Comments from other reviewers:
Albemarle County Architectural Review Board —Margaret Maliszewski, mmaliszewski@albemarle.org —Requested
changes, see attached.
Albemarle County Building Inspections — Betty Slough, bslou hg &albemarle.org - Requested Changes, see below.
1. Add the following note to the general notes page:
All water, sewer and fire lines require NEW inspection and testing procedures. The ACSA performs any testing and
inspections of the public sewer and water main(s).
The Albemarle County Building Inspections Department (ACBID) does a visual inspection and witnesses the testing of
the building drain, water service pipe and the sprinkler lead-in connection.
The developer/contractor is responsible to retain a Special Inspector as outlined in the updated Albemarle County Policy
for Site Utilities to perform the visual inspection and testing of all utilities
not covered by the ACSA or ACBID. This includes building sewers, water and fire line branches between the main and
the meter(s)/building(s).
The Special Inspector's report must be submitted and approved by the Albemarle County Engineering Department prior
to a Certificate of Occupancy being issued.
Albemarle County Engineering Services —Matthew Wentland, mwentland@albemarle.org — No objection.
1. As the disturbance (outside of mill & overlay) is below 10,000sf, no VSMP plan is required. However, Engineering
recommends best practices be followed for erosion control during construction.
Albemarle County Fire Rescue— Howard Lagomarsino — hlaeomarsino@albemarle.org —Requested changes, see below.
1. Please provide a note on the plan indicating the ISO calculated needed fire flow for the building
2. Provide a note on the plan for the available fire flow at the hydrants(s) serving the structure
3. Hydrants are needed that provide the required fire flow and are spaced as required based on the needed fire flow
calculation
4. If a fire sprinkler system is installed, a hydrant needs to be located within 100 feet of the FDC for the system and
arranged so that when in use, it does not obstruct the travel way.
Albemarle County Service Authority — Richard Nelson, melsonkserviceauthority.org — Requested changes, see below.
1. Provide proposed fixture counts to confirm existing meter is adequately sized.
2. Show ACSA utilities on the landscape plan. Any trees should have a minimum 10-feet of separation from ACSA
