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.] 1. [32.5.2(h), 32.5.71 Prior to final site plan approval and early or mass grading approval FEMA shall approve a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for the site. 2. [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. 3. [32.5.2(s)] VDH reviewed the 1993 permit drawings related to the drainfields associated with TMP 58A2-20A. VDH believes that the drainfield may be within the Route 250 right-of-way and may extend to the location of the proposed paved taper entrance. VDH recommends the actual location of the drainlines be identified on site and surveyed onto the site plan so any conflicts can be addressed prior to the plan's approval. They also recommend that if the drainlines are within the right of way, that a construction note be added to the plan stating that they will be protected from vehicle traffic during construction. A worse -case scenario would be a conflict between their location and that of the paved taper entrance, in which case one or the other would have to be adjusted or relocated ". (See attached January 21, 2021 email from Alan Mazurowski of VDH.) On the site plan provide the actual location of the drainlines so any conflicts can be addressed prior to the plan's approval. If the drainlines are within the right of way, provide a construction note on the plan stating that they will be protected from vehicle traffic during construction. A worse -case scenario would be a conflict between their location and that of the paved taper entrance, in which case one or the other would have to be adjusted or relocated. Prior to final site plan approval VDOT and VDH shall review and approve this aspect of the plan to ensure the conflict between the two will be adequately addressed. 4. [32.5.2(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. 5. [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.

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.

(See location in diagram). 8. [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). 9. [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).
