travel width for the travel way shall be 20' to allow for emergency vehicle access Comment addressed.

between the two properties. Comment still applies.
4. [General Comment] A shared access easement of some type will be required for the proposed travelway serving these two
properties that extends from Crozet Avenue on the west to the alley on the east. Comment still applies.
5. [General Comment] The application number will need to be included in the title of the final site plan. Revise the title of the
site plan to include the application number for the final site plan. Final site plans are given different numbers than the
initial site plan. The application number is SDP2019-00040. Include the initial site plan number in the note on the
cover sheet indicating the date of initial site plan approval letter.
6. [32.5.2(a)] On the cover sheet, in the site data table, provide separate acreage for each of the two parcels included in this site
plan. Comment addressed.
7. [32.5.2(a)] On the cover sheet, provide the names of the county and state where this development is located (Albemarle
County, Virginia). Comment addressed.
8. [32.5.2(a)] On the cover sheet, provide the maximum setback requirements, in addition to the minimum setback requirements.
Comment addressed.
9. [32.5.2(a)] Depict and label the minimum and maximum setback lines for all yards on the site plan so staff can analyze and
ensure all setback requirements are met. Comment addressed.
10. [32.5.2(a)] Also indicate the setbacks on 1193 Crozet Avenue. It appears that there may not be the required 3-ft. minimum
setback between the building across the labelled landscaping strip to the reconstructed access -way. Comment addressed.
11. [32.5.2(a)] It appears that the bottom steps of the proposed new stairway providing access to the front of the porch extend
over the setback line and into the public right-of-way. Please revise the location of the stairway so that it meets the required
1-foot minimum setback. Comment addressed.
12. [32.5.2(a)] On sheet C-1.0, provide the deed book and page number the Crozet Avenue right-of-way. It appears there are
some relatively recent plats for this right-of-way from the project that occurred to widen the right-of-way. Comment
addressed.
13. [32.5.2(a)] Indicate on sheet C-1.0 whether the alley is a public or private right-of-way. Comment addressed.
14. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the source of title for each of the two parcels involved in this site plan. Comment addressed.
15. [32.5.2(a)] Tnclude in the zoning note on the cover sheet that these parcels also lie within the EC, Entrance Corridor Overlay

watershed. Comment addressed.
19. [32.5.2(n)] Provide clarification, including dimensions, on what is happening at the rear of the building addressed 1205 Crozet
Avenue. There are several lines that do not have clear labels identifying what they are, and it appears that an additional part
of the building (northeast corner) may become enclosed. However, the site date on the cover sheet indicates that the square
footage of the building is not changing, with only the porch being added. This information is crucial to ensure that the
requirement for a special use permit for single -story construction is not triggered.
What are the dashed lines that create a square on the southeast corner of the building? There is also a structure that is 3 feet
wide adjacent to the 5-foot wide ramp near where it meets the accessible parking space — what is this 3-foot wide element?
For clarification, is the small square structure in the dumpster enclosure at the corner of the building the grease
storage?
20. [32.5.2(r)] There is an abbreviation on the northwest corner of the building shown on sheet C-1.2 that is labelled as "DS".
However, this abbreviation is not in the legend. Please include it in the legend. Comment addressed.
21. [32.5.2(n)] From the cover sheet, it appears that outdoor lighting is proposed. A lighting plan that complies with 20B.6 and
32.7.8 must be submitted with the final site plan. Revise the luminaire schedule so that the LLF is at 1.0 for all lighting
types.
22. [32.5.2(n)] Parking bumpers need to be installed for the proposed parking spaces in accordance with section 4.12.16(e).
Indicate their locations. Provide a parking bumper for parking space #3 on 1205 Crozet Avenue, as this space appears
to be missing a bumper.
23. [32.5.2(n)] Loading areas are required for each of these parcels in accordance with Section 4.12.13 and 4.12.18. Show them
on the plan. Comment addressed.
24. [32.5.2(n)] The dumpster area does not appear to meet the requirements and dimensions of section 4.12.19. Revise the
dumpster pad area. Comment addressed.
25. 14.12.19 and 32.7.9.7 (a)(3)] Please provide a profile view detail with dimensions and materials of the dumpster pad enclosure
to verify compliance with the screening requirements contained in the Zoning Ordinance. Please note that fences or other
constructed screening measures must be a minimum of six feet (6') in height, as specified in 32.7.9.7 (e). Comment
nddrecced_
26. [32.5.2(n)] Provide the materials of the propane tank enclosure, including a detail of the enclosure on sheet 6 of the plan.
Comment addressed.
27. [32.7.3(b)] Please show the locations of all proposed mechanical equipment and utility hardware. Please provide information
so that the agent can verify they will be screened from public view.. Comment addressed.
28. [32.5.2(n)] The accessible parking space on 1193 Crozet Avenue appears to encroach on the landscaping strip adjacent to the
building. Revise the location of the parking space. Comment addressed.
29. [32.5.2(n)] Some of the parking spaces appear to be numbered. If so, 1193 Crozet Avenue is missing parking space #2. Please
clarify these labels Comment addressed.
30. [32.5.2(p)] With the final site plan, provide a landscaping plan that meets all the requirements of 32.7.9, plus any additional
landscaping required for the Certificate of Appropriateness issued by the ARB. However, 32.7.9.9, Tree Canopy, does not
apply in the DCD zoning district and is not required. Include landscaping for 1193 Crozet Avenue in this landscaping plan.
Comment addressed.
31. [32.7.9] A landscape plan will need to be included in the submission of the final site plan. Landscaping will also need to be
approved by the ARB.
a. [32.7.9.91 In the landscape plans, include a note stating that "all landscaping shall be installed by the first planting
season following the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy within the development."
b. [32.7.9.91 Add a note to the landscape plans stating, "All landscaping and screening shall be maintained in a healthy
condition by the current owner or a property owners' association, and replaced when necessary. Replacement material
shall comply with the final site plan approved landscape plan." Comments addressed.
32. [32.5.1(c)] Please show all existing utility easements on the drawings. Include a label or call out for each easement stating
whether the easement is public or private, the owner of record and the recorded instrument number, and easement width where
existing easements are visible on the plans. Comment addressed.
33. [32.5.2(n)] A crosswalk must be provided at the entrance to the accessway between the buildings to connect the sidewalk.
Comment addressed.
34. [32.5.2(n)] The parking lot as shown does not appear to meet the standards of 4.12. Curb and gutter must be provided, and it
appears there are gaps in the curb and gutter, especially in the rear of 1193 Crozet Avenue. Comment addressed.
35. [32.6.2(h)] Please provide a signature panel with a line for each member of the Site Review Committee. Comment addressed.
36. [32.5.2(k)] Please label all existing and proposed sewer and drainage easements by type and include a size/wi&
