Hi Kevin,
You're expecting an answer from me in regards to the latest submission for the Sapon &Swisher Dental
Major Amendment; unfortunately, I do not have one yet.
I have reviewed the resubmission, and 3 of 4 requested changes have been met—although I did discover
a new error(or one I hadn't caught before): on the Grading& Utility Plan (sheet C104),the graphic scale
suggests a 1" = 20' scale,which is different from all of the other sheets, which have a 1" = 10' scale;
when you measure the drawing on C104,though, you see that it has been drawn to the latter scale, not
to the graphic scale provided. Please have this error rectified for the final permit set.
The fourth requested change—which deals with the proposed landscaping and utilities along Hydraulic
Rd—has been met in that correspondence from two utility companies was provided for staff review, but
that communication has not allayed staff's concerns that potential conflicts still exist. Margaret talked
with Alan Franklin this morning and discussed the issue further; she is seeking guidance from the ARB at
the next meeting, Monday,June 4th. I will be out of the office for the next week, so she will be handling
this matter in my stead while I am gone.
Hopefully we will have a resolution after Monday's ARB meeting. If you have further questions, please
direct them (for the time being) to Margaret, whom I've CC'ed to this email. I will return to the office on
Monday,June 11.
Thanks,

Hi Kevin,
In regard to number 4 in your email below,the names of Mr. Sampleswright at Century Link and Mr.
Chirico at the City of Charlottesville Gas Department were given; if Mr. Franklin has also been consulted
as well as or in lieu of either of these persons, and if this or other conversations were primarily
conducted by telephone, I would ask him/them to send you an email that could be forwarded to us in
which the discussions in question are addressed, whether that feedback is minimal or not. We desire a
paper trail for our files.

Hello Heather,
Thank you for the comments and for the suggestion to supply on the affected sheets - we will
proceed as you suggest.
Our preliminary response to the comments can be found below:
1) We will make the change as requested.
2) We will revise the planting to meet the required 25% threshold.
3) The finish will be dark bronze, but we will supply a cut sheet of the fixture in question that
has the information noted and highlighted.
4) The conversations that occurred between Mr. Franklin and the utility company
representatives happened primarily over the phone, where minimal feedback was provided.
How would you suggest documenting/ submitting those conversations? Mr. Franklin is happy
to provide phone numbers to the utility representatives, as desired, to confirm the outcomes of
those conversations by County staff.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hello Kevin,
I've just reviewed the revised site plan set with revision dates of 2-27-18.There are still some
outstanding conditions that need to be addressed, particularly with the landscape plan. Please see the
attached letter for more detail.
Because I have asked for revisions that affect only two sheets of the site plan set(C105 and C108), I
proposed that you resubmit to me just two copies of those two sheets for ARB purposes; I will slip-
sheet them into the two 2-27-18 site plan sets that I have myself. But it would also be helpful to
submit a third copy of those two sheets to J.T. Newberry, who is reviewing your site plan application.
If you prefer,you can direct three copies to me, and I will see that J.T.gets a set.

Subject: Sapon &Swisher
Heather,
I spoke with Kevin this morning. He wanted to discuss comments 2 and 4 in your comment letter.
Regarding#2 (the 25% limit on plant species), his understanding was that the ARB agreed that they could add 1 grass,
and change one grass to a shrub on Whitewood, and that would suffice for the 25% issue. He wanted to review the
minutes on this, so I sent him the link to the recording. When you get back, would you listen to it also,then we can
coordinate with Kevin again.
Regarding#4(plant and utility conflicts), I explained that the preference was to increase planting area to provide
required planting free of utilities and easements and, although the ARB sometimes approves alternate sizes and
locations for some plantings, the planting plan needs to be close to meeting the requirements when exceptions are
made.
We can talk more when you return.
Margaret

Hi Kevin, NOW `I€
I have reviewed the resubmitted materials that were delivered to our office on 1-4-18, and I have
additional requests for revisions Please see the attached letter for more details (and I have also
attached a colored/reviewed copy of the "Proposed Planting Plan"to further illustrate some of the
remarks made in the letter).
I have been speaking with Jonathan (J.T.) Newberry,the Senior Planner who is lead on the Major
Amendment to the Site Development Plan for this project, and we recommend setting up a meeting
with you, Luke Waldron, and other stakeholders to further discuss some staff concerns outlined in the
letter. Unfortunately, I will be out of town all next week, but hopefully in my absence,J.T. will reach
out to you to try to find a suitable time to meet if you all are amenable to the idea. In the interim, if
you have any questions, you can contact Margaret Maliszewski, who has been CC'ed on this email. I
will be back in the office Monday,January 22.

Good Afternoon Heather,
As luck would have it, our internet went out immediately following our phone conversation,
so I haven't been able to send the lighting plans to the printers until recently. I'll bring them
and the material samples down on Monday. Enjoy your week away from the office!
