RE: SDP2021-00017 Virginia Asphalt Services - Minor Amendment- 1stSubmittal Rev
Dear Kevin,
Please accept for review and approval the attached revised site plan amendment plans which
address the County's review comments. This letter is intended to accompany the revised plans and
serve as written response to the comment letter dated April 15, 2021.
Planning (Kevin McCollum)
1. [32.5.2 (a)] According to Albemarle County GIS the property is located within the Airport
Impact Area, Flood Hazard, and Steep Slopes - Managed and Preserved Overlay Districts.
Please add these to the Zoning information on the Cover Sheet.
Response: Information added to Sheet 1.
2. [32.2.2 (1), 4.12] The parking schedule indicates that 10 parking spaces will be provided
for 10 employees. SDP201700067 shows two parking spaces adjacent to the existing
building. This Minor amendment depicts one of these spaces being converted to a
dumpster pad. Is the second space still available? If so, please add a label that clearly
shows that space as an available parking space.
Response: Since the remaining space in question is adequately sized for parking, it has labeled
as a parking space and counted in the parking calculations now.
3. [32.5.2 (d)] Please correct the callouts to identify the slopes as Steep Slopes - Preserved and
Steep Slopes - Managedinstead of "Critical Slopes."
Response: Plan callouts revised.
4. [32.6.2 (k)] SDP201700067 provides some lighting information, but this plan does not. Are
any new lights proposed?If so, a lighting plan will need to be provided, see comment 7 below.
Response: No new lighting is proposed. The existing site lighting was approved with the original
SDP2017-67 application.
5. [32.7.9(d)] Please provide the street tree calculation requirement on the landscaping Plan
to ensure the appropriatenumber of street trees are provided.
Response: Street tree calculation added to Sheet 4. The street tree requirement was met at the
time of the SDP2015-40 application by planting Scarlet Oak trees along the Avon Street
Extended frontage. There are currently 9 Scarlet Oaks along this street frontage which exceeds
the requirement.
6. [32.7.4.1] Prior to approval of the minor amendment, a Water Protection Ordinance (WPO)
application must be submitted, reviewed, and approved by the Engineering Division. See
Engineering comments for further information.
Response: WPO application to be submitted separately in early May 2021.

spillover shall be measured horizontally andvertically at the property line or edge of right-

credits will need to be purchased for the additional impervious areas. The proposed, revised
storm outfall is an adequate channel adjacentto a small river so no quantity attenuation is
anticipated.
