Comments to be addressed with the Final Site Plan submission:
2. A site plan meeting all the requirements of section 32.6 of Chapter 18 of the Code.
3. [32.5.2(a)] General information. Revise the following:
a) Include the name of all owners on the site plan cover sheet, under project summary. The owners of TMP 32-39
and TMP 32-39A are not listed as they appear in the County's GIS system.
b) Revise the parcel information for TMP 32-39 to include the Steep Slopes — Managed overlay district information.
Also, revise the site plan to show the managed slopes information. The area of managed slopes in this parcel
appears to be very small and crossing the western property line.
c) Revise the site plan to include the parcel information for TMP 32-39A in the plan views, any where the
information for TMP 32-38 and TMP 32-39 is shown.
d) Revise the scale on sheet X3.0. It does not appear to match the scale of the shared access agreement graphic.
e) Revise the cover sheet to include the "Source of Survey" or revise "Source of Topography" to state both survey
and topography if they are the same source.
f) Revise the Sheet Check List Table and/or sheet C-500 to have consistent information for sheet number and name.
g) Revise the owner and zoning district for TMP 32-40. GIS shows this parcel as being zoned Highway Commercial
and the owner as Airport Auto Investments, LLC.
h) Revise the zoning information to list the approved proffer for the veterinary office and hospital for TMP 32-38.
i) This site plan is based upon a boundary line adjustment. Therefore, address the following:
a. A boundary line adjustment plat must be submitted (separate application, fee and submission) and approved
prior to the approval of the final site plan.
b. The plat at the back of the site plan should be removed prior to final site plan submission.
c. The final site plan must show all of the required information and not refer to a plat that is a separate
document.
d. The final site plan should show the existing parcels but also show the proposed BLA parcels.
4. 132.5.1(c), 32.5.2(a), & 4.201 Revise the setback in to address the following: Revise the setback description and
linework to fully, consistently and correctly specify the setback requirements. Address the following:
a) Include a label for all setback lines on all sheets.
b) Revise the labels for the front setbacks to specify they are for both the building and the parking.
c) Revise the front setback to include the wording about when the sidewalk is outside of the ROW.
d) Add a label to the site plan that shows that the zoning district division line is the western parcel line for TW 32-
39. The adjoining property (TW 32-40) is zoned HC.
5. [32.5.2(h)] F000dplain and related information. Revise the plan to include a floodplain note.
6. 132.5.20), (k) & (1)]] Existing sewer and drainage facilities; Private & public easements; Existing and proposed
utilities. Address the following:
a) Offsite easements will be required, provide their location and dimension. This includes a stormwater easement for
the outfall pipe in the northeast comer of the site, leading to the TW 32-39B pond.
b) See engineering comments in reference to required storm drainage easements and modification that will be
required.
c) Revise the site plan to show any existing or proposed waterline easements. In the southwest comer, where the
water meters are proposed, no easements are shown or labeled for water.
d) On the western parcel boundary line there is an existing storm pipe that crosses the property boundary. Show all
existing or proposed easements for this pipe and the associated grates the rights of all involved are not already
covered by the VDOT drainage easement.
e) An easement plat must be submitted (separate application, fee and submission) and approved prior to the approval
of the final site plan.
f) Include the abandonment of any easement in the proposed easement plat.
g) A proposed gas line easement is shown. An easement plat will be required. Work with gas provider to establish
this easement.
7. 132.5.2(m) & 32.5.2.(i)] Ingress and egress; Streets, easements and travehvays. Address the following:
a) An offsite easement is required for ingress egress, a temporary construction easement and a permanent access
easement.
b) Revise the plan to show that the access easement, on sheet X3.0, is either new or existing. If it is existing include
the deed book and page number for the easement plat and deed.
c) Ensure that the deed for the access easement included maintenance agreement details.
d) An easement plat must be submitted (separate application, fee and submission) and approved prior to the approval
of the final site plan.
e) Ensure that the deed for the access easement, submitted with the plat, includes maintenance agreement details that
meet the Counties minimum requirements.
8. [32.5.2(n)] Existing and proposed improvements. Address the following:
a) See engineering comments in reference to pedestrian access from the pumps to the store.
b) Revise the plan to include a detail for the screening fence.
c) Revise the plan to show the bottom of wall elevation for the retaining wall and label the maximum height of the
retaining wall.
d) Revise the plan to include a detail for the dumpster enclosure.
e) Revise the plan to address the following in reference to parking:
i. See engineering comments on parking conflicts and required dimensions.
ii. Revise the legend for areas within the building. The different hatches can not be differentiated from each
other, both in the legend and in the building layout.
iii. The parking calculation (32.5.2(b)) does not incorporate 824 SF of the building and the inclusion of an
"office" use does not appear appropriate for the facility. It appears that the office area is an integral
portion of the other uses and not a separate use. Utilizing the "Restaurant" and the "Food Store"
calculation, both of which are based on Gross Floor Area (GFA), encompasses all areas of the building and
all uses that are proposed. If the bathrooms are incorporated into the "restaurant" part of the calculations it
generates 1.531 SF or Restaurant use and 4,546 SF of Food Store use. This generates a total required
parking of 43 spaces. This allows some flexibility to address some of engineering concerns.
a. Restaurant-- 1,531 at 13 spaces/1,000 SF GFA (1,531/1,000=1.53xl3=19.9)
b. Food Store= 4,546 at 1 space/200 SF GFA (4,546/200=22.73)
f) See engineering comments on loading areas.
g) Show all street/accessway signage on the plan, ensure it is shown on the layout and landscaping sheets, and ensure
there are no conflicts with landscaping.
h) Revise the plan to include the proposed paving material types for all walks, parking lots and driveways. This
information should include sections for each of those items.
i) There are what appear to be walls on either side of the pedestrian ramp to Airport Road that are shown on the
Landscape Plan but not shown on the other sheets. If is it a wall, show it on all other sheets and ensure it is labeled
with top -of -wall, bottom -of -wall, and maximum wall height on the grading sheets. If it is not a wall, clarify what
is being shown in the Landscape Plan. A railing should also be shown on the other sheets, labeled, and a detail of
the railing would need to be included in the site plan.
UPDATE: Comment appears to no longer be required. The walls specified were not shown on the 3/17/2020
landscape plan.
9. 132.5.2.(e), 32.5.2.(p) & 32.6.2(j)] Landscape plan. A landscape plan is required in the final site plan that complies
with section 32.7.9. A landscape plan was submitted but requires additional information for the final site plan. Such
information should include, but is not limited to, the following:
a) The calculation for the required tree canopy does not appear to be correct. The coversheet shows the site as
102,514 SF and the calculation lists the Gross Site Area as only 67,665 SF. The canopy is based on the whole
parcel, not a portion of it. Revise the calculation and ensure sufficient tree canopy is provided to meet the
requirement.
UPDATE: Comment not vet fully addressed. Although the SF of "provided" canopy area was revised and
increased to 14,772 the "required" calculation was not updated. The comment above is in reference to the
"required" SF of canopy. Address the following:
i. Revise the "required" canopy calculation.
ii. Ensure "provided" percentage is still correct. It was not revised when the 'provide" area was increased.
iii. Ensure that the "provided" canopy meets or exceeds the "required" canopy.
b) Do not utilize trees provided for street trees in the count for the parking lot trees. Additional parking lot trees are
required.
c) Revise the landscape schedule to include the canopy of each tree, the total canopy for that type of tree (canopy x
quantity) and then tally the quantity of canopy provided at the bottom of the schedule. Although the amount of
canopy "provided" is in the Landscape Compliance Chart there is nothing in the landscape plan showing how the
provided 9,242 SF of canopy was generated.
UPDATE: Comment addressed.
d) Provide the calculations for planting beds in the parking area being the equivalent area of 5% of paved and
vehicular circulation area, 1 large or medium shade tree per 10 parking spaces and ensure that the minimum
requirements are met.
UPDATE: Comment addressed. Update these items if the SF of area or provided tree count changes.
e) Provide the required shrubs between the parking spaces and Airport Road in the area of the HC ramp. Some
shrubs could be provided at the lot side of the ramp and some could be provided at the roadside.
f) Ensure area that utilized to meet the interior parking landscaping bed requirement is planted with landscaping, not
just one tree in a much larger area, and is around the parking. The hatched island at the comer of the building
could be changed to a planting bed and provide additional area. Do not claim areas not adjacent to parking,
especially when it is above the required amount.
g) Include in the site plan a filled out, signed and dated conservation checklist.
h) Include in the existing conditions, grading and landscape sheets tree protection fencing around all existing trees
that are to remain and include tree protection fencing details in the site plan.
10. 132.5.2(n) & 32.6.2(k)] Outdoor lighting. In reference to the photometric plan address the following:
a) Revise the Photometric Plan so that for the full length of both right of ways the Footcandles do not exceed 0.5.
There are at least four portions of the parcel line that show values above what is allowed.
b) Revise the Luminaire Schedule to have LLF value for all fixtures and update the table accordingly.
c) Revise the Luminaire Schedule to have values for the total lamp lumens.
d) Ensure that the all product manufacturer cutsheets are provided in the site plan and include pictures or details that
allow determination that they are "full cut off'.
11. [32.5.2(r)] Symbols and abbreviations. Revise the site plan to include a legend for the line types used in the plan.
12. [Comment] ARB comments are not available at this time. Because of COVIDI9's impact on public meetings the
ARB comments will be provided when they become available. The final site plan approval will not be granted until
ARB has approved the site plan.
13. [Comment] See the SRC comments from most of the reviewers attached. All SRC reviewer comments must be
sufficiently address prior to final site plan approval.
14. UPDATE: [NEW COMMENTI The final site plan will not be approved until an APB Certificate of
Appropriateness has been granted. Additional revisions have been made to the site layout, based upon ARB
comments, that have not been shown on the version of the initial site plan (see note top of "UPDATE" comments)
being reviewed. ARB review of the Initial Site Plan has not been finalized/completed, revisions to the site plan to meet
ARB comments have been made since the site plan submission date, and additional revisions may be required.
Additional discussion and review of the site plan is on the agenda for the 9/21/2020 ARB meeting. Any revisions to
the site plan from the original submission date to meet ARB requirements will be reviewed by all reviewers during the
final site plan review process.

RE: ARB-2020-39 and ARB-2020-46: Sheetz Initial Site Plan and Architectural Review
(TMP 03200-00-00-03800)
Dear Ms. Long,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on Monday, July 6, 2020, held a work
session on Sheetz Site Layout. The ARB had the following comments:
1. The general relative orientation of the canopy, building, car wash and dumpster are acceptable as
shown in the "Revisions to Original" drawing updated 6/29/20.
2. The applicant should resubmit the Initial Site Plan for full ARB review with updated color
renderings that show views from the Entrance Corridor streets and with the changes discussed
during the work session, as follows:
a. Consider reducing the canopy to 6 double -stacked dispensers or find another way to reduce
the canopy length.
b. Reverse the slope of the canopy or consider a flat canopy.
c. Shift the store building to the south to align with the canopy and to make the store building
more prominent than the car wash.
The ARB anticipated being able to recommend approval of the Initial Site Plan with the changes
discussed during the meeting. The ARB's recommendation on the revised submittal is needed for the lead
planner to take further action on the Initial Site Plan.
Please submit your revised drawings for continued ARB review at your earliest convenience. Note that
this will be considered a resubmittal under ARB-2020-39. Include the attached "Revised Application
Submittal" form to ensure proper tracking and distribution. Applications and checklists are available at
www.albemarle.or ARB. On-line submittal instructions are available at the Community Development
Department web page.
If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to contact me.

Sheetz fuel tanker must occupy 4'-5' of inside WBL of Airport Rd. to avoid curb on -site. Image,
below, p. 3. Auto -turn fig. indicates fuel tanker entering the site from this direction will entirely
occupy the site -to -Airport Rd exit lane. Fuel tanker's path may conflict with a vehicle exiting car
wash, or site. Please examine option of shifting fuel loading and delivery zone to back of site,
relative to Airport Road. Current Airport Rd. site entry -exit design and fuel loading and delivery
zone locations present conflicts:
i. 15 parking spaces east of fuel dispensing islands (spaces #33 — 47):
1. For vehicles exiting fueling area to site -exit on Airport Road, if fuel tanker
occupies proposed fuel loading /delivery zone, there is a conflict.
2. For Sheetz fuel tanker that has entered the site from Airport Rd, there is possible
conflict with car parked in space #33, or with vehicles exiting fueling area, or
possibly with fueling space canopy structure, or protective bollard/s.
b. Of major site elements (underground fuel tanks, fueling space, store, car wash, bioretention),
Engineering encourages review of site objectives. Please examine alternative locations for major
site elements to limit conflicts. This site presents a number of potential traffic -traffic, traffic -
tanker, traffic -pedestrian conflicts. Initial site plan design reflects thought, effort, and expense, it
may be too late for substantial redesign, but certain improvements may be possible. Given
investment in design, certain alternatives are less -likely possibilities. Possibilities:
i. UG fuel tanks should be at a lower elevation, if possible. This area may not be upslope
ofbioretention with infiltration. Infiltration is not a suitable SWM practice for possible

petroleum -laden runoff, which is a possibility at a large-scale commercial re -fueling
station. If UG fuel tanks occupy a lower elevation, it may be possible to isolate runoff
from the surface of the UG fuel tank area, treat it to remove petroleum fraction (injurious
to bioretention) prior to routing runoff to bioretention (or other) infiltration practice. As
proposed, runoff from the UG fuel tank area (a site high point /higher elev.) is collected,
routed to an underground SWM detention system, and then routed to bioretention filter B.
ii. Please consider whether multiple C3.0 traffic /pedestrian patterns are a best alternative.
ARB, Planning, Zoning (setback) requirements affect design, but on -site circulation
appears problematic, given current location of major site elements (below):
1. Purple —store
2. Blud —car wash
3. Yellow—drive-thru
4. Green —bioretention
5.—Sheetz fuel tanker
6. --commercial fueling space
iii. For example: would switching the fueling space and store offer any benefit, or work?
iv. Would shifting proposed UG fuel tanks to back of site relative to Airport Road address
tanker entry conflict points at entry /exit from Airport Road?
v. Is space available between parking spaces 33-47 and Rt. 29 to relocate bioretention filter
B from back of site to this location?
vi. Please examine alternative site layouts in effort to minimize traffic -traffic conflicts,
traffic -pedestrian conflicts, and to protect biofilters.

11. Recommend label CG-6 fronting parking /UG fuel tanks facing Airport Road spill curb.
12. Provide typ. parking space length for parking spaces #7 — 18.
13. Recommend eliminate parking space #7 (since overlaps HC parking space 6) and shift spaces 8 and 9 south
to allow pavement markings to delineate a pedestrian access from parking spaces #33 thru 47 to storefront.
Loss of one parking space to delineate pedestrian access of nearly 125' length from parking spaces 33 — 47
(beneath the center of fuel canopy) to safety of sidewalk fronting store is likely a worthwhile trade-off.

14. Show /label SWM Facility easement for bioretention filters A, B.
15. Provide public drainage easements for any inlets receiving flow from public roads, and for any pipes
downstream of proposed on -site bioretention practices, or underground detention systems.
16. Relocate 15" DIA RCP between bioretention filter A and B to earth slope to reduce potential future conflict
should pipes in public easement require maintenance replacement. Avoid placing storm pipe between
bioretention filters A and B beneath: car wash drive aisle, curb, store drive-thru, and any other paved

Review #1
Dear Ms. Saternye:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Line+Grade Civil Engineering,
dated 16 March 2020, and offers the following comments:
1. Provide right turn lane warrants for Route 649 into proposed site. This section of SR
649 is designated Minor Arterial.
2. Provide right turn lane warrants for Route 29 into proposed site. This section of SR 29 is
designated Principal Arterial and entrance is proposed combined/joint entrance with
adjacent parcel.
3. Entrance spacing does not appear to meet the minimum per RDM, Appendix F, pg. 26.
This includes the shared entrance adjacent to Route 29.
4. Entrance radii do not appear to meet design vehicle and turning radius by land use. See
table 4-3 on page F-94, RDM. Appears 50' radii is the minimum for Commercial/Retail
without separate truck access.
5. Project appears to be within the Physical and Functional Areas of Intersection. Part A of
the Waiver Form AM-E shall be completed and submitted for review by the District
Location and Design Engineer for approval. See RDM appendix F-96
6. Add note stating "Landscaping plants and trees adjacent to the sight distance triangle will
need to be maintained in area between 2 and 7 feet above ground as a clear zone to
preserve sight lines and accommodate pedestrians."
7. Please show "mill and overlay" areas on plans in accordance with AT-2. Show limits of
mill and overlay to adjacent travel lane. Also, please add the WP-2 detail to the plans.
8. MOT plan for this project should be for multi -lane roads, please review TTC -6.2, TTC-
16.2, and TTC-53.0. Please include the proposed mill and overlay.

9. Note that the final plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design Manual
Appendices B(1) and F, as well as any other applicable standards, regulations or other
requirements.
10. Please provide a comment response letter with each submission after the initial.
If further information is desired, please contact Max Greene at 434-422-9894.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use

Ms. Satemye:
As requested, I have reviewed the Initial Site Plan, dated 3/16/20, for the proposed
development, referenced above. It appears both water and sewer will be provided by
public utilities, and it does not appear any existing wells or onsite septic systems will be
impacted, I have no objection to the proposed development.
If there are any questions or concerns, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
