RE: SDP200800090 Rivanna Plaza Letter of Revision, LOR #3
Dear Mr. Greene,
The LOR application referenced above has been reviewed. In order for the amended site plan to be
approved the following revisions are required:
[32.5.2(b), 4.12] Parking count and design.
a. Provide the gross square footage of the Schewel's Furniture development so staff can confirm that
adequate parking is being provided onsite.
b. Update the total parking space count in the front parking lot of the Schewel's site to 26. The plans current
indicate 24 spaces are provided in the front parking lot.
c. Per Sec. 4.12.15(f), designs that provide parking along accessways providing principal ingress, egress,
and circulation on the site are not permissible. As such, move the existing parking island so that the
added parking space is included in the parking row to the left and separated from the travel lane to the
right.
2. [32.7.2.3] Sidewalk. Similarly, extend the sidewalk in front of the new space and modify the handrail so customers
do not have to walk into the travel land to reach the building (or climb over the railing).
3. [4.12.19] Dumpster.
a. Indicate the dumpster pad material. Note, per the zoning code, dumpster pads must be constructed of
concrete.
b. Revise the dumpster pad design such that the length of the concrete pad extends no less than eight feet
beyond the front of the dumpster. See Sec. 4.12.19(b) for more information.
4. [32.7.9] Landscape Plan. Are the two (2) Chinese Holly plants intended to be on either side of the building
entrance? Staff was not able to locate these two plants, however there are two (2) additional Shamrock Holly
plants identified on the plan map, above what is listed in the plant list/schedule table.
5. [Comment] Sign location. In accordance with recent County guidance, please remove sign location depictions and
labels from all plan sheets.
6. [32.6.2(h)] Signature panel. Add a signature line for Albemarle County Service Authority.
