Initial comments from the following divisions of the Department of Community Development and other agencies, as applicable, are attached: Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) Albemarle County Engineering Services (Engineer) Albemarle County Information Services (E911) Albemarle County Building Inspections Albemarle County Department of Fire Rescue Albemarle County Service Authority Virginia Department of Transportation Virginia Department of Health Comments reflect information available at the time the development proposal was reviewed, and should not be considered final. However, the Site Review Committee has attempted to identify all issues that will be required to be resolved prior to Final Site Plan approval. The applicant shall request the project be deferred to allow required revisions if required. Please contact me at your earliest convenience if you have questions or require additional information. Sincerely, N�w Cameron Langille Senior Planner II CC: Riverbend Development alan@riverbenddev.com Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) — Cameron Langille, blangille@albemarle.org — Required changes prior to initial site plan approval: 1. [32.4.2.1 (t)] Total fees for this project are $5,694.60. County records show that $5,474,60 payment has been paid, but there is an outstanding $220.00 balance. Based on the payment breakdown provided by the applicant on the application, it appears the missing fees come from the $435.00 mailed notice fee required by Section 32.4.2.1 (f). The remaining fees must be paid prior to initial site plan approval. Comment addressed. Required changes prior to final site plan approval: 2. [ZMA201500007] The Code of Development (COD) requires a minimum of 50,000 sq. ft. of non-residential uses in Block 1. Block 1 is the only block of Brookhill where non-residential uses are permitted. Per footnote #2 under Table 5 on page 15 of the COD, ancillary uses do not count toward the non-residential sq. ft. in each block. Therefore, only 2,650 sq. ft. of non-residential uses are proposed in Block 1. The note on Sheet 1 states that Block IA + Block 1B acreage = 12.673 acres. This means that all of the acreage allowed for Block 1 is being used with these plans, which appears to make the future building labeled on this plan as not possible. Please clarify the true acreage of Block 1B in order to verify that adequate area is available for future non- residential uses to meet the 50,000 sq.ft. minimum required. a. [32.5.2 (c)] Clarify the phasing note on Sheet 1. Where are the phase boundaries of the three sub -phases of Block 1? Currently, only Phase 1 A and I are drawn. The layout drawings only label the proposed property boundary, which appears to include areas where future buildings are shown. Are those buildings going to be constructed in a separate sub -phase of Block 1? See Engineering comments for further information. 3. [32.5.2 (b)] Please revise and clarify the building footprint note on Sheet 1. According to Section 2.3.2.1 of the COD, the maximum footprint allowed in Block 1 is 20,000 sq. ft. for non-residential uses and no maximum footprint for residential uses. The note should differentiate between the maximum allowed non-residential and residential footprints. 4. [32.5.2 (b)] Comment is for information only — per LOD201700025, the proposed ice rink is a by -right use in Block 1 as an "ancillary use" and is not subject to the maximum building footprint limitation in the COD. The ice rink square footage also does not count against the minimum/maximum non-residential use sq. ft. limits specified for Block 1 by the COD. 5. [ZMA201500007] Per Section 2.2.1 (page 9) of the COD, primary entrances for buildings in Block 1 must be located on the front or side of the buildings. Please address the following: a. Label primary entrances on all buildings. b. Add sidewalks connecting the primary entrances to existing and/or proposed sidewalks along Archer Avenue and Stella Lane as necessary. 6. [General comment] Please address the following on Sheet 3: a. State the approval dates for SUB201700117 (11/16/2018). b. State the approval date for the preliminary plats for Blocks 16 and 17 (SUB202000141, 9/9/2020). c. State the approval date for the preliminary plat for Block 18 (SUB202000160,10/23/2020). d. If any other site plans, road plans, or plats are approved for other blocks prior to approval of the Block I final site plan, update this sheet as necessary. 7. [32.5.2 (b)] Per page 9 of the COD, 1 bicycle rack is required for every 5,000 sq. ft. of retail space. Please revise the require bicycle parking calculation on sheet 1 so that it calculates the required parking based on the 2,650 sq. ft. of retail space proposed in Block 1. a. Move the bicycle rack closer to the residential/retail buildings. b. Please label/title the construction detail provided for the bike rack on Sheet 10. 8. [32.5.2 (a)] Label all minimum and maximum setback lines on the layout drawings 9. [32.5.2(e)] Identify the types and sizes of the existing landscape features as described in section 32.7.9.4(c). 10. [32.5.2(e)] On all plan view sheets provide labels identifying whether the existing wooded areas are composed of evergreen, deciduous or a mix of types of trees. 11. [32.5.2 (i)] The private road extension of Stella Lane that is the main street within Block 1 must contain all features shown on the cross-section identified as Figure 10: Connector Road and Main Street Road Cross Section (page 25) of the COD. a. The cross section provided on Sheet 10 is not consistent with the COD cross-section. No on - street parking is provided. b. Draw and dimension the proposed bike lanes Along Stella Lane across all applicable drawings. See VDOT comments for further information. c. Provide on -street parking on the south side of Stella Lane. Currently, none are shown. 12. [32.5.2 (i)] Prior to final site plan approval, a road plan application must be submitted, reviewed, and approved for the extension of Stella Lane. 13.

Prior to final site plan approval, an Easement Plat Application must be submitted, reviewed and recorded. Once recorded, the final site plan will need to be updated so that all new easement labels indicate the recorded instrument number of the plat (deed book and page). 16. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the location and width of any existing or proposed utilities and utility easements including telephone, cable, electric and gas. Indicate the deed book and page reference for all exiting utility easements located on the property. 17.

[32.5.2 (n)] Please provide dimensions for all buildings, sidewalks, walkways, walls, etc. 21. [32.5.2 (n)] Per Section 3.3. of the COD (page 33), the streetscape for the main street must feature f imiture, such as benches and trash receptacles. Currently, none are shown.

The following comments will need to be addressed before approval: 1. WPO Plan must be submitted and approved before final site plan can be approved. 2. Road plan must be submitted and approved before final site plan can be approved. There is a note on the cover sheet that states everything is travelways, however a portion of Stella is proposed as a private street. 3. Sheet 3 does not show Block 1B, which is this plan. 4. Topography should be updated or field verified within the past year. 5. Retaining wall plans are necessary before final site plan approval. Also, please provide top and bottom elevations of the walls. 6. 2:1 slopes must specify a type of grass or landscaping that can handle steep slopes. 7. Please clarify the phase vs. property lines. For example, the retaining walls appear to cross a property line. This would require easements. 8. The SWM facility is not existing. It was shown on WP0201700037 amendment2, but routings, etc. should be updated with the WPO plan for this phase. 9. Provide a signed and sealed exhibit for the note on sheet 4: LIMITS OF EXISTING ALBEMARLE COUNTY PRESERVED STEEP SLOPES HAVE BEEN DETERMINED TO BE LESS THAN aS%BASED ON NEW TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE COUNTY ENGINEER, AS PERMITTED UNDER SECTION 30 7.4(b)h 10.
