RE: Boys & Girls Club Northside — Final Site Plan Review — SDP202000031- Comment
Response Letter
Dear Ms. Kanellopoulos:
We have reviewed your comments from April 17, 2020 and made the necessary revisions.
Please find our responses to the comments below in bold lettering.
Planning (Tori Kanellopoulos):
1. 18-4.2 Critical slopes. Board of Supervisors approval of the critical slopes waiver (special
exception) is required prior to final site plan approval. Compliance with any conditions
will be required on the site plan.
Acknowledged.
a. An approved resolution from the Board for the special exception must be added
to the site plan. It can be added to an existing sheet or as a new sheet.
Acknowledged. Critical Slopes waiver has been submitted to the County for review
and BOS action.
2. 18-4.2 Critical slopes. The following critical slopes do not appear to be shown on the site
plan:
The referenced critical slopes have been added to the plan on all sheets.
3. 18-10.4 Rural Area setbacks. The front setback requirement is listed twice, while the
side setback is not included on the first sheet.
Setbacks have been adjusted on Sheet C0.0.
4. 18-32.5.2 Contents of an initial site plan and 18-32.6.2 Contents of a final site plan. On
Sheet 1, the Owner should be listed as 'County of Albemarle, School Board', while the
Developer should be listed as 'Boys and Girls Club'. The owner of the parcel is the
County, not Boys and Girls Club, therefore the Owner and Developer are not the same.
Sheet C0.0 has been revised to list Boys and Girls Club as the developer and County of
Albemarle School Board as the owner.

6. 18-32.7.4.2/18-32.7.5.3 Easements:
a. Any new and revised easements must be shown on an easement plat, which
must be approved prior to final site plan approval. Maintenance documentation
must be provided for non-ACSA easements. The public drainage easement
template is attached.
