Subject: SDP202100025 — Keswick Sewage Treatment Plant Final SDP199100097 — Minor Site Plan Amendment
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department Community Development will
recommend approval of the plan referred to above when the following items 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 to the Albemarle County
Code.]
First Review Comments:
1. [32.5.2 (a)] According to Albemarle County GIS the property is located within the Entrance Corridor and Flood
Hazard Overlay Districts. Please add these to the Zoning information on the cover sheet.
2. [32.5.2 (a)] Albemarle County GIS additionally shows the presence of Critical Slopes on the property. Since Critical
Slopes are not an Overlay District, we would recommend removing the statement regarding Critical Slopes altogether
from the Site Data information on the cover sheet.
3. [32.6.2 (k)] Is any additional lighting being proposed with this plan? If so, please see comment 5 and ARB comments
provided below.
4. [32.7.4.11 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.
5. [32.7.8 and 4.17] Please identify the proposed locations and types of any new outdoor lighting that will be installed as
part of this project. The minor amendment should demonstrate compliance with all applicable site lighting requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance. This may include a lighting/photometric plan that identifies footcandle measurements within
the property and along the property lines.
a. Provide a schedule of proposed outdoor luminaires that identifies the luminaire type, wattage, lumens, pole
heights (if applicable), LLF (use 1.0 for calculations), etc.
b. [4.17.4 (b)(1)] The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public roads and property in residential or rural
areas zoning districts shall not exceed one-half ('/z) foot candle. A spillover shall be measured horizontally and
vertically at the property line or edge of right-of-way or easement, whichever is closer to the light source.
c. [4.17.4 (b)(2)] All outdoor lighting, regardless of the amount of lumens, shall be arranged or shielded to reflect
light away from adjoining residential districts and away from adjacent roads.
d. [4.17.4 (a)] All outdoor luminaires emitting 3,000 lumens or greater shall be equipped with a full -cutoff fixture.
e. If no new outdoor lighting is proposed (this includes pole lights as well as wall -mounted lights on any
structures), then state this in the project narrative on Sheet C0.0.

Albemarle County Architectural Review Board —Margaret Maliszewski, mmaliszewski@albemarle.org —See
recommendations below (5/4/2021).
1. Provide in the site plan a cut sheet for the wall pack light fixture that shows it is a full cutoff fixture. Include a
diagram and/or note on the plan indicating that the level of illumination at the ground emitted by the fixture does
not exceed 20 fc and that the light color is in the range of 2000-3000K.
2. Confirm that no lighting other than the wall -pack on the electrical building is proposed.
3. Add the standard lighting note to the plan: Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000 or more
initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be arranged or shielded to reflect light away from adjoining
residential districts and away from adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public roads and
property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one half footcandle."
4. Add the standard plant health note to the plan. "All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall be allowed to reach, and
be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited. Shrubs and trees shall be pruned minimally and
only to support the overall health of the plant."
5. Show that grading will not impact trees to remain.
6. Include tree protection on the plan.
7. Consider alternating rather than grouping the holly and red cedar trees.
8. Consider an alternate finish for railings to minimize visibility and glare.

i. If no new connections beyond currently -served Keswick facilities or buildings will be
served with this W WTP improvement project, please state this.
ii. If new Keswick community connections are provided or new buildings served, please list
/identify buildings, facilities, etc.
iii. If expansion improvement increases W WTP capacity by a measurable amount, please
report increased W WTP treatment capacity, if equalization basin, electrical building, and

c. A statement describing the type of proposed central sewerage system (expansion) and explaining
the reasons the system or supply is needed.
i. Engineering requests brief narrative that addresses items listed at code Sec. 16-102.1-3.
