Re: Stonefield Block DI FSP
W WA Project No. 219040.04
Dear Ms. Kanellopoulos:
We have received the County comments dated August 10, 2020 for the Stonefield Block D1
Final Site plan. Our response is as follows:
Plannin¢
2. 18-4.11.4 Easement conflicts. It appears there may be easement conflicts with the existing
gas easement and existing power easement. Contact Charlottesville Gas and Dominion
Power directly to ensure building is not conflicting with easements. Attached is additional
guidance for Dominion Power easements.
c. Comment: REV 1: Provide a letter from the gas line easement holder (signed)
indicating their approval of the improvements shown within the easement.
i. REV 2: Comment remains.
Response: The easement plat will be submitted to the County under
separate cover.
8. 18-32.5.2 Contents of an initial site plan and 18-32.6.2 Contents of a final site plan:
e. Include the signed/approved resolution for the Special Exception approved by the
Board of Supervisors on February 5, 2020. Ensure the conditions are being met.
The resolution is attached for reference.
a. Comment: REV 1: Partially addressed. Show how Condition 3(b) is being
met. This should show elevations/stories of each side of the building, to
ensure this requirement is being met.
b. Comment: REV 2: Partially addressed. The Hydraulic Road section does not
exactly match the section shown on Sheet 7 of the special exception.
Recommend to also include Sheet 8 of the special exception with the final site
plan, to be clear the maximum building height, including all roof
appurtenance/mechanical equipment is 90 feet. This is also indicated on
Sheet V of the special exception.
Response: The requested building elevations have been included with
this submittal.

9. 18-32.6.2/18-32.7.4.2/18-32.7.5.3 Easements:
ii. Comment: There appear to be other discrepancies between the site plan
and plat as well. For example, the plan shows the access easement of
District Avenue being adjusted, while the plat shows the access easements
of Inglewood and Bond being adjusted. Ensure both submittals match.
a. Comment: REV 2: Partially addressed. The demo plan also
needs to be updated. For example, Sheet 7 of the final site plan
shows the sidewalk easement on the other side of District Ave as
being relocated, which is not shown on the easement plat or site
plan layout. Also ensure all new easements are shown and
labeled on the landscaping plan — the SWM easement does not
appear to be shownllabeled there.
Response: The noted easements are shown on the plat, site
plan and landscape plan. The sidewalk easement has been
revised to match the plat submission.
15. Additional applications: The following applications and approvals are required prior tofinal
site plan approval:
e. 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. See Engineering comments on required SWM
easements. One easement plat may be submitted for all non ACSA easements, however
Engineering has separate deed requirements for SWM easements.
a. Comment: REV 1: Review of SUB201900150 (now an easement and subdivision
plat) is in progress and review comments will be sent separately.
b. Comment: REV 2: Comment remains.
Response: Noted.
f. Architectural Review Board: A Certificate of Appropriateness from the ARB is required
prior to final site plan approval. Coordinate directly with Margaret Maliszewski

b. Comment: REV 2: Comment remains.
Response: Noted. The ARB comments have been addressed. The applicable
sheets are provided with the site plan.
