AGENDA TITLE: SDP 2006 -61 Northtown Center
APPLICANT: First Gold Leaf Land Trust
PROPERTY OWNER(S): First Gold Leaf Land Trust
APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL: Construction of three buildings totaling 83,990 gross square foot for
retail development
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Community Service in Neighborhood 2.
REASON FOR PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW:
Typically final site plans are approved administratively. However, at the time of the Preliminary Site
Plan approval, the Planning Commission required that the final site plan return to the Planning
Commission for approval.
PLANNING AND ZONING HISTORY:
1980 — Comprehensive Rezoning — The zoning designation of the property was changed from B -1,
Business to its current designation of HC, Highway Commercial.
1988 — Application is made for a preliminary site plan to allow the construction of an automobile
dealership (SDP 88 -54 Medlin Lincoln Mercury). This application was deferred indefinitely at the
applicants request after the site review meeting.
1990 — Application is made for a gas station (SDP 90 -64 Heischman 29 North Mobile Station). This
application was withdrawn prior to any action to approve or deny the site plan.
1991 — Application was made for a special use permit and site plan to allow an automobile dealership
(SP 91 -57 First Gold Leaf Land Trust and SDP 91 -102 Carrsbrook Auto Preliminary Site Plan). At its
meeting on December 9, 1992 the Board of Supervisors denied the special use permit for outdoor
storage and display in the Entrance Corridor. The site plan was denied as a result of the denial of the
special use permit.
1994 — Application was made for an 111,464 square foot retail center (SDP 94 -006 Carrsbrook Retail
Center Preliminary Site Plan). This plan was approved by the Planning Commission on July 19, 1994.
This application included an approval for activity on critical slopes and other modifications. The
Planning Commission action was appealed to the Board of Supervisors. The Board reaffirmed the
Commission's action at its meeting on August 3, 1994. The applicant did not submit the necessary final
site plans as required by the Ordinance and the approval of the preliminary plan expired.
2000 — Application was made for a 151,785 square foot retail center (SDP 00 -81 North Town Center).
This application was withdrawn by the applicant prior to any action.
2000 — Application was made for a 130,184 square foot retail store (SDP 00 -119 Home Depot at North
Town Center Preliminary Site Plan). This application was denied by the Planning Commission at its
meeting on November 28, 2000. This denial included a denial of a modification for activity on critical
2
slopes and other modifications (reduction in number of loading spaces, buffer disturbance). The
Commission's action was appealed to the Board of Supervisors. The Board reaffirmed the Commissions
action at its meeting on February 7, 2001.
2005 (October 18, 2005) — Preliminary Site plan for 199,800 gross square foot retail development is
approved by the Planning Commission. A special use permit, SP 2004 -24, to allow a drive thru window
for a bank is subsequently approved by the Board of Supervisors.
DISCUSSION:
Staff review of this project has been limited to insuring that the submitted plans meets the requirements
for final site plan content, as required by Section 32.5.6 of the Zoning Ordinance and the conditions of
approval as set out in the Planning Commissions action of October 18, 2005. The conditions of
approval are included as Attachment C. Staff has reviewed each of the conditions of approval to
determine if they have been met. Below staff has included the conditions of approval with comment on
how each condition has been met. (Staff comments are in italics)
The critical slopes waiver for Northtown Center was approved based on the finding that the strict application of
the requirements of Section 4.2. would not forward the purposes of the chapter that otherwise serve the public
health, safety or welfare, or that alternatives proposed by the developer would satisfy those purposes at least to an
equivalent degree, subject to the following conditions:
1. In addition to all other erosion and sediment control measures that may be required by the Water
Protection Ordinance, the applicant shall provide erosion and sediment control measures to assure, to the
satisfaction of the Program Authority, that it is providing high levels of effectiveness in controlling
sediment during construction. These measures shall include, but not be limited to:
a. A construction schedule that minimizes the duration of disturbance (e.g., phasing of the erosion
and sediment control plan).
The final site plan is only proposing to develop one -half of the development at this time (called
phase I). Phase I is proposing to disturb 10 out of the total 14 acres of disturbance. The plan is
divided into three phases (phase A, B, and Q. Phase A of the erosion control plan proposes to
disturb all 10 acres
This condition has not been met. It has been partially addressed by leaving out 4 acres. There is
no limit to the time of disturbance, which is the essential issue.
b. Using high efficiency sediment basins designed to include the use of flocculants.
The applicant is open to, but has not committed to using flocculams. The applicant feels
that flocculants may not be appropriate for the site and soil condition. The applicant
proposes to contact a flocculant supplier prior to construction to discuss whether or not
flocculants are appropriate, but has not formally committed to using them.
The applicant has proposed to oversize traps and basins, but has not provided an
analysis of how oversized the facilities will be. Engineering has provided the following
analysis:
Engineering recommend increasing traps and basins by a minimum of 25% of additional wet
storage and 25% of additional dry storage. None of the facilities meet these criteria. It appears
that most of the facilities can be altered to meet these criteria. Several of the facilities provide
much more than 25% additional dry storage, but no additional wet storage. The applicant should
provide an in depth design and analysis in order to provide "high efficiency" sediment traps and
basins. Two of the traps do not meet State minimum standards in regards to wet storage depth or
freeboard requirements. Another option the applicant has to provide more efficient sediment
basins is to increase the drawdown time of the dry storage.
This condition has not been met. It has been partially addressed by adding some dry storage, but
not enough, and this is off -set by inadequate wet storage.
c. Matting exposed slopes as determined appropriate by the Program Authority.
The applicant has proposed "Flexterra Growth Medium, " or an approved equivalent to be
applied to all slopes within 4 days of reaching final grade.
This condition has been met on the condition that the spray -on application proposed in place of
matting be applied immediately upon reaching final grade to any slope of 3:1 or steeper, and
should the application be ineffective in the opinion of the county erosion control inspector,
matting shall be immediately applied.
d. The contractor shall have a Responsible Land Disturber ( "RLD "), on the site throughout the
period during which the site is under construction. The "RLD" shall maintain a daily erosion and
sediment control inspection log demonstrating that erosion and sediment control measures are
being closely monitored and deficiencies are being quickly repaired. The "RLD" shall assure that
all control measures are being maintained in optimal condition. The log shall be made available
for inspection by the Program Authority at any time during regular business hours.
The applicant has proposed to have a Responsible Land Disturber to maintain a daily ESC log to
be available to the Program Authority during regular business hours.
This condition has been met.
e. If determined to be necessary by the Program Authority, the surety required by Albemarle County
Code Section 17 -207 shall include an amount determined by the Program Authority to be
reasonably necessary to take corrective action to repair or restore downstream properties damaged
during construction by runoff or sediment.

storage and 25% of additional dry storage. None of the facilities meet these criteria. It appears
that most of the facilities can be altered to meet these criteria. Several of the facilities provide
much more than 25% additional dry storage, but no additional wet storage. The applicant should

matting shall be immediately applied.
d. The contractor shall have a Responsible Land Disturber ( "RLD "), on the site throughout the
period during which the site is under construction. The "RLD" shall maintain a daily erosion and
sediment control inspection log demonstrating that erosion and sediment control measures are
being closely monitored and deficiencies are being quickly repaired. The "RLD" shall assure that
all control measures are being maintained in optimal condition. The log shall be made available
for inspection by the Program Authority at any time during regular business hours.
The applicant has proposed to have a Responsible Land Disturber to maintain a daily ESC log to
be available to the Program Authority during regular business hours.
This condition has been met.
e. If determined to be necessary by the Program Authority, the surety required by Albemarle County
Code Section 17 -207 shall include an amount determined by the Program Authority to be
reasonably necessary to take corrective action to repair or restore downstream properties damaged
during construction by runoff or sediment.

An analysis performed by Engineering staff has determined that the channels downstream of the
site are currently inadequate. The proposed plans do not meet State Requirement Minimum
Standard 19 (adequate downstream channels). The applicant is willing, but has not committed to,
contributing to help repair the downstream channel. The applicant has not proposed any
downstream improvements or secured any easements downstream to provide adequate channels.
This is necessary. The amount is $303, 750 for the necessary improvements as listed in the
County's Northtown Center Adequate Channel Analysis of 4 Jan 2008. This bond must be posted
prior to the issuance of the erosion control permit. This condition has been met.
2. In addition to all other storm water management requirements that may be required by the Water
Protection Ordinance:
a. The stormwater management plan shall include additional measures determined by the Program
Authority to be necessary in order to capture, to the maximum extent practical, the runoff from the
site, both during and after construction.
The applicant has proposed 3 additional raingardens as pretreatment before draining to
the biofilter facilities. These three facilities comprise 4500 sq ft of additional treatment
and infiltration for the front portion of the site (buildings A & possibly B and nearby
parking areas /travelways). The applicant has not provided sizing calculations or
drainage area maps for the additional facilities, but it appears that between half to one
acre of impervious area (10 -20% of the proposed impervious area throughout this phase
of the project) is draining to a pretreatment facility. A better solution may be to spread
the pretreatment facilities throughout the entire site so that more than 10 -20% of
impervious areas drain to a pretreatment facility.
In addition, in order to meet state and federal permitting requirements, the applicant is
proposing to preserve a portion of the existing stream and associated wetlands. As a
result, there will be an additional three fourths of an acre of undeveloped area compared
to the original preliminary site plan. The original area was proposed to be stormwater
management facilities.
This condition has not been met. For capture during construction see item lb. For after
construction, more than 10 -20% of the site should be captured be pre- treatment. A figure of 80 -90%
would be acceptable.
b. The stormwater management plan shall include measures to prevent, to the fullest extent possible,
damaging conditions to downstream properties and receiving waterways from occurring as a result of
the development of the site, both during and after construction.
The applicant has proposed to drawdown the I year storm over a period of 24 hours, thus decreasing
the peak flow rate leaving the site.
This condition has not been met. Upon further investigation as documented in the County's
Northtown Center Adequate Channel Analysis of 4 Jan 2008, any development upstream will damage
further this already impaired downstream system. See also items lb and 2a.
c. In order to allow the Program Authority to develop appropriate measures to satisfy paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this condition, the applicant shall submit data demonstrating the peak flow of runoff from the
site and the peak flow of runoff coming onto the site. [Albemarle County Codes Sections 17 -31, 17-
314(D)]
County Engineering staff has provided an in depth analysis to the applicant of the peak flow of runoff
from the site, and the applicant has provided an analysis showing the peak flow leaving the site.
This condition has been met. The county's recommendations of appropriate measures are as
discussed in previous comments.
3. In the plan during construction the sequence of the storm water management addresses the switching over
of the stream flow, if any;
The applicant is switching over of stream flow in two locations: at the west (beginning of stream on
property) near Rte 29 where an existing culvert is draining to an existing MOT detention facility which
will be replaced, and to the east (stream at end ofproperty) where an existing inadequate culvert will be
replaced with a channel. The applicant proposes to pump the stream around these areas in order to work
in the dry.
This comment has been partially addressed. However, the proposed solution is a very complex 3 phase
plan with 36 construction sequence steps and 9 qualifying notes. Alternative methods should be
employed and the County cannot at this time grant approval of this condition. Therefore, this condition
has not been met.
4. In conjunction with the final site plan, sufficient landscaping and screening shall be provided to screen
adjacent residential properties from areas of disturbed critical slopes; and
Staff has met with the applicant and the abutting property owners. The proposed fencing and
landscaping have been agreed to by the abutting property owners. Staff opinion is that this
fencing will provide adequate screening and security. Additional, it will serve to stop windblown
trash from entering the residential property. Staff opinion is that this condition has been met.
5. All of the other conditions recommended by staff.
No other conditions have been recommended. This condition has been met.
The final site plan will be subject to all final site plan requirements (Zoning Ordinance Section 32.6), in addition
to the following conditions.
The Planning Department shall not accept submittal of the final site plan for signature until tentative
approvals for the following conditions have been obtained. The final site plan shall not be signed until
the following conditions are met:
1. Architectural Review Board issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness.
The ARB has granted staff administrative approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness. (Attachment
D). Staff opinion is that this is adequate action to allow the Planning Commission to conditional approve
the final site plan. The final site plan will not be signed until the Certificate of Appropriateness has been
issued.
2. Virginia Department of Transportation approval of entrance design, signal improvements, frontage
and turn lane improvements as well as any associated road plans and drainage plans.
All of VDOT's main concerns were addressed on Nov. 28`", 2007. This condition has been met
3. Albemarle County Service Authority approval including approval of the design of the relocated
sanitary sewer meeting ACSA standards with no portion located within storm water management
facilities.
The Albemarle County Service Authority has granted approval. This condition has been met.
4. Current Development Division approval of:
a. Minimum sight distances within parking areas /travelways.
This condition has been met.
b. Design/location of curbed islands in the parking lot.
This condition has been met.
c. Stormwater BMP plans and calculations.
The applicant does not yet have State or Federal Permits to work within streams. The
applicant has not met State Minimum Standard 19 (MS -19, adequate downstream channels).
Both these items are required prior to Water Protection Ordinance Application approval.
This condition has not been met for this phase of the project.
d. Stream Valley design which is acceptable to the Architectural Review Board. Based on the
plan reviewed by the Architectural Review Board at its meeting on October 3, 2005 and
included as Attachment A marked WDF, 10/09/2005.
This condition has been met.
e. Approval of revised parking calculations to account for any parking lost by condition d, to
include if necessary, a reduction in building space.
This condition has been met.
£ Retaining wall designs for any walls of 4 feet or greater.
This condtion has been met
g. Landscape plan, to include a conservation plan for all trees proposed to remain.
This condition has been met.
h. Lighting plan.
This condition has been met.
i. Subdivision plat combining the parcels into a single parcel or realignment of existing parcel
boundaries to result in lots meeting minimum requirements for building construction.
This condition has been met.
j. Necessary access, utility easements.
This condition has been met.
k. The 18' retaining wall on the northern side of the site cannot disturb the undisturbed buffer
for a footing or reinforcing grid. The plan must be revised as necessary, or provide
computations, details and construction methods to avoid disturbance of the buffer.
This condition has been met for this phase of the project.
1. Grading to the edge of the undisturbed wooded buffer on the sides of the site will likely cut
tree root systems, damaging and eventually killing trees. On final plans, the grading should
be moved back, or specific trees surveyed and marked on plans to ensure survivability of
trees within the undisturbed buffer.
This condition has been met.
5. Fire Marshall approval.
This condition has been met.
6. Building Official approval.
This condition has been met.
7. The final site plan shall be subject to Planning Commission review.
Under review by Planning Commission.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION:
Staff review has resulted in both favorable and unfavorable findings:
Favorable factors:
1. The plan has been revised to substantially improve the layout and has received a number of
approvals.
Unfavorable factors:
1. Not all conditions of the preliminary approval have been satisfied.
The applicant has not met all of the conditions of approval contained in the Planning Commissions
action letter. Therefore, staff cannot recommend approval at this time.
Should the Planning Commission choose to approve this application staff recommends the following
conditions:
RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS:
The Site Review Committee shall not sign the final site plan until the following conditions have been
met.

RE: SP 2004 -024 Northtown Center (Sign #8) and SDP 2004 -045 Northtown Center
Tax Map 45, Parcels 110, 110A, 111, 111A and 111B
Dear Mr. Miller:
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on October 18, 2005, unanimously approved SDP
2004 -045 and unanimously recommended approval of SP 2004 -024 to the Board of Supervisors. Additionally, the
Commission approved your motion for Modification of Section 4.2.3 to allow activity on critical slopes on SDP
2004 -024.
Regarding SP- 2004 -024 (drive through associated with the bank
The Commission unanimously recommended approval of SP 2004 -024 to the Board of Supervisors.
Please note that this approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. A by -pass lane, 16' minimum width shall be provided. Striping and lane widths must be shown on the
final plan.
Please be advised that the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors will review this petition and receive public
comment at their meeting on November 9, 2005. Any new or additional information regarding your application
must be submitted to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors at least seven days prior to your scheduled hearing
date.
Regarding request for modification of Section 4.2.3 to allow activity on critical slopes:
24
The critical slopes waiver for Northtown Center was approved based on the finding that the strict application of
the requirements of Section 4.2. would not forward the purposes of the chapter that otherwise serve the public
health, safety or welfare, or that alternatives proposed by the developer would satisfy those purposes at least to an
equivalent degree, subject to the following conditions:
4. In addition to all other erosion and sediment control measures that may be required by the Water
Protection Ordinance, the applicant shall provide erosion and sediment control measures to assure, to the
satisfaction of the Program Authority, that it is providing high levels of effectiveness in controlling
sediment during construction. These measures shall include, but not be limited to:
a. A construction schedule that minimizes the duration of disturbance (e.g., phasing of the erosion
and sediment control plan).
b. Using high efficiency sediment basins designed to include the use of flocculants.
c. Matting exposed slopes as determined appropriate by the Program Authority.
d. The contractor shall have a Responsible Land Disturber ( "RLD "), on the site throughout the
period during which the site is under construction. The "RLD" shall maintain a daily erosion and
sediment control inspection log demonstrating that erosion and sediment control measures are
being closely monitored and deficiencies are being quickly repaired. The "RLD" shall assure that
all control measures are being maintained in optimal condition. The log shall be made available
for inspection by the Program Authority at any time during regular business hours.
e. If determined to be necessary by the Program Authority, the surety required by Albemarle County
Code Section 17 -207 shall include an amount determined by the Program Authority to be
reasonably necessary to take corrective action to repair or restore downstream properties damaged
during construction by runoff or sediment.
5. In addition to all other storm water management requirements that may be required by the Water
Protection Ordinance:
6. The stormwater management plan shall include additional measures determined by the Program Authority
to be necessary in order to capture, to the maximum extent practical, the runoff from the site, both during
and after construction.
7. The stormwater management plan shall include measures to prevent, to the fullest extent possible,
damaging conditions to downstream properties and receiving waterways from occurring as a result of the
development of the site, both during and after construction.
8. In order to allow the Program Authority to develop appropriate measures to satisfy paragraphs (a) and (b)
of this condition, the applicant shall submit data demonstrating the peak flow of runoff from the site and
the peak flow of runoff coming onto the site. [Albemarle County Codes Sections 17 -31, 17- 314(D)]
9. In the plan during construction the sequence of the storm water management addresses the switching over
of the stream flow, if any;
10. In conjunction with the final site plan, sufficient landscaping and screening shall be provided to screen
adjacent residential properties from areas of disturbed critical slopes; and
11. All of the other conditions recommended by staff.
Re ag rding SDP - 2004 -045:
The Commission, by a 5:1 vote, approved SDP - 2004 -045 with the following conditions recommended in the staff
report; based on the other actions just taken and an additional condition that the final site plan come back for
Planning Commission review.
25
The approval of the preliminary site plan is valid for (1) one year in accordance with Zoning Ordinance Section
32.4.3.1. Therefore, the preliminary approval shall expire October 18, 2005. If the preliminary site plan
approval expires, a new application must be filed and processed.
Please address all of the requirements and conditions listed below and submit eight (8) tentative plan copies to the
Community Development Department. This letter must be submitted with the tentative plans, as a checklist, to
document that you have addressed all requirements or conditions, or the tentative plan will be denied.
The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and the BMP Stormwater Management Plan, with the associated
applications and fees, may also be submitted with the eight (8) tentative Plans. Failure to do so will result in a
separate application to be filed with the County at a later date.
After the initial tentative plan submittal, each department /agency will contact you to discuss any remaining
conditions. After all aforementioned department /agencies have granted a tentative approval, you may submit the
final mylars (2 sets), one blueprint copy, final site plan application, final site plan fee, and a copy of all written
tentative approvals to the Community Development Department for signature.
The final site plan will be subject to all final site plan requirements (Zoning Ordinance Section 32.6), in addition
to the following conditions.
The Planning Department shall not accept submittal of the final site plan for signature until tentative
approvals for the following conditions have been obtained. The final site plan shall not be signed until
the following conditions are met:
8. Architectural Review Board issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness.
9. Virginia Department of Transportation approval of entrance design, signal improvements, frontage
and turn lane improvements as well as any associated road plans and drainage plans.
10. Albemarle County Service Authority approval including approval of the design of the relocated
sanitary sewer meeting ACSA standards with no portion located within storm water management
facilities.
11. Current Development Division approval of:
a. Minimum sight distances within parking areas /travelways.
b. Design/location of curbed islands in the parking lot.
c. Stormwater BMP plans and calculations.
d. Stream Valley design which is acceptable to the Architectural Review Board. Based on the
plan reviewed by the Architectural Review Board at its meeting on October 3, 2005 and
included as Attachment A marked WDF, 10/09/2005.
e. Approval of revised parking calculations to account for any parking lost by condition d, to
include if necessary, a reduction in building space.
f. Retaining wall designs for any walls of 4 feet or greater.
g. Landscape plan, to include a conservation plan for all trees proposed to remain.
h. Lighting plan.
i. Subdivision plat combining the parcels into a single parcel or realignment of existing parcel
boundaries to result in lots meeting minimum requirements for building construction.
j. Necessary access, utility easements.
k. The 18' retaining wall on the northern side of the site cannot disturb the undisturbed buffer
for a footing or reinforcing grid. The plan must be revised as necessary, or provide
computations, details and construction methods to avoid disturbance of the buffer.
1. Grading to the edge of the undisturbed wooded buffer on the sides of the site will likely cut
tree root systems, damaging and eventually killing trees. On final plans, the grading should
be moved back, or specific trees surveyed and marked on plans to ensure survivability of
trees within the undisturbed buffer.
12. Fire Marshall approval.
13. Building Official approval.
7. The final site plan shall be subject to Planning Commission review.

RE: ARB- 2007 -10: Northtown Center (Phase 1): Preliminary Review of an Amendment to a Site
Development Plan Tax (Map 45, Parcels 110, 110A, 111, 111A and I I IB)
Dear Ms. Miller:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
March 5, 2007. The Board by a vote of 3:1 approved the Certificate of Appropriateness for ARB- 2007 -010,
Northtown Center (Phase 1), pending staff administrative approval of the following conditions:
1. Indicate on the site plan that the bridge facing material will be "cobble stone pattern" as approved with the
last submittal. Clarify the plan to show how the bridge face, the box culvert and the proposed grading
work together. The bridge wall shall be extended so that no guard rails are visible on either side.
2. Shift the LN and the ZS out of the waterline easement located north of Building B.
3. Include the limits of clearing and grading and the tree protection fencing notes on the grading plan and the
E &S plan. Revise the plan to show a tree line to remain that is coordinated with the limits of clearing and
grading in the vicinity of the central storm water facility. Provide an E &S plan for review.
4. Include the approved sign criteria on the architectural drawings. Choose specific shades of red, green and
white for the face colors and submit the color names, numbers and samples for review. Also submit the
information for the raceway color and revise the criteria on the drawings to indicate that trim caps and
returns will be bronze.
5. Provide for review a detail of the wood fence intended for above the retaining walls. Include the detail in
the site plan.
6. Recalculate the photometric plan using a maintenance factor of 1.0. Indicate in the luminaire schedule
that the fixtures and poles are proposed with a dark bronze finish.
7. All approvals apply only to phase 1. Other phases may be submitted for review at a later date.
8. The elevation of building H shall be revised to show consideration of the proportions of the white cornice
line as it relates to the red brick remainder of the building. This change can be reviewed by staff.
28
Please provide:
1. Two full sets of revised drawings addressing each of these conditions. Include updated ARB revision dates
on each drawing.
2. A memo including detailed responses indicating how each condition has been satisfied. If changes other
than those requested have been made, identify those changes in the memo also. Highlighting the changes
in the drawing with "clouding" or by other means will facilitate review and approval.
3. The attached "Revised Application Submittal" form. This form must be returned with your revisions to
ensure proper tracking and distribution.
When staffs review of this information indicates that all conditions of approval have been met, a Certificate of
Appropriateness may be issued.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
