No action is necessary to
approve the Preliminary Plat, unless a majority of the Board
wishes to consider this preliminary subdivision application.
On October 30, 2008, the Planning Commission voted
unanimously to approve the Stonewall Hill Preliminary Plat
subject to the following conditions:
1.
The Final Plat shall be in general conformance with
the Preliminary Subdivision Plat "Stonewall Hill
Subdivision” dated August 1, 2008, revised October 24, 2008
and signed by James R. Ashley on October 28, 2008.
2.
At the
time of Zoning Permit application, additional data shall be
provided in order to verify that the driveway crossings are
not impacting the floodplain. A note shall be placed on the
Final Plat indicating such.
3.
All culverts shall be a minimum of 15” in diameter.
4.
All culverts will be required to meet the minimum
requirements of Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control
Minimum Standard 19 and Department of Conservation and
Recreation (DCR)
Technical Bulletin 1. This
includes that culverts will have to pass the 10-year storm
and the flow exiting the pipe will have to be non-erosive
for the 2-year velocity.
5.
A note shall be added to the Final Construction Plan
and Final Plat which states that all non-conventional sewage
disposal systems shall have an operation, maintenance, and
monitoring schedule established and approved by the Health
Department and County Soil Scientist. This operation,
maintenance, and monitoring schedule and contract shall be
valid for the lifetime of the system.
6.
A note shall be placed on the Final Construction Plan
and Final Plat which states that the lots will be served by
alternative sewage disposal systems, and will require
additional maintenance.
7.
Construction Plan must include the
following:
A. 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.
B. A signature block shall
be placed on this plan for the CPSS to sign which states:
Or
C. 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.
D. The type of primary and
reserve drainfield area and number of bedrooms in the house
shall be stated for each lot.
E. The statements under
Home Sites and Road Construction shall be placed on the
same sheet as the final soils map.
F. This final soil map shall
be filed in the Fauquier County Building Office to be used
exclusively for obtaining soils information for this
proposed subdivision.
G. One copy of this final
soil map with CPSS signature shall be submitted to the Soil
Scientist’s Office before Final Construction Plan will be
approved.
H. The final signature sets
will require original CPSS signature.
Home Sites and Road
Construction
8.
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
Virginia Licensed Professional Engineer to assure a dry
basement and preclude wet yards and recirculation of pumped
or collected water. All exterior foundation drainage
systems shall be designed to gravity daylight without
assistance from mechanical means 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. 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 that “Basements are not
recommended in mapping unit 417C. Basements in this mapping
unit are subject to flooding due to high seasonal water
tables. Sump systems may run continuously, leading to
possible premature pump failure.”
9.
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.”
10.
Soil mapping units 220B and 220C are usually shallow
to bedrock. The following statement
needs to be placed on
the Final Construction Plan: “The County recommends that
before road or
home construction
begins in soil mapping units 220B and 220C 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.”
11.
Septic
drainfields shall receive a level 2 evaluation by the County
Soil Scientist’s Office, in
conjunction with the
Virginia Health Department, before the Final Construction
Plan can be
approved.
12.
The location of the house on Lot 4 shall be shifted
out of the drainageway to the maximum extent practicable.
13.
The wells for Lots 2 and 4 shall be moved from swales
and concave landscapes to the maximum extent practicable.
