Home My WebLink AboutSDP201900081 Review Comments Minor Amendment 2020-04-06r� 'AL � IRGS?at� County of Albemarle Department of Community Development Memorandum To: Eric Woolley, Woolley Engineering; (ewoollev@woolley-eng.com) From: Andrew Reitelbach, Senior Planner Division: Planning Date: April 6, 2020 Subject: SDP2019-00081 Tandem Friends School Pavilion — Minor Amendment The Planner for the Planning Division of the Albemarle County Department of 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.] 1. [13.2.2.5] The proposed use requires an amendment to the existing special use permit (SP2015-00021) for this project. The site plan minor amendment cannot be approved without an amended special use permit that has been approved by the County's Board of Supervisors. It is acknowledged that there is an application (SP2019-00007) currently in progress to amend the special use permit, with an anticipated date for a public hearing before the Board on April 15, 2020. 2. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the county and state names of the location of this project in the title of the project on the cover sheet. 3. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the application number of this project (SDP2019-00081) in the title on the cover sheet of the site plan. Also, revise the final site plan number that this plan is amending. This plan is amending SDP1998-00081. (SDP2016-00073 is no longer valid because it was an initial site plan, and no final site plan was ever submitted for that project within one year of the initial site plan's approval, as required by the ordinance.) 4. [32.5.2(a)] Revise the signature panel on the cover sheet to remove the Zoning division and to add VDOT and ARB. [32.5.2(a)] Include all applicable zoning overlay districts to the zoning note (note #5) on the cover sheet. The zoning overlay districts for this property include Entrance Corridor, Airport Impact Area, and Steep Slopes — Managed. 6. [32.5.2(a)] If the Board of Supervisors chooses to approve the amended special use permit for this project (SP2019-00007), then a copy of the special use permit, including all conditions, will need to be included in the site plan. (These copies are generally included on sheet 2.) 7. [32.5.2(b)] Revise notes 7 and 8 on the cover sheet so that they match. Note #7 indicates that the footprint of the proposed new building is 3,266 sq. ft., while note #8 indicates that the footprint is 3,267 sq. ft. 8. [32.5.2(b)] Provide the maximum amount of impervious cover that is being added to this site with this project. 9. [32.5.2(a)] In the site development plan narrative on sheet 2, #9 (SDP2016-00073) should be removed from the list, as that site plan is no longer valid. A final site plan was never submitted for the middle school expansion project, rendering that initial site plan invalid one year after its date of approval. 10. [32.5.2(n)] On sheet C3.0, it appears that additional portions of the existing tree cover near the eastern property line should be shown as demolished, as the stormwater management plans depict SWM facilities being installed in that area. 11. [32.5.2(d)] The areas of managed steep slopes also need to be shown on sheets C3, C4, and C5 so that staff may accurately understand the locations of those slopes in relation to the proposed improvements, in order to determine whether any steep slopes are being disturbed with these improvements. The addition of gravel to expand the existing gravel drive may disturb some steep slopes. 12. [32.5.2(n)] Identify the height of the proposed new wall surrounding the sidewalk on the northwest side of the pavilion. A railing may be required along the wall. 13. [32.5.2(n)] A railing needs to be provided on either side of the wood stepped porch. 14. [32.5.2(n)] Clarify what the label "add alternate #1" means for the wood stepped porch. 15. [32.5.2(n); 4.17] A lighting plan was not included in this submission of the site plan. If any outdoor lighting is proposed for this project, then a lighting plan that meets the requirements of 18-4.17 must be submitted to be reviewed along with the site plan. Clarify whether any outdoor lighting is proposed in associated with this pavilion building. Please contact Andy Reitelbach at the Department of Community Development at areitelbach@albemarle.ore or 434-296-5832 ext. 3261 for further information.
