From: Andrew Reitelbach, Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: September 15, 2020
Subject: SDP2020-00055 Old Trail Block 2B Rutherford Hotel — 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. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the application number of this project (SDP2020-00055) in the title on the
cover sheet of the site plan.
2. [32.5.2(a)] Include all applicable zoning overlay districts to the zoning note on the cover sheet.
The zoning overlay districts for this property include the Entrance Corridor and Steep Slopes
— Managed.
3. [32.5.2(a)] On sheet 3, under the survey notes, identify the correct zoning district and overlay
districts for this property. The note indicates the master plan land use designation instead of
the zoning district.
4. [32.5.2(a)] Depict and identify the location(s) of the Managed Steep Slopes on all sheets of
the plan that include graphic representations of the site.
5. [32.5.2(a)] Identify the zoning district and the present use of the property in the labels for all
the abutting parcels.
6. [32.5.2(i)] Is there a plan for what will be done with the unused entrance on the northeast
side of the property, beside the entrance to the Lodge at Old Trail?
7. [4.12.13(a)] The loading space needs to be adjacent to the structure. Revise its location. Or
submit a request pursuant to 4.12.13(f) for a modification of the location of the loading space,
with justification for why it has been placed where it is depicted.
8. [4.12.19(b)] Identify the length of the concrete pad that will extend in front of the dumpster
enclosure. It must be at least eight feet beyond the front of the dumpster.
9. [4.12.19(c)] Identify what is being used to screen the dumpster, including both landscaping
and fencing/walls. Provide a section of the proposed enclosure wall or fence.
10. [4.12.16] Parking spaces must be at least 18 feet in length. Parking spaces can be 16 feet in
length only if there is a 2-ft. overhang devoid of landscaping (other than grass) or other
potential obstructions, such as light poles. For all spaces that are proposed to be 16 feet in
length, depict this 2-ft. overhang adjacent to the spaces and remove all landscaping and other
obstructions, including light poles. It appears that all spaces along the perimeter of the site
are affected by this issue.
11. [4.12.16] Identify the width of the parking spaces along the western side of the property.
12. [4.17] On the photometric plan, sheet 8, the light loss factor (LLF) must be 1.0. Revise the
luminaire schedule and all applicable calculations, such as footcandles, to reflect an LLF of 1.0.
13. [4.17] Clarify the symbolism of the proposed lights on the photometric plan and in the
luminaire schedule. There are two symbols that appear to be exactly the same that identify
two different lights —A3-1 and A5-1. It is unclear where all those lights are located. Only eight
new lights are depicted on the plan; however, the luminaire schedule identifies there as being
ten new lights overall.
14. [4.17] There are several areas where the footcandles are greater than the maximum allowed
of 0.5fc at property lines and spilling onto adjacent parcels and public streets. Revise the
locations of the lights or the lumens (or revise some other way) so that the amount of
footcandles does not rise above 0.5 at the property lines.
15. [32.5.20); 32.5.2(k)] Depict and label all existing and proposed water, sewer, and drainage
easements.
16. [32.5.2(1)] Depict and label all other existing and proposed utility easements.
17. [32.5.2(m)] Show the distance to the centerline of the nearest existing street intersection
from the proposed ingress and egress.
18. [32.7.9.4(a)] Provide the plant list on the landscaping plan. The trees and shrubs on the plan
are identified with abbreviations. However, there is no table providing their information,
including name, height, canopy, caliper, etc. Staff is not able to review the landscaping plan
without a plant list.
19. [32.7.9.7] Provide landscaping along the Claremont Lane side of the property to screen the
parking lot and the dumpster pad.
20. [32.7.9.6] Identify where the 5% required parking lot landscaping is located on the landscape
plan. Demonstrate that this requirement can be met. In addition, the calculated 792 sq.ft. is
shown as being divided by 50 sq.ft. Where is this 50 sq.ft. coming from?
21. [32.7.9.8] Provide the required tree canopy, including calculations. As a commercial site, the
tree canopy must be at least 10%.
