Subject: SDP201800063 Hydraulic Road, LLC - Minor Amendment
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plan referenced above once the following
comments 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, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
1. [Comment] As mentioned in the pre application meetings the site plan shall provide the following notes:
"a) All waste water into the septic system will be domestic wastes. " If this is not the case, a special use permit is
necessary.
Also please provide the following notes: "b) The retail sales area will not exceed 25% of the gross floor area of the
main use. c) This use will not involve outdoor storage and display. " Rev 2. Comment addressed.
2. [4.20] Setbacks. Revise the setbacks as follows: Rev 2. Comment partially addressed. Please omit the line for the 30'
maximum building setback through the plans. Rev 3. Comment addressed.
3. [4.16] Parking. On the plans label which parking spaces are for customers. Rev 2. Comment addressed.
4. [32.7.9] Landscaping. Provide a complete landscape plan. Rev 3. Comment addressed.
5. [Comment] On the cover sheet provide the following "SDP2018-63 Minor Amendment". Rev 2. Comment
6. [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.
