Subject: SDP-2018-016 Keswick Hall Additions- Major Amendment
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department Community
Development will recommend approve 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.]
Requirements:

be approved until the fee is paid.
2. [32.5.2(a)] The special use permit (SP2018-001) that will allow these changes has not
been approved by the Board of Supervisors to date. The plan will not be approved until
the SP is approved. In addition, the special use permit number and any conditions will
need to be added to the plan once/if the SP is approved. For the time being, at a
minimum add the special use permit number under the zoning. Also, it was discussed
with the SP that the laundry and maintenance facility may move locations, if this occurs
additional comments may be given during the resubmittal.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Under the zoning information, list ‘Rural Area’ after RA.
4. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the heights of the proposed buildings.

it is under a different site plan number and bubble that area.
6. [32.5.2(a)] Remove the WPO/VSMP sheets from the site plan. These are not approved
with the site plan and are a separate application and approval.
7. [32.5.2(a)] Include the materials legend on all sheets (L1.0-L1.5).
8. [4.17] It is unclear if the light fixtures that are over 3000 lumens are full cut off. It should
state that lighting is full cut off to meet the ordinance.
a) How many lumens are the bollards? Any fixture that is more than 3000
lumens is required to be full cut off.
b) How many lumens are the string lights? Any fixture that is more than 3000
lumens is required to be full cut off.

determined if the spillover requirements are being met.
9. [32.5.2(d); 4.2] It appears that there are existing critical slopes in the areas that are
proposed to be demolished. Show the critical slopes and apply for a critical slopes
waiver for Board of Supervisors approval (this is also being requested to be provided
with SP2018-001). The justification will need to address the criteria 4.2.5.
10. [32.7.9] Show the grading on the landscape plan. This is needed to verify existing

trees information to the landscape sheet.
