Review comments are provided below, organized by Department, Division, or agency. Planning During our initial review, staff have taken into consideration the temporary, restricted -access characteristics of this request as we have analyzed the proposed project's consistency with the Comp Plan, its potential on-site and off-site impacts, and all other issues. Another notable consideration is the property owner's broader intentions of this temporary connector road eventually becoming a permanent, unrestricted private street to function as the new primary entrance into Boar's Head Resort and Sport's Club. These review comments are reflective of these multi -phase dynamics; and where appropriate, efforts have been made to identify broader, long-term considerations that may not be directly applicable now, but which may be applicable to future improvements and development (and which may have implications for the current planning, design, and regulatory review for the temporary connector road). Concerns about this request have been raised by VDOT and ACSA. However, Planning staff have not identified any required changes or revisions that need to be addressed prior to the Planning Commission public hearing that is scheduled for October 31, 2017. Staff are in the process of developing and finalizing recommended conditions of approval for this proposal, to present to the Planning Commission for their consideration; please see the "SP Conditions" subsection, below, for more details. Zoning The following comments related to zoning matters have been provided by Zoning Administrator Amelia McCulley on 10/02/2017: 1. For several reasons, permanent improvements such as landscaping, may not be appropriate for a temporary short-term use. Non -vehicular connections, such as pedestrian and golf cart crossing paths may be considered more appropriate as these improvements are helpful whether there is a permanent interconnecting road or not. 2. Before construction commences an easement or some other document may be necessary to provide legal permission for construction on the Boar's Head Sports Club property, tax map parcel 059D2-01-00-01500. That property is held by the entity "University of Virginia Host Properties, Inc." 3. A condition relating to traffic control during this special event is relevant. It may be appropriate to use the VDOT Maintenance of Traffic (M.O.T.) plan for this requirement. 4. We will review existing conditions for approval of the indoor golf facility to determine what additional conditions may be relevant for the currently proposed use. Engineering The following comments related to engineering have been provided by County Engineer Frank Pohl, P.E., C.F.M. on 9/29/2017: 1. VSMP permitting will be required if LDA exceeds 10,000 s£ 2. A private road plan submittal will be required. Confirm and provide existing pavement width and slope for Golf Course Drive all the way to SR250 as part of the road plan submittal. (Planning staff will provide clarification on this comment next week.) VDOT The following comments related to transportation matters have been provided by Adam Moore, P.E., on 10/4/2017: 1. Please provide MOT (Maintenance of Traffic) plan sheet to be put on file for traffic control. Architectural Review Board The following comments related to Entrance Corridor and Architectural Review Board matters have been provided by Margaret Maliszewski on 9/27/2017: 1. The temporary connector road is not expected to have a visual impact on the Entrance Corridor or on nearby historic resources. Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) No written review comments have been provided by ACSA as of the date of this letter. However, at an Interdivisional meeting on 9/29/2017, Alexander Morrison, P.E., provided initial feedback 2 which Community Development staff have attempted to summarize as follows (below). Please coordinate directly with Mr. Morrison if you need clarification or explanation of the following. 1. ACSA indicated there are "quite a few concerns" with this proposal, and how this proposal relates to separate proposed projects that are also in process of review. Specifically, conflicts were noted between the existing water main and the proposed grading, stormwater infrastructure, and landscaping. 2. ACSA also noted that issues with the existing water line have been identified during recent reviews of the UVA Squash and UVA Golf site plans. ACSA expressed the importance of reviewing these projects holistically, and noted that it may be necessary to require a "utilities master plan" to be prepared and submitted to ACSA. 3. ACSA noted specific issues with the existing 6" water line along Berwick Drive, adding that these issues have been previously identified, and ACSA has previously requested revised modeling and associated data to reflect the existing 6" water line. (Previous modeling and analysis used a 12" water line, which is incorrect.) 4. Either a partial upgrade or a full replacement of the existing water line will be necessary. Revised / corrected modeling is necessary before ACSA can determine the location and extent of required water line replacement. 5. ACSA also noted that no expansions or new development are to be permitted at the Boars' Head Sports Club without this existing 6" water line being replaced along Berwick Road, as it is now considered undersized and unable to accommodate increased demand/service. Fire Rescue corroborated this important detail, noting that the existing Sports Club facility is close to being "short on fire flow requirements." 6. ACSA indicated the need for the applicants to confirm the similarities or discrepancies between the currently -proposed (temporary) road alignment and the future (unrestricted / permanent) road alignment. Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (RWSA) The following RWSA comments have been provided by Victoria Fort, P.E., on 9/27/2017: 1. RWSA has reviewed the provided materials for the Boar's Head Temporary Connector Road (SP201700023) and does not anticipate any impact to existing or planned RWSA facilities. Fire/Rescue The following comments related to Fire/Rescue have been provided by Robbie Gilmer on 9/25/2017: 1. The proposed gate will require a Knox Pad lock for emergency access when closed. Please note that the Community Meeting was to be scheduled and conducted, in accordance with the Community Meeting Guidelines (see attached), on or before October 5th. This stipulation was specified in the Mandatory Pre -Application Meeting memo prepared by Mrs. Elaine Echols, FAICP, and provided on September 15, 2017. Potential Impacts to Road Network: The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has noted that the applicant needs to provide a special event Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) Plan in connection with this special use permit amendment request. The MOT Plan is to include a "parking plan" component as well as a "traffic 3 control plan" component, which should detail how the applicants or property owners will provide traffic monitoring and traffic control assistance, especially in connection with turning motions at the intersection of Golf Course Drive and U.S. 250 during event arrivals and departures. VDOT indicated no objections to postponing broader transportation analysis and discussions, including the possibility of future signalization (or other intersection improvements) at Golf Course Drive and U.S. 250, until such time that the property owners intend to request approval(s) to construct non -temporary, unrestricted transportation improvements. Future Land Use and Development in Area B: Please note that the subject property is located within "Area B," which is an area for cooperative planning with the County of Albemarle, the University of Virginia, and the City of Charlottesville. Area B contains land which lies at the boundaries of the University in either the City or the County, or has otherwise been designated as part of Area B; and on which the activities of any, or all three, of the parties might have a significant effect, as designated on the Map. Development in these areas continues to be guided by the current City and County Comprehensive Plan and the current University of Virginia Plan. This three -party planning agreement takes place through the Planning & Coordination Council (PACC). All substantial land uses, improvements, and development within Area B should be formally presented to PACC for review and comment. Permitting Requirements: In addition to the requested special use permit amendment for Birdwood, please be aware of the additional submittals and approvals that will be necessary in order to construct the proposed temporary connector road. These requirements were specified in the Mandatory Pre -Application Meeting memo prepared by Mrs. Elaine Echols, FAICP, and provided on September 15, 2017. - Road Plan - WPO Plan - Special Lot Plat for the road right of way (after special use permit amendment approval) Any and all future permitting requirements for the proposed non -temporary, unrestricted private street will be identified at whatever such time the property owners intend to request approval(s) to construct such improvements. At minimum, the future permitting requirements will include a special use permit amendment for the Birdwood property, as well as a zoning map amendment and site plan amendment for the Boar's Head property. Additional future submittals and approvals may also be required by the County and/or partner agencies for the proposed non -temporary, unrestricted private street and/or other proposed uses and improvements. SP Conditions: Staff are in the process of developing and finalizing recommended conditions of approval for this proposal; the recommended conditions will involve or address the following issues: ■ Development must be in general accord with the concept plan (received 9/21/2017), with major elements currently identified as: - a gate (or similar physical barrier for access management); and - pedestrian infrastructure (including sidewalks, crosswalks, and exterior lights). 4 ■ Temporary access (use of temporary connector road to be restricted to dates specified in project narrative: 7/22/2018 — 8/11/2018). ■ Engineering and Fire -Rescue approval of specifications and locations of all access management measures, including the gate (or similar physical barrier) and all associated signage (or other informational materials). ■ Approved Maintenance of Traffic Plan (MOT Plan) As indicated earlier in this letter, no resubmittal is necessary at this time; however, if you choose to resubmit for any reason, please use the attached form. There is no fee for the first resubmittal. The resubmittal date schedule is provided for your convenience.

Keeler, P.E. (dkeeler@dewberry.com) Mr. Chris Schooley(cschooley@uvefoundation.com) From: Tim Padalino, AICP—Senior Planner Division: Planning Services Date: September 29, 2017 Subject: SDP-2017-00058 UVa Golf Facility—Final Site Plan The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department of Community Development(CDD)will recommend approve of the plan referred to above when the following items have been satisfactorily addressed. The following comments are those that have been identified at this time; additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review. [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.] 1. [SP2017-09] Update Special Use Permit Condition notes on sheet C0.01,per BOS action on 9/13/2017. A copy of the conditions of approval is included with this review comment letter. 2. [SP2017-09] The final site plan does not demonstrate compliance with the conditions of approval for SP- 2017-00009. Please revise the plan set to address and resolve the following issues related to the conditions of approval: a. Condition#1(e) and Condition#2(b)—Earthen berms must be constructed adjacent to the new parking lot, as shown on the approved"Illustrative Site Plan" concept plan. Show the topography and/or contours of the berms on all applicable plan sheets, and provide a berm detail. b. Condition#1(d) and#2(d)—For the purposes of retaining the trees shown for preservation, show existing/proposed contours, limits of disturbance, and the location and type of tree protection measures on all applicable plan sheets. c. Condition#1(d) and#2(d)—Sheet C2.02 proposes land disturbance within the driplines of the existing 55"ash tree that is identified for protection and preservation. Please revise the grading as necessary to ensure that no land disturbance occurs within the driplines of trees that are to be protected and preserved. d. Condition#2(d)—A Conservation Plan must be prepared by a certified arborist for use in conjunction with the Conservation Plan Checklist on Sheet L1.01 ("Tree Clearing and Protection"). The contents of Sheet L1.01 appear to have been prepared by a licensed landscape architect, and not a certified arborist. 3. [4.12.15(g)] Curb and gutter is required at the edges of parking areas and along travelways. Please revise. a. Note: Per 4.12.2, design requirements of sections 4.12.15 may be modified or waived by the Zoning Administrator, with or without conditions, after consultation with the County Engineer. b. Note: If any such modification or waiver is granted by the Zoning Administrator,please provide documentation. All such modifications or waivers must be noted prominently on the relevant sheet(s) as well as in the General Notes(Sheet C0.01), inclusive of any conditions of approval, the applicable code sections, and the date of approval of the waiver or modification. 1 4. [4.12.16(c)(1)] The minimum travel way width for two-way traffic is twenty(20) feet. Please revise. a. Note: Per 4.12.2, design requirements of sections 4.12.16 may be modified or waived by the Zoning Administrator, with or without conditions, after consultation with the County Engineer. b. Note: If any such modification or waiver is granted by the Zoning Administrator,please provide documentation. All such modifications or waivers must be noted prominently on the relevant sheet(s)as well as in the General Notes (Sheet C0.01),inclusive of any conditions of approval, the applicable code sections, and the date of approval of the waiver or modification. 5. [32.6.2(c)] Tree Protection practices are proposed for two existing trees (55"ash and 40"cedar) adjacent to the parking area. However, the dripline of the existing 55"ash tree is shown inconsistently. For example, Sheet C1.02 ("Existing Site Conditions"), Sheet C2.02 ("Demolition and E&S Control Phase I Plan")and Sheet C3.02 ("Site Plan") show a large canopy for the 55" ash,but Sheet L1.01 ("Tree Clearing and Protection"), Sheet L1.02 ("Landscape Layout Plan"), and Sheet L1.03 ("Landscape Planting Plan") show a small canopy for the 55" ash. Please review and address this issue by ensuring the canopies of all existing trees identified for protection and preservation are depicted accurately and consistently across all sheets. 6. [32.7.9.4] Show existing/proposed contours, limits of clearing, and location and type of tree fencing or other tree protection measures on the Landscape sheets (L1.01,L1.02,L1.03,and/or L1.04, as appropriate). 7. [32.6.2(a)and 32.5.2(n)] Show the location of any proposed sidewalks or pathway element(s)between the new parking lot and the proposed facility, as applicable; and add construction details for all proposed types of pathway elements, as applicable. 8. [32.6.2(k)] Provide cut sheets for proposed lights (full cutoff lights required), list mounting heights, show light fixtures on all site plan and landscape sheets. See review comments from Heather McMahon for additional detailed comments on Lighting Plan issues and requirements. 9. [32.6.2(e)] Add"TP"(No. 3.38: "Tree Preservation and Protection")to"Legend"—"Virginia Uniform Coding System"on Sheet C0.01. 10. [32.6.2(a)and 32.5.2(r)] Provide explanation of"----SD----" symbol contained on Sheet C3.06; and add that symbol (with label)to"Legend"on Sheet C0.01. 11. [32.6.2 and 32.5.2] Remove the SWM/VSMP sheets (C6.01 —C6.06 within"Civil"package)from the final site plan set. 12. [32.5.2(n)] Remove the"8' high chain link construction fencing"and"proposed logging mats, staging, and stockpile area"from Site Plan(Sheet C3.02),unless it is intended to be a permanent improvement. Only permanent features should be shown on Site Plan sheets(C3.01 —C3.04);temporary features or practices should not be shown on the Site Plan sheets (C3.01 —C3.04). Therefore, either the fencing and hatched rectangle area needs to be removed from Sheet C3.02; or, if the staging/stockpile area is intended to be a permanent site improvement, then keep it on Sheet C3.02 and also add that element to all other applicable sheets. 13. It is recommended(but not required)that the"Project Zoning Data"notes on the Cover Sheet (T1.01)be revised or expanded to note that the"proposed building maximum gross square footage"is 14,000 SF. This would be consistent with the approved plans and legal notice advertisements for SP-2017-00009; and this would also help to eliminate any future confusion stemming from the existing note which states that the"proposed building maximum footprint: 6,710 SF." 14. Final site plan approval(s)must be obtained from all other applicable Site Review Committee members prior to Community Development granting final site plan approval. Please continue to coordinate directly with all other applicable review agencies on their review of this final site plan. Please contact Tim Padalino at the Department of Community Development at(434)-296-5832 ext. 3088 or tpadalino(cialbemarle.org for further information or assistance. 2 Recommended Conditions of Approval for SP201700009 PC Recommendations (August 8, 7:0) + Community Development and County Attorney's Office In 1.
