From: Tori Kanellopoulos — Senior Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: April 3, 2020
Subject: SDP202000016- Greenbriar Office - Initial Site Plan
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department
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.]
Required Prior to Final Site Plan Approval:
Planning (Tori Kanellopoulos)
1. 18-32.5.2(a) and 18-21.7 No construction activity including grading or clearing
of vegetation shall occur closer than 20 feet to any residential or rural areas
district. As depicted retaining wall #3 crosses into the undisturbed buffer. Per
conversations with the applicant this is not the intent; rather, the retaining wall
nor any grading is proposed to disturb the buffer. Mr. Myers has said he will
correct this on the final site plan. If it turns out not to be correctable, the special
exception shall be applied for and acted on prior to final site plan approval.
2. 18-4.12.16 Parking space minimum design standards:
a. Revise some of the parking space lines and CG lines; when zoomed in,
they appear distorted. For example:
ROR. SWM DETEN
3. 18-4.17 Lighting: If there any new outdoor lights, submit a lighting plan with the
final site plan that meets the requirements of 18-4.17. Cutsheets for new lights
are required.
4. 18-32.5.2 Contents of an initial site plan and 18-32.6.2 Contents of a final site
plan:
a. If there are any existing easements (either on the parcel or in the

story' and 65' maximum for the C-1 district).
c. Include all required contents of a final site plan with the final site plan
submittal.

Jack Jouett.
5. 18-32.7.4.2 and 18-32.7.5.3 Easements:
a. Any new and revised easements must be shown on an easement plat,
which must be approved prior to final site plan approval. Engineering,
ACSA, and VDOT may require easements. Maintenance documentation
must be provided for non-ACSA easements.
6. 18-32.7.2.3 Sidewalks and other pedestrian ways.
a. More clearly show the end of the sidewalk abutting the property line; there
appears to be a line missing.
b. Label the stairs shown on the sidewalk adjacent to the building. Include
label for handrail if provided.

9. Additional applications: The following applications and approvals are required
prior to final site plan approval:
a. 18-32.7.4.2 and 18-32.7.5.3: Easement Plats: All new and adjusted
easements must be shown on an easement plat, which must be approved
prior to final site plan approval, and must match the final site plan.
