Memorandum
To: John Thier
From: Paty Saternye, Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: August 7, 2019
Subject: SDP201900042 Chattanooga — Colonnade Drive — Initial Site Plan
Fax 434-972-4126
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.]
Comments to be addressed prior to the Initial Site Plan approval:
1. Pay an additional $220 for the required notices fees. The fee for notice fees was revised in early June. It is now $435.
Since only $215 was paid there is an outstanding balance for the fees due.
mments to be addressed with the Final Site Plan submission:
2. A site plan meeting all the requirements of section 32.6 of Chapter 18 of the Code.
[4.20] Setbacks. Address the following:
a) Revise the setback descriptions to fully specify the setback requirements. There are special circumstances both for
parking setbacks and when a sidewalk is outside of the street right of way that apply to these parcels and therefore
should be included in the setback descriptions.
a. Revise the front setback to include the wording about when the sidewalk is outside of the ROW.
b. Revise the front setback to specify the setback for parking and loading.
c. Clarify the location of the private street right of way. There appears to be one which does not include the
sidewalks and then another property line further into the property which makes it appear that the
sidewalks are in the private street right of way. It cannot be determined if the sidewalk is inside or
outside of the street right of way.
b) Remove the dumpster enclosure from the side and rear setback to residentially zoned property. "No portion of any
structure, excluding signs, shall be located closer than 50 feet from the district boundary."
c) Provide both of the setbacks to "residentially zoned" property for the City parcel at the back of the two subject
parcels.
d) Revise the site plan so that the setback requirements to the "residentially zoned" parcel in the City are met. The
50' and 20' setbacks are required to that parcel as well.
[21.7(c)] Use buffer adjacent to residential and rural area districts. Revise site plan to meet the undisturbed buffer
requirements and the screening requirements for both sides of the properties that are adjacent to a residentially zoned
property. This includes the City parcel behind the subject parcels. "No construction activity including grading or
clearing of vegetation shall occur closer than twenty (20) feet to any residential or rural areas districts. Screening shall
be provided as required in section 32.7.9." Because the 20' buffer must be left undisturbed the screening requirement
must be met outside of the 20' buffer area unless a special exception is granted by the Board of Supervisors. No
clearing, grading or improvements can be done in the 20' buffer without a special exception being granted. See 21.7(c)
for a list of the specific circumstances when the BOS may waive these requirements.
5. [Comment] Stand along parking is not allowed on a parcel without a special use permit (SP). Either a boundary line
adjustment must be done prior to the final site plan approval or submit an applicant, fee, and all required
documentation and request letter for a SP. A shared parking agreement would also be required in order to utilize
parking on an adjoining parcel.
6. [Comment] If a Boundary Line Adjustment (BLA) will be done in order to address this offsite parking show this in the
site plan. If this is to be done a BLA Plat will be required under a separate submission and with appropriate fees.
[32.5.1(c) & 32.5.2(a)] General information. Address the following:
a) Include in the Zoning area of the cover sheet the ZMA# (ZMA1998-16) for TMP60-40C3, the Airport Impact
overlay, and the Steep Slopes — Managed overlay information.
b) There are proffers for ZMA1998-16. They should be included in the site plan sheets.
c) Revise the departing lot lines, and the parcel information, to be up to date. TMP60-40B2 no longer exists and was
merged to be part of TMP60-40B 1.
d) Show all required setbacks. Please note, there is an adjoining city parcel that is residentially zoned and setbacks
have not been shown from that parcel.
e) Provide all of the required information for the abutting parcel that is in the city. That parcel is a residential parcel.
See other comments in reference to requirements for commercial uses adjoining residentially zoned parcels.
[32.5.2(d)] Topography and proposed grading. Address the following:
a) The Managed Steep Slopes, although shown on the sheets with the proposed layout, are hard to distinguish except
on the existing conditions sheet. Use hatching, or some other method, on at least one of the proposed sheets so
that it is clear the improvements that will impact the managed slopes.
b) Ensure that the design standards in the steep slope overlay district, for managed slopes, is followed.
9. [32.5.2(f)] Watercourses and other bodies of water. The site plan does not show the existing stream in the same
location as the County's, or City's, GIS. Address the following:
a) Ensure that it is accurately located on the site plan.
b) Address engineering comments in reference to any disturbance of the stream or buffer.
c) Provide the watershed note on the cover sheet of the site plan.
10. [32.5.2(i)] Streets, easements and travelways. Address the following:
a) Accurately represent the right of way lines for the existing private street. As stated above, there appears to be two
different lines for the right of way and property line. It cannot be determined if the sidewalk is inside or outside of
the street right of way.
b)
c) Provide the centerline, and dimension the pavement widths, for the existing private street.
11. [32.5.2(j)] Existing sewer and drainage facilities. If the proposed retaining walls remain where they are shown on the
initial site plan, provide documentation that allows the building of retaining walls within the existing drainage
easement.
12. [32.5.2(k)] Private & public easements. Address the following:
a) It appears that a public stormwater management easement will be required.
b) Provide the location and dimension of all proposed private offsite easements. See engineering comments in
reference to the possible need for offsite construction and/or grading easements.
c) Any easements required by the County must have the easement plat submitted (separate application, fee and
submission) and approved prior to the approval of the final site plan.
13. [32.5.2(1)] Existing and proposed utilities. Address the following:
a) Show all existing utilities and easements. There are utilities near the corner of TMP60-40D0. If any of this
equipment is within the TMP60-40C2 parcel it must be shown on the site plan and any easement associated with
them also shown.
b) If there are any existing telephone, cable, electric or gas easement within the site, internally or along the edge of
the private street, show them on the site plan and include the deed book and page numbers for the easements.
c) Show any proposed utility easement. The submission, review, approval and recordation of a plat and deeds of
easement for all proposed easements will be prior to final site plan approval.
14. [32.5.2(m)] Ingress and egress. Provide the distance to the centerline of the nearest existing street intersection in both
directions.
2
15. [32.5.2(n)] Existing and proposed improvements. Address the following:
a) Clearly label and/or delineate areas of sidewalk and walkways. The sidewalks along Colonnade Drive are not
clearly shown, are not hatched and are not labeled.
b) The line that may represent the sidewalk appears to be within the parcel and not within the private street right of
way. If this is the case, show all information available on any existing access easements along the existing
sidewalk.
c) Provide all dimensions and components of the dumpster pad and ensure they meet or exceed the minimum
requirements.
d) Add a dimension for the width of the entrance from the private street.
e) Add a typical dimension for the depth of the parking spaces.
f) There are not enough parking spaces provided to meet the minimum parking requirements for the proposed use. If
the applicant wishes to request a reduction in the required parking, follow the steps specified in section 4.12.12 in
reference to Transportation Demand Management (TDM). An applicant seeking to reduce the number of required
parking spaces through TDM shall submit to the zoning administrator a parking study demonstrating how the
number of required parking spaces may be reduced through TDM. TDM is a set of tools that provide an alternative
to parking spaces upon a demonstration that the number of vehicle trips upon which the minimum number of
parking spaces required herein will be reduced. TDM tools include, but are not limited to, mass transit, car
pooling, and park and ride lots. The zoning administrator may reduce the number of on -site parking spaces using
TDM alternatives if the parking study submitted by the applicant demonstrates that the use of TDM tools can
effectively eliminate the need for some of the required parking spaces. If this option interests you please make the
request, provide the study with appropriate justifications for the Zoning Administrator's consideration.
g) Provide the required loading space on the site plan.
h) Please note that business signage is not approved with the site plan. Although it is appropriate to show the
monument sign location on the site plan please not that a full review of the location, dimensions, and details of any
business signage is reviewed separately from the site plan.
i) Provide the required handicapped parking space signage.
16. [32.5.2.(e), 32.5.2.(p) & 32.6.20)1 Landscape plan. A landscape plan is required in the final site plan that complies
with section 32.7.9. A landscape plan was submitted but requires additional information for the final site plan. Such
information should include, but is not limited to, the following:
a) Full schedules and information on the plantings proposed.
b) Updated information on calculations, such as canopy, once species are specified.
c) Revise calculation so that required number of trees is rounded up and not down, such as in the street tree
calculation.
d) Existing trees and landscape features
e) Conservation checklist (signed, dated & filled out). Please note that there are areas required to be maintained as
"undisturbed buffers" (see other comments on required buffers). All existing vegetation in those areas must be
undisturbed and conserved.
f) Tree preservation details.
g) Show shrubs that will be provided in the planting areas of the parking lot.
h) Screening of the parking lot from the two adjoining residentially zoned parcels (TMP60-40C4 & Parcel 7-1.101 in
the City).
i) Screening of the required loading space and dumpster location.
17. [32.5.2(n) & 32.6.2(k)] Outdoor lighting. A photometric plan is required on the final site plan that meets all
requirements of section 4.17. Ensure the photometric plan includes all free standing and wall mounted lighting that is
proposed.
18. [Comment] Please note that business signs are reviewed by separate submission.
19. [Comment] See the other SRC reviewer comments attached. All SRC reviewer comments must be sufficiently

General
1. Provide field run surveyed topographic data as basis of Final Site Plan (FSP) design.
2. Source of topographic data is listed as county GIS, but topographic information is inconsistent with GIS.
Note especially the centerline of drainage feature, shown off -site on ISP, but on -site in GIS. ISP should be
re -submitted with either field run survey, or topographic information consistent with GIS, if GIS is used as
basis of Initial Site Plan design.
3. GIS topographic features indicate a drainage feature and show blue stream line that may be a perennial
stream. Provide conformation that drainage is either intermittent or ephemeral, and not a perennial stream.
If feature is perennial, establish and show stream buffer on FSP, and revise proposed development design
consistent with Ch. 17, Article VI, Stream Buffers.
4. An approved VSMP Plan is pre -requisite to FSP approval. From Engineering perspective, conceptual
design shown on C6.0 is sufficient for ISP approval. With VSMP, please include plan note and analysis
that consider Colonnade Drive runoff which appears to bypass the site in pre -development condition, but
appears partially routed to detention (via relocated DI) in the post -developed condition. Engineering does
not object to relocating DI, but requests FSP confirm effect: non -capture (pre- ) vs. capture (post-).
Note: with VSMP plan, provide complete calculations, including RV calculations, Energy Balance Eq.
5. SWM Facility /Access easement with deed must be recorded prior to FSP approval.
6. Recommend title sheet note that parcel lies within ACSA service area for water and sewer.
7. Ensure project has all relevant state /federal permits, including Army Corps of Engineers permit for any
stream or wetland impacts.
8. Identify existing wetlands, if any (FSP).
9. With FSP, identify area or length of any wetland or stream impacts.
10. Provide detailed retaining wall design prior to FSP approval /ref. attached Retaining Wall Plan checklist.
11. With FSP, provide comprehensive drainage design. Revise to include plan /profile drainage data, tables,
elevations, inlet /storm pipe design, etc. and provide inlet capture for hardscape areas to prevent ponding.
Please see Drainage Plan review checklist (attached /also, county website).
12. C1.2: Include VDOT ST-1, IS-1 details (MH steps /inlet shaping).
C4.0:
Engineering Review Comments
Page 2 of 2
13. Recommend label typical length of parking space/s (TYP.=18.0').
14. Provide off -site temporary construction /grading easement for retaining wall construction. Lowest tier wall
is approximately 6.0' away from the nearest property line.
15. C5.0: It is Engineering understanding that no grading is allowed within the 20' landscape buffer located
parallel to south property line. Revise grading per landscape buffer requirements.
16. L1.0: Recommend review and revise if needed planting design to limit potential conflict between tree
canopy and dumpster lift operations, which may require 14' vertical clearance above dumpster pad.
Please feel free to call if any questions. Thank you
