging the sediment nun -off onto the Fincham property as a point source. Provide an adequate outfall for the concentrated flow which corresponds to the area in the location of the proposed stormwater pond. 13) The pre -developed CN values for the site shall be based on the actual soil type for the project. Based on the soils onsite, an appropriate value would be a CN of 55. Provide a comprehensive analysis of the runoff curve number to verify the proposed numbers. There are numerous other review comments; however, we will not perform a more comprehensive review of these plans until major revisions have been made to more fully comply with the county's requirements. We are requesting that you contact this office to schedule a meeting to discuss these comments. Sincerely, Joe C.

Please address the following comments: 1. Proposed Recreational Units: According to the master plan for this project, two recreational units are required for this project. The master -plan states that these units will provide pedestrian circulation, active recreational equipment and passive recreational equipment and facilities.

You must also provide a detail in association with this proposed trail. 3. Townhouse Setbacks: Please provide setback information from each townhouse end unit to the limits of the parcel line. 4. Lot Requirements: The Master Plan for Regents Crescent calls for no subdivision of individual lots. However, it states that each proposed single-family detached residence shall be designed to the specifications of the single-family cluster housing option as specified in section 165-65 D of the Frederick County Zoning Ordinance. This requires you to actually place the required 10,000 or 8,000 square foot lots around each home site. 5. Open Space Calculation: Per continent #4, you must recalculate the open space requirement based on these new lot configurations.
