Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) — Andy Reitelbach, areitelbach&albemarle.org — Requested
Changes:
1. [General Comment] Because this project involves improvements that are located on other parcels, these other
parcel numbers and the site information data for these parcels should also be included. (Parcels 78-58G1 and 78-
5B)
2. [General Comment] The Existing Conditions sheet should show what the actual conditions are at the site today,
not what is proposed on other site plans, and should include all three parcels involved in the overall development
of this area, as the proposed travelways are partially on those parcels.
What is currently shown on the Existing Conditions sheet should be shown on a separate page indicating that
these improvements are shown on an approved initial site plan, along with that plan's application number,
SDP201800039.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Identify the setback lines on all sheets showing the property, including on the other two parcels for
the Existing Conditions and requested new sheets.
4. [32.5.2(a)] Please provide the tax map and parcel numbers for all three parcels involved in the overall
development of this project, including the two parcels adjacent to Wawa's that include the proposed new roads
and travelways.
Also, include the full 14-digit TMP number for each of these three parcels (e.g., 07800-00-00-005A0).
[32.5.2(a)] The Overlay District note on the cover sheet should include "Steep Slopes — Managed," as well as
the overlay districts found on the other two parcels, which include "Steep Slopes — Preserved" and Floodplain
Hazard Overlay District." These various overlay districts should be identified by which parcels they are located
on. These overlay districts should also be shown on each sheet where the property is shown, including the
Existing Conditions, Site and Utility Plan, and Landscape Plan, as well as the requested new sheet from comment
#2.
In addition, all other aspects of the Project Data should include information for all three parcels, as a portion of
this project does extend on the two adjacent parcels as well.
6. [32.5.2(a)] In the project data information on the cover sheet, include that state and federal dam break inundation
zones overlay parcels 78-58G1 and 78-513. Also, on the existing conditions sheet and the requested new sheet,
shown the limits of these two zones.
7. [32.5.2(a)] In the project data information on the cover sheet, identify the building setbacks for front, rear, and
side yards, and label accordingly.
8. [32.5.2(a)] Please include a note describing the zoning map amendment that relates to this property, ZMA2013-
00002, as well as a list of the proffers and conditions included in that ZMA.
9. [32.5.2(a)] In the title, please specify that it is the Rivanna Magisterial District.
10. [32.5.2(a)] Please include a numeric scale, in addition to the graphic that is already included.
11. [32.5.2(a)] On all sheets showing the property, please include the names of the owners, the zoning district, the
tax map and parcel numbers, and the present uses of all abutting parcels.
12. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the dimensions and deed book and page number of the re -located VEPCO easement along
Route 250 that is shown on sheet CS-101.
13. [32.5.2(b)] Provide the proposed height of the canopy structure on the cover sheet, in addition to the height of
the convenience store building that is already provided.
14. [32.5.2(b)] Please revise the parking schedule on the cover sheet. Please see the following comment from the
Zoning Division:
After reviewing your request for a waiver to the maximum allowed parking, Zoning has reconsidered the parking
calculation used for the use proposed with this plan. Instead of the 1 space per 200 sq. ft. of floor area, Zoning
recommends that the site plan use the following calculation. Revise the plan as noted below:
SHEET CA-100
BUILDING
AREA
6049 SF GFA
PARKING
1 SPACE PER 100 SF OF RETAIL SALES AREA FOR THE FIRST 5000 SF
REQUIRED
OF RETAIL SALES AREA. RETAIL SALES AREA = 80% OF THE GROSS
FLOOR AREA (GFA)
6049 * 0.8 = 4839
4839 / 100 = 48
PARKING
48 SPACES
PROVIDED
15. [32.5.2(b)] Please include the maximum amount of impervious area allowed on the site.
16. [32.5.2(b)] Include the maximum amount of paved parking and other vehicular circulation areas. This note
should include those travelways extending onto the adjacent parcels.
17. [32.5.2(b)] Please clarify that the "Maximum amount of paved parking and vehicular circulation" is for the
landscaping purposes.
18. [32.5.2(d)] Identify on the plans on all sheets those areas of the three parcels that are either managed steep slopes
or preserved steep slopes.
19. [32.5.2(h)] Identify the boundaries of the flood hazard overlay district on all sheets showing the property.
20. [32.5.2(i)] Provide the right-of-way width for U.S Route 250 on sheet CS- 101.
21. [32.5.2(i)] As Pantops Corner Way and the access road to the north of the property are required for development
of the Wawa parcel, these proposed streets need to be shown on the proposed site plan. They need to be included
as integral parts of this site plan, not shaded grey with the expectation that they are already in place. There is no
final site plan approved yet for the other two parcels, and the construction of the entire road network in this area,
so the timing of development is not yet known. In addition, the widening of U.S. Route 250 to accommodate a
turn lane must also be included on this plan.
All other required improvements must also be shown, including sidewalks and landscaping along both sides of
the two new streets (Pantops Corner Way and the access street to the north of the Wawa property), and along the
turn lane of Route 250.
These improvements must be shown on this site plan, as this site plan must be able to stand on its own, in case
a final site plan for the adjacent properties does not get approved, or if this project moves toward construction
prior to the project on the adjacent parcels.
22. [32.5.2(i)] Identification of public access easements along the proposed Pantops Corner Way and the street north
of the Wawa parcel must be shown on the site plan.
23. [32.5.2(i)] Provide the right-of-way lines and widths, and the pavement widths, for all of the new streets proposed
for this project, including Pantops Corner Way, the new street to the north of the Wawa property, and the 250

25. [32.5.2(m)] Provide sight lines at intersections, to ensure vegetation and signage does not interrupt the required
sight distances.
26. [32.5.2(n)] Clarify the width of the sidewalk on the south side of the building, as well as identifying the structure
that appears to be in the middle of that sidewalk.
27. [32.5.2(n), 4.171 Please provide a full lighting plan with the final site plan in compliance with Section 4.17
of the Zoning Ordinance.
28. [32.5.2(n)] Please provide the location of all existing and proposed improvements, including the new roads and
sidewalks that extend onto the adjacent properties.
The full set of improvements for the adjacent properties (SDP201800039) should be shown on a new sheet, not
the existing conditions sheet.
29. [32.5.2(n)] Please provide the footprint of the canopy on sheet CS-101.
30. [32.5.2(n)] Reduce the height of the canopy, as requested by the County's Architectural Review Board.

spaces.
36. [32.5.2(n)] Provide the distance from the gas tanks to the edge of the canopy.
37. [32.5.2(p)] The landscape plan must show all landscaping that is currently shown on the approved initial site
plan, SDP201800039.
38. [32.7.9] On the landscape plan, provide the length of the parcel's frontage along each of the roadways so that
staff may accurately calculate the number of street trees required.
39. [32.7.9] On the landscape plan, provide the number of proposed parking spaces so that staff may accurately
calculate the number of interior trees required.
40. [32.5.2 (e)] Please provide more details about the existing landscape features as described in Section 18-
32.7.9.4(c).
a. The Albemarle County Conservation Plan Checklist and Chapter 3.38 of the Virginia Erosion and
Sediment Control handbook. The Conservation Plan Checklist will need to be signed by the owners and

45. [32.7.9] Please provide individual landscaping schedules for required landscaping in accordance with Sections
32.7.9.5, 32.7.9.6, 32.7.9.7, 32.7.9.8 of the Zoning Ordinance. Each schedule should state the Botanical Name
and Common Name of each species proposed, the proposed caliper and height at time of installation, and the
canopy coverage area per plant species. The canopy area for each species can be found on the Albemarle County
Recommended Plants List and Albemarle County Plants Canopy Calculations tables. PDFs of these documents
can be accessed through the Department of Community Development webpage: LINK. Additional comments
may be provided regarding landscaping once a more complete landscape plan has been submitted.
a. [32.7.9] Indicate what landscaping is being used to fulfill the requirement for the required parking lot
landscaping. Provide calculations showing how the "maximum amount of paved parking and vehicular
circulation" of 5% requirement for landscaping is being met.
b. [32.7.9] Please provide calculations for tree canopy coverage, including if any existing trees are
proposed to count toward this requirement. Also, any plant under five feet in height (32.7.9.8(b)),
including shrubs, does not count toward the required canopy coverage amount. Additional tree canopy
coverage must be provided. Canopy coverage must be 10% of the overall site.

and Erosion & Sediment Control Plan for Pantops Corner, approved 6/11/14, with estimated area to
be disturbed =7.01 Ac.
5. Note: Site under development does not have an existing stormwater management plan. A Mass
Grading and ESC Plan was approved, 6/11/14. No development layout is shown with the Mass
Grading and ESC Plan. Grandfathering (9VAC25-870-48) would not apply in this instance, for this
reason. VAR10E170 (VSMP Program VPDES) permit was issued for mass grading on 9/9/14.
Grading has been performed, and site should be stabilized. If mass grade operations are complete, and
site stabilized, it is time to terminate VAR IOE170, and apply for a new VSMP permit for never -
reviewed proposed development on this parcel. Further, VDEQ SWCGP database lists Construction
Activity Operator (VAR10E170) that does not match Initial Site Plan Owner information. Albemarle
does not accept the position that this development is eligible for grandfathering, but views development
subject to stormwater quality and quantity requirements at 9VAC25-870-65 and 9VAC25-870-66.
CV- 101 (Existing Conditions)
6. Do not show:
a. Proposed development on TMP 78-58G1, which does not exist.
b. Any proposed development features on TMP 78-5A, unless they exist.

Re: SDP-2018-00078- WaWa at Pantops Corner — Initial Site Plan
Dear Mr. Reitelbach:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Kimley and Horn, dated
October 19, 2018 and offer the following comments.
Land Use
1. Pantops Corner Way is shown as existing. Currently there are no approved plans for this
street. Will this street be public or private? Comments may change depending on this
determination. This site plan cannot be approved prior to plans for Pantops Corner.
2. Please provide sight distance lines and profile for proposed entrances onto Pantops
Corner Way.
3. Please provide drainage calculations for proposed storm water management structures.
Also please show that the existing drainage structures can adequately handle the
discharge, pre and post construction.
4. Please see appendix F, page F-116, of the Road Design Manual for minimum corner
clearance standards for commercial entrances. Please see figure 4-5 for the appropriate
details. As proposed, the southern entrance doesn't meet the minimum downstream
corner clearance of 225 ft., and an access management exception is required.
5. Please provide Strom Sewer profiles and plot HGL on profiles.
