Home My WebLink AboutSDP201900044 Review Comments Final Site Plan and Comps. 2019-09-24COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road, North Wing Charlottesville, Virginia 22902-4596 Phone (434) 296-5832 Memorandum To: Clint Shifflett, Timmons Group (clint.shifflettktimmons.com) Anna Fontaine, Timmons Group (anna.fontaine@timmons.com) Kevin Murphy, Autozone (kevin.murphy@autozone.com) From: Mariah Gleason Division: Community Development — Planning Date: September 24, 2019 Subject: SDP201900044 AutoZone — Final Site Plan The final site plan referenced above has been reviewed by the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department of Community Development (CDD) and by other members of the Site Review Committee (SRC). The Planner will approve the plan when the following items (from the Planner and from other SRC plan reviewers) have been satisfactorily addressed and when all SRC plan reviewers have indicated in writing their tentative approvals. [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.] 1. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] Application reference number. In the heading of the cover sheet, please change the site plan reference number to SDP201900044. The initial site plan application number for this project was SDP201800090, while the final site plan application number is SDP201900044. 2. [32.6.2(h)] Signature panel. Remove the "Health Department" signature line and replace with a signature line for the "Albemarle County Architectural Review Board". [32.5.2(b), 32.7.9.5(d)] Landscaping and utility conflicts. The property's frontage along Route 29 and a portion of Westfield Road are encumbered by a 40ft utility easement. Please resolve the following conflicts. Also, prior to final site plan approval, provide written authorization from the easement holder that the proposed plantings are permitted within the easement. If authorization is not received, then the planting strip must be enlarged to accommodate the required plantings outside the easement area. a. Along Route 29, (9) Ginkgo Biloba and (12) Magnolia Virginiana plantings conflict with the Dominion overhead utility line and easement. Per an email exchange with Dominion dated 9/26/2018, Dominion will not allow the height of trees located in the utility easement area to exceed 20ft, which will happen as these species are large canopy trees. b. Along Route 29, (8) Magnolia Virginia plantings may be in conflict with an ACSA water line and easement. Please coordinate the location of these plantings with ACSA staff. c. The Ginkgo Biloba planting nearest the intersection of Westfield Road and Route 29 may be in conflict with an ACSA sewer line and easement. Please coordinate the location of this planting with ACSA staff. 4. [32.6.20), 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(s)] Landscape plan. Include all easement linework on the landscaping plan, as the planting scheme will need to be in harmony with the existing onsite utilities. It looks as though the linework for the 40ft gas easement may have accidentally been turned off during the last export. 5. [32.6.2(k), 4.17.4] Lighting plan. a. Spillover of lighting from fixtures cannot exceed 0.5 footcandles at the property line. Review and revise accordingly. b. Provide a fixture label for all fixtures shown on side of the building fronting Westfield Road. One fixture appears to be missing a label. c. Revise the Luminaire Schedule table to provide a maintenance factor, or LLF, of 1.0. All Albemarle County photometric plans are evaluated based on a maintenance factor of 1.0. d. Please provide higher resolution cut sheets for the proposed fixtures. Much of the information shown on the cut sheet scans is currently illegible. 6. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(i), 32.5.2(k)] Stormwater easement. Regarding review comment #11 below, from Engineering, if a stormwater easement is needed for this development, the easement will need to be submitted, approved, recorded, and noted on the site plan before approval of the final site plan can be granted. 7. [Advisory Note] Proposed sign. a. Please be aware, the sign location depicted on the plan appears to be in conflict with the proposed landscape plan. Specifically, the intended sign location may be obscured by or in direct conflict with proposed plantings. b. Please be advised, also, that the proposed sign will need both a certificate of appropriateness per Sec 4.15.2, as provided in Sec 30.6, and a sign permit per Sec 4.15.5. 8. [General Comment] Future use or development. Approval of this site plan does not approve any potential future use, development, or notes indicating future phases. A development application will need to be submitted to the County for approval prior to any additional development on this parcel.
