RE: Response Letter #1 for SP2021-00011 Field School of Charlottesville

letter contains responses to County comments dated July 2, 2021.Our responses are as follows:
1. Include the application file number that was given to this application, SP2021-00011, on the
concept plan and in the project narrative.

narrative.

buffer is located on this site.
RESPONSE: Comment received. This designation has been added to the narrative.
3. The project narrative references minor revisions to labels on the concept plan to reflect changes
resulting from the recordation of the BLA plat with the adjacent Malasek property. Identify in the
narrative what these changes are and which labels have been revised for staffs review.
It would also be helpful for staffs review (and the PC's) to have a red-line/cloud version of the
concept plan provided for easy identification of the changes.
RESPONSE: Comment received. A brief summary of changes has been added to the narrative.
The submission additionally includes a revision cloud PDF of the special use permit concept plan
and exhibits, which calls out changes that incorporate the BLA plat as well as SP2019-12
information.

they will likely all remain the same, except for the elimination of condition #9, as requested with

RESPONSE: Comment received. We will look out for staff communication finalizing conditions
for this special use permit prior to the Planning Commission public hearing.

site development stage if this special use permit is approved by the Board.
