Subject: SDP202000062— DS Tavern— Minor Amendment dated 08-18-20
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department Community
Development will recommend approval of the plan referred 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.]
Planning (Tori Kanellopoulos)
1 18-4.1(b) and 18-32.7.5.1(c) Water supplies and sewer systems: Health Department
approval for the proposed development is required.
2. 18-4.2 Critical slopes.
a. Label all 'steep slopes' as 'critical steep slopes'.
b. Critical slopes must be shown and labeled on all plan sheets.
c. 18-4.2.3(b)Any proposed grading must be shown. Any disturbance of critical
slopes requires a special exception and Board of Supervisors approval.
3. 18-21.7 and 18-4.20 Commercial districts—buffer requirement The site plan shows
parking approximately 12 feet from the adjacent property, TMP 59-16A, which is zoned
Rural Area. 18-21.7 requires a 20-foot undisturbed buffer for commercial uses adjacent
tor residential and rural uses. The parking on preapplication plan SDP201900076
appeared to meet this requirement, however the parking shown on this site plan does
not appear to. Either the parking must be revised to be at least 20 feet from the property,
or a special exception must be requested. A special exception requires approval from
the Board of Supervisors.
Use buffer adjacent to residential and rural areas districts. For the purpose of this
subsection, a use buffer shall not be required when a commercial zone is across a street
from a residential or rural area district. No construction activity including grading or
clearing of vegetation shall occur closer than 20 feet to any residential or rural areas
district. Screening shall be provided as required in section 32.7.9
4. 18-4.20 Setbacks. Remove the 50' side yard setback on the plan sheets on the east side
adjacent to TMP 59-15A1 —this parcel is zoned C-1 and therefore the 50' setback does
not apply. This setback does apply to the west side adjacent to TMP 59-16A, as shown
on the site plan.
5 18-4.12.13 Loading space. The ordinance requires one loading space for office uses
under 8,000 square feet: 18-4 12.13(c): Loading spaces shall be provided in addition to
and exclusive of any parking requirement on the basis of: (2) one space for the first
8,000 square feet of office space plus one space for each additional 20,000 square
feet of office space. This requirement may be waived per 18-4.12.13(f). Provide a
loading space meeting the dimension requirements of 18-4.12.18 or provide a
justification as to why a loading space is not needed.

RE: DS Tavern
SDP2020-62
Ms. Kanellopoulos:
As requested, I've reviewed the Amended Site Plan (8/18/20) for the proposed
construction referenced above. It does not appear the proposed construction will impact
the existing septic tank or drainfield.
I also would like to reiterate that there should be an assessment of the septic system by a
professional engineer or other licensed consultant to ensure the system has adequate
capacity for the proposed use of 4 full time employees land meetings of 30 persons.
If there are any questions or concerns,please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
Sincerely,
