RE: SDP0221000888, North Garden Fire Department — Major Site Plan Amendment
Dear Ben,
We have received your comments dated 12/17/2021 and have provided the following
responses:
Please reach out to me if any new comments are generated or any are not properly addressed
as contractor availability and budgeting are contingent on not having another review cycle.
Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) — Ben Holt

Response: The disturbed area has been provided on the cover sheet.
2. Provide additional information on the sewer for determination of a central system [Chapter

served once it is tied in to the existing sewer?
Response: The existing VPDES permitted treatment system Crossroad Village Center has one
connection. The fire department is adding one connection to the existing VPDES permitted
treatment system Crossroad Village Center. The total number of connections will be 2.

1. Please confirm there are no impacts to the right-of-way as a result of this work.
Response: The 2x2" sanitary force lateral through the ROW will be bored. The plans
call out for overhead utilities to be buried in the ROW. These utility extensions will
require their own permits at time of construction but do not require a permit for site
plan approval.

2/3/2022
Virginia Department of Health — Alan Mazurowski
1. It does not appear the location of the proposed construction will interfere with the existing septic
system. However, if the addition will result in expanded water use — increased number of personnel,
dinners, banquets, etc. that are not already held —we will need a capacity assessment of the existing
system provided by a wastewater engineer before we can recommend approval of the site plan
Response: It is not anticipated that there will be an expanded water use on the
property.
Fire/Rescue — Howard Lagomarsino
1. Please add a note to the plan with the ISO calculated needed fire flow for the building.
Response: The note has been added to the utility sheet.
2. Please add a note on the plan as to the nearest water source available to support for
suppression operations.
Response: The note has been added to the utility sheet.
CDD Inspections — Betty Slough
Replace Note 9 under Plan on page 2 with this:
1. 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).
Response: This project is outside ACSA jurisdiction. Note not added.
2. 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.
Response: The note has been added to the utility sheet.
3. 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)..
Response: The note has been added to the utility sheet.

CDD ARB — Khris Taggart
1. An ARB Countywide Certificate of Appropriateness application is required for
review. In Part B of the ARB application form
https://www.albemarle.org/Home/ShowDocument?id=956 ), that would be a
Countywide Certificate of Appropriateness for "Additions to ARB-approved
buildings." Here is a link
(https://www.albemarle.org/Home/ShowDocument?id=966 ) to the submittal
requirements for that type of application.
Response: A certificate of appropriateness application has been provided with this
submittal online. Samples have been dropped off at CDD c/o Khris Taggart.
We thank you for reviewing the Preliminary Site Plan. If you have any questions or concerns,
please reach out as necessary.
Best Regards,
