[Comment] On the cover sheet the plan references "Water Service: Existing Well"; however, the proposal is to connect to public water. Thus this note shall be revised to state "Water Service: Public Water. " Rev 2. Comment addressed. 7. [Comment] Sheet 1 lists TMP parcel as 61W-5A-1 in the depiction; however, it truly is TMP 61-5A-1. Revise. Rev 2. Comment addressed. 8. [Comment] VDH approval is required prior to County approval of the site plan amendment. Comments pending to be forwarded once received. Rev 3. Comment addressed. VDOT approval received. 9. [4.17] Lighting. Remove the lighting associated with the sign from the site plan. This sign lighting shall be part of the sign package. Rev 3. Comment not addressed. 10. [32.7.5.1, 4.11 Water supply. Depict the proposed private lateral water line easement within the State Route 743 right- of-way. Ensure that the easement does not cross onto TMP 61-4. Prior to final site plan approval submit an easement plat for County review. This plat shall be approved and recorded prior to plan approval. Rev 3. Comment not addressed. 11. [26.5] Buffer zone adjacent to district other than commercial or industrial district. No construction activity, including grading shall occur within thirty (30) feet of any district other than a commercial or industrial district. As proposed the waterline disturbs the buffer between adjacent RA zoned property and the site (zoned LI). Prior to site plan approval a special exception shall be applied for and approved by the Board of Supervisors to permit the disturbance under section 26.5(d). Or revise the proposed water line/easement location to continue in the right-of-way past the 30' buffer then cut into the site. If you do this you will not be disturbing the buffer and will not need a SE approved by the BOS. Rev 3. Comment not addressed. 12. [32.7.2.3(b)] Other sidewalks and pedestrian walkways. The existing site has a sidewalk and clear zone from the parking lot that serves the front of the building. With the expansion this clear zone is being omitted and the nearest clear zone is associated with the handicap van accessible parking space, which is 18' closer to the entrance of the site. This is creating a potentially unsafe condition by causing customers/pedestrians to use the travelway/entrance of the site to gain access to the front of the building through the permeable pavers. To remedy this situation relocate the handicapped parking space and the clear zone over two spaces to the west, also provide a 5' sidewalk between the new 1 story building addition and these parking spaces (see example below). Ensure the grade is no greater than 2 percent. Rev 3. Comment no longer relevant per conversations with Engineering staff.
