SDP202000075 Scott's Ivy Exxon - Initial Site flan
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plan referenced above once the following
comments 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, which is to the Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
[32.5.2(n, 4.1, 4.1(a)(2), 32.5.2(n)] Water supply. Within the services areas of the Albemarle County Service Authority
(the "service areas"), each development and each lot shall be served by the public water supply. At the special use permit
stage (SP2020-6) you submitted a waiver requesting not to make the connection to public water but instead to continue
utilizing the existing private well onsite. The waiver has not been approved yet, as additional information is required
before an action can be taken on the request. Completely fill out the connection evaluation form by provide written
estimates (attached) and submit it with the final site plan. This waiver shall be approved prior to final site plan approval
or the use shall connect to public water.
2. 132.5.2(n), 4.12.161 Parking. Relabel the area "gravel storage/service parking area" to more clearly define what this area is
being used for. If it is for "vehicles awaiting repair", please specifically label it as such. Dimension and number the parking
spaces.
3. [32.5.2(b), 4.12, 5.1.31, 32.7.9.71 Screening. Ensure the spaces designated for "vehicles awaiting repair" are not visible
from Rte. 250 or any residential property by providing screening meeting County requirements. Provide a 6' tall wooden
fence around the parking area for vehicles awaiting repair.
4. [32.7.9.7, 32.7.9.7(a)(1), 32.7.9.7(a)(3)] Screening. Commercial uses shall be screened from residential uses. Provide
adequate screening of the gravel parking area from the existing residential use on the lot. Screening shall consist of either
a 20' wide planting strip with a double staggered row of evergreen plantings or a 6' tall wooden fence.
5. [32.7.9.7] Screening. Commercial uses shall be screened from the adjacent rural
areas zoning district. The plantings along the eastern property line do not meet the
minimum screening requirements of the ordinance. Either revise the landscaping to
add additional trees or shrubs to provide a double staggered row of evergreen
plantings or provide a 6' tall wooden fence in addition to the single row of
plantings currently proposed. (See location in diagram).
6. [32.7.9.7] Screening. The existing trees proposed to be preserved adjacent to the
gravel parking area do not meet the screening requirements of the ordinance. The
preserved planting strip is less than 20' for the majority of this area. Either add
additional tree preservation area to equal 20' wide landscape area, or add a 6'
wooden fence to screen this area, or add an additional row of evergreen trees
outside of the tree preservation area. (See location in diagram).
7. [SP2020-06, 32.5.2(b)] Information regarding the proposed use. Revise the
current/proposed use on the cover sheet to provide a total square footage of all
buildings (5,150 SF) and the total number of auto service bays (7). Also number the
auto service bays on the plan.
8. 132.5.2(n), 4.12.15(a)] Surface material. Pave all parking and access aisles, including the "gravel storage/service parking
area". If the County Engineer and VDH approve the gravel parking area it may remain.
9. 132.5.2(n), 4.12.15(g)] Curb and gutter in parking areas and along travelways. Provide curb and gutter throughout the
parking areas and along the travelways.
10. [32.5.2(n)] VDH has not approved the gravel parking lot over the existing septic system. Address their concern (see
attached review letter). Also, address VDH's other comment prior to final site plan approval. VDH approved is required
prior to final site plan approval.
11. 132.5.41 Groundwater assessment. On the cover sheet provide the water usage of the site. If the plan shows a use using less
than 2,000 gallons/day (average) a Tier 3 review is required. If the plans show a use using greater than 2,000 gallons/day
(average) a Tier 4 groundwater review is necessary. The application for an initial site plan shall include draft groundwater
management plans and aquifer testing workplans required by sections 17-1003 and 17-1004, if applicable. The
requirements of sections 17-1003 and 17-1004 shall be satisfied prior to final site plan approval.
12. [32.5.2(1)] Watercourses and other bodies of water. Revise the watershed note on the plan, as the site is within the Ivy
Creek Water Supply Watershed and not the Moores Creek Watershed as listed.
13. [32.5.2(d)] Topography and proposed grading. Provide existing topography 50 feet outside of the site.
14. 132.5.2(n] Existing and proposed utilities. Depict and label the water line to the building.
15. [4.12.18] Dumpsterpad. Dimension the dumpster pad.

Department of Transportation. VDOT approval of the proposed entrances to the site shall be required prior to final site plan
approval.
18. [32.5.2(n)] Any proposed outdoor lighting must be shown on the site plan. A photometric plan and lighting cut sheets must
be provided with the final site plan. Proposed lighting must comply with requirements of Sec. 32.7.8 & Sec 4.17 of the
Zoning Ordinance. In addition to meeting all lighting requirements a standard lighting note will be required.
19. [32.5.2(s)] During the review of this project the adjacent property owner, Rick Richmond TNT 58A2-20A, contacted staff.
He believes a portion of his existing drainfield is located in the right-of-way fronting his property in the vicinity of the
proposed new pavement for the taper entrance. Prior to final site plan approval VDOT and VDH shall review this aspect of
the plan.
20. 132.5.2(n), 32.5.1(c)] Dimensions. Dimension the proposed building.
21. 132.8.2, 32.7.4.11 Approval of a VSMP Plan is required prior to final site plan approval.
22. [32.6] The final site plan shall meeting all the requirements of section 32.6 of Chapter 18 of the Code.

RE: SP2020-00006 Scott's Ivy Exxon
Pursuant to Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance Section 8-4.1(a) (2), below is a detailed cost
breakdown and comparison for the cost of connecting the proposed development or lot to a
public water supply to the cost of installing an on -site well and/or onsite sewage system. This is
a unique situation where the use on the lot already exists, along with the existing onsite well and
onsite sewage system. The use on the property is an existing and non -conforming use, and it
currently relies on the existing well and septic system on the property, in lieu of public utilities.
Public water connection:
Public water is available for a connection to the property, however, it requires offsite easements
and crossing the CSX Railroad tracks and right of way for a connection to the existing system.
Below is a summary of the costs for the water connection to the site:
o Waterline lateral installation (approx. 6001f) = $15,000
o Easement for the waterline lateral = $5,000
o Permitting cost for the Railroad crossing = $10,000
o Shutdown of the railroad for the boring (including Flaggers/inspections) = $25,000
o Boring cost under the railroad = $10,000
o Engineered design plans and easement plats-- $10,000
Total Cost: $75,000
Connection to Onsite Well & Onsite Sewage System:
o Well installation cost = $0.00 (well is existing and in service)
o Septic Sewage system cost = $0.00 (septic system is existing and in service)
Total Cost: $0.00
Based on the above comparison, a connection to the public water facility is a cost that exceeds
the costs of an onsite well and sewage system. The onsite system is existing, and will not require
any additional modifications for the proposed improvements to the lot. The connection to the
public utilities is a costly improvement, especially with the issue of crossing the existing railroad
tracks and right of way. This cost analysis should satisfy the requirements from Section 18-
4.l(a)(2) of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance.
Sincerely,
Scott Collins

Mr. Perez:
As requested, I've reviewed the subject plat, dated 11/16/20, and offer the following
comments:
1) The location of the proposed "gravel storage / service parking area" conflicts with
that of the existing septic system drainfield. Referring to 12VAC5-610-700:
1. No structures shall be placed over the subsurface soil absorption system.
Driveways or parking lots shall not be constructed on the subsurface soil
absorption system unless the invert of the lead or header lines or top of the
gravel in the absorption trenches is deeper than 30 inches below the ground
surface and the driveway or parking lot is paved with portland cement or
bituminous concrete to prevent compaction of the trench bottom. Driveways
and parking lots shall not be constructed over the distribution box unless
adequate structural and access provisions are provided.
In order to recommend approval of constructing a parking area over the existing
drainfield, the locations and depths of the various septic system components
would have to be determined, and if adequate, the proposed construction would
have to include surfacing vehicle traffic and parking areas with either cement or
asphalt.
2) I recommend the site plan show the locations of the septic tank serving the
existing Exxon and the Distribution Box(s). If either are located within areas to
be developed, adequate protection would need to be proposed. If the septic tank
is located within the 10' minimum separation distance to the expanded structure, I
suggest the plan state that a permit from the Health Department would be attained
for its relocation.
If there are any questions or concerns, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.

Alan Mazurowski
