Ward, Jr., PE Central Virginia Electric Cooperative PO Box 247 Lovingston VA 22949 RE: SP202100015 Midway -Martin's Store 115kV Transmission Line Dear Mr. Ward, Scott Clark sclark@al bemarle.or¢ tel: 434-296-5832 ext. 3249 fax:434-972-4126 Thank you for the recent submittal for this special use permit application. Please find review comments for the application included in this letter. Review Comments Engineering (Frank Pohl) Show the limits of the 100-yr floodplain on all sheets, where applicable. New poles are allowed "by - right" to be located within the floodplain overlay district [18-30.3.11], however, a Floodplain Development Permit is required if any are located within the district. If the Structure Mat Pads are located with the floodplain, please provide pad dimensions and a detail/section of the pad, including existing and proposed grade and pad elevations. Please provide the total land disturbance area, including areas to be cleared and the disturbance related to installing the Structure Mat Pads. Please provide a detail of the Structure Mat Pads, including dimensions at each location. A VSMP permit is required prior to the start of land disturbing activities if the cumulative land disturbance area exceeds 10,000 sf [Chapter 17, Albemarle County Code]. Show the stream buffer on all sheets, where applicable [17-600]. Planning (Scott Clark) • Please describe the "bridge matting' to be used on indicated stream crossings; does the matting span the streams that being crossed, or does it rest on the streambed and banks? (If the latter, staff may recommend a condition requiring alternative structures to span the streams, to avoid impacts to the streams.) o Indicate the potential impacts on streamside soil and vegetation; and list measures the measures that will be used to restore the bridge matting area after the matting is removed. • On Sheet 1, at pole location 2, there is a "clearing area' that appears to extend outside the existing right- of-way. Is new right-of-way required for this area, or is this only temporary clearing being done for construction -access purposes? • To clarify the relationship between this use and the recently -proposed solar facility for TMP 85-17B - on page 8 of the application narrative, response #3 says, "The Midway Solar Project will not interconnect to the CVEC 115kV transmission line." If this is the case, what will the solar project connect to? Is a new line planned, either along this existing corridor or otherwise?

(2) Request Indefinite Deferral If you plan to resubmit after 30 days from the date of the comment letter, you need to request an indefinite deferral. Please provide a written request and state your justification for requesting the deferral.

(3) Request Planning Commission Public Hearing Date be Set At this time, you may schedule a public hearing with the Planning Commission. However, we do not advise that you go directly to public hearing if staff has identified issues in need of resolution that can be addressed with a resubmittal. After outstanding issues have been resolved and/or when you are ready to request a public hearing, staff will set your public hearing date for the Planning Commission in accordance with the Planning Commission's published schedule and as mutually agreed by you and the County. The staff report and recommendation will be based on the latest information provided by you with your initial submittal or resubmittal. Please remember that all resubmittals must be made on or before a resubmittal date.

Your comment letter will contain the actual fees you need to pay. Payment for an additional newspaper advertisement is also required twenty-two (22) days prior to the Board of Supervisors public hearing. Please be advised that, once a public hearing has been advertised, only one deferral prior to the Planning Commission's public hearing will be allowed during the life of the application. The only exception to this rule will be extraordinary circumstances, such as a major change in the project proposal by the applicant or more issues identified by staff that have not previously been brought to the applicant's attention. As always, an applicant may request deferral at the Planning Commission meeting. (4) Withdraw Your Application If at any time you wish to withdraw your application, please provide your request in writing.

If none of these choices is made within 10 days, staff will schedule your application for a public hearing based on the information provided with your original submittal or the latest submittal staff received on a resubmittal date.
