Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
4. [32.5.2 (s)] Please revise the project narrative on Sheet C-001 so that it explains all proposed revisions in Phase 1. This
includes the revisions to the drive -through lane design, the revisions to the location of the paved asphalt vehicular and
pedestrian travel way down to Moore's Creek, easement vacations/revisions, lighting changes, landscaping changes,
etc. Rev. 1: Please revise the Droiect narrative so that it clearlv states that this minor amendment onlv pertains to chanLyes
to phase 1 of SDP201700012 and all site improvements in phases 2 and 3 will be shown on a future site plan amendment
to be reviewed and approved by the County. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
5. [32.5.2 (a)] Please provide the parcel boundary dimensions, and add a note to Sheet C-001 stating the instrument number
of most recent plat of record. Rev. 1: The instrument referenced in the note is the deed of dedication for certain
easements. The actual plat of record is recorded in DB 5013, pages 259-264. Please revise the instrument number in
the note on Sheet C-001. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
[32.5.2 (a)] Revise the Zoning Overlay note on Sheet 1 so that it states that "portions of the property lie within the
Preserved Steep Slopes Overlay District." Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
7. [32.5.2 (a) and ZMA201200007] The realignment of the 10' paved vehicle and pedestrian travel way down to Moore's
Creek is within an existing 15' public access easement recorded on a plat in DB 5013, pg. 259-264 with a deed of
easement in DB 5013, pg.265-274. The revised alignment of the travel goes outside of that easement. Per the approved
proffer #5C of ZMA201200007, the existing easement will need to be vacated, and a new easement platted with an
associated deed of dedication that dedicates the revised easement to Albemarle County for public use.
a. Please submit an easement plat application for review and approval. Rev. 1: An easement plat,
SUB201900169 was submitted to the County for review and approval and is in review as of October 29,
2019. Once this plat is reviewed, approved, and recorded and the minor amendment is revised to reflect
the recorded plat, this comment will be addressed. Rev. 2: SUB201900169 was denied by Albemarle
County on November 22, 2019 due to a high level of errors and missing information. Per the disapproval
letter sent by staff on November 22, 2019, a new easement plat application and fee must be submitted,
reviewed, approved, and recorded and then this comment will be addressed. Rev. 3: SUB201900189 has
been submitted and is under review. Once SUB201900189 is approved and recorded, and the site
plan is updated so that easement labels specify the new instrument number for the plat and any deeds
of easement, this comment will be addressed.
b. Once approved and recorded, add labels to all applicable sheets showing the new easement boundaries and
reference the instrument of the recorded plat and deed of dedication. Rev. 1: Comment stands. Rev. 2:
Comment stands. Rev. 3: SUB201900189 has been submitted and is under review. Once
SUB201900189 is approved and recorded, and the site plan is updated so that easement labels specify
the new instrument number for the plat and any deeds of easement, this comment will be addressed.
132.5.2 (a)] On Sheet C-001, please add the Steep Slopes note as stated on Sheet 1 of SDP201700012. Rev. 1: Comment
addressed.
132.5.2 (n)] On sheet C-201, please identify all existing and proposed improvements. The location and dimensions of
all existing and proposed improvements including buildings (maximum footprint and height) and other structures;
walkways; fences; walls; trash containers; outdoor lighting; landscaped areas and open space; recreational areas and
facilities; parking lots and other paved areas; loading and service areas; signs; and the proposed paving material types
for all walks, parking lots and driveways. If details or exhibits are provided on other sheets, state the sheet number in
the label. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. The callouts for the proffered travelway and the primitive trail
connection do not reference the exhibits/details provided for these items on Sheet C-302. Please revise sheet C-201 so
that it references those details. Rev. 2: Comment partially addressed. A callout has been added for the proffered
travelway, but it says details 7 and 8 on Sheet C-302 pertain to this feature. Isn't detail #2 on Sheet C-302 the
construction detail for the 10' travelway? If so, please revise the labels on Sheet C-201. Also, no callouts were added
that identify which detail pertains to the primitive trail connection. Please add this information. Rev. 3: Comment
addressed.
10. [32.5.2 (b)] Please add a note to the Site Data table on Sheet C-001 stating the maximum building height permitted, and
the proposed building height in accordance with Section 21.4 of the Zoning Ordinance. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
a. Maximum building height permitted: sixty-five (65) feet. The minimum stepback requirements for any
story that begins above forty (40) feet in height or for each story above the third story, whichever is less, in
height shall be as provided in section 4.20. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
It. 132.6.2 (g)] Please provide a construction detail for the proffered 10' paved vehicle and pedestrian travel way down to
Moore's Creek on Sheet C-301 or C-302. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. The legend for the Pavement Detail
on Sheet C-302 does not include the symbology used for the proffered travel way. Please revise. Also, reference the
sheet and detail number in the callout for this feature on Sheet C-201. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
12. [32.6.2 (g)] Please provide a construction detail for the proffered primitive trail connection from 5" Street to the 10'
paved vehicle and pedestrian travelway on Sheet C-301 or C-302. Rev. 1: Comment partially addressed. Add a label
for this feature to sheet C-201 and reference the sheet number and detail provided for this feature. Rev. 2: Comment
stands. The label added to Sheet C-201 identifies details 7 and 8 on Sheet C-302. However, it appears that detail 2 on
Sheet C-302 is the correct detail. Please verify and revise the callout as necessary. Rev. 3: Comment addressed.
13. [32.5.2 0)] Please show all existing easements and water, sewer, and drainage systems on the Sheet C-101. No
easements are shown. State the easement type (public/private), the width, and recorded instrument number for the plat
and deed of easement (if applicable).
a. Easements that will be vacated prior to this minor amendment approval should state the deed book and page
number of the vacation plat. Rev. 1: SUB201900169 is currently under review. Rev. 2: Comment not fully
addressed. SUB201900169 was denied by Albemarle County on November 22, 2019 due to a high level of
errors and missing information. Per the disapproval letter sent by staff on November 22, 2019, a new
easement plat application and fee must be submitted, reviewed, approved, and recorded and then this
comment will be addressed. Sheet C-101 will need to be revised once the vacation plat has been recorded.
Rev. 3: SUB201900189 has been submitted and is under review. Once SUB201900189 is approved
and recorded, and the site plan is updated so that easement labels specify the new instrument number
for the plat and any deeds of easement, this comment will be addressed.
b. All new easements should be shown on Sheets C-206 and C-207. Rev. 1: Once SUB201900169 is reviewed,
approved, and recorded, please update sheets C-206 and C-207 to state the recorded instrument number for
new and/or realigned easements. Rev. 2: Comment stands. Once the new easement plat is approved and
recorded, Sheets C-206 and C-207 will need to be updated so that the correct deed book and page number
are shown on the drawings. Rev. 3: SUB201900189 has been submitted and is under review. Once
SUB201900189 is approved and recorded, and the site plan is updated so that easement labels specify
the new instrument number for the plat and any deeds of easement, this comment will be addressed.
14. [32.7.8 and 4.17] Several revisions are needed to the Lighting Plan (Sheet C-501). See ARB comments #7-8 for
additional information.
a. [4.17.4 (b) (1)] Provide additional footcandle measurements within the parcel, they are currently spaced
too far apart. Revise the photometric plan to provide light levels all along the property line along 5t1i
Street. Rev. 1: See ARB comment #3 for additional revisions needed to the lighting plan in order to make
site lighting comply with Entrance Corridor footcandle maximums. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
b. Include the standard lighting note on the lighting plan: Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that
emits 3, 000 or more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be arranged or shielded to
reflect light away from adjoining residential districts and away from adjacent roads. The spillover of
lighting from luminaires onto public roads and property in residential or rural areas zoning districts
shall not exceed one-half footcandle. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
c. Pole locations on Sheet C-501 do not match other drawings. Ensure pole locations are correct across all
sheets where visible. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. Pole locations differ from the previously
approved final site plan. Since this property is in the entrance corridor, all site lighting should be shown on
this plan. If this is not possible due to pole locations in phases 2 and 3 not yet being finalized, add a note
stating that no lighting in phase 2 and 3 is proposed with this amendment. All phase 2 and 3 lighting will
be shown on a future site plan amendment for phase 2. See ARB comment #2 for additional details. Rev.
2: Comment addressed.
15. [32.7.9] Sheet C-204 implies that all landscaping required for the overall site development is being provided with the
minor amendment. However, the full extent of the property is not visible, and internal landscaping is going to be
installed as part of the site plan for Phases 2 & 3 since hardscapes in those areas are not being installed/approved with
this minor amendment. This plan should only show landscaping required for Phase 1, unless the intent is to provide all
landscaping. Please clarify what the intent is. Additional comments may be forthcoming about revisions to the Plant
Schedule and landscape plan drawing. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. Per comment #3, it is staff s understanding
that site revisions, including landscaping, in phases 2 and 3 will be submitted for review and approval on a future site
plan amendment application. Please add a note to the landscape plans stating this. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
a. Per the approved Application Plan of ZMA201200007, all Phase 1 landscaping around the retaining wall
must be installed with Phase 1. The landscape plan must be enlarged to show those items. Update the Plant
Schedule on Sheet C-204 as necessary. Rev. 1: Please revise the landscape plan so that it includes the 4
serviceberry trees along the south perimeter of the site that were approved with the previous plan. Please
see ARB comment #6 for additional details. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
b. If internal parking lot trees or other vegetation being used for overall canopy requirements will be provided
with the future site plan amendment for Phases 2 and 3, state this on the plans and remove those future
items from the Plant Schedule quantities and calculation. Rev. 1: The quantities of Allee Elm and Eastern
Red Cedar do not match the drawings. Please revise the table as necessary. See ARB comment #5
for further information. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
16. 132.7.9.5 (b)] Street trees must be provided 35' O.C. along 5th Street. See ARB comments for additional details, and
revise Sheet C-204 as necessary. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed, see ARB comment #4 for additional details.
Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
17. [32.7.7.9 (c)] Please add a note to the landscape plan that states "All landscaping and screening shall be maintained in
a healthy condition by the current owner or property owners' association and replaced when necessary. Replacement
material shall comply with the approved landscape plan." Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
