First Review Comments — Kevin McCollum:
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

The above information has been added to the cover sheet under the site notes zoning
information.
This comment has been addressed.
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

The Critical slopes information has been removed from the cover sheet as requested.
