Andy Reitelbach, mreitelbachta7.albemarle.orci — Required changes to be addressed prior to final site plan
approval:
1) [32.5.2(a)] Clarify what is being demolished on the existing conditions sheet.
2) [32.5.2(a)] The Planning/Zoning contact information on the cover sheet can be removed. Otherwise, revise
it with the Community Development Department at 434-296-5832.
3) [32.5.2(a)] Remove "development area" as an overlay district.
4) [32.5.2(a)] Remove the note on the cover sheet that steep slopes are N/A. There are managed steep
slopes on this property. Also add Steep Slopes — Managed to the list of applicable zoning overlay districts.
5) [32.5.2(a)] For the setbacks note on the cover sheet, identify that the front setback is a minimum, that there
is no maximum setback, and that the side and rear setbacks are separation in accordance with the building
code.
6) [32.5.2(b)] The number of parking spaces required by this development needs to be provided in the
parking schedule on the cover sheet. It does not appear that there is sufficient parking provided on the site
to accommodate the number required by the ordinance. If these additional parking spaces are provided
through a shared parking agreement, with neighboring properties, provide the deed book and page
numbers of the recorded agreement.
7) [32.5.2(b)] On the landscape plan, provide the maximum amount of paved parking and other vehicular
circulation areas.
8) [32.5.2(d)] There are managed steep slopes on this property. Identify the location(s) of those slopes on all
sheets of the plan.
9) [32.5.2(f)] Indicate on the cover sheet whether the site is located within a water supply watershed.
10) [32.5.2(i)] Identify the shared access easements on this property, as it appears travelways are shared with
the Target property to the north.
11) [32.5.20); 32.5.2(1)] Identify the existing and proposed stormwater management, drainage, and utility
easements.
12) [32.5.2(m)] Identify the location of the ingress and egress to the site and the distance to the nearest street
intersection centerline.
13) [32.5.2(n)] Existing and proposed improvements
(a) Where is the loading area proposed to be located?
(b) What are the stairs and ramp for on the east side of the building? It does not appear that
there is a door or entrance on that side of the building for that sidewalk to lead to.
(c) Provide a lighting plan with the final site plan that complies with section 4.17 of the zoning
ordinance.
(d) What is the feature between the brick screening wall and the dumpsters?
14) [32.5.2(p)] Provide a landscape plan with the final site plan that complies with section 32.7.9 of the zoning
ordinance.
15) [5.1.60] Supplementary Regulations for Drive -Through Windows.
i) 5.1.60(b). Identify the landscaping area between the drive -through lane and the public street (Route
29) and how it complies with section 32.7.9.5 of the zoning ordinance, with at least 10 feet in depth.
ii) 5.1.60(e). Provide the required planting strip of a minimum of five feet in width between the drive-
through lane and the sidewalks on the north, south, and east sides of the building. On the south
side, it appears the planting strip is only 4.4' wide — it needs to be extended to five feet in width. On
the east side, there does not appear to be the required planting strip between the drive -through lane
and the ramp/stairs. On the north side, there does not appear to be the required planting strip
between the proposed new drive -through lane and the existing sidewalk adjacent to the parking
spaces.
iii) 5.1.60(f). The required five-foot wide designated pedestrian travelway needs to be provided at all
locations where it is proposed that pedestrians would cross the drive -through lane. At a minimum, it
appears this element needs to be provided on the east side of the building where the stairs and
ramp are located. Also, why are the ramp and stairs on the opposite of the building from the parking
lot and sidewalk?
iv) 5.1.60(g). The drive -through lane must be at least 11 feet wide.
v) 5.1.60(i). Provide the distance to the nearest intersection of a private street or travelway that does
not contain parking.
vi) 5.1.600). Provide the length of the drive -through lane as measured from the center of the first
window or service point. It must be a minimum of 100 feet.
vii) 5.1.60(k). Provide the length of the drive -through lane beyond the drive -through window. It must be
at least 20 feet.
viii) 5.1.60(I). Provide the direction of travel of the drive -through lane and the adjacent 12-ft. wide travel
lane. They must be going in the same direction, or otherwise be separated by a planting strip.

Review # 1
Dear Mr. Reitelbach:
(804) 7862701
Fax: (804) 7862940
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as prepared by Kimley-Horn, dated 22 October
2021, and offers the following comments:
1. Where does the site stormwater drain too? If the stormwater drains to VDOT structures,
does the existing infrastructure have sufficient capacity to carry run-off for the 10-year
storm?
2. Please confirm there is no work within the right-of-way proposed for this project.
Please provide a digital copy in PDF format of the revised plan along with a comment response
letter. If further information is desired, please contact Doug McAvoy Jr. at (540) 718-6113.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process.

As requested, I've reviewed the Initial Site Plan, dated 10/22/21, for the proposed
construction. The proposed construction will be connected to public ACSA water and
sewer systems, and there are no existing septic systems or private water wells that will be
impacted by the development. Therefore, I have no concerns or objections to the site
plan.
If there are any questions or concerns, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
