Home My WebLink AboutSDP199400036 Executive Summary 1995-03-15 s. COUNTY OF ALBEMAkLE MEMORANDUM TO: Rick Huff- Deputy County Executive FROM: Jack M. Kelsey, PE- Chief of Engineering 4ti DATE: - 17 March 1995 RE: East Rivanna Fire Station; Site Plan Amendment&Final Subdivision Plat SDP 91-081 The request for the additional acreage,from the Glenmore proffer,was approved by the Board of Supervisors 17 November 1993. An amended site plan was submitted and reviewed by the County,but revisions have never been submitted,and approval has not been granted. In fact,there has been no action by the applicant on this site plan amendment in over five months. Therefore,we thought it was an appropriate time to give you an update. In a letter dated 8 December 1994,Yolanda Hipski notified the consultant that approval of the site plan amendment would not be granted until satisfactory completion of the revisions requested by Staff. For your reference I have attached this letter and Staffs memos. In January I contacted Steve Key to get a status report on the revisions. I was told that Mr. John Hood had been informed of the site plan comments,but that he had not made a decision as to whether or not he would proceed with the plan. I informed Steve that should Mr.Hood decide not to pursue plan approval,a request to withdraw the plan from review must be submitted. To date Steve Key has not been directed by John Hood to proceed with the revisions. In the meantime,Steve Key has been under contract with the County to provide the above referenced final subdivision plat. He has addressed all of the previous comments and he would like the subdivision plat approved,so that he may file for final payment. However,since the purpose of the subdivision plat is to create the parcel for the overflow parking area,final plat approval is contingent upon approval of the site plan amendment. When a plan has been inactive for approximately 6 months,Planning typically sends out a letter requesting the applicant's intent. Based on the past correspondence,this plan meets the criteria. I spoke with Yolanda and she assured me that she would put a high priority on providing the letter to the applicant. At this point Mr.Hood must decide between two alternatives: • If he intends to proceed with the site plan amendment,he must direct Steve Key to make the revisions. Upon satisfactory address of the comments,the site plan amendment and the subdivision plat will be approved and final payment will be made to Steve Key. • If he is not going to pursue plan approval,he must contact the Planning Department and formally withdraw his plan from review. We will then file the plat,suspend further work under the contract with Steve Key,and make final payment for the services rendered. We will continue to pursue closure on this matter and to keep you informed. Should you have any questions,please call or send me an e-mail message.

Fire Station Minor Site Plan Amendment SDP-91-081 The revisions to this site plan amendment have been reviewed by the Engineering Department.. Prior to granting final plan approval, the following items must be addressed: 1. The property "ties" linking Parcel "X" to Parcel 2 must be removed.. 2 . Extend the 20' drainage easement, over the existing stream, across Parcel 2 . 3 . Change the label "Proposed Parking Area" to "Proposed Overflow Parking Area" to be consistent with the function of the lot, as defined in Mr. Hood's letter dated 12 September 1994 . 4. The strip of parking spaces, in the southern most parking area, labelled "144' - 16 spaces (9x18) " needs to be changed to "153' - 17 spaces (9x18) " .. In note #9 "Parking", on the cover sheet, the number of parking spaces "97 spaces" thus changes to. "98 spaces" . 5 . Remove the shading, denoting the access easement to be vacated, from the triangular portion on Parcel 4 . Vacate only the easement on Parcel "X" . 6. Mr. John Hood provided information regarding the use of the parking area in a letter dated 12 September 1994. Based upon this information, we will not require the overflow parking areas to paved. However, the use of the existing parking areas exceeds 350 vehicle trips per week and they must be surface treated. The minimum surface treatment is 6" Vdot #21A basestone with prime & double seal surface treatment. This pavement specification, or an approved equivalent, and the limits must be clearly defined on the plan. Memo Re: East Rivanna Fire Station 12 October 1994 Page Two 7 . The plans and the drainage calculations need to be signed and sealed. 8 . Final approval is subject to Engineering Department approval of the final subdivision plat. 9 . Final approval is subject to Engineering Department approval of an Erosion & Sediment Control Plan. Should you or the applicant have any questions, please give me a call. JMK/ Copy:. Jo Higgins COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE t`, r.. _. ._. 1"I i_ i_ "gym 411k,'47 rIRC11y�' MEMORANDUM TO: Yolanda Hipski, Planner FROM: Jan Sprinkle, Zoning Assistan ;4) DATE: September 23 , 1994 RE: Re: East Rivanna Fire Station Minor Site Plan Amendment Our understanding from Engineering is that this parking area will possibly be shared with the county when the 27 acre site required by ZMA 90-19 is developed 'into either a park or school or some other desired public use. With that in mind, we may want to redesign the parking or reserve an easement so that the shared users (park, school, etc. ) will not be required to go through the fire station parking lot to use this area. Our comments remain the same regarding Z.O. Section 4 . 12 . 3 . 2 . Parking must be on the same parcel as the use unless modified by the PC.. It appears that the intent may be to add the 2 . 036 acres to TM 93a1 P2 . If so, approval of the exempt plat should be conditioned. Since the 50' r/w is being vacated, access to other areas of the 27 acre site will need to be negotiated at the time of dedication of that site if the r/w is not included in the 27 acres.
