The attached review comments necessitate a change in your proposal, in both entrance location, critical slope disturbance, and accessway design. The proposal shall be revised to address all required changes in entrance design, access design and layout, and slope disturbance. Once revised please resubmit and I'll the revised documents to the various reviewers (VDOT, Engineering, Fire and Rescue, and Planning) for final review. Once we have everyone's tentative approvals on the new design, I suggest then we schedule this item for the Planning Commission and subsequently the Board of Supervisors. At this time it is appropriate for you to defer the project while you revise the plan. Please send me an email requesting a deferral and to pull the item from the March 23, 2021 PC meeting and the tentatively schedule April 211 BOS meeting.

The proposed entrance should be spaced from the railroad gravel access road according to Table 2-2 of Appendix F of the Road Design Manual. 2. The proposed entrance should be aligned with the entrance to Ivy Nursery, Inc. (across Broomley Rd.) as described in Section 4 and shown in Figure 4-6, both of Appendix F of the Road Design Manual. 3. Note that the final plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design Manual Appendices 13(1) and F, as well as any other applicable standards, regulations or other requirements. Please provide a digital copy in PDF format of the revised plan along with a comment response letter. If further information is desired, please contact Doug McAvoy Jr. at (540) 718-6113. 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 Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process. Sincerely, Adam J. Moore, P.E.

A waiver is required for access aisles greater than 10%. It appears the road can be relocated where it enters the existing improvements to provide a 10% or less maximum grade. Additional exhibits will be needed if the waiver is requested. [18.4.12.17a] 2. The entrance will need to meet VDOT standards. It appears to be too far offset from the existing Ivy Nursery entrance. [18.4.12.17b] 3. If the entrance is located to be across from the Ivy Nursery entrance. the existing access road to the stormwater facility will need to preserved and relocated to come o8 of the proposed access road. 4. The cross -slope on the alternate entrance location will need to be correctly superelevated or crowned, with a 2% max. E Pape: 10 County of Albemarle Printed On: 0211812 221 a A,A , � �'Igp�vlP County of Albemarle Department of Community Development Memorandum To: Chris Perez, Community Development Planning and Zoning Review From: Matt Wentland, Community Development Engineering Review Date: February 16, 2021 Subject: Christian Aid Mission — Broomley Road Entrance (SE202000019) — Critical Slopes Impact Review The critical slope waiver request has been reviewed. The applicant provided field -certified topographic data, which is more accurate than County GIS data. The engineering analysis of the request follows: Description of critical slope area and proposed disturbance: The critical slopes proposed to be impacted were created during the construction of Broomley Road, the construction of the railroad, the construction of an access road through the parcel for stormwater facilities, and some that are naturally occurring. The land cover is currently grass and scrub, with some woods. The applicant proposes critical slope impacts for a secondary access road to the existing improvements. Proposed Entrance Location (option 1) Areas Acres Total parcel 12 acres (522,720 sf) Project Limits of Disturbance 19,800 sf 3.8% of parcel area Critical slopes disturbed in project 5,550 sf 28.0% of project area 1.1% of parcel area Alternate Entrance Location i option 2 Areas Acres Total parcel 12 acres (522,720 sf) Project Limits of Disturbance 45,500 sf 8.7% of parcel area Critical slopes disturbed in project 16,838 sf 37.0% of project area 3.2% of parcel area Exemptions to critical slopes waivers for driveways, roads and utilities without reasonable alternative locations: The proposed disturbance is not exempt as defined in Section 4.2.6. Compliance with Zoning Ordinance 18-4.2: "movement of soil and rock" The existing slope is stabilized. Proper slope grading, control of drainage, ESC measures, and vegetative stabilization will minimize movement of soil. However, the area of land disturbance for option 1 is approximately half the area of option 2. Therefore, option 1 is preferred because less land disturbance typically results in a lower risk for movement of soil and rock. "excessive stormwater runoff' The proposed engineered ditch and swale will control and direct stormwater and stormwater management will be needed for either option, so no excessive post -development runoff is expected. "siltation" The disturbed area is subject to the County's Water Protection Ordinance and erosion and sediment control measures will be provided in a plan to be used throughout construction. Permanent Albemarle County Community Development Engineering Review comments Page 2 of 2 stabilization and maintenance will ensure long term stability. For either option, the closest water body is approximately 600 ft from this project. The area of land disturbance for option 1 is approximately half the area of disturbance for option 2. Therefore, option 1 is preferred because less land disturbance typically results in a lower risk for sediment release. "loss of aesthetic resource" This area has been previously cleared and graded during the construction of the Broomley Road Bridge and the construction of a ditch along Broomley Road. "septic effluent" There are no septic systems proposed with this project. Based on the review above, there are no engineering concerns which prohibit the disturbance of the critical slopes as proposed with either entrance location. However, Engineering's preferred option is option 1 because of reduced impacts to critical slopes and less land disturbance when compared to option 2. The longitudinal slope of the entranced for option 1 exceeds the maximum allowed (10%) but lengthening the accessway and averaging the slope throughout its length should address this issue. If the slope cannot be reduced to 10% maximum for the entire length, engineering would support a waiver to allow for a slightly steeper accessway in this case in support of reduced critical slope impacts and land disturbance. file_ SF202000019 Christian Aid Mission Critical Slope Waiver Review Letter 02-16-21 doc Review Comments for SE202000019 Project Name CHRISTIAN AID MISSION - BROOMLEY ROAD ENTRANCE - DIGITAL Date Completed: Department/DivisionlAgency: Review Status: Reviewer: Howard Lagomarsino ACFR Comments: Fire Rescue Pending 1) Emergency vehicle access requires 25 radius on turns. The plans indicate the entrance from Broomley Road provides this. but the other end of the access, as it enters/exits the existing property, plan indicates the radius is 10 feet. This must be 25 feet. 2) Emeregncy appartus access requires no greater than a 16 % grade (16% or above, appartus bottoms out). The current plan complies with this with grades in the submittal ranging from 7.5% to 13% along the route of teh proposed entrance. Any plan modifications and the "as -built" conditions need to keep this in mind.
