Subject: SDP202000002 - Keswick Hall Spa — Minor Amendment
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department Community
Development will approve 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.]
Planning (Tori Kanellopoulos)
1. [18-30.7] Steep slopes. On Sheer C2.0, the slopes are listed as `managed', but
according to GIS are `critical'.
a. List as critical and include reference on SDP to critical slopes waiver that was
approved by the Board of Supervisors.
2. [18-32.5.2 and 18-32.6.2] Ownership information: Some demolition and improvements
appear to be shown on the adjacent parcel (TMP 80-90), such as removing and
replacing the gate. Other parcel/ownership information should be included.
3. [18-32.7.2.3] Safe pedestrian movement: The crosswalk, as shown on SDP2018-79, has
been removed across Club Drive. The crosswalk should be provided for safe pedestrian
access across the area.

5. [18-4.16.12] Parking dimensions: Clarify the area of paver parking that is unstriped. Is
this a loading space? Or for future potential parking?
6. [18-32.7.4.2 and 18-32.7.5.3] Easement Plats: An easement plat is required for the
proposed SWM facilities management easement. An easement plat was previously
approved for this easement, however the dimensions and design have changed.
a. The proposed easement should also be shown on Sheet C4.0. It should be
shown as dashed and labeled lines, not as a hatched area, as this would be
difficult to read.
7. [18-4.11] Structures and easements: Show proposed utilities on the landscaping plan. It
is not possible to tell if there are any conflicts with landscaping and utilities.
8. [18-32.5.2 and 18-32.6.2] Utilities: Clarify the reference on Sheet C4.0 to "see standard
ACSA sewer service lateral connection detail", as this site is not in the ACSA
jurisdictional area.
9. [18-4.17] Outdoor lighting: No changes to the lighting plan were shown or included as
part of this minor amendment submittal. However, looking at the approved lighting plan
per SDP2018-79, it appears that the new site design with this minor amendment would
necessitate changes to the lighting plan. For example, the parking areas have changed,
and the fountain/walking area in the garden is no longer provided. Provide an updated
lighting plan and cloud all changes.
10. [18-32.7.9] Landscaping plan comments:
a. Sheet L3.3 from SDP2018-79: Include an updated landscape mitigation plan.
Given that the design and orientation of the building and parking has changed, it
appears there would be some changes to this sheet as well.
b. [18-32.7.9.7] Screening: The reference to `vegetated screen' in SDP2018-79 was
removed with this submittal. Screening vegetation should be provided, to screen
the parking lot from adjacent residential uses and RA districts.
c. [18-32.7.9.4] Landscaping plan requirements: Revise counts and labeling for the
following: Fagus Grandiflora, Thuja Occidentalis, and Juniperis Virginiana.
