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 Pantops Corner Self -Storage Final Site Plan (SDP2019-00063):
1. [General Comment] This parcel is potentially within the Monticello Viewshed. It is recommended that you contact Liz
Russell at Monticello to discuss this project if you have not already done so.
2. [General Comment] Provide the site plan application number for this project, SDP2019-00063.
3. [General Comment] Delete sheet C 12 from the sheet index if not proposed to be included.
4. [General Comment] Revise the boundary layout and existing conditions sheets to include the recently approved
SUB2019-00059 and SUB2019-00129, including new property lines and all easements.
5. [General Comment] Reference SDP2018-00089 on the revised conditions sheet, as the road, including the sidewalk,
and the street trees are being provided with this site plan.
6. [4.20] The last part of the note about stepbacks on the cover sheet appears to have been cut off. Provide the entirety of
the note.
7. [32.5.2(a)] Include on the cover sheet that portions of this property are located within a state dam break inundation zone.
8. [32.5.2(a)] Include on the cover sheet that this property is located within the ACSA jurisdictional area.
9. [4.15] Remove the proposed monument signs from all sheets on which they are shown. Signs are approved through a
separate application and process.
10. [35.5.2(n)] Provide a stop sign at the exit of the parking lot onto Pantops Corner Way.
11. [30.7] The retaining walls at the rear of the property must be stepped in accordance with the Steep Slopes — Managed
overlay district, where no retaining wall can be over 6 feet in height.
12. [32.5.2(n); SUB2019-000591 The retaining wall at the southwestern corner of the building should not be in the 7' parking
easement. Otherwise, provide documentation permitting such improvements in this easement.
13. [General Comment] Provide construction easements for the western side of the property where the retaining walls are
proposed to go, or demonstrate that construction and grading can occur on the subject property.
14. [32.5.2(a)] The site plan indicates that there is an I V landscaping strip on the southern side of the property. However,
there is another note indicating a 10' setback with the property line. Clarify this apparent discrepancy.
15. [32.5.2(a)] The northeastern corner of the building, closest to the entrance, appears to barely cross the minimum front
setback line. Revise.
16. [32.5.2(i)] The retaining wall at the northern end of the property needs to be removed from the Pantops Corner Way
access easement. Otherwise, provide documentation demonstrating that this retaining wall is permitted within the
easement boundaries.
17. [32.7.91 Identify the dashed line depicted between the north end of the parking lot and the curved retaining wall.

SDP2018-00089. If so, reference what is being provided by that site plan.
20. [32.7.91 The site area under required landscaping (tree canopy required) does not match what is stated on the cover sheet.
Clarify this discrepancy.
21. [32.7.91 Remove the northern bayberry and mountain pieris from the canopy total. Any vegetation 5 feet or less in height
at 10-year maturity cannot be counted toward total canopy square footage.
Comments from SDP2019-00008 — Pantops Corner Self -Storage Initial Site Plan Action Letter:
The original comments from the review and action letter for SDP2019-00008 are in gray font. Follow-up comments from the
review of the final site plan, SDP2019-00063, are in bolded black font. Please address these follow-up comments as well.
[32.4.2.1 (f)] The mailing notification fee of $215.00 has not been paid. The fee must be paid prior to Friday, April 19', in
order for the initial site plan to be approved. Comment addressed.
2. [ARB] Please see the attached ARB comment letter for items that must be addressed prior to initial site plan approval.
Although the initial site plan will be approved, all comments from the ARB must be addressed prior to approval of the final
2
ARB approval required before approval of the final site plan can be granted.
3. [Fire & Rescue] Please see attached comments from Shawn Maddox. Please revise the plans so that Fire & Rescue comments
are satisfactorily addressed. A fire access lane of 26' in width is required at the front of the structure, and Pantops Corner
Way cannot be used for this access. Please see the attached comments and email from Shawn Maddox of ACFR regarding
this item. Approval from Albemarle County Fire -Rescue (ACFR) required before approval of the final site plan can
be granted.
4. [32.5.1 (c)] Please show all existing utility easements on the drawings. Include a label or call out for each easement stating
whether the easement is public or private, the owner of record and the recorded instrument number, and easement width where
existing easements are visible on the plans. Provide the deed book and page numbers of the utility easements from the
recently recorded easement plat, SUB2019-00059.
132.5.2 (a) and 4.20 (a)] Please amend the building setback notes on Sheet 1 as follows:
a. Minimum front setback = 10 feet from the right-of-way or the exterior edge of the sidewalk if the sidewalk is outside
of the right-of-way.
b. Maximum front setback = 30 feet from the right-of-way or the exterior edge of the sidewalk if the sidewalk is outside
of the right-of-way. Comment addressed.
6. 132.5.2 (a) and 4.20 (a)] Please state the required off-street parking and loading setbacks on Sheet 1.
a. Minimum off-street parking/loading front setback = 10 feet from any public street right-of-way. Comment
addressed.
7. 132.5.2 (a)] Please show and label all minimum and maximum setback lines of the final site plan site layout drawings. The
setbacks should be shown in accordance with Section 4.20 of the Zoning Ordinance. Comment addressed.
[32.5.2 (a)] Boundary line adjustment plats were recently approved 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 numbers of the recorded instruments
on the plans and the site data table on Sheet 1. Include all revised acreage on Sheet 1. In addition, it appears that another
boundary line adjustment plat will need to be approved and recorded prior to the approval of this plan for the shared property
line with the adjacent Wawa parcel. Revise this site plan with the new parcel boundaries and legal references from the
approved BLA plat, SUB2019-000129, including on the site layout sheets and in the source of title note on the cover
sheet.
9. [General Comment] Because this project involves improvements that are located on other parcels, these other parcel numbers
and the site information data for these parcels should also be included. (Parcels 78-58G1 and 78-5A). Revise with the
appropriate information from the new parcel boundaries of 78-58G1 and 78-5A.
10. [General Comment] A public access easement will be required to be recorded for Pantops Corner Way prior to the approval
of this site plan. Please be aware that the required access easement crosses into TMP 78-58C, as shown on this plan, so that
property owner will also need to be included in the easement recordation. Comment addressed.
11. [General Comment] The road plans and the final site plan for Pantops Corner/Pantops Corner Way must be approved before
the final site plan for this site can be approved. In addition, the final site plan for the Wawa on TMP 78-58A may have to be
approved prior to this final site plan, depending on the chronology of BLA, easement, and site plan approvals. The final site
plan for SDP2018-00089, Pantops Corner, will have to be approved prior to approval of this site plan. Road plans have
already been approved.
12. [General Comment] The Existing Conditions sheets may have to change depending on what the approved final site plans
for Pantops Corner Way and Pantops Corner (hotel site) show. Revise this sheet to depict the new existing conditions based
on approval of SUB2019-00059 and SUB2019-00129.
13. [General Comment] The Existing Conditions sheet, sheet 4, shows trees and sidewalk being demolished on parcel 5E to
construct the entrance for the proposed self -storage use. Because these improvements are required by the site plan for Pantops
Corner (SDP2018-00089), an LOR will be required for SDP2018-00089 to remove these items from that site plan once the
self -storage project moves forward. Comment no longer applies.
14. 132.5.2 (a)] Please add the full Action Letter, Proffer Statement, and associated exhibits approved with ZMA2013-02 to the
final site plan drawings.

under "Zoning" on Sheet 1. Please state that portions of TMP 78-5E lie within the Managed Steep Slopes Overlay District
under "Zoning" on Sheet 1. Comment still applies, though it appears no portions of 78-58G1 lie within the Managed
Steep Slopes overlay district.
17. [32.5.2 (a)] Revise sheet 2 to show the temporary construction easement that is shown on the approved BLA plat for
SUB2019-00002, between revised parcels 5E and 5C, leading toward 5F. Comment still applies.
18. [32.5.2 (a)] Revise the Source of Title section with the most recent recorded plat and deed information. Comment still
applies, as easement and boundary line adjustment plats have recently been approved for this property.
19. [32.5.2 (b)] Revise the proposed use of this site on the cover sheet to "Light Warehousing," as that is how this use is defined
in the Zoning Ordinance. Revise the proposed use of this site on the cover sheet to "Self-service storage facility." The
"Definitions" section of the zoning ordinance (Section 3) has been amended by the Board since the initial site plan was
reviewed.
20. 132.5.2 (b)] Please state the gross square footage of each proposed structure, and proposed acreage of each use on the final
site plan, as this site plan is incorporating TMP 78-58G1 and TMP 78-5A, in addition to 78-58E. Comment addressed.
21. 132.5.2 (b)] Sheet 5 of the plan states that there are "16 spaces" in the building. Clarify what these 16 spaces are. Are they
indoor parking spaces, storage spaces, or some other type of space? Comment addressed.
22. [4.12.7] Light warehousing is an unscheduled use in the parking section of the zoning ordinance. As such, the Zoning
Administrator shall determine the required number of parking spaces for this use. Please submit a request to the Zoning
Administrator for a determination on the number of parking spaces required by this light warehousing use. Comment not
addressed. Please submit a request to the Zoning Administrator for a determination on the number of parking spaces
required by this use.
23. [32.5.2 (h)] Please show the boundaries of the FH Flood Hazard Overlay District and the state dam break inundation zone on
4
TMP 78-58G1 where visible on the plans. Provide a label and include this feature in the legend. Comment not addressed.
24. [32.5.2 (b)] No loading spaces are shown on the site plan. Loading spaces shall be provided in accordance with Section 18-
4.12.13. These loading spaces must meet the design standards specified in Section 18-4.12.18 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Comment not addressed.
25. [32.5.2 (b)] No dumpsters are shown on the plan. In accordance with Section 18-4.12.13(e), dumpster pads must be provided

existing, and what portions of the sidewalk are to be constructed with this site plan. Reference SDP2018-00089
30. [32.5.2 (m)] Show the distance to the nearest existing street intersection from the proposed ingress and egress. Comment not
addressed.
31. [32.5.2 (n)] Provide the maximum footprint of the proposed building. Comment addressed.
32. [32.5.2 (n)] The site plan states that the square footage for each of the four floors above ground -level are the same size.
However, at least the fourth floor, and maybe the third depending on building height, will have to be stepped back to meet
the stepback requirement. Thus, this floor will be a smaller area than the lower floors are. Revise the square footage of the
building, on both sheets 1 and 5, to take the reduced size of this stepped back floor into account. Provide the proposed height
of the structure at the front facade, because it will need a stepback if it is 40 feet or more in height.
33. [32.5.2(a)] Show on the site plan where the proposed stepback for this structure will occur. A stepback will be required along
the entire frontage of this building, as determined by Zoning, once the height of the building reaches the height requirements
for stepbacks as described in section 4.20 of Chapter 18 of the Zoning Ordinance. Comment addressed if proposed building
height less than 40 feet.

sidewalks on opposite sides of vehicular travel ways and streets.
a. Please label the dimensions and surface materials in compliance with the County's design standards.
b. There are several crosswalks across Pantops Corner Way where ramps are needed.
c. In addition, provide ramps and a crosswalk at the entrance to this site, from Pantops Corner Way.
d. The sidewalk along Pantops Corner Way near the entrance to this site also needs to be shown extending fully to the
entrance to this site. It appears that the sidewalk was removed as apart of the demolition process for this project, but
was not fully replaced with the proposed improvements shown on sheet 5.
e. There also need to be ramps on the sidewalks directly adjacent to the building, leading from the parking lot to the
office location. Comments addressed.
35. [32.5.2 (k)] Please label all existing and proposed sewer and drainage easements by type and include a size/width
measurement. For existing easements, state the deed book and page of the recorded instrument. Provide legal
references from recently recorded plats.

included in the Pantops Corner final site plan and road plans. However, please be sure that everything shown on this plan
exactly matches what is shown in the approved road and final site plans for Pantops Corner. Comment still applies until
SDP2018-00089 is granted final approval, ensuring these elements are included.
42. [32.7.9] A full landscape plan will need to be included in the submission of the final site plan. In addition to interior
landscaping, the street landscaping for this site will need to match the landscaping that is shown on the final site plan for
Pantops Corner (hotel site) and associated road plans. Landscaping will also need to be approved by the ARB.

SDP201900063 — Engineering Initial Site Plan review comments, below. New FSP review comments begin
with item 34.
ISP201900008, items L-33.: If grayscale, ISP comment addressed, NA, or withdrawn with FSP submittal.
If normal text, ISP comment persists as a Final Site Plan (FSP) comment.
Sheet 1 (Title Sheet)
1. Include ref. to WP0201800088 plan title (VSMP Major Amendment Plan for Pantops Corner), and
narrative explaining this ISP's reliance on this plan for meeting state stormwater quality and quantity
regulations. (FSP) Persists.
2. Include ref. to SUB201900024 plan title (Road Plan for Pantops Corner) and narrative explaining this
ISP's reliance on this plan for design details for a private road offering public access between U.S. Rt. 250
(Richmond Road) and SR 20 (Stoney Point Road), required by ZMA 2013-00002 Interconnectivity proffer
(# 1). (FSP) Persists.
3. Label "Road A" on this plan set (ref. Interconnectivity proffer). (FSP) Withdrawn.
4. Final site plan approval requires SUB201900024 approval, and that this p.i-,,at, read be built of beaded
between U.S. 250 and SR20 (FSP) Road Plan approved 9/6/19. Note: Road Plan does not require bond.
5. Final site plan approval requires WP0201800088 approval. (FSP) WPO Plan approved 7/23/19.
6. In addition, all three plans, SDP201900008, SUB241900024, WP0201800088 must be consistent with one
another. If design values change, for example, drainage on the road plan or impervious area (land use
schedule) on the site plan, plans should be updated since storm runoff from three separately developed sites
(Wawa, hotel, self -storage) are to be covered under WP0201800088, and since SDP201800089 (Pantops
Corner hotel), SDP201900008 (self -storage), and SDP201900013 (Wawa at Pantops) rely on /require road
plan design be approved with SUB201900024 (Road Plan for Pantops Corner). (FSP) Persists. Comment
remains as reminder to ensure consistency across plans. No revision required; urge care when revising. It
is our understanding an overall plan (.DWG) helps ensure consistency, that change to design updates
related /affected plans.
7. Revise Flood Zone notation to ref. FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map, eff. date of 5/16/1 (FSP)
Withdrawn.

ADMIONAL Final Site Plan comments:
34. C2 — There appears slight line break in NE corner of TMP 78-5F. Please revise as needed.
35. C6 — Remove 7' parking easement linework.
36. C5 — Label sidewalk width fronting Pantops Corner Way.
37. Include VDOT Mill -pave detail showing mill /pave work to center of Pantops Corner Way. Alternatively,
amend SUB201900024 by letter and full-size print plan sheet/s showing commercial entrance for Pantops
Corner Self -Storage built with the Road Plan (with Pantops Corner Way). This would require Road Plan
(Amendment) Application, fee, and Planning /VDOT /Engineering review. Albemarle has no preference,
but given stage of road construction, in appears a reasonable alternative to construct curb /gutter and self -
storage entrance with SUB201900024, rather than build curb/gutter, place surface asphalt, then demolish
these sections, including asphalt to road centerline, in order to effect continuous asphalt (at self -storage)
entrance. Road pavement will perform better if Pantops Corner Self -Storage entrance is constructed with
Pantops Corner Way. Albemarle will insist on mill -pave to centerline of Pantops Corner Way, consistent
with VDOT std. /specifications, if entrance requires demolition of asphalt surface pavement at curb line.
Please feel free to call if any questions. Thank you
