Zaxby’s Restaurant

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Looking to capitalize on a highly visible location on busy US Highway 29 (Emmet Street) in the City of Charlottesville, we were hired to design a site plan for a new Zaxby's restaurant. Our familiarity with Charlottesville's requirements and the community-at-large were instrumental in overcoming two challenges related to the desired lot. First, we helped the developer obtain a Special Use Permit for a drive-thru window by participating in community meetings, attending planning commission meetings, and working with City staff to address public concerns and comments. Second, our firm developed a site plan for this narrow lot that not only met the City's setback requirements but also provided Zaxby's with their desired number of parking spaces and a drive-thru lane. We also developed preliminary and final site plans that showed the phased removal of the existing restaurant, layout of pedestrian routes, code-compliant landscaping, dumpster enclosures, and new utility services.

WVWA Salem Turnpike Sanitary Sewer

[vc_row content_aligment="center"][vc_column][vc_column_text] The Authority replaced approximately 3,000 LF of 8- and 10-inch sanitary sewer along Salem Turnpike with 18-inch sewer. The project’s goal was to upsize the undersized sewer to meet current and future wastewater demands, prevent future sanitary sewer overflows, and decrease the potential for infiltration and inflow (I&I). Draper Aden Associates provided utility design, surveying, geotechnical investigation, and SUE. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

UVA Gibbons House

[vc_row content_aligment="center"][vc_column][vc_column_text] Draper Aden provided site planning and engineering services for the demolition of an existing building and the construction of a new 65,365 GSF student housing facility including topographic survey, Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE), site planning/civil engineering and LEED® evaluation services. Due to the existing slope of the site, stormwater planning and erosion and sediment control were especially challenging. Additionally, the new residence hall and amenities must be designed to tie into a large number of existing utilities and a concurrent construction project on an adjacent site. Draper Aden was also involved in the master planning efforts for buildings 6, 7, and 8. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
