The site plan notes that the 20 parking spaces in the small parking area at the rear of the property will be created for the benefit of TMP 61 W-02-2B. Please be aware that, per Sec. 4.12.4(a), County Code does not allow the number of proposed parking spaces to exceed the number of required spaces by more than 20 percent.

[32.7.9.5(d)] The Zoning Ordinance provides that one large street tree is required for every 50 feet of street frontage or one medium street tree for every 40 feet of street frontage along Greenbrier Drive and Seminole Trail. a.

The linear frontage is only the distance the property abuts Greenbrier. The full 352 If of the property is partially buffered by TMP 61W-02-2B. b. Unless required by the ARB, correct the calculations provided on the Planting Plan (Sheet CP-101) for Seminole Trail to correctly say one large tree per 501f instead of one per 351f. 5.

[CG-101] Maximum slope allowed is 2:1. Grading appears to exceed this in a few places. Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Contours are still measuring steeper than 2:1 slopes. Revise the grading or provide spot shots and label the distance between the spots to show the max grade is 2:1 over the slope. For example, this is 5ft of vertical change in less than 10 ft of _ c horizontal change: 6. [CG-101] Please check 2:1 and 3:1 labels. Slope appears to be steeper than 3:1 where it is labeled as 3:1. Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. For example, this should measure 15 ft to be 3:1: 4 :4 r 7. Ensure landscaping that can withstand steep slopes is specified for the slopes steeper than 3:1.Rev. 1: Please show ground cover or steep slope grass seed in this area: 45} 8. Ensure all proposed easements are shown. This includes a SWM facility easement around the SWM facility. This is separate from the public drainage easement around the outfall from the facility.

Albemarle County E911—Elise Kiewra, ekiewra@albemarle.org—No Objection (10/6/2021). Albemarle County Architectural Review Board — Margaret Maliszewski, mmaliszewski@albemarle.org — See recommendations below (12/l/2021). 1. Comment #4 from the November 16, 2021 ARB action letter required shrubs to be added between Greenbrier Rd. and the 8-space parking row. Creeping St. John's Wort was added, which is a ground cover — not a shrub. The intent of the comment was to provide plants that would have more visual impact from the streets than the ground covers that were shown in that area. Revise the plan to add shrubs between Greenbrier Rd. and the 8-space parking row. 2. Comment #5 required additional landscaping between the Greenbrier sidewalk and the new path connecting the sidewalk to the parking lot. Ground cover was added along the path above the monument sign, but no plants were added between the Greenbrier sidewalk and the new path. The intent was to provide plants with more visual impact than the ground cover to help compensate for the lack of trees. Revise accordingly. 3. Comment #6 required low level planting along the Rt. 29 and Greenbrier frontages. A row of mixed plants (coneflower and fountain grass) was added, but the plants won't have impact year-round. Revise the plant choices in this new row for increased year-round impact. Greenbrier Wawa ARB2021-110 resubmission was received on 12/10/2021 and will be reviewed accordingly. Comments will be forwarded to the Applicant upon completion. Virginia Department of Health — Alan Mazurowski, alan.mazurowskikvdh.vir iginia.gov — No objection (10/29/2021).
