Rev. 1: December 27, 2019
Subject: SDP 201900018 6181 Rockfish Gab Turnpike New Office Expansion — Major Site Plan Amendment
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plan referenced above once the
following comments 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, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless
otherwise specified.]
1. Pay the required notices fee of $215.
Rev. 1: Comment not vet addressed. Address the comment.
13. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9] Address the following in reference to the landscape plan:
j) Under "Landscape Ordinance Requirements", next to "Parking Screening", it states "None, Parking is
Behind Building". This is incorrect since parking must be screened also from the RA parcels. Revise
this and ensure the required screening is provided. See comments above on screening.
Rev. 1: Comment not yet fully addressed. Add additional parking screening along the southern
edge of the parking lot, to screen it from the Rural Area zoned parcel. Although screening is
proposed closer to the property line, that screen is a significant distance from the parking lot
and therefore the 18" (at time of planting) shrubs along the properties edge will not have any
screening affect on the parking lot for many years.
k) Revise the landscape schedule to show the canopy provided for each tree species, both individually
and when multiplied by the quantity. Also, include at the bottom of the chart the total canopy provided
for all proposed plantings. Please note, most shrubs do not provide canopy coverage. See the
attached canopy reference document for more information, and ensure you utilize the canopy specified
based on the caliper at time of planting. Since larger caliper trees are being provided to meet ARB
requirements they provide more canopy coverage than the smaller caliper trees.
Rev. 1: Comment not vet fully addressed. The landscape schedule was revised with all
information requested. However, the "canopy" specified for the individual trees should be at 10
years of growth. The canopies specified appear to be much smaller what is to be expected after
10 years. Please revise the canopy numbers, calculations and total.
1) Revise the canopy calculation for "provided" to include the proposed trees.
Rev. 1: Comment not vet fully addressed. Revise the calculation again, after the canopy values
are updated in the chart as specified above.
m) Rev. 1: [New Commentl Ensure that all previously approved landscaping along the road frontage is
provided. Address the following:
i. Label all three of the previously approved existing White Pines. It appears that they may exist, but
their location is not specified.
ii. Label all of the previously approved existing (or replaced) azaleas at the side and the front of the
building.
n) Rev. 1: [New Commentl Provide dumpster screening on the south side of the dumpster.

15. [Comment] See the attached comments from the other SRC reviewers.
Rev. 1: Comment not vet fully addressed. See the attached comments from the other SRC reviewers.
16. Rev. 1: [New Commentl Revise the coversheet so that ", VA" is after "Albemarle County".
17. Rev. 1: [New Commentl Revise the scale bar on sheet C4.0. It does not match the scale of the drawing on
that sheet.
Staff has provided references to provisions of Chapter 18 of the Code of the County of Albemarle. The Code is
kept up to date by the County Attorney's office. The Code may found on the County Attorney's website which
may be found under "Departments" at Albemarle.org.
In accord with the provisions of Section 32.4.3.5 of Chapter 18 of the Code if the developer fails to submit a
revised final site plan to address all of the requirements within six (6) months after the date of this letter the
application shall be deemed to have been voluntarily withdrawn by the developer.

RE: 6181 Rockfish Gap Turnpike Office
Minor Amendment — Parking Relocation
SDP2019-18
Ms. Saternye:
This office facility is connected to public water. Although the proposed new parking lot will be over a
portion of the existing drainfield, the system was recently assessed by a professional wastewater engineer
who determined that the system's functionality would not be compromised. Furthermore, the grading plan
has been designed to divert surface water away from the drainfield area.
Therefore, I have no concerns and recommend approval of the plan If there are any questions or concerns,
please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
Sincerely,
Alan Mazurowski
Environmental Health Supervisor
Thomas Jefferson Health District
