Re: C&F Bank Final Site Plan Amendment
WWA Project No. 217036.04
Dear Ms. Kanellopoulos:
I have prepared the following summary in response to your comments and concerns dated
August 28, 2019:
Planning (Tori Kanellopoulos)
1. To note: the most important design comment is that the drive-thru needs to be moved in
order to address both Planning and Engineering comments.
Response: Please see responses below.
REV 1: Addressed. Staff determined that the distance of the drive-thru is measured from
the middle of the intersection, not the edge of the intersection. Therefore, the drive-thru
can remain in its originally proposed location.
2. 118-5.1.60] Drive-thru requirements:
a. [18-5.1.60(e)]: "Each drive-through lane shall be separated from any pedestrian
travelway, except where a pedestrian travelway crosses the drive-through lane as
provided in subsection (f), and any vehicular travel areas, by a planting strip at
least five (5)feet in width. " Provide a 5-foot or greater planting strip between the
drive-through lane and travelway.
Response: A 5'planting strip has been provided between the drive-through lane
and travelway as requested.
REV 1: Landscaping/plantings have not been provided in the planting strip.
Please show the plantings provided on at least the landscape plan(SP14).
Response (Rev 1): Landscaping has been added in the planting strip as
requested.
b. [18-5.1.60(i)] "Each entrance to a drive-through lane shall be more than fifty
(50)feet from any intersection with a public or private street or travelway without
parking. " Design changes are needed to meet this requirement. It is

recommended to move the drive-thru lane to the other side, so that it is farther
from the intersection and queuing concerns are reduced.
Response: As discussed it was determined that the distances referred to in the
drive-through ordinance are measured from the .centerline of the travelway. The
paved area behind the bank is provided for the existing loading space and
dumpsters and does not serve as a travelway.
REV 1: Addressed. Staff has determined that the measurement is taken from the
Middle of the intersection, not the edge
c_. [18=5.1.60(j)] "Each drive-through lane shall be a minimum of one hundred(100)
feet in length measured from the center of the first window:or service point. This .
length may be reduced if a study is submitted and approved by the director of
community development or his designee.demonstrating that a.shorter.length will
be sufficient for .a particular:use. " Either increase the length of the drive-thru ,
lane, or provide justification for a shorter drive-thru lane:For example, use other
comparableexistmg uses to show that queuing will not create an issue:
Response: As discussed it was determined that the distances referred to in the
drive-through.ordinance are:measured from.the centerline of the. travelway. .The
100:'distance is provided accordingly: .,. •
REV 1 Not addressed: This measurement is taken from the center of the first
window or service point and measured to the end of the drive-thru lane, Please
provide justification as to why this drive-thru lane should be less than 100 feet.
: Response (Rev 1): Per our discussions. with Bill Fritz on'.9-3-19 it was
determined that this distance is measured from:the,centerline of the adjacent
roadway and that the drive-thru meets this requirement.as 'shown on the
plans. .
d [18-5.1.60(k)] "Each drive-through lane shall extend at least twenty (20) feet
beyond the drive-through window. Extend the:drive=thru lane at least 20 :feet
beyond the window.
Response: The drive-thru lane has been extended as requested
REV 1: Addressed.
3. [18-4.12] and [Code of Development] Parking requirements:
a.. [18-4.12.6] and [COD] Number of spaces: The previously approved site plan for
this Block (SDP2014-65) shows 157 required spaces and 226 provided spaces.
This,site plan amendment shows 172 required spaces and 224 provided spaces.
Please indicate if spaces are being removed, or were not completed.
Response: No spaces are being removed with this site plan amendment. Parking
spaces were removed as part of the minor site plan amendment for BJ's
Restaurant(SDP 2016-00002).

REV 1: Addressed: 224 spaces are being provided with this.submittal. Include the
note(if still applicable)that"Includes 48 spaces from Block F+G Site Plan)".
Response (Rev 1): The note has been added to the cover sheet as requested.
b. [18-4.12.6] and [COD] Number of spaces: The addition of the Bank adds a
requirement of an additional 16 spaces. Since the parking for Block G was
previously calculated using all of the buildings in the Block, it appears that there
is a shared parking agreement. Please indicate how the Bank required parking is
being met, as there are not 16 spaces shown on this site plan amendment.
Response: Additional parking for the bank is provided within the existing Block
G parking lot. . . .
REV 1: The parking calculations for the new use need to be shown separately.
These spaces can be counted with the total.spaces, if there.is a shared parking
agreement between the uses in Block G.
Response(Rev 1):. Separate parking calculations for the bank have been
added to the cover sheet: .
c.: [18-4.12.10] Shared parking; If shared parking is being provided, please include
the shared parking agreement. This may need to be updated to include the Bank
and site plan amendment, depending on how it is worded and where it currently
covers.
Response: The bank is part of the overall Stonefield development and parking is
provided within the existing Block G parking lot The buildings and parking lot
are both:owned and maintained by O'Connor Capital:
REV 1: Include.the shared parking agreement for Block G of Stonefield. Include .
Deed Book/Page Number as applicable. Staff needs to review a copy of the shared
parking agreement The agreement should be updated to include C+F Bank.
Response(Rev 1):. C&F Bank will be.leasing this property located in Block
G. This is not a division of land so therefore a shared parking agreement is
not required for this proposed use. Block G parking is summarized.as .
follows:.
Parking Spaces Available: 224 spaces
Existing Parking Use: 159 spaces
C&F Parking Use: . 13 spaces .
Total Parking Use: . , '172 spaces
The total parking use is less than the parking spaces available so therefore
the parking for C&F Bank is accommodated by Block G. This data is
summarized on sheet C-1.

4. 118-4.12,17(c)] Travel lanes: Defer to Engineering comments: Travelway width needs to
be increased to 16 feet. This requirement may change depending on how the drive-thru is
rearranged to meet 18-5.1.60 standards:
Response: The plans have been revised to provide a 16 foot wide travel lane as
requested
REV:1:.Addressed.
5. [18-4,12.13] and [18=4.12.18] Loading spaces: It appears there are four existing loading
spaces on the approved site plan SDP2015-65,•one for each of the buildings. It is unclear
where the loading space approved with building G4 is now located or if it remains. Please
label the loading space and clarify if it is for both buildings.
Response: The existing loading space will remain and serve both buildings. The loading
space has been labeled on the plans.. . . .
REV 1: Addressed:
6. [18-4.12,19] Dumpster pads: It is unclear where the existing dumpster pad for G4 is now .
located: Please.label'and indicate if building G4 and: the proposed building will be'
sharing a dumpster: Ensure dumpster pad meets design standards:.
Response: The.: existing .dumpster .pad will.*remain and serve both buildings. The
dumpster pad has been labeled on the plans:
