Subject: SDP2018-00089 — Pantops Corner — Final Site Plan; 4th Submittal
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department of Community Development will
recommend approval of the plan referred to above when the following items 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 to the Albemarle County
Code.]
[General Comment; Chapter 14, Subdivision Ordinance] The boundary line adjustment plat (SUB2019-00002)
affecting this property needs to be approved and recorded prior to the approval of this site plan. In addition, an easement
plat will be required for road access, utilities, and drainage. Please show these revised property boundaries on all plan
sheets. In addition, is the temporary grading easement shown on TMP 78-6 existing or proposed? The "new boundary
lines" as shown on the site plan do not match what was approved with SUB2019-00002. The boundary lines need to
match what are the existing property lines (as SUB2019-00002 has now been approved and recorded), or another
boundary line adjustment plat will have to be submitted showing the proposed new property lines. The easement plat
(and associated deeds) will still need to be approved prior to the approval of this plan. Why does the access easement
narrow at the intersection with Route 20? It does not appear that this narrowing of the easement would provide enough
space for both a sidewalk and a landscaping strip. Acknowledged that a boundary line adjustment plat has been
submitted for review by the County, and this BLA plat will adjust the property lines to match what is shown on
the site plan. This BLA plat must be approved before approval of the site plan will be granted.
2. [32.5.2 (a)] There is currently a boundary line adjustment plat under review for these parcels. Please show and label all
existing parcel boundaries with dimensions on the final site plan, and update the deed book and page number of the
recorded instrument on the plans and the site data table on Sheet 1. Include the revised acreage on Sheet 1. Comment
not addressed, as there is an additional BLA plat under review (SUB2019-00002). Please show these lines on the
plan sheets, and update all site information accordingly on the cover sheet, including acreage, as well as deed
book and page number when that plat is approved and recorded. Submittal of BLA plat for review has occurred.
See comment above.
3. [32.6.2 (d) and Chapter 14] Please submit an easement plat and application to the County that shows all new easements
proposed by the site plan. This includes all new drainage, stormwater, public access easements, etc. The easement plat
must be reviewed, approved, and recorded prior to approval of the final site plan. Comment not addressed. Easement
plat required. Comment still applies as easement plat has not yet been approved by the County and recorded.
The deeds of easement for the plat are currently under review by County staff.
4. [ZMA201300002, 14-234 (E), 14-317, and 14-422 (C)] As part of the easement plat application, a public access
easement will need to be platted over the Pantops Comer Way and Road B private street right-of-ways. A private street
maintenance agreement will need to be approved by the County Attorney and recorded with the easement plat. As
required by Proffer #1 of ZMA2013-02, an access easement shall be provided subject to an agreement between the
respective property owners to share the cost of maintenance and construction for shared portions of the private road. A
template for private street maintenance agreement can be found on the CDD website. Comment not addressed.
Easement plat and road plans are required. In addition, the access easement must incorporate the entirety of the
sidewalk and landscaping strip on both sides of the proposed private roads. The sidewalks and streetscaping
cannot be outside of the access easement Comment still applies as easement plat has not yet been approved by
the County and recorded.
[ZMA201300002, 32.7.2.2 (a), 14-233 (B)(1)] As required by Proffer #1 of ZMA201300002, a separate "Application
for Road Plan Approval" will need to be filed in accordance with Chapter 14 in order to authorize and construct the
private streets identified as Pantops Corner Way and Road B. The road plan application must be approved prior to final
site plan approval. A certificate of occupancy shall not be issued for any buildings on TMP 78-58G1 prior to completion
of construction for Pantops Corner Way and Road B private streets. Please see proffer #2 for additional information.
Comment not addressed. Road plan required for the proposed private streets. See comments from Engineering
for additional information. Comment still applies as road plans have not yet been approved by the County.
6. [32.7.9] The landscape schedules do not include a column that states the canopy coverage area per plant species. The
canopy area for each species can be found on the Albemarle County Recommended Plants List and Albemarle County
Plants Canopy Calculation The landscaping schedule states that there are 94 shrubs within the road right-of-way
for parcel 78-5A, abbreviated RC and MP. However, when counting the RC and MP shrubs depicted on the plan,
it appears there are 107. Please address this discrepancy. Comment addressed.
7. [General Comment] Please ensure the road plans and the site plan elements within the right-of-way match, for
SDP2018-00089 and SUB2019-00024. Show sidewalk and accessible ramps at the entrance to TMP 78-5A off
Travelway B on the site plan, as these elements are shown on the road plan. In addition, comment #6 above will affect
both the road plans and the site plan. Comment addressed.
8. [32.5.2(a)] The Source of Title and Zoning information on the cover sheet will need to be revised to reflect the new
conditions created by the recordation of the BLA plat and the easement plat that are currently under review by the
County, including the new deed book and page numbers once they are approved and recorded, as well as any change in
zoning information that occurs as a result of the boundary line changes. In addition, parcels 78-5E and 78-5C are missing
from the zoning information note. Include these parcels and their zoning information, since the proposed Pantops Corner
Way and the access easement shown on this site plan cross these parcels. Also, include the source of title information
for TMP 78-5C. Comment still applies pending approval and recordation of easement and boundary line
adjustment plats.
9. 132.7.91 On the landscape plan, sheet C8, there appears to be a second bold line running along the northern edge of
revised TMP78-5A (along Travelway B) that is not labelled. It doesn't look like it's the revised parcel boundary and
may be another layer turned on by accident, as it is going through the middle of several shrubs. Please clarify what this
bold line is depicting. Comment addressed.

Comments Regarding Coordination among Plans
10. [32.7.91 The landscape plan on SDP2019-00013 (Wawa at Pantops), on sheet CP-101, indicates that the "walls and
landscaping [along Pantops Corner Way are] to be constructed/installed with the Pantops Corner development." However,
the most recent submittal of this site plan, SDP2018-00089, indicates on sheet C8 of 20 that the required 13 interior streets
trees along Pantops Corner Way are shown for reference only and the landscape design will be on the Wawa site plan,
SDP2019-00013. Please clarify on which site plan the required interior street trees along Pantops Corner Way are to be shown
for installation.
11. [32.7.91 The landscape plan for SDP2019-00013 indicates that the existing canopy (from the Pantops Corner development)
is 6,742 square feet. However, this site plan, SDP2018-00089, indicates only 5,184 square feet of total canopy for TMP 78-
5A. Please clarify this discrepancy, as the two plans will need to match.
12. [General Comment] The easement plat (SUB2419-00059) shows the private street easement for Pantops Corner Way
as 48' in width north-northwest of its intersection with Travelway B, prior to reaching the spot where it widens to make
room for the right -turn lane. However, the site plan shows the easement width as being 51.1' feet in approximately the
same location. Please clarify the discrepancy, or provide more information on one of the documents to allow for more
precise comparison.
