Subject:
SDP201900050 Longhorn Steakhouse - Final Site Plan
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. [Conditions of Variation Approved 7-17-191 The final site plan shall comply with the following conditions:
1. The final site plan must provide a shared use path, at least 10 feet wide, along the
entire expanse of the eastern boundary of the lease area. The path must:
a. Connect to the required sidewalk along the southern egress for the site.
b. Include a 6' wide landscape strip between the shared use path and
the mall "ring road" travelway, planted with street trees meeting
the requirements of Section 32.7.9.5.
Final: Comment not addressed. The 10' wide shared use path width shall be measured from the
back of the curb to the edge of the shared use path. Currently the shared use path is only 9.5' wide
with a'/2' curb. Revise the shared use path to be 10' wide. Additionally, the 6' wide landscape strip
shall be measured from the back of the curb to the edge of the landscape strip. Currently the
landscape strip is only 5.5' wide with a'/2' curb. Revise the landscape strip to be 6' wide.
Also, parking spaces abutting the 10' shared use path shall not be permitted a 2' overhang into the
shared use path. For the 14 parking spaces affected provide bumper blocks to prevent parked
vehicles from overhanding into the shared use path.
2. If VDOT does not approve a connection of the northernmost proposed shared use path to the existing
sidewalk on Rte. 29, then the applicant must provide in place of the required sidewalk along the southern
egress of the site either a 10' wide shared use path and a 6' wide landscape strip OR a 10' wide sidewalk
and a 6' wide landscape strip for the duration of the southern egress road. In either case the landscape
strip must abut the road and be provided the required street trees pursuant to Section 32.7.9.5 to buffer
pedestrians. The total width of these improvements shall be 16' wide.
Final: Comment not addressed. VDOT has not received the required information from the
applicant to review/approve a connection of the northernmost proposed shared use path to the
existing sidewalk on Rte. 29.
2. [33.44, 32.7.2.3(a), 32.7.2.3(b), 32.7.2.3(c)] Provide a 5' wide sidewalk along the southern egress road south of
the site. Ensure it connects to the existing sidewalk along Rte. 29 and the required shared use path discussed
above. The pedestrian connection shall meet ADA standards.
Final: The use of a 5' sidewalk in this location is contingent on condition 1.2 of the variation being satisfied.
VDOT has not received the required information from the applicant to review/approve a connection of the
northernmost proposed shared use path to the existing sidewalk on Rte. 29.
3. [33.44, 32.7.2.3(b), 32.7.2.3(c)] The 8' wide shared use path along the northern boundary of the lease area shall
be revised to be 10' wide.
Final: The 10' wide shared use path width shall be measured from the back of the curb to the edge of the
shared use path. Currently a portion of the shared use path, nearest the striping, is only 9.5' wide with a'h'
curb. Revise the shared use path to be 10' wide.
4. [32.7.9.5(e)] Provide a single row of 12" tall evergreen shrubs along the perimeter of the parking area adjacent
to Rte. 29 and the southern egress road where there is currently a large opening being produced by the uneven
spacing of the street trees.
Final: Comment not fully addressed. There are three parking spaces abutting Route 29 which are not screened.
Either continue the evergreen shrubs to fill this area or provide another large shade tree in this area.
5. [32.5.1(c), 32.6.2(a), 32.6.2(g), 32.7.5.1, 4.1] Offsite storm sewer and sanitary sewer easements are required on
TMP 06100-00-00-13000. This property is not owned by the same owner as the subject property. All required
off -site easements must be approved and recorded prior to final site plan approval. Recordation information of
this action shall be provided on the final site plan.
Final: Comment not addressed. Submit easement plat and applications for County review.
6. [32.6, 32.4.3.2, 32.4.3.3, 32.4.3.6, 32.4.3.2] The final site plan shall not be approved until all SRC reviewers
have approved the plan. Their comments are referenced below and attached.
Final: Comment still relevant.
7. [32.6, 32.6.1, 32.6.21 The final site plan shall meet all the requirements of section 32.6 of Chapter 18 of the
Code.
Final: Comment still relevant, I offer the following review comments.
8. [32.6, 4.121 The plan depicts 43 shopping center parking spaces; however, the calculations on sheet C2.1 work
out to 38 spaces remaining for shopping center if 85 spaces are provided the restaurant use out of the total 123
parking spaces. Revise general note P on page C2.1 to match the parking being allocated in the plan. I offer the
following suggested calculation:
71 spaces required for the restaurant use x 1.2 = 85 spaces provided for the restaurant use
+ 38 provided for the shopping center use
Total = 123 parking spaces
9. [32.5.2(a)] Sheet C1.2 is missing from the site plan, revise to include it. Additionally, please provide a total
number of sheets.
10. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the source of the topography.
11. [32.5.2(k)] Provide flow arrows in all storm drainage pipes.
12. [32.5.2(1)] Depict, label, and dimension all utility easements, including gas.
13. [32.6.2(d), 32.6.2(g)] a. Depict and clearly label all existing and proposed utility easements as required, both
onsite and offsite.
b. Provide water line profiles and depict all utility crossings on water and sewer profiles. Depict and label
existing water and sewer facilities to which proposed water and sewer piping to be connected; include sizes.
c. Clearly label all facilities and easements to be dedicated to public use.
d. Provide a statement identifying all water and sewer facilities and easements that are to be dedicated to the
Albemarle County Service Authority.
14. [32.6.2(e)] Depict all symbols and abbreviations used on the plan.
15. [32.6.2(i), 4.12.181 Dimension and label the proposed loading area onsite. Minimum loading space size is 12'
wide, 25' long, and 14 'h clearance.
16. [36.6.2(k), 4.17] Lighting. ARB has extensive required lighting plan changes. Revise the lighting plan to meet all
ARB review comments.

18. [36.6.2(k), 4.171 Lighting. Provide total lumens for all proposed light fixtures.
19. [36.6.2(k), 4.171 Lighting. Provide manufacturers cutsheets for all lighting fixtures.

including but not limited to the LED cove lighting and ground -mounted lighting.
23. [Comment] Revise the cover sheet to remove reference to the Initial Site Plan and include the site plan application
#: "SDP201900050".
24. [32.6.20), 32.7.9.5(d)] Landscaping. The plan depicts temporary construction easements along the property's Rte.
29 frontage which were granted to VDOT; however, within these easements are required plantings. VDOT shall
approve the plantings in these easements. If VDOT approval is not received the planting islands shall be expanded
and the required trees shall be planted outside the easement.
25. [32.6.2(j), 32.7.9.81 Tree Canopy. Revise the landscape schedule on sheet Ll.l to provide canopy SF counts for all
plantings above 5' at 10-year maturity. These figured will enable staff to determine if the canopy calculations for the
site are met. Canopy calculation information can be found in the County's Approved Plant Canopy List.
26. [32.6.2(j), 32.7.9.51 Street Trees. Add 1 large street tree to the frontage of the property to meet the minimum

Provide a sample for review.

Review #3
Dear Mr. Perez:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Dynamic Engineering, revised
6 August 20I9. The comments are re -printed here as neither have been addressed in the current
version.
1. Provide details concerning the proposed retaining wall modification. Details will be sent
to the Culpeper District Structure & Bridge Section for review.
2. It appears that runoff will concentrate on the proposed pedestrian connection from both
sides. This will have to be properly managed; please provide detail.
If further information is desired, please contact me at 434422-9782.
However, note that a VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-
of-way. The owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency Transportation and
Land Use Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process.
