No action is
necessary, unless a majority of the Board wishes to consider
this preliminary subdivision application. On May 31, 2007,
the Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the
Blue Ridge South Preliminary Plat subject to the following
conditions:
1.
The Final
Plat shall be in general conformance with the Preliminary
Subdivision Plat "Blue Ridge South” dated July 15, 2006,
last revised April 25, 2007, signed by John P. Foster on
April 25, 2007.
2.
Adequate
provision for the conveyance of stormwater will be required
with the final construction plan submittal.
3.
With the
final design submission provide hydraulic analysis/design of
storm pipes/culverts, ditches and evaluate impact on
existing culverts.
- If wetlands are proposed to be
affected, a USACOE permit will be required prior to
Final Construction Plan approval.
5.
All culverts
are to be designed to pass the ten year storm. This includes
the one that appears necessary under Kristin Court.
6.
The County
recommends that no below grade basements be constructed on
soils with high water table due to wetness unless the
foundation drainage system of the structure is designed by a
Licensed Professional Engineer to assure a dry basement and
preclude recirculation of pumped or collected water. Unless,
in the opinion of the County Engineer, the topography of the
lot in relation to the overlot grading plan precludes
grading the site to drain the basement to daylight without
assistance from mechanical means, all discharged water
(mechanical or gravity) must be conveyed to the subdivision
stormwater collection system and discharged through the
stormwater management facilities. Drainage easements, where
necessary, shall be placed on the final plat. A note shall
be placed on the final plat stating “Basements are not
recommended in mapping units that include flooding and/or
intermittent high groundwater table in their description.
Basements in these mapping units are subject to flooding due
to high seasonal water tables. Sump systems may run
continuously, leading to possible premature pump failure.”
7.
No houses are
to be located in swales.
8.
Pursuant to
Section 7-603 of the Zoning Ordinance, a complete landscape
plan shall be submitted with the construction drawings for
approval.
9.
A Virginia
Certified Professional Soil Scientist (CPSS)
(needs to adjust the Type
I Soil Map soil lines)
or
(needs to adjust the
preliminary soil map with revisions)
onto the Final Construction
Plan. This needs to be done in the field and checked for any
additional soils information to be added to the Final
Construction Plan.
10.
A signature
block shall be placed on this plat for the CPSS to sign
which states:
Preliminary Soils Information Provided by the
Fauquier County Soil Scientist
Office via a Type I Soil Map (1"=400') Dated _________.
This Virginia Certified Professional Soil Scientist has
field reviewed and adjusted the
preliminary soil information onto the final plat
(1"=___') and certifies that this is the
Best Available Soils Information to Date for Lots
1-____.
Va. Certified Professional Soil
Scientist DATE
CPSS #3401-
-
Interpretive information from the Type I soil report for
each mapping unit shown on the above Final Construction
Plan shall be placed on the same sheet as the soil map.
Also a Symbols Legend shall be placed on the Final
Construction Plan to identify spot symbols.
-
This final soil map shall be filed in the Building
Office to be used exclusively for obtaining soils
information for this proposed subdivision.
-
Two (2) copies of this final soil map with CPSS
signature need to be submitted to the Soil Scientist’s
Office before Final Plat approval is made.
-
The final signature sets shall contain original CPSS
signature.
-
The type of primary and reserve drainfield area shall be
stated for each lot.
-
The following statement shall be placed on the same
sheet as the final soil map:
Due to landscape position (drainageways) and high seasonal
water tables the following statement needs to be placed on
the Final Construction Plan to be placed in the front office
of Community Development: "The County recommends that no
below grade basements be constructed on soil mapping units
12B, 15B, 48B, 417B and 417C due to wetness unless the
foundation drainage system of the structure is designed by a
Virginia Licensed Professional Engineer. The foundation
drainlines should be daylighted for gravity flow on all
structures."
-
The following statement shall be included on final soils
map and E & S plans:
“PRIOR TO FINAL CONSTRUCTION PLAN APPROVAL, IT SHALL BE
AGREED THAT ALL DRAINFIELD AREAS ARE TO BE SURROUNDED BY
SAFETY FENCING AND NO CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC SHALL CROSS NOR
SHALL LAND DISTURBANCE OCCUR IN THESE AREAS. THE FENCING OF
THESE AREAS IS TO BE VERIFIED BY COUNTY STAFF BEFORE THE
ISSUANCE OF THE LAND DISTURBING PERMIT.”
-
Soil mapping unit 140B is usually shallow to bedrock.
The following statement needs to be placed on the Final
Construction Pan: “The County recommends that before
road or home construction begins in soil mapping unit
140B, a site specific evaluation be conducted so that
shallow to bedrock areas are identified. These areas may
require blasting if deep cuts or excavation is done.”
-
Areas of steep slopes should be avoided at all cost due
to high erosion hazard. Proper erosion and sedimentation
practices need to be installed before construction
begins. Soil mapping unit 43D should be left in its
natural state.
Location:
The property
is located on Lees Mill Road (Route 651), just south of
Routts Hill Road (Route 685). |
