Subject: SDP2019-00062 — Georgetown Hydraulic Professional Offices — Final Site Plan
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.]
New Comments — First Review of Georgetown Hydraulic Professional Offices Final Site Plan (SDP2019-
00062):
1. [32.5.2] General Information. Include the application number for the final site plan on the cover sheet, SDP2019-
00062.
2. [32.5.2] General Information. Indicate on the cover sheet whether this site is in the jurisdictional area for public water
and sewer.
3. [32.5.2] General Information. Indicate whether the watershed this site is in is a water supply watershed or not.
4. [32.5.21 General Information. In the zoning note on the cover sheet, provide the overlay districts this parcel is in,
including the Entrance Corridor and the Airport Impact Area.
5. [32.5.21 General Information. In the boundary source note on the cover sheet, it appears that the date of the referenced
subdivision plat should be 1967, not 1867.
6. [32.5.2] General Information. Indicate whether the front setbacks provided for on the cover sheet are maximum or
minimum setbacks.
7. [ZMA2006-14 COD] Include on the cover sheet in the area summaries the 5,227 square feet of amenities that are
required by the COD (I I% of the area), as well as label that area on the site plan layout sheet.
[ZMA2006-14 COD] The COD states that the building is to be 16,815 gross square feet. Include on the cover sheet
in the area summaries the gross square footage of the actual building proposed with this site plan.
9. [ZMA2006-14 COD] The COD states that the impervious coverage of the site is 14,099 sq. ft, at 3 1 % of the site;
however, the cover sheet of the site plan indicates that the impervious coverage is more than that amount, at 19,702
sq. ft. and 43% of the site. Clarify the discrepancy. The impervious coverage cannot be more than what is permitted
in the COD.
10. [32.5.2(d), 4.2.1 Critical slopes. On all sheets, in the legend, revise the label from "GIS steep slopes" to "GIS
critical slopes >25%."
11. [32.5.21 General Information. On the existing conditions and site plan sheets, provide the deed book and page
numbers for all existing easements, including the RWSA, ACSA, and VEPCO easements, along with the temporary
construction easements.
12. [32.7.2.31 Indicate on the site plan that the proposed sidewalk will connect with the existing sidewalk to the north on
TMP 6017-1, and depict the existing sidewalk adjacent to that parcel. With the proposed widening of Hydraulic for
the right -term taper, it appears some of the existing sidewalk will also be removed. The new and existing sidewalks
must tie together.
13. [32.5.21 General Information. Label what the dashed lines behind the retaining walls are representing.
14. [32.5.20)] General Information. Depict the drainage easement that is shown on the general development plan on the
site plan layout sheet, at the northern portion of the property.
15. [ZMA2006-14 General Development Plan] Label how wide the conservation area is along the border with TMP
60-76B.
16. [32.7.2.31 Label what the element is at the southeastern coiner of the building, extending into the right-of-way of
Georgetown Road. It appears to be a sidewalk and stoop, or something similar.
17. [32.5.21 General Information. More clearly label the dashed lines that are depicted between the building and the right-
of-way. There are at least three near the center of the building, near where the bike rack is shown. One appears to be
labelled as the ZMA build -to line; however, it is unclear what the others are depicting.
18. [ZMA2006-14 COD 20A.5.i] Setbacks. The COD indicates there is a 21.9' setback line on the
site. Indicate the location of this setback.
19. [32.5.5] What is the hatched area depicted on the site plan adjacent to the parking spaces under the building overhang?
Label this area. Is it painted asphalt, a sidewalk, or something else?
20. [32.5.5] Label the locations of the pillars or other support structures for the portion of the building that overhangs the
parking spaces, so staff can ensure that these structures do not interfere with the parking spaces.
21. [32.5.2(n)] The parking spaces cannot overhang the sidewalk at the northwestern corner of the building. Revise.
22. [32.7.9] Landscaping and screening. Additional street trees are needed along Hydraulic Road. The frontage length
requires 6.2 trees, so a minimum of 7 trees is needed along this frontage. Also, identify which trees are being used to
provide the street tree requirements.
23. [32.7.9] Landscaping and screening. Provide a list of the trees being removed in the conservation area (those that
require replacement) and the trees that are being planted in order to replace them at the 2:1 ratio
24. [32.7.9] Landscaping and screening. Revise the canopy coverage table, as only those plants exceeding five feet in
height at ten years maturity can count toward the required canopy coverage.
25. [32.7.9] Landscaping and screening. Delineate the preservation and conservation areas on the landscape plan, as well
as all easements, to ensure landscaping does not interfere with required easements.
26. [32.7.9] Landscaping and screening. Are the VP plants proposed to be planted behind the retaining wall or in front
of it? It is somewhat unclear, as they look to be on top of the retaining wall.
27. [32.7.9] Landscaping and screening. The shrubs around the two parking spaces at the north end of the building,
adjacent to the site entrance, need to be shifted, as the shrubs cannot be located within the required 2 ft. parking space
overhang. The 2-ft. overhang space must be clear of obstructions.
28. [32.7.9] Landscaping and screening. The two CC forest pansy redbuds appear to be located within the RWSA
easement. These plants may need to be moved to ensure they do not interfere with the easement.
29. [32.7.9] Landscaping and screening. The LN Natchez crepe myrtle is located in the loading space. Move this tree.
30. [4.17] Outdoor Lighting. Clarify the note on the lighting plan, page 10. The note states that all
proposed lighting will not exceed 3,000 lumens. However, in the lighting table, light fixtures A and D
are labelled as having lumens of over 3,000. If any lights are proposed to have over 3,000 lumens, they
must be full cut-off fixtures.
31. [4.17] Outdoor Lighting. Several of the light fixtures need to be moved. Light "D" appears to be located partly within
the parking lot. In addition, the three "A" light fixtures appear to be located within the 2-ft. overhang for the parking
spaces. In order for 16 ft. parking spaces to be approved with 2-ft. overhangs, the overhang space must be clear of all
obstructions, including lights, trees, and shrubs.
Comments from SDP2019-00014 — Georgetown Hydraulic Professional Offices Initial Site Plan Action
Letter:
The original comments from the review and action letter for SDP2019-00014 are in gray font. Follow-up comments from the
review of the final site plan, SDP2019-00062, are in black font. Please address these follow-up comments as well.
[ZMA2006-14 General Development Plan] Conservation Area. Modify each sheet of the plan to
clearly depict the extent of the conservation area and the preservation area as approved with the
general development plan. Please lightly gray or hatch each area out so they are easily
distinguishable. The physical improvements (parking, retaining walls, drain pipes, filterras, and
ripraps) depicted on the general development plan that are adjacent to or within the conservation area
shall not extend further into the conservation area than depicted on the general development plan.
Clearly depict the preservation and conservation areas on all sheets (e.g., it is difficult to distinguish
the conservation area on the landscape plan.). Also, the riprap at the southwestern corner of the site
extends farther into the conservation area than shown on the general development plan and needs to
be shifted so that is does not extend farther than the general plan shows it.
[ZMA2006-14 General Development Plan] Conservation Area. Revise the limits of the
conservation area adjacent to TMP 60-76B to match the limits depicted on the general development
plan. Comment addressed.
3. [ZMA2006-14 Proffer 41 On the existing conditions sheet please mark each tree over 12"
diameter to be removed within the conservation area. There appears to be an 18" oak in the
preservation area (near where the 50' setback line crosses the preservation -conservation areas
border) proposed to be removed. This tree cannot be removed because it is in the preservation
area. Revise the demolition plan to show this tree being maintained.
[ZMA2006-14 General Development Plan] The max height and general design of the retaining
walls (Redi-Rock) shall conform to the general development plan. The retaining wall at the
southern end of the parking lot is located in a different area than what is shown on the general
development plan. On the general development plan, it is depicted to the southwest, against the
conservation area; however, on the site plan, it is depicted on the southeast, closer to the street.
Revise.
132.5.2(d), 4.2.] Critical Slopes. Clearly depict and label all critical slopes onsite. Also, label which slopes
4
are proposed to be disturbed. Provide this information on the existing conditions sheet, the grading sheet,
and the site plan sheet. Also, provide critical slope area calculations (total SF of critical slopes to be
disturbed). Clarify whether any of the critical slopes on the adjacent property to the north or near the right-
of-way of Hydraulic Road are to be disturbed. (There appears to be some disturbance of critical slopes
within the right-of-way. Also, there appears to be a need for disturbance of critical slopes on the adjacent
property within the proposed temporary construction easement.) If they are, include that square footage
within the amount proposed to be disturbed. Provide the deed book and page number for the temporary
construction easement located on TMP 60E-1.
6. [ZMA2006-14 COD 20A.5.i] Setbacks. Visually depict and label setback lines for the
development. Also, revise the setbacks listed on the cover sheet as follows:
Front setbacks from the building corners:
9.6' & 13.47'
Front setbacks from center of the building:
21.9'
Building setbacks from the RA zoning:
47.5'
Clarify the setback line depicted along the
front of the property. There appear to be
two dashed lines intertwining in this area. In
addition, clearly label each of the setback
measurements listed above. The 21.9'
setback does not appear to be shown.
7. [ZMA2006-14 COD 20A.5.i(5)] Maximum Building Height. Revise the maximum building
height information as follows: 2 stories, 50' (measured at the front facade) and 3 stories, 60'
(measured at the back to include basement). Comment addressed.
8. [ZMA2006-14 COD 20A.5.d] Amenities. Provide the required 14' wide concrete sidewalks along
the front of the site as depicted in the general development plan. The sidewalk does not appear to be
14' wide in some areas, as there are steps and a front porch/stoop included instead. These elements
are not depicted on the general development plan. In addition, these step/porch structures appear to
be within the right-of-way.
9. [ZMA2006-14 COD 20A.5.d] Amenities. Provide a sidewalk connection from the parking area to
the sidewalk at the front of the site. Comment has not been addressed.
10. [ZMA2006-14 Proffer 1] Depict and label the location of the required 5-bike bicycle rack. Installation of the
bicycle rack shall be completed prior to CO for the building. Revise the location of the bicycle rack. It is not
shown in the same place as it is depicted on the general development plan.
11. [ZMA2006-14 Proffer 21 Depict, label, and dimension the required bus shelter. Construction of the
bus shelter shall be completed prior to the issuance of the CO for the building. The location of the
bus shelter has been determined by the County's Transportation Planner, Dan Butch (see attached
review comments for the location). Location #1 is the preferred location to locate the shelter but the
County will accept location #2 as an alternative site if it better suites the applicant. Please ensure the
final site plan includes an additional sheet which depicts the shelter's location, it's design, and any
grading and construction required to build the shelter. Also, if there is not adequate room in the
right-of-way to locate the shelter an offsite easement shall be obtained by the applicant and recorded
in the Clerk's office prior to final site plan approval. Provide the recordation information for the
easement on the site plan. This comment has not been addressed, as the required bus shelter does not
appear to be shown on the site plan.
12. [ZMA2006-14] Proffers. On the final site plan clearly list the proffers. Comment addressed.
13. [ZMA2006-14 COD 20A.91 Amenities. On the plan depict and label the two required picnic
tables and benches. See the general development plan for location. More clearly label the
picnic tables and amenity area. The font is too small to be legible.
14. [32.5.21 General Information. The northern most retaining wall appears to cross the property line into
TMP 6017-1. Additionally, there is a sewer connection proposed on TMP 60E-1. Prior to final site plan
approval offsite easements for these improvements shall be approved and recorded in the Clerk's office.
On the final site plan label and depict the easements and provide their recordation information. This
comment has not been addressed, as the sewer connection still appears to be on an adjacent parcel.
15. [32.5.2(q)] Traffic Generation Figures. On the site plan provide the estimated traffic generation
figures for the site based on current Virginia Department of Transportation rates; indicate the
estimated number of vehicles per day and the direction of travel for all connections from the site to
a public street. Comment addressed.
16. [32.7.2.11 Vehicular Access to Site. Each entrance onto any public street shall be designed and
constructed as required by the standards of the Virginia Department of Transportation. VDOT
approval of the entrance to the site shall be required prior to final site plan approval. Comment not
addressed; VDOT must grant approval of the site plan prior to final site plan approval.
17. [ZMA2006-14 General Development Plan] Landscaping. Revise the landscape plan as follows:
- Replace the five (5) viburnum x rhytidophylloides plantings at the southeastern portion of the
building with six (6) 7-8' tall Ilex x Patriots.
- Add two (2) 7-8' tall crepe myrtle multi stemmed plantings at the southeastern portion of the building
- Replace the thirty seven (36) green boxwoods shrubs along the northern property line with
a row of 4-5' tall viburnum x pragense to fill this area.
-Provide the following note on the landscape plan: "Female gender ginko trees will not be used"
Comments not addressed, as the gingko trees appear to have been removed from the site plan, although they
show up on the general development plan, and the required note about female gingko trees is not provided.
18. [ZMA2006-14 COD 20A.3.b] Parking and Loading. Label the 3 parking spaces for the adjacent
6
property. Please list the adjacent property's TMP that these spaces are dedicated to. Comment not
addressed.
19. [4.12] Parking. Omit the double stacked parking throughout the site.
If double stacked parking is to remain submit a waiver request application and associated review fee.
Provide the required information under Section 4.12.2(c) for County consideration to the standards of
Section 4.12.16(a). Review and approval of this waiver shall be required prior to final site plan approval.
Comment addressed.
20. [4.12.13(e), 4.12.19] Parking and Loading. Provide the required dumpster, dumpster pad, and screening.
To omit the required dumpster submit a waiver request application and associated review
fee. Provide the required information under Section 4.12.13(f) for County consideration.
Review and approval of this waiver shall be required prior to final site plan approval.
Comment not addressed. Provide a dumpster and required accessory elements, including
pad and screening.
In addition, what are the trash containers at the southeast corner of the building?
21. [32.5.2] General Information. The TMP listed on the cover sheet is incorrect. The true TMP is
060170-00-00-00300. Revise. Comment addressed.
22. [32.5.2] General Information. The C-1 zoning listed on the cover sheet is incorrect. The zoning of
this parcel is NMD. Revise. Comment addressed.
23. [32.5.2] General Information. On the plans provide the following note: "This parcel is subject to
ZMA2006-14 with associated proffers and Code of Development. " Comment addressed.
24. [32.5.1(c)] Dimensions. Throughout the plan dimension all proposed improvements. Comment not
addressed. More clearly identify the limits of the building versus the other elements proposed for the site,
including the portions of the building proposed to overhang the parking spaces.
25. [32.5.2(n)] Outdoor Lighting. Any proposed outdoor lighting must be shown on the site plan. A
photometric plan and lighting cut sheets must be provided with the final site plan. Proposed lighting

Review #1
Dear Mr. Reitelbach:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Roudabush, Gale, &
Associates, dated October 25, 2019, and offer the following comments.
1. Please show and label mill and overlay limits to adjacent travel lane on plan view.
2. Please provide an MOT plan in accordance with the Virginia Work Area Protection
Manual. MOT plan should be on a separate sheet and designed for this project,
include the proposed mill and overlay.
3. The sidewalk, along the North side frontage, from existing property line to CG-12
does not appear to meet the minimum width requirements and should be 8ft. wide or
revised to provide a 3'ft., buffer strip next to the curb. Please clarify. Adjacent
property appears to have concrete and asphalt from curb to building. Please show
how these areas will be addressed.
4. Please add CG-12 construction detail and general construction notes for this site's
construction and inspection. CG-12 type B appears to be the detail with the closest
match to this submittal.
5. The right-in/right-out entrance must be physically restricted. Include a partial access
entrance restrictive median and detail for Right-In/Right-Out on the plan. See VDOT
Road Design Manual, figure 4-4, commercial entrance channelization island.
6. proposed building roof drains should not discharge towards or across VDOT right-of-
way. Please show how the drainage runoff will be adequately discharged.
7. Landscaping plants and trees adjacent to the sight distance triangle will need to be
maintained in area between 2 and 7 feet above ground as a clear zone to preserve
sight lines and accommodate pedestrians.
Please note that the final site plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design Manual
Appendices B (1) and F, as well as any other applicable standards, regulations, or other
requirements. The Access Management Exception (A-E) is under review.
Please provide two copies of the revised plan along with a comment response letter. If further
information is desired, please contact Max Greene at 434-422-9894.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The

Christopher,
RWSA has reviewed the Site Plan for Georgetown Hydraulic as prepared by Roudabush, Gale & Associates, Inc and dated
03/07/2019 and has the following comments:
General Comments:
1. RWSA requests a permanent 20' easement along the eastern boundary of the property for the existing RWSA
12" water line. The easement should extend 10' on either side of the pipe centerline or to the VDOT right-of-way
line, whichever is closer. Show the proposed easement on plan sheets 3-5.
2. RWSA is concerned about the proximity of the footers of the building to the water line. Additional information
on the type and depth of the building footers will be needed in order to determine the extent of impacts on the
RWSA water line (see Sheet 3 comment, below).
Sheet 1:
1. Include the RWSA General Notes this sheet (see attached).
Sheet 3:
1. RWSA is concerned about the proximity of the footers of the building to the water line. Additional information
on the type and depth of the building footers will be needed in order to determine the extent of impacts, on the
RWSA water line (see General Comments, above).
Sheet 5:
1. Please show and label the location of the 12" RWSA water main on this plan sheet.
2. Please move the proposed trees so there is a minimum of 10' of separation from the centerline of the 12" RWSA
water line.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
