(SP202100004) for Clifton Inn and Collina Farm. There were no review comments that needed to

Planning Comments
Since all reviewer comments have not been provided at this time, it is difficult to provide fully
updated Planning Comments. A number of the key issues summarized in the last review comment
letter have been addressed. Primary issues remaining:
1. Scale and Frequency of Events -See previous comment letter outlining concerns with
consistency with the Comp Plan and consistency with Section 5.1.61(2) (below).
Sec. 5.1.61 Historic restaurants, taverns, and inns.
In addition to the factors to be considered for a special use permit under section 33.8, each application for one or
more uses authorized under section 10.2.2(27)(a) shall conform to the following:
1. The use shall be consistent with the Rural Area goals listed in the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The location and scale of proposed structures and additions shall be complementary and proportionate
to the existing structures and/or site, and additions and new structures shall be clearly subordinate to
the historic structures on the site. In no event shall the proposed additions, new structures, or exterior
modifications to the historic structure adversely impact the historic character or significance of the
structure and/or site as determined by the director of planning or his/her designee.
3. In no event shall the proposed additions, new structures, or exterior modifications to the historic
structure result in de -listing of the structure and/or site from the National Register of Historic Places
and/or Virginia landmarks Register, as indicated in a determination by the Virginia Department of
Historic Resources.
4. The proposed additions, new structures, and exterior modifications to the historic structure shall
protect archaeological resources and preserve them in place. If such resources must be disturbed,
mitigation measures as determined by the director of planning or his/her designee shall be
undertaken.
2. Adequate Water Supply and Sewer Capacity -1 am still awaiting Health Department and
Natural Resource responses as they had review comments last review. Also, I have
additional questions posed to the Fire Marshal and ACSA based on review comments
received.
3. Trans portation-A new comment from VDOT has been provided regarding N. Miltion Roac
ROW dedication. Also, please see Transporation Planning comments below.
4. Noise- Awaiting Zoning comments.
5. Impacts to wooded areas, critical slopes, Rivanna River- Awaiting Natural Resource
comments.
6. Rivanna River Greenway- Please see the recommendations from Parks and Recreation
regarding tax map parcel 79-36.
Concept Plan comment and other clarifications needed:
1. Please address transportation comments on the concept plan or let me know if you
would like to set up a coordination meeting to discuss further.
2. The proposal potentially doubles the number of restaurant seats without increasing
indoor restaurant space (but allowing some patio dining). Confirm the maximum
allowable capacity for the existing restaurant.
3. The wastewater study references an 80-seat restaurant capacity and narrative
references 100. Please clarify.
Transportation Planning
The following comments have been provide by Dan Butch 9/8/21:
The referenced 2040 MPO Long Range Transportation Plan recommends widening
Richmond Road, US 250, from a 2 lane to 4 lane roadway with a shared use path from 1-64
exit 124 to Milton Rd intersection. The TJPDC's Regional Bike-Ped Plan identifies a shared
use path extending the MPO's referenced shared use path continuing to Glenmore Way
(Map 10.1.2 on page 91). The Village of Rivanna Master Plan recommends US 250 be a 4
lane rural section road from the US 250/1-64 Shadwell interchange to Route 729 (Milton
Road) and, possibly, Glenmore Way (or two lane rural section of road from Route 729
Milton Road or Glenmore Way eastward to Route 616 Black Cat Road). This road section
should include a median and a walking/bicycling path on the south side of US 250 (p.38).
Transportation planning requests additional dedication of right-of-way along Richmond
Road, US 250, within TMP 79-24B for the identified planning recommendations.
Fire/Rescue
The following comments have been received from Howard Lagomarsino:
No Objection to special use permit.
At future stages of this project, such as the site plan phase, keep in mind Fire Rescue
concerns will center on emergency vehicle access to buildings, the water source to address
fire emergencies and access to the water source. Below are examples of some notes,
requested changes and/or recommendations as examples of Fire Rescue comments in
other projects concerning emergency vehicle access and water supply (They are presented
as information to provide guidance on Fire Rescue concerns for all projects):
1. To accommodate emergency vehicle access, emergency vehicle access road(s)/route(s)
may be required
2. Emergency vehicle access road(s)/route(s) needs to provide access to all
buildings/structures to allow access of all sides of the ground level within 150 feet from the
emergency apparatus
3. An emergency vehicle access road/route needs to provide a suitable service to sustain the
weight of emergency apparatus weighing up to 80,000 lbs.
4. An emergency vehicle access road/route needs to provide an unobstructed travel way
width of 20 ft. if buildings/structures are under 30 feet tall and 26 ft. if over 30 feet tall
5. To ensure that parking does not obstruct the emergency apparatus travel way as described
above, no parking signs may be required in appropriate areas
6. Any dead-end longer than 150 ft requires an approved turn around for emergency
apparatus
7. Will need to provide a note of the required ISO fire calculation for the buildings
8. If within the ACSW service area, may need to indicate the latest ACSW flow test to ensure
adequate fire flow per calculation in comment # 6
9. If within the ACSW service area, may need to provide the required fire hydrants as
determined by calculations in # 6
10. If not within the ACSW service area, will need to provide a note identifying location of
closest water source providing the needed fire flow, suitable for emergency apparatus
operationsa and address potential access concerns to the water source (ex. a static water
source, such as a lake, with drafting location)
