Memorandum
To: Scott Collins
From: Christopher Perez
Division: Community Development — Planning
Date: December 12, 2019
Subject: SDP201900058 2415 Ivy Road Commercial Redevelopment Plan — Initial Site Plan
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 Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
1. [4.12.15(g)] Curb and gutter- in parking areas and along travelways. Provide curb and gutter throughout the parking areas
and along the travelways.
2. [4.12.15(a)] Surface Material. Pave all parking and access aisles.
3. [32.7.2.31 Sidewalk. Provide sidewalks from the rear parking areas to the building.
4. [32.7.2.31 Sidewalk. Replace the proposed 5' wide asphalt path at the front of the property with a standard 5' wide concrete
sidewalk that meets VDOT standards.
5. [4.12] Parking. The proposed and existing office space onsite was found to be 32,620 SF, which requires 131 parking
spaces. Sheet 1 of the plan incorrectly lists 31,805 SF of office space and only provides 128 spaces for this use. Ensure the
SF listed on sheet 1 matches the SF proposed and existing throughout the rest of the plan. Revise parking calculation
appropriately.
6. [4.12] Parking. In the parking calculation discontinue the use of "manufacturing and warehouse", as there is no
warehousing; rather, merely list it as manufacturing/processing/assembly & fabrication.
7. [4.12] Parking. There is a typographical error associated with the parking calculation for manufacturing, which lists 5,000
SF open to the public; however, the proposal is for 3,280 SF of manufacturing/processing/assembly & fabrication. Is the
square footage open to the public truly 500 SF? Ensure the correct square footage which is open to the public is listed.
Additionally, at a minimum 2 customer parking spaces are required when using this calculation.
8. [4.12] Parking. Revise the line lengths for the 3 proposed parking spaces at the end of the 25-space parking area at the rear
of the site.
9. [4.12.13, 4.12.181 Load areas. Clearly dimension the loading space. Loading spaces shall be designed so as not to impede
any required parking spaces, or any pedestrian or vehicular circulation. Loading spaces shall be a minimum of 12 feet in
width, 14'/2 feet in clearance height and a length sufficient to accommodate the largest delivery trucks serving the
establishment, but in no case will such length be less than 25 feet.
10. 14.12.18] Dumpster pad. Dimension the dumpster pad.
11. [32.5.1(c)] Boundary lines. Depict the new property line associated with the boundary line adjustment.
12. [32.5.2(a)] The adjacent parcel, TMP 60-25, is zoned Highway Commercial (HC). Revise.
13. [32.7.9.61 Landscaping within parking area. Provide parking lot landscaping and calculations. An area of at least five
percent of the paved parking and vehicular circulation area shall be landscaped with trees or shrubs. Neither the areas of
street trees and shrubs required by sections 32.7.9.5(d) and (e) nor shrubs planted between a parking area and a building
on the site shall be counted toward the minimum area landscaped area for a parking area.
14. [32.5.2(1)] Existing and Proposed Utilities. Currently the plan depicts trees and shrubs on and around the gas lines. Relocate
all proposed plantings out of the gas easement. When no easement exists, ensure the plantings are setback from the gas lines
as specified by Charlottesville Gas. If no gas line easements exist, prior to final site plan approval please provide written
verification from Charlottesville Gas that the plantings are appropriately setback from their gas lines.
15. [32.5.2(p), 32.7.2.11 The proposed entrances shall be designed and constructed as required by the standards of the Virginia
Department of Transportation. VDOT approval of the proposed entrances to the site shall be required prior to final site plan
approval.
16. [32.5.2(n)] 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 must comply with requirements of Sec. 32.7.8 & Sec 4.17 of the
Zoning Ordinance. In addition to meeting all lighting requirements a standard lighting note will be required.
17. [32.5.2(n)] If there is to be a sign for the proposed use, on the final site plan depict and label the sign location. (Depicting
the sign on the final site plan is not approval of the sign location or type).
18. [Comment] Pursuant to conversations with ARB staff the ARB meeting for this project has been postponed at the request of
the applicant. Comments will not be provided by the ARB till the meeting is held. Because of this please defer the project to
allow the ARB review to be incorporated into the action letter.

Site Plan Review
Project title: E 2415 Ivy Road Commercial Redevelopment
Project file number: SDP2019-00058
Plan preparer: Scott Collins; Collins Engineering [200 Garrett St., Suite K, Charlottesville, VA

Owner or rep.: Currell Corporation 35 Old Farm Road, Charlottesville, VA 22903
Plan received date: 5 Nov 2019
Date of comments: 9 Dec 2019; Rev 12/12/19
Plan Coordinator: Christopher Perez
Reviewer: John Anderson
SDP2019-00058
For Initial Site Plan Approval
1. Report Limits of Disturbance, acreage. Note, sheet 1 (20% reduction), appears to indicate LOD may
exceed 1 Ac.
2. Provide Site Summary Site tab information, VaRRM re -development .xls, that shows pre- and post -
redevelopment land cover (best estimate) and TP load reduction required for redevelopment. Engineering
understands values may change with VSMP /WPO Plan submittal, but at conceptual level, given age and
uncertainty of storm network to which this development will discharge, this information is needed for initial
site plan approval.
3. Sheet 2: Provide existing contour labels. Very few, perhaps just one, label makes it difficult to review this
site plan. If vertical variation is flat, please use 1-ft. interval for existing and proposed contours. Additional
contour detail required.
Sheet 4:
4. Show conceptual UG detention using dark line type (if overlooked, please notify reviewer).
5. Show proposed grading and storm utilities using dark line -type.
6. Tie proposed grading to existing terrain contours.
7. Outline proposed LOD using readily readable dark line -type.
8. Provide proposed grade for 22-space parking (recommend flow lines); may change with FSP, yet relevant to
ISP approval.
9. Engineering recommends Notes clarify limits of disturbance, new impervious area, net new impervious,
existing /proposed storm conveyance, existing /proposed new building (building space appears unchanged).
For Final Site Plan Approval
1. Ensure commercial entrance on Ivy Road/US Rt. 250 meets VDOT commercial entrance standard.
2. As ISP sheet 1 Note states, VSMP /WPO plan approval is required prior to final site plan approval.
3. SWM Facility /Facility Access Easement plat with deed must be recorded prior to VSMP /WPO Plan
approval; this may occur with boundary line adjustment plat, or independent of BLA plat.
4. Sheet 4: It is uncertain whether DI -pipe shown traversing proposed 22-space parking lot in front of the site
may discharge directly to Ex. storm system. With FSP, submit thorough analysis of Ex. storm system along
Ivy Road for each discharge point, to limits of analysis.
5. Label parking space typ. length. Ref. ACDSM p. 17 for graphic guidance on design options.
6. Label east and west -most parking space length, N side of parking lot.
Engineering Review Continents
Page 2 of 3
7. Avoid placing detention access (MH lid) in any parking space/s.
8. Provide public drainage easement downstream of any proposed SWM facility, to the property line.
9. Provide proposed water quality swale easement.
10, Provide SWM Facility access, between Ivy Road RW and SWM facility easements.
11. Ensure radii at commercial entrance meet VDOT CG-11 Min. R. (Also, FSP, item L, above)
12. Relocate /evaluate Ex. DI, W side of commercial entrance.
13. Provide drainage plan, including LD-204, LD-229.
14. (Rev. 12/12): Engineering supports any Planning Div. request for sidewalk leading west then north from
entrances facing Ivy Road (facing south) to parking west and north of existing structure; it is a basic
required design feature, from Engineering perspective (blue arrow, below, probable location).

16. (Rev 12/12) Engineering response to 10/21/19, Collins En ing eering Waiver request Request for waiver of
parking lot curb and gutter, and parking lot surface requirements for 2415 Ivy Road Commercial
Redevelopment by letter dated October 21, 2019, is denied. Request does not provide one (or more)
compelling reason for Albemarle to waive requirements listed at 18-4.12.15(a),(g). Whether patrons are
customers or employees has no effect on decision concerning whether a surface is paved, or not. Ordinance
sets a paved surface threshold of 4 or more parking spaces since stone is problematic. Gravel is a loose
uneven medium that poses risk to pedestrians. Design should provide a smooth walking and riding surface,
with sidewalks (see item 14.1 above). A paved surface with positive drainage provides a reliable surface for
pedestrians, whereas stone poses challenge (if not risk) to the elderly or very young who may have balance
issues, and to strollers, the disabled, and deliveries. Gravel is not equivalent to a paved surface for this
commercial re -development with regard to strength, durability, sustainability and long-term maintenance.
Design must meet requirements listed at 18-4.12.15(a). Similarly, this redeveloped commercial site requires
design that directs storm runoff to detention or treatment facilities prior to release to existing conveyance,
which may be inadequate (analysis to determine). A water quality swale may be designed using a curb cut,
without abandoning curb/gutter, which serves a purpose. Rather than waiving curb /gutter requirements, it
is essential to control and direct runoff from paved surfaces to existing /proposed stormwater management
facilities. Please design to standards listed at 18-4.12.15(g). To approve a waiver request providing relief
from requirements that prevent erosion, excessive or uncontrolled runoff, and may minimize risk to patrons
using parking areas, contradicts the purpose and intent of ordinance.
Note: Engineering is amenable to curb -only design, but does not waive requirement for curb (CG-2). No
requirement of drainage, or VSMP /WPO plans is waived. If design proposes limited drop inlets, opting
instead for curb cut leading to water quality swale west of existing structure, Engineering will evaluate this
design against VDOT drainage manual, Drainage Plan checklist for plan reviewers, and ACDSM.
CG-6 (curb /gutter) appears more nearly a necessity for new parking in front of the grocery /restaurant,
though here, as well, curb cut leading to a SWM treatment or detention is an option.
Please feel free to call if any questions. Thank you

6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
H.
Please replace old curb cuts with continuous curb or acceptable edge of pavement.
Entrance geometry (including curb radii) must meet standards found in the Road Design
Manual, Appendix F.
Interconnectivity should be considered with the gas station to help alleviate the existing
congestion and points of conflict.
Please provide sight distance lines and profile for entrance onto Ivy Road (SR 250.
Entrance location does not meet required spacing from a signalized intersection and other
entrances as detailed in Appendix F of the VDOT Road Design Manual.
Is the proposed entrance intended to be a partial access? If so, it must be physically
restricted.
Please show mill and overlay on plans in accordance with WP-2. Show limits of mill and
overlay to adjacent travel lane. Also, please add the WP-2 detail to the plans.
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.
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 provide sufficient information on the plans to evaluate the grading and drainage
aspects of the entrances and public roadway.
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

Chris,
I recommend SDP201900058 - 2415 Ivy Road Commercial Redevelopment Plan — Initial for approval with the following
conditions:
RWSA will need to approve the proposed sewer connection.
The water meter called out to be replaced is listed as serving 2405 Ivy Road in our records.
The water line called out as existing fire line is most likely the 1.5 inch meter serving 2415 Ivy Road.
Provide fixture counts to determine water meter size.
If water meter upgrades are needed, the appropriate connection fee will be charged.

Chris,
RWSA has reviewed the Initial Site Plan for 2415 Ivy Road Commercial Redevelopment Plans dated 12/21/19 by Collins
engineering and has the following comments.
General Comments:
1. RWSA is seeking easements for a future raw water main along the western boundary line of this parcel. A plat
showing the proposed easements (attached) was previously provided to the property owner for consideration.
The proposed water line route would have no apparent impact on the proposed site plan. We request that the
easements be reviewed in conjunction with the site review process, and if acceptable to property owner, that
these easements be shown on the final site plan.
2. RWSA would like more information on the proposed use of the manufacturing space and estimated sewer flows
to determine if a sewer flow capacity request will be required for final site plan approval.
3. Please include the RWSA General Water and Sewer Notes (attached) on the final site plan.
Sheet 3:
1. Label RWSA 12" VCP Sanitary Sewer Line with ownership, material, and diameter. Label RWSA Sanitary Sewer
Easement with ownership.
2. Include a profile in the final site plan showing the proposed 6" tie-in to the RWSA sanitary sewer manhole.
3. Include the following sewer connection notes on the final site plan:
o All connections to RWSA manholes shall be watertight and made with a flexible rubber boot.
o All coring methods, the coring contractor and all materials for construction shall be approved by RWSA
in writing prior to construction.
o RWSA Engineering Staff shall be present for all cores into the manholes. Contact RWSA Engineering a
minimum of 3 business days in advance to schedule a core of a manhole.
o Bypass pumping may be required at the sole discretion of RWSA staff.
o Grouting of the manhole bench or interior may be required, at the sole discretion of RWSA staff, for a
smooth transition of flow.
Sheet 4
o Existing manholes shall be backfilled to original grade to the satisfaction of RWSA.
Label RWSA 12" VCP Sanitary Sewer Line with ownership, material, and diameter. Label RWSA Sanitary Sewer
Easement with ownership.
There is significant grading over the RWSA 12" clay sewer main for the future travelway connection to adjacent
parcels. Care should be taken to ensure the RWSA sewer line is protected during grading activities and that
minimum cover requirements are met. Depending on the depth of the sewer main at this crossing, additional
permanent protective measures may be needed, such as replacement with ductile iron pipe or concrete
encasement.
Sheet 6:
There is an existing storm drain that crosses over the RWSA sanitary sewer main in the vicinity of the proposed
sanitary sewer lateral and travelway connection which may be in conflict with the utility connection, grading,
and planting. This storm drain should be shown on all sheets. Ownership of the storm sewer is currently
unknown.
Label RWSA 12" VCP Sanitary Sewer Line with ownership, material, and diameter. Label RWSA Sanitary Sewer
Easement with ownership.
No trees are allowed in the existing RWSA sewer easement.
Let me know if you have any questions.
