those that follow were provided 8l2119: 1- Provide the proposed site alterations on the approved landscape plan and show how you intend to reconcile the previously approved OT (Thornless Honey Locust) in the southwest corner of the landscaping island at the crosswalk with the addition of a transformer - The revisions have not been made on the previously -approved landscape plan as per my request, and only some of the landscaping from that previously -approved plan is present on this sheet, which leads to confusion- For instance, the seven OY bushes which are to the west of the dumpster enclosure are not 'new' — they are present in the approved landscape plan; the 1 OC and the 3 LS trees that are shown to the west and north of the dumpster and the new proposed retaining wall are also not snew," as they have been previously approved as well- Therefore, the language on the plan should be adjusted to accurately reflect that you are not proposing these species for the first time here, since they have already been approved- The only landscaping that is actually 'new' to this request are the MC shrubs on the southern side of the new proposed retaining wall - Again, these changes need to be made on the previously -approved landscape plan and the landscape schedule on that plan must be adjusted for the newly proposed MC shrubs - As for the Honey Locust (OT) in the southwest corner of the landscaping island at the crosswalk, the center of a large shade tree is planted within 3 feet of a concrete pad- I have my doubts as to whether this is suitable area for a large shade tree, in terms of the trees longevity; if the tree dies due to too small/crowded a planting area, the site plan and property will no longer be in concert- 2- Clarify what is meant by "shorten eastern most landscaping island and shift parking spaces" as the present configuration of islands and parking spaces within the bubbled area does not appear to differ from what was previously approved- OK- 3- No "north end retaining wall" appears on the approved final site plan, so the retaining wall proposed adjacent to the northernmost dumpster (to be enlarged) is a new retaining wall, not a relocated one- Rectify the language oil the LOR site plan and provide the top and bottom wall height of the proposed retaining wall as well as its material and the color of the material within a detail provided on the LOR sheet- Provide this on a landscape plan to show how the visibility of the v all will be mitigated by landscaping from the EC_ Thankyou, the 'new north end` retaining wall has been properly labeled as new, the top -of --wall and bottom -of -wall values, and the brand name and color series of the retaining wall material has been named- The addition of 16 new wax myrtles (MC) suffices to mitigate the wall's appearance from the EC- However, these changes need to be made to the previously -approved landscape plan and the landscape schedule changed to reflect the addition of 16 new MC in addition to the 36 MC that were previously approved (see first comment)- 4- Provide shrubbery on the street side of the northeast retaining wall to mitigate its appearance - The northeast retaining wall is adjacent to Rt- 20- On the plan it is in the lower right-hand corner- If shrubbery has been added to this v all on the street side, I cannot see it on the plan Clarify Add the shrubbery to the revised landscape schedule on the previously -approved landscape plan - Page: County of Albemarle Printed On: 0812-V20'19 PROJECT MANAGEMENT SFIIM CIVIL ENGINEERING LAND PLANNING ENGINEERING August 2nd, 2019 Mr. Tim Padalino,AICP Senior Planner Albemarle County Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville,VA 22902 Regarding: SDP 2017-62 -Riverside Village Block 1 LOR-Comment Response Transmittal Dear Mr. Padalino, Please find attached the submittal package for the revised Letter of Revision for Riverside Village Block 1.

We have revised the LOR Plan per your most recent comments dated July 15, 2019. Please find below a detailed response to each of your comments. 1. Provide the proposed site alterations on the approved landscape plan and show how you intend to reconcile the previously approved GT(Thornless Honey Locust) in the southwest corner of the landscaping island at the crosswalk with the addition of a transformer. All revised landscaping has been included on Sheet Cl of the revised LOR Plan. The Thornless Honey Locust was moved from its location within the southwest corner of the landscaping island to the location shown on the LOR Plan. All landscaping within this landscaping island has been provided on the LOR Plan. (--r w/i►c 3 0 C df —}Y ,t vtll, -=7 suss z ik?b - 2. Clarify what is meant by"shorten eastern most landscaping island and shift parking spaces" as the present configuration of islands and parking spaces within the bubbled area does not appear to differ from what was previously approved. The crosswalk landscaping island required additional space to fit the transformer pad. It did not create a major difference, however it was enough to require all parking spaces to be shifted to the West, using space from the Western most landscaping island to accommodate. C. 3. No "north end retaining wall" appears on the approved final site plan, so the retaining wall proposed adjacent to the northernmost dumpster(to be enlarged) is a new retaining wall, not a relocated one. Rectify the language on the LOR site plan and provide the top and bottom wall height of the proposed retaining wall as well as its material and the color of the material within a detail provided on the LOR sheet. Provide this on a landscape plan to show how the visibility of the wall will be mitigated by landscaping from the EC. The north end retaining wall is now labeled as "New". The wall heights, elevations, material and color have been provided on the LOR Plan. The associated landscaping around the new retaining wall has also been provided on the LOR plan to demonstrate the visibility of the wall. Page 1 of 2 4. Provide shrubbery on the street side of the northeast retaining wall to mitigate its appearance. Shrubs have been provided on the front of the northeast retaining wall.
