RE: County Position Regarding Coventry Courts
Dear Chuck:
COUNTY of FREDERICK
Department of Planning and Development
703/665-5651
FAX 703/678-0682
As promised at our meeting yesterday, I am putting the County's position concerning the
Coventry Courts Development in writing in an effort to clarify any confusion.
There is an approved Master Development Plan for the Coventry Courts project. This
Preliminary MDP was approved by the Board of Supervisors on February 13, 1991, and
received final approval on June 20, 1991. There was a subdivision submitted which went to the
Planning Commission and received preliminary approval, however, there was never a final
subdivision plat submitted, signed, or recorded.
Section 144-13 of the County's Subdivision Ordinance states, in part, that "Failure to file the
final plats within this time (six months) shall make approval of the subdivision design plan null
and void." It is therefore our position that the subdivision plan was never approved and is not
vested. This means that current subdivision requirements, including sidewalks if the
development contains lots under 15,000 square feet, would now be required.
I hope this helps to clarify any uncertainty regarding this matter.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

Re: Coventry Courts Subdivision
Dear Mr. Tierney,
I am writing to you about the Farmington Boulevard connection
between Coventry Courts and Abrams Pointe. There are so many
unresolved issues in relation to this connection, that it is
impossible for us to move forward on this project in any way.
Because of our personal circumstances we have explored the
possibility of selling the property. We have received an offer,
through an agent, but the deal cannot progress until we have
specific answers to some questions I will pose to you. We ran into
the same sort of difficulties when we attempted to solicit bids for
construction ourselves.
The agent who brought us the offer talked to the project
manager for the owners of Abrams Pointe, who told him that they
have no interest in the connection. The decisions that have been
made by the Planning Commission have literally put control of our
property into the hands of James Bowman, Fred Glaize, and their
associates; we cannot construct our portion of the connection
until such time as they choose to construct theirs, because of the
amount of fill required on their side. It is also not feasible to�
maintain a bond indefinitely so that construction can commence.
Both we and our engineers have appealed to various county
officials to assist in working out this conflict, however, we were
continually told we would have to come to agreement with Chuck
Maddox. Our engineers met with Mr. Maddox and proposed to move the
road approximately 150 feet north of the present location, Mr.
Maddox said he would not move his road one foot, and insisted we
comply with his plan rather than to work out a fair compromise.
When I talked to Robert Childress of VDOT on December 4, 1991,
he confirmed Mr. Maddox's assertion that he, Mr. Maddox, had a
dully approved set of plans for Abrams Pointe, that showed a cul de
sac at thei`rend of Farmington Boulevard and a right of way, but no
engineering for the connection between the two developments.
In order to clarify our position and to work out the problems,
I need specific answers to the following questions:
(1) Has the situation changed, are engineering plans
for the Abrams Pointe side of the connection now
available?
-=(2) If there are now approved drawings for the Abrams
Pointe side of the connection, may we have a copy?
(3) If the engineering is not in place for the Abrams
Pointe side of the connection, will they be allowed
to begin construction without it?
(4) Will the developers be allowed to begin construction on
the Abrams Pointe project without bonding the road
connection, or if a bond is required, will the bond
remain in place until the construction on the connection
is completed, even if completion cannot be achieved for
an indefinite period of time because Coventry Courts is
not yet developed?
-,.(5) Are the developers of Abrams Pointe required to construct
the road connection, or are they permitted to
construct according to the plans which show only
a cul de sac at that point?
(6) If the Abrams Pointe developers are required to construct
the connection on Farmington Boulevard, may we have a
copy of the Planning Commission action which requires it?
��,: (7 ) If the developers of Abrams Pointe are not required to
construct the connection of Farmington Boulevard to their
property line, how will the situation be handled? That
is, will we also be allowed to construct only to the cul
de sac without a bond?
(8) Who takes responsibility for the Abrams Pointe side of
the road connection, if the developers are not required
to do it?
(9) Why was the Abrams Pointe development passed without
\'= the requirement of construction of the connection with
Coventry Courts, when the decision to make Farmington
Boulevard a thru road was made before Abrams Pointe
was approved?
The construction of this road has no benefit for us and has
greatly devalued our property. To have so many unanswered
questions about the engineering and responsibilities for the
construction of the crossing connecting Coventry Courts with the
adjoining development, make the development of our property nearly
impossible.
Some how, all of these questions must be answered, and the
problems worked out. We will appreciate your help in resolving the
difficulties in this situation.
Sincerely,
Charles C. Longer

MEMORANDUM
TO: John R. Riley, Jr., County Administrator
FROM: Wayne Miller, Zoning AdministratorP&
SUBJECT: Coventry Courts
DATE: September 2, 1992
The following is a sequential chain of significant events leading
up to the approval of the Coventry Courts Subdivision. This
subdivision for 38 single family lots on 14.5329 acres has been
approved by the Planning Commission and is pending final
administrative approval. The final approval cannot occur until the
developer submits final plats, bonding, deed of dedication and
addresses several conditions that were placed on the Planning
Commission approval.
1. Preliminary Master Development Plan #004-90 was submitted
to the Planning Commission for their consideration on April
18, 1990. This plan was for townhouses to be located on this
property. Mr. Thomas Davis of Dove & Associates represented
the application and requested that it be tabled since the
staff recommendation was for denial based on the lack of a
through connection to Greenwood Road from the JASBO property
to the west. Staff noted that the need for an eventual
connection to Greenwood Road -is indicated in the County's
Transportation Plan. Also, the connection was of a concern to
the Virginia Department of Transportation. The plan was
tabled until the May 2, 1990 meeting.
2. Preliminary Master Development Plan #004-90 of Coventry
Courts for townhouses was again considered on May 2, 199$B.
Although the revised plan incorporated the through connection
with Greenwood Road and the property to the west, the Planning
Commission tabled the item until all review agency comments
were addressed and the plan redesigned for single family
detached dwellings only.
3. Revised Master Development Plan #004-90 was considered by
the Commission on January 16, 1991. Mr. Edward W. Dove
represented the developer and stated that they believed the
plan was now compatible with the neighborhood since it was now
designed to be 3S single family detached homes. This plan was

Coventry Courts Memo
September 2, 1992
unanimously approved with the staff recommendation to allow
the plan to exceed the standards of disturbed steep slopes (up
to 35%) and wooded areas (up to 40%) at the staff's
discretion.
4. The Master Development Plan #004-90 for Coventry Courts was
presented to the Board of Supervisors on February 13, 1991 and
was approved with the conditions recommended by the Planning
Commission.
5. The subdivision application for Coventry Courts was
presented to the Planning Commission on December 4, 1991.
This plan was approved with the following conditions:
a. All review agency comments must be adequately
addressed.
b. The developer must commit to installation of the
culverts in the Farmington Boulevard extended area and
construction of the storm water detention facility in this
area.
c. The developer must provide information to prove that
lots 24, 25, 26 and 38 are buildable lots.
d. The developer must submit individual lot site/grading
plans for lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26,
27, 28, 29, 30 and 38. If lots are sold to other builders,
the developer will be responsible for providing the new owner
with the site/grading plan.
e. This entire project will be bonded prior to final
plat approval. Bonding will cover the Farmington Boulevard
extension and culvert installation.
In reference to item c. above, a note on the plan stated that
construction on lot 26 would be achieved only through fills
and retaining walls. There also appears to be a requirement
for filling to permit building on the additional listed lots.
The requirement for site/grading plans for the lots listed in
item d. above is driven by the fact that this development is
in an area of steep slopes and clearing limits further
restrict the available building area on many lots. In
conjunction with the steep slopes, engineering evaluation and
high potential for drainage and storm water management
problems dictate stringent control and requirements.
I will be available to answer any questions or provide you with
additional information.

Coventry Courts RMDP
Staff Comment Sheet
Page -2-
County Consulting Engineer:
1990.
Planning & Development:
See letter dated November 16,
A MDP for this parcel came before the Commission in April of
1990, at which time the matter was tabled. The Commission
indicated at that time that they would not be inclined to.
approve a MDP for anything other than single family
development. The current proposal is for 38 single-family
detached dwellings on the 14.5 acre parcel. This housing
type and density is consistent with the RP zoning of the
parcel and the direction of the Commission at the April
meeting.
A second area of concern with the previous proposal was the
lack of a through connection to the approved Abrams Point
development to the west of this parcel. The current proposal
shows this connection and neither VDOT or our engineer
indicate a problem at this time.
Changes Needed
Cluster lots require an equivalent square footage be added to
the required open space for any lot under 10,000 square feet.
The open space indicated on the MDP lacks over 9,000 square
feet of the open space needed, given the number of lots below
10,000 square feet.
The area of steep slopes which is indicated to be disturbed
exceeds the maximum 25% allowed by the ordinance by more than
an acre. The total acreage indicated as disturbed does not
appear to include the area required to be cleared for
individual home sites. This would increase the total over
what is now indicated. Some of the lots shown on the plan are
totally within the steep slope area, while a number of others
have a large portion of their area in steep slopes.
The woodland area to be disturbed also exceeds the maximum
allowed by nearly one and a half acres. Home sites do not
appear to be included in this figure either.
t
Additional Information Required
Information as to how woodland and steep slopes will be
treated on lots which lay within these areas.
Location of open space needs to be clearly indicated as well
as location of environmental areas that will be disturbed.
Information on how stormwater management is to be handled
needs to be provided.
The need for turn lanes at the intersection of Greenwood and
the new through road to Abrams Point should be addressed.
All information requested by review agencies.
Staff Recommendation 1/16/91: Approval with corrections being made
to the layout, such that maximum permitted disturbance to steep
slopes and woodland area are not exceeded, and that all review
agency and staff comments are addressed.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS OF 1/16/91: Approved with
staff recommendations and the following conditions:
1. Calculation of amount of open space required to
compensate for lots below 10,000 square foot must be
indicated on the plan. This amount is in addition to the
base required for cluster lots.
2. Information on the handling of stormwater needs to be
provided on the plan.
3. The location and amount of woodland and steep slope areas
as defined by the Zoning Ordinance need to be shown. The
Planning Commission has granted a waiver of the limits
set by the Ordinance to permit only that excess
disturbance necessary to construct the connector road to
Abrams -Point and in no case to exceed 35% of the steep
slopes -or 40% of the woodland area. This should be
clearly indicated on the plan.
4. All other review agency comments must be adequately
addressed.

Va. Department of Transportation: See attached letter dated
August 15, 1991 from Robert B. Childress.
Inspections Department: This request for subdivision
approval shall comply to Use Group "R", Residential, Section
309.0, of the BOCA National Building Code 111990"
Fire Marshal: In the easement to the tot lot is the opening
to an underground storm drain. As shown, access to the tot
lot cannot be made without crossing this storm water area.
This creates a very dangerous situation for small children.
Past incidents involving children and high water clearly
demonstrates the potential for serious problems with this
design. This ditch/pipe arrangement was not shown on the
master development plan that this agency reviewed on
11/27/90. See additional comments, attached.
OA
Sanitation Authority: Third review approved as noted - two
items.
County Engineer: See attached letter date April 5, 1991,
from Paul Bernard. Also see memo from Ed Strawsnyder,
Frederick County Engineer, dated September 16, 1991 and
attached letter to Tom Davis, Dove and Associates, from Mr.
Strawsnyder dated November 1, 1991.
Parks & Recreation: See attached, dated April 2, 1991, from
James M. Doran.
Planning & Zoning: There are two exceptions where this
subdivision plan is not in conformance with the approved
Master Development Plan. These exceptions are the two storm
drainage easements and their attendant structures. These
are required by VDOT since the system traverses what will
eventually become their right of way so this addition is
considered necessary. Commission approval for this
deviation is recommended.
The temporary turn around at the northwest end of
Farmington Boulevard would normally be located at the
extreme of the property boundary. The depicted turn
around is planned short of the boundary since taking it
all the way would require about 30 feet of fill to
bring the surface level up to that required. Since it
will not encroach on any lot, this location is
acceptable. The developer will be required to
dedicate, and eventually complete, the street all the
way to the property line. VDOT has advised that they
will bond this section to insure that the developer
will be held responsible for completion of the street
in a timely manner. This development will be built in
three phases. The developer intends to build phases
two and three prior to building phase one. The storm
water management plan is approved only for phases two
and three. A storm water management plan for phase one
must be submitted and approved prior to any
construction in phase one. A separate E&S Plan will be
required for the installation of the culverts under
Farmington Boulevard due to the off site work that will
be required. Appropriate easements must also be
obtained. Bonding for phase one and the construction
of the extension of Farmington Boulevard should be
required prior to the start of any construction in this
development.
On sheet 11 of 11 of this plan the detail for construction
of the extension of Farmington Boulevard and the culvert
installation that will be required to connect this road
3
across the ravine to Abrams Pointe is shown. A comment on
this sheet states "All proposed work shown hereon is future
construction and is not a part of the construction during
Coventry Courts development." Exception is taken to this
statement since this connection will be required to be made
by the developer and it will be part of this development
construction.
Two review agencies commented about the lack of
entrance into the open space at the southwest perimeter
of the property where the tot lot and picnic area are
located. The developer has amended the plan to show
easements in three locations to provide this access.
These easements are between lots 13 and 14, 36 and 37
and 15 and 16. These easements should be marked with
signage so residents know where the access points are.
A major portion of this development is in an area of
steep slopes and clearing limits further restrict the
available building area on many lots. The County
Engineer has recommended that an individual site plan
be submitted for lots 25 through 29. Because of the
steep slopes, engineering evaluation and high potential
for storm water drainage problems, we recommend that
individual lot site plans/grading plans be submitted by
the developer for lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17, 18,
19, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 38.
Lots 25, 26, 27 and 38 are questionable as to their
suitability as a building lots. A note on the plan
states that construction on lot 26 will be achieved
only through major fills and retaining walls. A
stability analysis would be required since fill will be
necessary to prepare these lots for building. This lot
is also significantly impacted by the drainage easement
and drainage way located on the lot. As a practical
matter, it will probably be cost prohibitive to develop
these lots. _A significant portion of lot 38 is located
in the storm water detention facility. It is doubtful
that anyone would want to own a lot under that
circumstance. It would be reasonable to require the
developer to provide information that would prove that
these lots are in fact suitable building lots.
The driveways off of the streets will be an upslope on
all of the lots in this development except lots 24, 25
and 26. The steepest of these will be approximately a
12% grade which is approaching the upper safe limit for
driveways.
Erosion and Sedimentation control will be critical
during the construction grading of this development.
4
Effort must be made to insure all E&S protection is
maintained and early stabilization of disturbed areas
should -be required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 12/04/91 MTG: Approval with the
following conditions and/or requirements being complied with
prior to final plat approval:
1. All review agency comments must be adequately
addressed.
2. The developer must commit to installation of the
culverts in the Farmington Boulevard extended area and
construction of the storm water detention facility in
this area.
3. The developer must provide information to prove that
lots 24, 25, 26 and 38 are buildable lots.
4. The developer must submit individual lot
site/grading plans for lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17,
18, 19, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 38. If lots
that are required to have individual site plans are
sold to other builders, the developer will be
responsible for providing the new owner with the
site/grading plan.
5. This entire project will be bonded prior to final plat
approval. Bonding will cover the Farmington Boulevard
extension and culvert installation.

Dear Tom:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your revised plans dated July 16, 1991 to
the above referenced location. The plans appear satisfactory and are
approved. Please advise the developer accordingly.
I offer the following comments:
mnents:
• A preconstruction conference be held by the engineer and/or developer with
the attendance of the contractor, various County agencies and VDOT shall be
cow prior to initiation of work.
• Materials used and method of construction shall apply to current observed
VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications applicable during construction of this
development.
• Our review and comments are general in nature. Should conditions in the
field exist such that additional measures are warranted, such measures shall
be completed to the satisfaction of the Department prior to inclusion into
the Secondary Road System.
Attached is a copy of the minimum requirements and information needed prior
to acceptance of subdivision streets into the Secondary System. This is the
responsibility of the developer.
• 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.
• The contractor shall notify VDOT when work is to begin or cease for any
undetermined length of time. VDOT will also require (forty-eight) 48 hours
notice for inspections.
• The appropriate land use permits shall be obtained before any work is
performed on the State's right-of-way. These permits will require a minimum
processing fee plus the salary and expenses of a State assigned Inspector.
• If mailboxes are to be placed along the roadway fronting lots, a minimum of
four (41) feet shall be between the edge of pavement and the front of
mailbox as shown on the attached sketch.

Private entrances will be installed in accordance to the attached sketch.
This is the developer's responsibility.
• Any signs to be installed will be in accordance with attachments.
• I suggest any utilities and/or storm sewer placed within the proposed
right-of-way be backfilled canpletely with C.R. Type 21 A Stone. This will
greatly reduce the possibility of any pavement settlement.
Should you need additional information, do not hesitate to call.

Dear Wayne,
I have reviewed the above plans and offer the following comments:
A. EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION
1. The E & S narrative was placed on the plans, however, there are a few
issues it needs to incorporate: OA?41`
O ,once Dwelurface is denuded, it is to be brought
to final grade as quickly as possible and stabilized.00 N
Areas denuded are to be either permanently or temporarily
stabilized within seven (7) days.
c) The inspection and maintenance of E & S measures needs to be
addressed.
d) Stock piles of soil material are to be stabilized or protected
with sediment traps.
e) The removal of measures when the surface has been stabilized
needs to be discussed.
2. Sediment traps or basins need to be used at the outfall locations
prior to discharging to .the creek.
3. The stability of the ditch sections is questionable. Velocities may
be the limits of the soil types in the area. Check dams will
during construction. (The use of ditches in this
_subdwu"son are not recommended.

B. GRADING, DRAINAGE, AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
1. The grading for.the building lots will be significant and in most
cases critical. I recommend that lot grading plans or a master
grading plan be required prior to building permit release for
housing.
2. The use of ditch sections for lots this dense is inappropriate.
Drainage complaints for surface run-off problems within the County
have been excessive. I recommend curb and gutters. The slope of some
of these ditches may make it difficult to establish good vegetative
+ cover and could require the use of stabilized linings. This is
particularly true where ditches are in or against fill or where the
slopes are in excess of 5 percent.
3. The slopes of the ditch lines need to be verified in the
calculations. The lower portion of Farmington appears steeper that
4.3%. I read more like 6 to 7%.
4. Where possible, 3 to 1 slopes should be the maximum. If not possible
or where original slopes exceed 3 to 1, special stabilization or flow
diversion should be provided. Lots 25 and 26 are the area of concern.
Curb and guttering will help control flow over this steep fill slope.
5. It is not clear how or where stormwater management is planned for
.this project. The grading plan does not show or represent where it is
to be placed.
6. How was the Stage -Volume Storage Chart developed? The designer needs
to provide back-up calculations or support material.
7. The designer needs to provide the hydrology used to estimate the flow
for the stormwater management comparison and routing table. I am not
clear on how -the SWM comparison was developed. It is understood that
the requirements for stormwater management are for this site only and
not for off -site areas. However, the facility must be designed to
handle the flows through the facility. The impacts of the 100 year
storm on the facility needs also to be considered.
8. The water elevation for the 100 year storm should be established and
indicated on the plans along the creekline.
9. When is the SWM facility to be constructed? It should be done as a
part of this construction project.

10. The endwall detail for the weir and orifice is not real clear and
doesn't stand out as a special design. The weir/orifice should be
shown or represented in the elevation or at least in the section
view. Also, it is not vlear how the weir is to be anchored into the
precast structure.
11. The proposed structure and SWM calculations do not address current
State standards for stormwater quality controls as referred in the
.State Stormwater Management Regulations of December 1990.
12. The "C" factor 0.4 for the on -site existing condition appears high.
The designer needs to justify this.
C. ACCESS AND ROADS
1. I do not see any problem with the site access connections to
Greenwood Road, however, traffic counts for Greenwood are needed to
make this assessment. The intersection sight distance should be based
on an eye height of 3.5 feet and object height of 4.25 feet. For a
vehicle count of from 2001-4000 ADT, the sight distance should be a
minimum of 400 feet which it appears will be available in both cases.
2. The designer needs to check with VDOT about the minimum curve radius
for Herold Court. I believe the minimum radius needs to be 260 feet
At the centerline. The plans indicate 250 feet. It depends on whether
this area is considered mountainous or rolling. My interpretation
would be rolling. VDOT may not accept this road into the system.
3. , Superelevation of Herold Court is not required provided the design
speed limit of the road is 25mph or less. The designer should verify
this with VDOT.
4. tGuardrails will be appropriate for the curve in this road along the
fill slope.

. Who is going to build the road improvements including the special
drainage structure for the extension of Farmington Boulevard, and
when?

SUBJECT: Coventry Courts Subdivision
DATE: September 16, 1991
I have reviewed the above plans and offer the following
comments:
1. The storm water management plan proposed for this
development is based on the construction of the
culvert under Farmington Boulevard extended.
Details of these twin, 66 inch diameter RCP
culverts and end walls are shown on sheet 11 of 11. It
should be emphasized that my approval is predicated
on the construction of these culverts during the
initial development of the project. These culverts
are intended to serve as storm water detention and
must be constructed at the same time as the initial
site drainage. A drainage easement will be required
within the area impacted by the upstream storm
water flooding. This easement should be obtained prior
to final approval of the subdivision plan.
2. An Erosion and Sediment Control plan should be provided
for the construction of the culverts and wing walls
under Farmington Boulevard.
3. Provide additional detail for weir/orifice section to
be constructed with precast end wall section (i.e.
elevations, reinforcing, etc.),
4. Many lots on the northwest side of Harold Court are very
steep, especially lots 25 and 26 which border a proposed
drainage way. We recommend that individual site plans
be prepared for lots 25 through 29. In addition,
stability analyses should be performed for these lots if
fill is added to level the sites.

The slope proposed between lots 25 and 26 appears to be
approximately 2 to 1. This slope is relatively steep and
will be difficult to maintain. We suggest the use of a
perennial vegetation such as crown vetch to minimize
maintenance efforts.

Parks & Recreation Director's Comments
Coventry Courts — Site Plan
I recommend that the required amount of usable open space be provided.
The topography of this development makes the provision of the minimum required
usable open space extremely important.
In my opinion, the proposed recreation/picnic area is too close to Rt. 656.
I doubt that anyone would want to picnic along Rt. 656.
It is also my opinion that the tot lot is too close to Rt. 656.

The following is a sequential chain of significant events leading
up to the approval of the Coventry Courts Subdivision. This
subdivision for 38 single family lots on 14.5329 acres has been
approved --by the Planning Commission and is pending final
administrative approval. The final approval cannot occur until the
developer submits final plats, bonding, deed of dedication and
addresses several conditions that were placed on the Planning
Commission approval.
1. Preliminary Master Development Plan #004-90 was submitted
to the Planning Commission for their consideration on April
18, 1990. This plan was for townhouses to be located on this
property. Mr. Thomas Davis of Dove & Associates represented
the application and-requested__.that it be tabled since the
stAff recommendation was for denia __ a on the lac of a
through connection to Greenwood.Road from the property
to the west. Staff noted that the need for an eventual
connection to Greenwood Road -is indicated in the County's
Transportation Plan. Also, the connection was of a concern to
the Virginia Department of Transportation. The plan was
tabled until the May 2, 1990 meeting.
2. Preliminary Master Development Plan #004-90 of Coventry
Courts for townhouses was again considered on May 2, 1990.
Although the revised plan incorporated the through connection
with Greenwood Road and the property to the west, the Planning
Commission tabled the item until all review agency comments
were addressed and the plan redesigned for single family
detached dwellings only.
3. Revised Master Development Plan #004-90 was considered by
the Commission on January 16, 1991. Mr. Edward W. Dove
represented the developer and stated that they believed the
plan was now compatible with the neighborhood since it was now
designed to be 3S single family detached homes. This plan was

Coventry Courts Memo
September 2, 1992
unanimously approved with the staff recommendation to allow
the plan to exceed the standards of disturbed steep slopes (up
to 35%) and wooded areas (up to 40%) at the staff's
discretion.
4. The Master Development Plan #004-90 for Coventry Courts was
presented to the Board of Supervisors on February 13, 1991 and
was approved with the conditions recommended by the Planning
Commission.
5. The subdivision application for Coventry Courts was
presented to the Planning Commission on December 4, 1991.
This plan was approved with the following conditions:
a. All review agency comments must be adequately
addressed.
b. The developer must commit to installation of the
culverts in the Farmington Boulevard extended area and
construction of the storm water detention facility in this
area.
c. The developer must provide information to prove that
lots 24, 25, 26 and 38 are buildable lots.
d. The developer must submit individual lot site/grading
plans for lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26,
27, 28, 29, 30 and 38. If lots are sold to other builders,
the developer will be responsible for providing the new owner
with the site/grading plan.
e. This entire project will be bonded prior to final
plat approval. Bonding will cover the Farmington Boulevard
extension and culvert installation.
In reference to item c. above, a note on the plan stated that
construction on lot 26 would be achieved only through fills
and retaining walls. ..-There also appears to be a requirement
for filling to permit building on the a i iona fisted lots.
The requirement for site/grading plans for the lots listed in
item d. above is driven by the fact that this development is
in an area of steep slopes and clearing limits further
restrict the available building area on many lots. In
conjunction with the steep slopes, engineering evaluation and
high potential for drainage and storm water management
problems dictate stringent control and requirements.
I will be available to answer any questions or provide you with
additional information.

REVIEW EVALUATIONS:
Va. Department of Transportation: See attached letter dated
August 15, 1991 from Robert B. Childress.
Inspections Department: This request for subdivision
approval shall comply to Use Group "R", Residential, Section
309.0, of the BOCA National Building Code 111990"
Fire Marshal: In the easement to the tot lot is the opening
to an underground storm drain. As shown, access to the tot
lot cannot be made without crossing this storm water area.
This creates a very dangerous situation for small children.
Past incidents involving children and high water clearly
demonstrates the potential for serious problems with this
design. This ditch/pipe arrangement was not shown on the
master development plan that this agency reviewed on
11/27/90. See additional comments, attached.
2
Sanitation Authority: Third review approved as noted - two
items.
County Engineer: See attached letter date April 51 1991,
from Paul Bernard. Also see memo from Ed Strawsnyder,
Frederick County Engineer, dated September 16, 1991 and
attached letter to Tom Davis, Dove and Associates, from Mr.
Strawsnyder dated November 1, 1991.
Parks & Recreation: See attached, dated April 2, 1991, from
James M. Doran.
Planning & Zoning: There are two exceptions where this
subdivision plan is not in conformance with the approved
Master Development Plan. These exceptions are the two storm
drainage easements and their attendant structures. These
are required by VDOT since the system traverses what will
eventually become their right of way so this addition is
considered necessary. Commission approval for this
deviation is recommended.
The temporary turn around at the northwest end of
Farmington Boulevard would normally be located at the
extreme of the property boundary. The depicted turn
around is planned short of the boundary since taking it
all the way would require about 30 feet of fill to
bring the surface level up to that required. Since it
will not encroach on any lot, this location is
acceptable. The developer will be required to
dedicate, and eventually complete, the street all the
way to the property line. VDOT has advised that they
will bond this section to insure that the developer
will be held responsible for completion of the street
in a timely manner. This development will be built in
three phases. The developer intends to build phases
two and three prior to building phase one. The storm
water management plan is approved only for phases two
and three. A storm water management plan for phase one
must be submitted and approved prior to any
construction in phase one. A separate E&S Plan will be
required for the installation of the culverts under
Farmington Boulevard due to the off site work that will
be required. Appropriate easements must also be
obtained. Bonding for phase one and the construction
of the extension of Farmington Boulevard should be
required prior to the start of any construction in this
development.
On sheet 11 of 11 of this plan the detail for construction
of the extension of Farmington Boulevard and the culvert
installation that will be required to connect this road
3
across the ravine to Abrams Pointe is shown. A comment on
this sheet states "All proposed work shown hereon is future
construction and is not a part of the construction during
Coventry Courts development." Exception is taken to this
statement since this connection will be required to be made
by the developer and it will be part of this development
construction.
Two review agencies commented about the lack of
entrance into the open space at the southwest perimeter
of the property where the tot lot and picnic area are
located. The developer has amended the plan to show
easements in three locations to provide this access.
These easements are between lots 13 and 14, 36 and 37
and 15 and 16. These easements should be marked with
signage so residents know where the access points are.
A major portion of this development is in an area of
steep slopes and clearing limits further restrict the
available building area on many lots. The County
Engineer has recommended that an individual site plan
be submitted for lots 25 through 29. Because of the
steep slopes, engineering evaluation and high potential
for storm water drainage problems, we recommend that
individual lot site plans/grading plans be submitted by
the developer for lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17, 18,
19, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 38.
Lots 25, 26, 27 and 38 are questionable as to their
suitability as a building lots. A note on the plan
states that construction on lot 26 will be achieved
only through major fills and retaining walls. A
stability analysis would be required since fill will be
necessary to prepare these lots for building. This lot
is also significantly impacted by the drainage easement
and drainage way located on the lot. As a practical
matter, it will probably be cost prohibitive to develop
these lots. A significant portion of lot 38 is located
in the storm water detention facility. It is doubtful
that anyone would want to own a lot under that
circumstance. It would be reasonable to require the
developer to provide information that would prove that
these lots are in fact suitable building lots.
The driveways off of the streets will be an upslope on
all of the lots in this development except lots 24, 25
and 26. The steepest of these will be approximately a
12% grade which is approaching the upper safe limit for
driveways.
Erosion and Sedimentation control will be critical
during the construction grading of this development.
4
Effort must be made to insure all E&S protection is
maintained and early stabilization of disturbed areas
should'be required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 12/04/91 MTG: Approval with the
following conditions and/or requirements being complied with
prior to final plat approval:
1. All review agency comments must be adequately
addressed.
2. The developer must commit to installation of the
culverts in the Farmington Boulevard extended area and
construction of the storm water detention facility in
this area.
3. The developer must provide information to prove that
lots 24, 25, 26 and 38 are buildable lots.
4. The developer must submit individual lot
site/grading plans for lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17,
18, 19, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 38. If lots
that are required to have individual site plans are
sold to other builders, the developer will be
responsible for providing the new owner with the
site/grading plan.
5. This entire project will be bonded prior to final plat
approval. Bonding will cover the Farmington Boulevard
extension and culvert installation.

Dear Tam:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your revised plans dated July 16, 1991 to
the above referenced location. The plans appear satisfactory and are
approved. Please advise the developer accordingly.
I offer the following c awkents:
• A preconstruction conference be held by the engineer and/or developer with
the attendance of the contractor, various County agencies and VDOT shall be
conducted prior to initiation of work.
• Materials used and method of construction shall apply to current observed
VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications applicable during construction of this
development.
• Our review and comments are general in nature. Should conditions in the
field exist such that additional measures are warranted, such measures shall
be completed to the satisfaction of the Department prior to inclusion into
the Secondary Road System.
• Attached is a copy of the minimaml requirements and information needed prior
to acceptance of subdivision streets into the Secondary System. This is the
responsibility of the developer.
• 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.
• The contractor shall notify VDOT when work is to begin or cease for any
undetermined length of time. VDOT will also require (forty-eight) 48 hours
notice for inspections.
• The appropriate land use permits shall be obtained before any work is
performed on the State's right-of-way. These permits will require a minimm
processing fee plus the salary and expenses of a State assigned Inspector.
• If mailboxes are to be placed along the roadway fronting lots, a minimum of
four (4') feet shall be between the edge of pavement and the front of
mailbox as shown on the attached sketch.

• Private entrances will be installed in accordance to the attached sketch.
This is the developer's responsibility.
• Any signs to be installed will be in accordance with attachments.
• I suggest any utilities and/or storm sewer placed within the proposed
right-of-way be backfilled completely with C.R. Type 21 A Stone. This will
greatly reduce the possibility of any pavement settlement.
Should you need additional information, do not hesitate to call.

Dear Wayne,
I have reviewed the above plans and offer the following comments:
A. EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION
1. The E & S narrative was placed on the plans, however, there are a few
issues it needs to incorporate: oar
Q l ,once lurface is denuded, it is to be brought
to final grade as quickly as possible and stabilized.ac, W NIC,A
Areas denuded are to be either permanently or temporarily
stabilized within seven (7) days.
c) The inspection and maintenance of E & S measures needs to be
addressed.
d) Stock piles of soil material are to be stabilized or protected
with sediment traps.
e) The removal of measures when the surface has been stabilized
needs to be discussed.
2. Sediment traps or basins need to be used at the outfall locations
prior to discharging to the creek.
3. The stability of the ditch sections is questionable. Velocities may
be Muqbing the limits of the soil types in the area. Check dams will

B. GRADING, DRAINAGE, AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
1. The grading for the building lots will be significant and in most
cases critical. I recommend that lot grading plans or a master
grading plan be required prior to building permit release for
housing.
2. The use of ditch sections for lots this dense is inappropriate.
Drainage complaints for surface run-off problems within the County
i have been excessive. I recommend curb and gutters. The slope of some
of these ditches may make it difficult to establish good vegetative
cover and could require the use of stabilized linings. This is
particularly true where ditches are in or against fill or where the
slopes are in excess of 5 percent.
r1;/3. The slopes of the ditch lines need to- be verified in the
p calculations. The lower portion of Farmington appears steeper that
4.3%. I read more like 6 to 7%.
4. Where possible, 3 to 1 slopes should be the maximum. If not possible
or where original slopes exceed 3 to 1, special stabilization or flow
diversion should be provided. Lots 25 and 26 are the area of concern.
Curb and guttering will help control flow over this steep fill slope.
5. It is not clear how or where stormwater management is planned for
.this project. The grading plan does not show or represent where it is
to be placed.
6. How was the Stage -Volume Storage Chart developed? The designer needs
to provide back-up calculations or support material.
7. The designer needs to provide the hydrology used to estimate the flow
for the stormwater management comparison and routing table. I am not
clear on how -the SWM comparison was developed. It is understood that
the requirements for stormwater management are for this site only and
not for off -site areas. However, the facility must be designed to
handle the flows through the facility. The impacts of the 100 year
storm on the facility needs also to be considered.
8. ,The water elevation for the 100 year storm should be established and
indicated on the plans along the creekline.
9. When is the SWM facility to be constructed? It should be done as a
part of this construction project.

10. The endwall detail for the weir and orifice is not real clear and
doesn't stand out as a special design. The weir/orifice should be
shown or represented in the elevation or at least in the section
view. Also, it is not vlear how the weir is to be anchored into the
precast structure.
11. The proposed structure and SWM calculations do not address current
State standards for stormwater quality controls as referred in the
.State Stormwater Management Regulations of December 1990.
12. The "C" factor 0.4 for the on -site existing condition appears high.
The designer needs to justify this.
C. ACCESS AND ROADS
1. I do not see any problem with the site access connections to
Greenwood Road, however, traffic counts for Greenwood are needed to
make this assessment. The intersection sight distance should be based
on an eye height of 3.5 feet and object height of 4.25 feet. For a
vehicle count of from 2001-4000 ADT, the sight distance should be a
minimum of 400 feet which it appears will be available in both cases.
2. The designer needs to check with VDOT about the minimum curve radius
for Herold Court. I believe the minimum radius needs to be 260 feet
At the centerline. The plans indicate 250 feet. It depends on whether
this area is considered mountainous or rolling. My interpretation
would be rolling. VDOT may not accept this road into the system.
3. , Superelevation of Herold Court is not required provided the design
speed limit of the road is 25mph or less. The designer should verify
this with VDOT.
4. (,Guardrails will be appropriate for the curve in this road along the
fill slope.
C
. Who is going to build the road improvements including the special
drainage structure for the extension of Farmington Boulevard, and
when?

-------------------------------------------------------------
I have reviewed the above plans and offer the following
comments:
1. The storm water management plan proposed for this
development is based on the construction of the
culvert under Farmington Boulevard extended.
Details of these twin, 66 inch diameter RCP
culverts and end walls are shown on sheet 11 of 11. It
should be emphasized that my approval is predicated
on the construction of these culverts during the
initial development of the project. These culverts
are intended to serve as storm water detention and
must be constructed at the same time as the initial
site drainage. A drainage easement will be required
within the area impacted by the upstream storm
water flooding. This easement should be obtained prior
to final approval of the subdivision plan.
2. An Erosion and Sediment Control plan should be provided
for the construction of the culverts and wing walls
under Farmington Boulevard.
3. Provide additional detail for weir/orifice section to
be constructed with precast end wall section (i.e.
elevations, reinforcing, etc.),
4. Many lots on the northwest side of Harold Court are very
steep, especially lots 25 and 26 which border a proposed
drainage way. We recommend that individual site plans
be prepared for lots 25 through 29. In addition,
stability analyses should be performed for these lots if

The slope proposed between lots 25 and 26 appears to be
approximately 2 to 1. This slope is relatively steep and
will be difficult to maintain. We suggest the use of a
perennial vegetation such as crown vetch to minimize
maintenance efforts.

Parks & Recreation Director's Comments
Coventry Courts - Site Plan
I recommend that the required amount of usable open space be provided.
The topography of this development makes the provision of the minimum required
usable open space extremely important.
In my opinion, the proposed recreation/picnic area is too close to Rt. 656.
I doubt that anyone would want to picnic along Rt. 656.
It is also my opinion that the tot lot is too close to Rt. 656.

Staff Comment Sheet
Page -2-
County Consulting Engineer:
1990.
Planning & Development:
See letter dated November 16,
A MDP for this parcel came before the Commission in April of
1990, at which time the matter was tabled. The Commission
indicated at that time that they would not be inclined to
approve a MDP for anything other than single family
development. The current proposal is for 38 single-family
detached dwellings on the 14.5 acre parcel. This housing
type and density is consistent with the RP zoning of the
parcel and the direction of the Commission at the April
meeting.
A second area of concern with the previous proposal was the
lack of a through connection to the approved Abrams Point
development to the west of this parcel. The current proposal
shows this connection and neither VDOT or our engineer
indicate a problem at this time.
Changes Needed
Cluster lots require an equivalent square footage be added to
the required open space for any lot under 10,000 square feet.
The open space indicated on the MDP lacks over 9,000 square
feet of the open space needed, given the number of lots below
10,000 square feet.
The area of steep slopes which is indicated to be disturbed
exceeds the maximum 25% allowed by the ordinance by more than
an acre. The total acreage indicated as disturbed does not
appear to include the area required to be cleared for
individual home sites. This would increase the total over
what is now indicated. Some of the lots shown on the plan are
totally within the steep slope area, while a number of others
have a large portion of their area in steep slopes.
The woodland area to be disturbed also exceeds the maximum
allowed by nearly one and a half acres. Home sites do not
appear to be included in this figure either.
r
Additional Information Required
Information as to how woodland and steep slopes will be
treated on lots which lay within these areas.
Location of open space needs to be clearly indicated as well
as location of environmental areas that will be disturbed.
Information on how stormwater management is to be handled
needs to be provided.
The need for turn lanes at the intersection of Greenwood and
the new through road to Abrams Point should be addressed.
All information requested by review agencies.
Staff Recommendation 1116/91: Approval with corrections being made
to the layout, such that maximum permitted disturbance to steep
slopes and woodland area are not exceeded, and that all review
agency and staff comments are addressed.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS OF 1/16/91: Approved with
staff recommendations and the following conditions:
1. Calculation of amount of open space required to
compensate for lots below 10,000 square foot must be
indicated on the plan. This amount is in addition to the
2-5 =% base required for cluster lots.
2. Information on the handling of stormwater needs to be
provided on the plan.
3. The location and amount of woodland and steep slope areas
as defined by the Zoning Ordinance need to be shown. The
Planning Commission has granted a waiver of the limits
set by the Ordinance to permit only that excess
disturbance necessary to construct the connector road to
Abrams -Point and in no case to exceed 35% of the steep
slopes -or 405% of the woodland area. This should be
clearly indicated on the plan.
4. All other review agency comments must be adequately
addressed.

SUBDIVISIONS
Subdivision Application of Coventry Court for 38 single-family homes to be located on
Route 656, north of the intersection of Greenwood Road and Senseny Road, in the Shawnee
District. This property is identified by GPIN #55000020000185.
Action - Approved
Mr. Miller read the background information, agency review comments, and staff
recommendations. Mr. Miller clarified that the staff is recommending that Farmington
Boulevard be constructed only to the property line and not past the boundaries of this property,
to connect to the Abrams Point property.
Mr. Edward W. Dove, President of Dove & Associates, the engineers for this
subdivision, said that the main issue involved with this development was the need for a road
connection to Abrams Point and out to Greenwood Road. Mr. Dove anticipated that the cost
of constructing the road (Farmington Boulevard) would be high because of the required grading
and culverts, and he felt that construction needed to be coordinated between Coventry Court and
Abrams Point. Mr. Dove asked that they be permitted to phase their plan so that development
could proceed and revenue could be acquired to offset the cost of constructing the road. He said
that in order to accomplish this, they have created a temporary cul-de-sac at the end of
Farmington Boulevard and have included two separate sets of stormwater calculations on the
plan --one for Phases II and III and one for Phase I, which includes the extension of Farmington
Boulevard.
Mr. Dove said that the applicant is agreeable to submitting grading and site plans
only for lots 19, 25, 26, 27, and 38, since the buildability of those lots were in question. Mr.
Dove was not in favor of doing grading and site plans for all of the lots suggested by the
Planning Staff.
Mr. Dove also felt it was not reasonable to ask that the entire Farmington
Boulevard be bonded before any work was done on the site. He felt it was reasonable to bond
the road in sections, according to the phases built. He asked that the development be bonded
section by section and that stormwater management be required section by section.
3429

Chairman Golladay stated that he would not be in favor of approving any lots that
may have water problems without a grading/site plan.
Mrs. Elaine Longerbeam, one of the owners of Coventry Courts, felt that the
Abrams Point developers were unwilling to participate in the construction of the connecting road
at this time. She felt it was unfair for the county to base approval of the Coventry Courts
subdivision on the completion of the connecting road. Mrs. Longerbeam felt that each property
owner should be required to bond Farmington Boulevard to their own property line. Mrs.
Longerbeam also felt it was unreasonable to require grading and site plans for any additional lots
other than those originally cited by Mr. Strawsnyder, the County Engineer, in his letter of
November 1, 1991 to Dove & Associates.
Mr. Harvey E. Strawsnyder, Jr., P.E., Director of Engineering for Frederick
County, came forward to address the stormwater issue. Mr. Strawsnyder said that approval the
original plan relied on the construction of culverts and an embankment for stormwater
management for Section I. He said that because this stormwater management plan relied on
connection to the Abrams Point property, the Coventry Courts developers elected to abandon
that approach in favor of a modified stormwater management plan for Sections II and III. Mr.
Strawsnyder said that he reviewed and approved the calculations submitted.
Mr. Dove said that to complicate matters further, a non -vacated residence was
located on the Abrams Point property and had a prescriptive easement that ran directly through
the proposed stormwater detention culverts.
Mr. Charles Maddox, Jr., the engineer for the Abrams Point property, said that
they revised their master plan (Abrams Point) to reflect the road connection as suggested by the
Planning Commission and Board. Mr. Maddox said that they acknowledge that the road can be
built and are not against building the road. Mr. Maddox noted that the connection would result
in zero impact problems as far as Abrams Point was concerned.
The Commission realized that the construction of Farmington Blvd would be an
expensive endeavor, however, its construction was previously agreed to by all the parties
involved at the time of master plan approval. Commissioners also felt that because a major
portion of the development was in areas of steep slopes and there was also a high potential for
stormwater drainage problems, that individual site plans were needed for the lots indicated by
the staff.
Upon motion made by Mr. Romine and seconded by Mr. DeHaven,
BE IT RESOLVED, That the Frederick County Planning Commission does hereby unanimously
approve the subdivision application of Coventry Courts for 38 single-family lots on 14.5239
acres with the following conditions and/or requirements being complied with prior to final plat
approval:

1. All review agency comments must be adequately addressed.
2. The developer must commit to installation of the culverts in the Farmington Boulevard
extended area and construction of the stormwater detention facility in this area.
3. The developer must provide information to prove that lots 24, 25, 26, and 38 are
buildable lots.
4. The developer must submit individual lot site/grading plans for lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 16,
17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, and 38. If lots that are required to have
individual site plans are sold to other builders, the developer will be responsible for
providing the new owner with the site/grading plan.
5. This entire project will be bonded prior to final plat approval. Bonding will cover the
Farmington Boulevard extension and culvert installation.
Subdivision Application of Senseny Glen for 161 lots on 67.85 acres zoned RP and located
north and adjacent to Senseny Road and east and adjacent to Apple Ridge Subdivision in
the Shawnee District. This property is identified with GPIN #650000A0000041 and
#650000A0000048.
Action - Approved
Mr. Miller read the background information, review agency comments, and the
staff recommendations. Staff recommendations were for approval on the condition that all
review agency comments be addressed prior to approval of final plats.
Mr. Ron Mislowsky of G. W. Clifford & Associates, the engineers for the
project, presented the subdivision to the Commission.
The Commission discussed the fact that stormwater detention facility #2 overlays
a major portion of Lot 93 and is also located in an area of a possible street connection to
property to the east. They questioned whether or not Lot 93 was buildable.
Mr. Mislowsky said that it was their position that lot 93 would not be built on
until the pond was moved and the road put in. Mr. Mislowsky said that they felt Lot 93 would
require a site plan. He added that they would submit individual site plans for all the lots
suggested by the county engineer, plus any additional lots that the county engineer felt was
necessary.
Mr. Romine moved for approval with the condition that all review agency
comments be addressed and that the useability of Lot 93 be resolved prior to approval of final

Inspections Department: This request for subdivision
approval shall comply to Use Group "R", Residential, Section
309.0, of the BOCA National Building Code 111990"
Fire Marshal: In the easement to the tot lot is the opening
to an underground storm drain. As shown, access to the tot
lot cannot be made without crossing this storm water area.
This creates a very dangerous situation for small children.
Past incidents involving children and high water clearly
demonstrates the potential for serious problems with this
design. This ditch/pipe arrangement was not shown on the
master development plan that this agency reviewed on
11/27/90. See additional comments, attached.

Sanitation Authority: Third review approved as noted - two
items.
county Engineer: See attached letter date April 5, 1991,
from Paul Bernard. Also see memo from Ed Strawsnyder,
Frederick County Engineer, dated September 16, 1991 and
attached letter to Tom Davis, Dove and Associates, from Mr.
Strawsnyder dated November 1, 1991.
Parks & Recreation: See attached, dated April 2, 1991, from
James M. Doran.
Planning & Zoning: There are two exceptions where this
subdivision plan is not in conformance with the approved
Master Development Plan. These exceptions are the two storm
drainage easements and their attendant structures. These
are required by VDOT since the system traverses what will
eventually become their right of way so this addition is
considered necessary. commission approval for this
deviation is recommended.
The temporary turn around at the northwest end of
Farmington Boulevard would normally be located at the
extreme of the property boundary. The depicted turn
around is planned short of the boundary since taking it
all the way would require about 30 feet of fill to
bring the surface level up to that required. Since it
will not encroach on any lot, this location is
acceptable. The developer will be required to
dedicate, and eventually complete, the street all the
way to the property line. VDOT has advised that they
will bond this section to insure that the developer
will be held responsible for completion of the street
in a timely manner. This development will be built in
three phases. The developer intends to build phases
two and three prior to building phase one. The storm
water management plan is approved only for phases two
and three. A storm water management plan for phase one
must be submitted and approved prior to any
construction in phase one. A separate E&S Plan will be
required for the installation of the culverts under
Farmington Boulevard due to the off site work that will
be required. Appropriate easements must also be
obtained. Bonding for phase one and the construction
of the extension of Farmington Boulevard should be
required prior to the start of any construction in this
development.
On sheet 11 of 11 of this plan the detail for construction
of the extension of Farmington Boulevard and the culvert
installation that will be required to connect this road
3
across the ravine to Abrams Pointe is shown. A comment on
this sheet states "All proposed work shown hereon is future
construction and is not a part of the construction during
Coventry Courts development." Exception is taken to this
statement since this connection will be required to be made
by the developer and it will be part of this development
construction.
Two review agencies commented about the lack of
entrance into the open space at the southwest perimeter
of the property where the tot lot and picnic area are
located. The developer has amended the plan to show
easements in three locations to provide this access.
These easements are between lots 13 and 14, 36 and 37
and 15 and 16. These easements should be marked with
signage so residents know where the access points are.
A major portion of this development is in an area of
steep slopes and clearing limits further restrict the
available building area on many lots. The County
Engineer has recommended that an individual site plan
be submitted for lots 25 through 29. Because of the
steep slopes, engineering evaluation and high potential
for storm water drainage problems, we recommend that
individual lot site plans/grading plans be submitted by
the developer for lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17, 18,
19, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 38.
Lots 25, 26, 27 and 38 are questionable as to their
suitability as a building lots. A note on the plan
states that construction on lot 26 will be achieved
only through major fills and retaining walls. A
stability analysis would be required since fill will be
necessary to prepare these lots for building. This lot
is also significantly impacted by the drainage easement
and drainage way located on the lot. As a practical
matter, it will probably be cost prohibitive to develop
these lots. A significant portion of lot 38 is located
in the storm water detention facility. It is doubtful
that anyone would want to own a lot under that
circumstance. It would be reasonable to require the
developer to provide information that would prove that
these lots are in fact suitable building lots.
The driveways off of the streets will be an upslope on
all of the lots in this development except lots 24, 25
and 26. The steepest of these will be approximately a
12% grade which is approaching the upper safe limit for
driveways.
Erosion and Sedimentation control will be critical
during the construction grading of this development.
4
Effort must be made to insure all E&S protection is
maintained and early stabilization of disturbed areas
should -be required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 12/04/91 MTG: Approval with the
following conditions and/or requirements being complied with
prior to final plat approval:
1. All review agency comments must be adequately
addressed.
2. The developer must commit to installation of the
culverts in the Farmington Boulevard extended area and
construction of the storm water detention facility in
this area.
3. The developer must provide information to prove that
lots 24, 25, 26 and 38 are buildable lots.
4. The developer must submit individual lot
site/grading plans for lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17,
18, 19, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 38. If lots
that are required to have individual site plans are
sold to other builders, the developer will be
responsible for providing the new owner with the
site/grading plan.
5. This entire project will be bonded prior to final plat
approval. Bonding will cover the Farmington Boulevard
extension and culvert installation.

Dear Tom:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your revised plans dated July 16, 1991 to
the above referenced location. The plans appear satisfactory and are
approved. Please advise the developer accordingly.
I offer the following comments:
A preconstruction conference be held by the engineer and/or developer with
the attendance of the contractor, various County agencies and VDOT shall be
conducted prior to initiation of work.
Materials used and method of construction shall apply to current observed
VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications applicable during construction of this
development.
Our review and comments are general in nature. Should conditions in the
field exist such that additional measures are warranted, such measures shall
be completed to the satisfaction of the Department prior to inclusion into
the Secondary Road System.
Attached is a copy of the minimum requirements and information needed prior
to acceptance of subdivision streets into the Secondary System. This is the
responsibility of the developer.
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.
The contractor shall notify VDOT when work is to begin or cease for any
undetermined length of time. VDOT will also require (forty-eight) 48 hours
notice for inspections.
The appropriate land use permits shall be obtained before any work is
performed on the State's right-of-way. These permits will require a minimum
processing fee plus the salary and expenses of a State assigned Inspector.
If mailboxes are to be placed along the roadway fronting lots, a minimum of
four (4') feet shall be between the edge of pavement and the front of
mailbox as shown on the attached sketch.

Private entrances will be installed in accordance to the attached sketch.
This is the developer's responsibility.
Any signs to be installed will be in accordance with attachments.
I suggest any utilities and/or storm sewer placed within the proposed
right-of-way be backfilled completely with C.R. Type 21-A Stone. This will
greatly reduce the possibility of any pavement settlement.
Should you need additional information, do not hesitate to call.

Re: Country Cts. Subdivision Plan
17555.071
Dear Wayne,
I have reviewed the above plans and offer the following comments:
A. EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION
1. The E & S narrative was placed on the plans, however, there are a few
issues it needs to incorporate:
a) Emphasize that once the surface is denuded, it is to be brought
to final grade as quickly as possible and stabilized. <.Q rJ &-k.QA
b) Areas denuded are to be either permanently or temporarily
stabilized within seven (7) days.
c) The inspection and maintenance of E & S measures needs to be
addressed.
d) Stock piles of soil material are to be stabilized or protected
with sediment traps.
e) The removal of measures when the surface has been stabilized
needs to be discussed.
2. Sediment traps or basins need to be used at the outfall locations
prior to discharging to the creek.
3. The stability of the ditch sections is questionable. Velocities may
be pushing the limits of the soil types in the area. Check dams will
be requited during construction. (The use of ditches in this
subdivision are not recommended.

B. GRADING, DRAINAGE, AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
1. The grading for the building lots will be significant and in most
cases critical. I recommend that lot grading plans or a master
grading plan be required prior to building permit release for
housing.
2. The use of ditch sections for lots this dense is inappropriate.
Drainage complaints for surface run-off problems within the County
have been excessive. I recommend curb and gutters. The slope of some
of these ditches may make it difficult to establish good vegetative
cover and could require the use of stabilized linings. This is
particularly true where ditches are in or against fill or where the
slopes are in excess of 5 percent.
3. The slopes of the ditch lines need to be verified in the
calculations. The lower portion of Farmington appears steeper that
4.3%. I read more like 6 to 7%.
4. Where possible, 3 to 1 slopes should be the maximum. If not possible
or where original slopes exceed 3 to 1, special stabilization or flow
diversion should be provided. Lots 25 and 26 are the area of concern.
Curb and guttering will help control flow over this steep fill slope.
5. It is not clear how or where stormwater management is planned for
this project. The grading plan does not show or represent where it is
to be placed.
6. How was the Stage -Volume Storage Chart developed? The designer needs
to provide back-up calculations or support material.
7. The designer needs to provide the hydrology used to estimate the flow
for the stormwater management comparison and routing table. I am not
clear on how the SWM comparison was developed. It is understood that
the requirements for stormwater management are for this site only and
not for off -site areas. However, the facility must be designed to
handle the flows through the facility. The impacts of the 100 year
storm on the facility needs also to be considered.
8. The water elevation for the 100 year storm should be established and
indicated on the plans along the creekline.
9. When is the SWM facility to be constructed? It should be done as a
part of this construction project.
ENGINEERS
ARCHITECTS
SCIENTISTS
10. The endwall detail for the weir and orifice is not real clear and
doesn't stand out as a special design. The weir/orifice should be
shown or represented in the elevation or at least in the section
view. Also, it is not vlear how the weir is to be anchored into the
precast structure.
11. The proposed structure and SWM calculations do not address current
State standards for stormwater quality controls as referred in the
State Stormwater Management Regulations of December 1990.
12. The "C" factor 0.4 for the on -site existing condition appears high.
The designer needs to justify this.
C. ACCESS AND ROADS
1. I do not see any problem with the site access connections to
Greenwood Road, however, traffic counts for Greenwood are needed to
make this assessment. The intersection sight distance should be based
on an eye height of 3.5 feet and object height of 4.25 feet. For a
vehicle count of from 2001-4000 ADT, the sight distance should be a
minimum of 400 feet which it appears will be available in both cases.
2. The designer needs to check with VDOT about the minimum curve radius
for Herold Court. I believe the minimum radius needs to be 260 feet
at the centerline. The plans indicate 250 feet. It depends on whether
this area is considered mountainous or rolling. My interpretation
would be rolling. VDOT may not accept this road into the system.
3. Superelevation of Herold Court is not required provided the design
speed limit of the road is 25mph or less. The designer should verify
this with VDOT.
4. Guardrails will be appropriate for the curve in this road along the
fill slope.
5. Who is going to build the road improvements including the special
drainage structure for the extension of Farmington Boulevard, and
when?

Engineering
SUBJECT: Coventry Courts Subdivision
DATE: September 16, 1991
I have reviewed the above plans and offer the following
comments:
1. The storm water management plan proposed for this
development is based on the construction of the
culvert under Farmington Boulevard extended.
Details of these twin, 66 inch diameter RCP
culverts and end walls are shown on sheet 11 of 11. It
should be emphasized that my approval is predicated
on the construction of these culverts during the
initial development of the project. These culverts
are intended to serve as storm water detention and
must be constructed at the same time as the initial
site drainage. A drainage easement will be required
within the area impacted by the upstream storm
water flooding. This easement should be obtained prior
to final approval of the subdivision plan.
2. An Erosion and Sediment Control plan should be provided
for the construction of the culverts and wing walls
under Farmington Boulevard.
3. Provide additional detail for weir/orifice section to
be constructed with precast end wall section (i.e.
elevations, reinforcing, etc.),
4. Many lots on the northwest side of Harold Court are very
steep, especially lots 25 and 26 which border a proposed
drainage way. We recommend that individual site plans
be prepared for lots 25 through 29. In addition,
stability analyses should be performed for these lots if
fill is added to level the sites.

September 16, 1991
The slope proposed between lots 25 and 26 appears to be
approximately 2 to 1. This slope is relatively steep and
will be difficult to maintain. We suggest the use of a
perennial vegetation such as crown vetch to minimize
maintenance efforts.

Parks & Recreation Director's Comments
Coventry Courts - Site Plan
I recommend that the required amount of usable open space be provided.
The topography of this development makes the provision of the minimum required
usable open space extremely important.
In my opinion, the proposed recreation/picnic area is too close to Rt. 656.
I doubt that anyone would want to picnic along Rt. 656.
It is also my opinion that the tot lot is too close to Rt. 656.

RE: Revised Subdivision Plan
Coventry Court
Shawnee Magisterial District
Frederick County, Virginia
Dear Mr. Davis:
The revised subdivision plan dated October 31, 1991, is approved
for construction. This plan includes stormwater management for lots
15 through 38.
This plan does not pre-empt the need for individual site plans
for lots 19, 25, 26, 27 and 38. We also anticipate that the drainage
easement reflected in the open space will be expanded to incorporate
the limits of the stormwater detention basin.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the above
comments.

RE: Stormwater Management
Lots 15 through 38 - Coventry Court
Frederick County, Virginia
Dear Tom:
We have received and attempted to review the revised stormwater
management plan for the subject lots in the Coventry Court
Subdivision. However, because of the illegible copy of the computer
printout, we were unable to complete our review.
Please submit a legible copy of these calculations so that we
can determine the derivation of the flows tabulated on sheet 11A and
evaluate the suitability of the proposed stormwater detention basin.

Dear Tom:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your revised plans dated July 16, 1991 to
the above referenced location. The plans appear satisfactory and are
approved. Please advise the developer accordingly.
I offer the following comments:
• A preconstruction conference be held by the engineer and/or developer with
the attendance of the contractor, various County agencies and VDOT shall be
conducted prior to initiation of work.
• Materials used and method of construction shall apply to current observed
VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications applicable during construction of this
development.
• Our review and comments are general in nature. Should conditions in the
field exist such that additional measures are warranted, such measures shall
be coupleted to the satisfaction of the Department prior to inclusion into
the Secondary Road System.
• Attached is a copy of the minimum requirements and information needed prior
to acceptance of subdivision streets into the Secondary System. This is the
responsibility of the developer.
• 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.
• The contractor shall notify VDOT when work is to begin or cease for any
undetermined length of time. VDOT will also require (forty-eight) 48 hours
notice for inspections.
• The appropriate land use permits shall be obtained before any work is
performed on the State's right-of-way. These permits will require a minimum
processing fee plus the salary and expenses of a State assigned Inspector.
• If mailboxes are to be placed along the roadway fronting lots, a minimum of
four (4') feet shall be between the edge of pavement and the front of
mailbox as shown on the attached sketch.
Mr. Tom Davis
August 15, 1991
Page #2
• Private entrances will be installed in accordance to the attached sketch.
This is the developer's responsibility.
• Any signs to be installed will be in accordance with attachments.
I suggest any utilities and/or storm sewer placed within the proposed
right-of-way be backfilled completely with C.R. Type 21-A Stone. This will
greatly reduce the possibility of any pavement settlement.
Should you need additional information, do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
William H. Bushman

Ref: Coventry Courts Subdivision
Route 656
Frederick County
We have reviewed the referenced project's revised site plans submitted with
your letter of June 20, 1991. Our recommendations may be found on the plans
marked in red and as follows:
1. As recently discussed by telephone, an additional right-of-way dedication
along Route 656 for a future right turn lane at the Farmington Boulevard
intersection will not be necessary at this time.
2. The revised pavement design on Herold Court appears satisfactory except
the sub -base is to be increased to 8" in depth. Also, our new pavement
designations should be used.
3. The double line of 66" pipe to be installed under the future extension of
Farmington Boulevard appears adequate. However, drainage easements will
be required to maintain the slopes and pipes as noted.
4. The storm sewer originally proposed along Herold Court will be necessary
to intercept drainage from the culvert under Route 656 as noted on
Sheets 2 & 6. Drainage easements should be clearly identified on the plan
and profile sheets in addition to the grading plan sheet.
5. It appears the revised location of the proposed 10" watermain within the
Route 656 right-of-way would be difficult to install considering the
distance from edge of pavement, right-of-way width, existing cut section
and existing utilities. Also, it would appear a lane closure would be
necessary to complete the installation. Consideration should also be
given to possible damages to the pavement structure of Route 656 due to
construction activities which would need to be corrected. With this in
mind we will be unable to offer any final comments on this location until
additional detail/conditions and methods of installation are provided.
