[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(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? Comment addressed. 2 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.

[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. Comment addressed. 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.

[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.
