Revision 1: March 29, 2019
Subject: SDP201800088 Sunrise Senior Living — Addition to the Colonnades - Major Amendment
Review Comment Letter #2
Your Major Amendment application has been reviewed. In order for the amended site plan to be approved the following
revisions are required:
1. [Albemarle County Site Plan Amendment Policy] A Major Site Plan Amendment is required after the third Minor Site
Plan Amendment to the original site plan. Major Site Plan Amendments must incorporate all changes approved with
previous Letters of Revision (LORs) and Minor Site Plan Amendments (MINAS). Since the original Colonnades site plan,
dated 1989, there have been four (4) MINAs and three (3) LORs approved for this development (see below for a full list).
• SDP 199100070 — Relocation of satellite dish,
• SDP 199200058 — Addition of a storage shed,
• LOR 8) SDP198900074 — Addition to existing library
• SDP200600028 — Building addition (including associated landscaping and walkways),
• SDP200800071 — Deck addition,
• LOR (2012) — Addition of four decks, and
• LOR (2014) — Addition of an above ground fuel tank.
Since Major Site Plan Amendments serve to capture all previous divergences from the original site plan, this submission
will need to be revised to include a plan map that locates and records all of the previous LORs and MINAS listed above.
Please do so by including a sheet at the beginning of the plan that shows all existing development on the property. The map
can be diagrammatic in nature — showing at least outlines for structures, parking areas, and pathways. On this map, identify
all LORs and MINAs locations where changes to the original 1989 Site Plan were made. With each LOR and MINA, please
include a note or exhibit to demonstrate what changes were made and which amendment instrument approved the change.
LOR and MINA locations demarcated with hollow bubbles or bounding boxes are acceptable. If there are additional
changes, or as -built, adjustments on the property that diverge from the original Site Plan, that is fine, just indicate as such on
the plans.
Rev. 1: Thank you for including these materials in the resubmission. Please see follow-uo comments below:
a. Please provide a 2-3 sentence narrative describing the change(s) that occurred with each minor amendment on
Sheet C 1.1.
b. It appears there might be a clerical error on Sheet C1.1. Please amend the middle Minor Amendment reference
on the right-hand side to "SDP198900074".
c. On Sheet C 1.2, please change the exhibit photo for LOR (2012) to an image that locates the four deck
additions. (Recommend using the attached image (pdf) provided by Staff. There are two versions of the image
within the pdf document; one is the original (pg2), and the other is a markup by Staff to use as a reference
when identifying the locations of the decks (pal). Please use a similar call -out mechanism on the final exhibit.)
d. Note: SDP199200058 identified many as -built utility locations in addition to recording anew storage
2. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a), 32.5.2(s)] On Sheet C0.0, please provide the following information associated with the site:
a. Please list all previous application plans (LORs, MINAs, etc.) Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
b. All applicable zoning and zoning overlay districts (Entrance Corridor)
Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. The subject property parcel falls within the Entrance Corridor Overlay
District. As such, please remove "(no longer applied)" from the overlay district notes.
c. That the property is served by public water/sewer Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
d. Minimum setback lines
Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. Additional research into the ZMA associated with this development
(ZMA198800009), found that there are also proffered front setbacks on this property. They are as follows:
i. A wooded buffer area 30ft in width along the margin of Barracks Road
ii. An additional 70ft setback for the location of structures along Barracks Road
**Total of 100ft setback
e. Maximum height of all structures Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
f. Any codes of development and bonus factors applicable to the site Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
g. Deed Book and Page for any and all easements recorded on -site Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
3. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] A WPO amendment must be approved prior to major site plan approval. Please submit a
separate Water Protection Ordinance (WPO) application. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
4. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] On Sheet C0.0, please remove "Erosion and Sediment Control, & Stormwater Management
Submittal" from the title block. Therefore, please amend the title to "Major Site Plan Amendment" and include the County -
assigned application number, "SDP201800088". Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
5. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(h)] Major Site Plan Amendments need to be physically signed and dated by each member of the site
review committee. Please revise the County Signature Block on Sheet C0.0. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
6. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] On Sheet C0.0, in addition to the sheet list, please provide a total number of sheets. Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
7. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(p), 32.7.9] Landscape plan. A landscape plan that complies with section 32.7.9 is required for
the major site plan amendment. For this application, please include a planting schedule in the next submission.
Rev. 1: Thank you for providing a landscaping plan in this resubmittal. Please see follow-up comments below:
a. [32.7.9.4(b)l In addition to, and as prescribed by, the Conservation Checklist, please show the limits of
clearing as well as the location and type of protective fencing that will be used to preserve existing trees during
construction.
b. 132.7.9.4(a)1 While County Code requires the site plan to show proposed plant materials, these plantings are
not required to meet any additional regulations. Therefore, this planting schedule is not required to align with
the County's recommending planting list. It is recommended, but it is not required. That said, to avoid
confusion in future reviews or inspections, it is recommended that the applicant add a note to Sheet L1.01 to
clarify that "the planting schedule shown here is not required to meet any regulated standard and, as such, the
chosen plant materials do not need to demonstrate alignment with the County's recommended planting list."
8. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(e)] Please show a tree line for the wooded area southwest of the project site on all sheets. Rev.
1: Comment addressed.
9. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] Regarding setbacks on the property, per the 1988 ZMA, the side yard setbacks are 150'
(Note: this is a proffered setback). Currently, the side yard setbacks are being depicted and labeled as 50'. Please revise the
plans to provide correct setbacks. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
10. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(d)] On Sheet C1.0, it looks like the contour labels may have been left off by accident. Please
add them back. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
11. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] Sheet C1.0 includes two benchmarks, however one — "benchmark capped rod" — is divorced
from any relational data, and it is therefore difficult to discern where this benchmark is located. Please provide contextual
linework to help identify this feature's placement on -site. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
12. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(1)] On Sheet C1.1, please include the location of all existing utilities and utility easements that
are related to the use of the proposed addition and/or exist in the project's disturbance area.
Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. The stormwater facilities management easement proposed in coordination with site
plan amendment will first have to be recorded and then reflected (via deed book and page number) on this site plan. (Please
be aware that the new easement may impact the way in which easements are currently referenced in the site plan. Currently,
there is only one easement instrument reference, so it was acceptable to include it within the cover sheet notes. With the
addition of another easement instrument, it is suggested that all instrument references move to accompany individual
easement call -outs on the site plan man.)
13. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(i, j,1, and s)] When comparing the development/disturbance area to the original site plan, it
appears that this area contains a utility easement and fire truck access area. Please include this information on all relevant
sheets. Regarding the utility easement, include a note referencing the Deed Book and Page in which the easement is
recorded. Please see the original site plan for more information. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
14. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(s)] Please reorder sheets such that Sheet CL 1, being more contextual in scale and in nature,
precedes Sheet C1.0. This change will also serve to lessen the number of scale changes between four sequential sheets,
which is preferable. Rev. 1: Comment sufficiently addressed.
15. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(d)] On Sheet C2.0, please ensure that contour lines are provided across the entire disturbance
area. It appears that some end abruptly, particularly surrounding the construction staging area. Rev. 1: Comment
addressed.
16. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.1(e)(6), Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(n)] On Sheet C3.0, please include the dimensions and square footage of the
proposed building; it was unclear what the "match existing" label indicated. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
17. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(n)] On Sheet C3.0, show existing paths and demonstrate how the proposed paths will tie into
the current network of travelways. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
18. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(p), 32.7.9.4(b)(2)] Please provide a Conservation Checklist to ensure that specified trees will be protected
during construction (see attached). Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
19. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(n)] Please label the maximum heights of all retaining walls and distinguish between new and
existing. Rev. 1: Comment sufficiently addressed in applicant's response letter.
20. [Z.O. Sec 32.6.2 (c)] Per Sheet C4.0, the proposed western walkway appears to have a slope of 8.3%. Is this correct? If so,
this does not align with Note #2 provided on that sheet. Please revise. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
21. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(k)] Please provide an outdoor lighting schedule in the next submission. This should include a photometric
plan and location, description, and photograph or diagram of each type of outdoor luminaire.
Rev. 1: Thank you for providing a lighting elan in this resubmittal. Please see follow-up comments below:
a. Albemarle County assesses photometric plans based on a maintenance factor, or "LLF", of I.Q. Please revise
the photometric plan on Sheet E7.03 to reflect this requirement. (Note: Before the C/O is issued, site inspectors
will use the lighting plan to evaluate whether the as -built lighting aligns with the site plan. It is therefore
recommended to base the lighting plan on a "Day 1" scenario.)
b. It appears many of light fixtures listed in the Luminaire Schedule on Sheet E6.02 will not be placed outdoors
and are therefore not required and/or regulated by this site plan. Please remove indoor fixtures from this table
to avoid potential confusion.
c. The number of lumens listed on Sheets E7.03 and E7.04 for fixture L1-3 do not match. Please review and
revise as necessary.
22. [Z.O. Sec. 35.11 Fees. The public notification fee for this project was nog fully paid, uicrc is a rcmaming oaiance of $23.70.
Please pay the fee prior to any further review/action of the plan. Rev. 1: Fee was paid. Comment addressed.
New Comments Based on Revised Plan:
23. MO. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] On Sheet C1.0, please show departing lot lines for properties that fall within the visible plan
area, particularly for the Out of Bounds Community as this area is fully developed. Also, please provide lot information (e.g.
owner(s), zoning and parcel numbers) for any property that DIRECTLY abuts the subject property. This information
currently appears to have been left off of properties lying east of the subject property.
24. MO. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] The Sheet List provided on the cover does seem to align with the ordering of the sheets.
Please review and revise if necessary.
25. [Suggestion] For clarity, it is suggested the applicant revise the title for Sheet C2.0 to "Existing Conditions and
Topographic Survey".
