ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION—JANUARY 14, 2003 8 DRAFT MINUTES-SUBMITTED FEBRUARY 3, 2003 • • t - (Francis MacCall) DEFERRED FROM THE DECEMBER 17, 2002 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. SDP-02-34 Dennis Enterprises Minor Site Plan Amendment - Request for an approval of a minor site plan amendment to allow for the expansion of an existing parking lot. (Francis MacCall) DEFERRED FROM THE DECEMBER 17, 2002 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. Critical Slopes Waiver for Dennis Enterprises (SDP 02-84) Mr. Barnes presented the staff reports for ZMA-02-08, SP-02-13 and SDP-02-34. He pointed out that SDP-02-084 would not be under consideration tonight. The plan under consideration was a conceptual plan and not a site plan. If the conceptual plan is approved for the rezoning, then the site plan will go through the admonitory review for the site plan itself. He pointed out that staff has recommended that portion #3 that included the corner property that was sold off to Dennis Enterprises be pulled out of the Planned District since it was zoned Highway Commercial and could go with the remainder Dennis Enterprises portion of the site. While portions #1 and #2, which are in consideration tonight, will remain in the Planned District and governed by the actions that are before the Commission tonight. The Commission previously reviewed what is located on page 10. That plan had problems since staff felt that the plan should be more consistent with the Neighborhood Model. Other concerns included the grading impact, terracing the parking and protection of the Entrance Corridor. The Commission made a series of comments that helped to provide direction to staff and the applicant. What is before the Commission tonight is listed on page 12 of the staff report and the colored plan was located on the wall. The advantage of this plan is that the building fronts on Hansen Mountain Road with relegated parking behind the building. This minimized the amount of fill slope because previously the fill was going almost to the rear of the property line. Staff feels that the new plan addresses the previous concerns. One outstanding concern includes traffic. He asked that the applicant address that concern. He noted that would cover his presentation for the rezoning. As far as the special use permit, the ARB reviewed the special use permit for outdoor display. They received the concept plan that was located on page 22 of the staff report. The plan that was provided for the special use permit application, minor site plan amendment and critical slope waiver has been reviewed by the ARB and they recommended a number of conditions. These conditions have either been met on this plan or will be met through the site plan and recommended as conditions for the special use permit. It meets the needs and the concerns raised by the ARB. Finally, there is the critical slope waiver of which staff is recommending approval. Details concerning this are included in the staff report. Mr. Rieley opened the public hearing and asked if the applicant would like to address the Commission. Mr. Katurah Roel stated that they had worked diligently on the plan to incorporate as many aspects of the Neighborhood Model. He pointed out as far as the tree preservation, they had gone out and field located 6 to 8 inch trees with other smaller Dogwoods and a mixture of trees within the wetlands. He noted that the last plan had been modified so that at the edge of the parking lot it had a 10-foot fill. He pointed out that the existing area that is clear is the existing area of the graded lot now with the exception. The existing tree line, safety fences and everything as is stays short of the very left-hand corner where it has to be tied in at Rolkin Road. There is a little cluster of trees there that has to be filled and the access has to be in. Staff wants them to reserve an area for future road right-of-way. He noted that they as well as Dennis Minetos of Dennis Enterprises would proffer not to put any buildings in those locations in the event that the road is ever designed and built. Mr. Rieley asked if that proffer was in place. Mr. Roell stated that the proffer had already been reviewed and submitted. He pointed out that he reduced the size of the building and slightly changed the façade of the building in order to take ALBEMARLE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION—JANUARY 14, 2003 9 DRAFT MINUTES-SUBMITTED FEBRUARY 3, 2003 t ' the double pier of parking lot design.out. He pointed out that there was 1'/2 times the amount of tree canopy provided as requested by the ARB. He stated that he would be happy to answer any questions. Mr. Rieley asked if there was anyone else present to speak concerning this series of applications. There being no further comment, he closed the public hearing to bring the matter back to the Commission for discussion and possible action. Mr. Edgerton stated that he was very pleased with the revision of the conceptual site plan and he concurred with the staffs review. Mr. Rieley asked that they take each application up separately Mr. Finley moved for approval of ZMA-02-08, South Pantops/Dennis Enterprises, subject to the proffers as submitted. Ms. Hopper seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously (6:0). (Loewenstein absent) Mr. Benish asked for clarification on the approval so that the minutes are clear for the Board of Supervisors. He noted that the staff recommendation was pending information regarding the transportation study which staff has not had a chance to review, but staff feels that is not a significant issue. Staff has not received the numbers for verification and wants to make sure that the Commission was comfortable with that. Staff was recommending approval; otherwise they had hoped to have some documentation so that they would feel confident that it is not a significant issue. He pointed out that he wanted it recorded that the Planning Commission understood that in their action. Mr. Rieley stated that the Commission did not have any problem with those caveats that include the proffer and staffs caveat about the traffic. Mr. Rieley asked for a motion on SP-02-13, Dennis Enterprises Expansion-Outdoor Display. Ms. Hopper made a motion for approval of SP-02-13, Dennis Enterprises Expansion'— Outdoor Display,with the staffs recommended conditions as follow: The Planning Commission recommends approval of Special Use Permit (SP 02-13) with the following conditions: 1.

Provide screening trees to the east, south and west of the proposed parking area to reduce the impact of the loss of trees and to soften the appearance of the expanse of proposed pavement. Provide a mixture of screening trees, ornamental trees, and shrubs throughout the slope of the grading easement to the east of the site. A landscape easement will be required for off-site planting. 5. Provide the planting bed with the seven (7) Eastern Red Cedars in the central portion of the parking area as shown on the Minor Site Plan Amendment (SDP 02-34) dated March 8, 2002, revised November 4, 2002. 6. Rather than alternate the screening trees along the eastern property line, cluster the same species in groups and alternate groups of screening trees to create a more informal and naturalistic landscape. 7.
