Hi Ana,
It's nearing approval. I expect it to be ready for signatures within the next 2 weeks. There is no site re -design necessary
at this point, they are just waiting on getting their new easements recorded and then updating the site plan with the
deed book and page number of the recorded plat.

Hello all,
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I followed up with everyone after our 3:00 meeting and I think I got some
good answers. Thank you all again for helping us through the tail end of this process. I hope that we can satisfy
everyone's final requirements. We have some of you meeting us at 5th St Landing starting around 9:00 AM Monday
morning. We should have Diggs meeting with Joel and I believe the trail contractor will be out there as well. Please be
aware that we'll have paving going on and the Holiday Inn has sensitivities to life.
Randy is working this weekend to have the amended easement prepared for Cameron. This should be the final piece of
his puzzle to get the minor amendment approved. I have included a markup of the site plan outlining which areas are
being held up and what items will be in progress. I've color coded the sections for reference.
The main hold up is the orange area that consists of the bike lane, curbing and sidewalk. This is the section that is being
held up by the shop drawings for a VDOT approved D-Box (not going to pretend to have this structure figured out
completely in my head). Joel and Diggs will be meeting on site regarding this Monday morning. Hopefully, I can better
address the timeline of the other items after this meeting. Per Diggs, construction on the taper lane (green) will
commence this week.
In talking to Joel about their approval for vehicular safety, it was his thought that we are at a "punch list" stage once the
entrance (purple) is complete (feel free to correct me if I misstate this). The bike lane (orange), taper lane (green), and
curbing would not be items that would hold up his approval for CO. Hopefully we are far enough through with the taper
lane in the next couple weeks and the northbound improvements are all that remains. The right turn in/right turn out
and entry paving (purple) are all that is required in order to open the site. Joel, I'd be happy to walk through additional
items that you need to see complete while we are on site.
The contractor for the internal trail (blue) will hopefully begin Tuesday/Wednesday and wrap up at the end of this
week/beginning of next. Asphalt should complete at the end of this week and striping will happen at the start of next
week. The path (red) connecting the sidewalk to the internal path will be the absolute last thing to be complete in that
portion of the site work. Keith, Ashley, and I will be walking the site to check the boxes one more time for things they'd
like to see in regards to phasing and safety.
Please let me know if we can work through bonding on the remaining items or if anyone has any items left for their list
so we can address them ASAP. I should be able to have close valuations on work remaining after the 9:00
meetings. Again, I want to thank all of you for your help with this process.

We'd like to discus the status of road improvements for 51" Street Commercial and the attached email.
Does VDOT have the latest set of plans that seem to be referenced below? The final site plan that was approved
showed the 5`h Street improvements. The minor (SDP201900045) under review with Cameron as the lead doesn't show
changes.
The big item that is still up in the air is the 5th St bike lane, sidewalk and taper lane adjustment. Due
to a substantial number of utilities (some in places not originally thought), involvement of multiple
agencies (VDOT, ACSA, Albemarle County, City of Charlottesville, Dominion etc), and a significant
reconfiguration, this item has kicked back and forth for some time without resolution. It now seems like
we have a solution that will work for everyone, however, the solution (an offset D box) has a 3-week
lead time for manufacture (once it receives final approval) and then still needs to be coordinated for
install and completion. This could push us out another couple months, which will be unacceptable for
Starbucks.

Hi team,
Here's some info:
Bike lanes were shown on the approved final site plan. The file is too large to send the whole thing, so I
extracted two drawings where you can see it (attached). It's hard to see on sheet 3, but it's clearer in the
exhibits on Sheet 13.
Proffer 5a: yes, that's the buffer. With their minor amendment that's currently under review (SDP201900045), I
had commented telling them that all of the buffer landscaping needed to be installed as part of phase 1. See my
attached comment letter, comment #15. 1 was erring on the side of caution and just made a judgement call that
they would need it all installed at the beginning as part of phase 1. Based on my comment letter, it looks like
they revised the minor amendment so that all the buffer landscaping was proposed in phase 1. As I mentioned
to Keith earlier, that minor has not been approved. They haven't resubmitted since my comments went out in
January.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi Cameron,

Keith and I were reviewing the proffers for 5`h Street Station and I have a few questions I thought you might be able to
help with. We can schedule a meeting with you on Teams if that's easier.
I couldn't find in the site plan set where any bike lanes were shown to satisfy proffer 7:

For proffer 5a, did we consider everything in yellow on the landscape plan to be the required buffer area? The proffer
says it shall be shown on the site plan and installed as part of any construction shown on the site plan. I think it may be
OK to phase. I saw notes on the site plan that the primitive trail and greenway trail will be done with Phase I which we
will require prior to CO and not bond. I didn't see where we specified anything for the buffer and think it is OK to phase.

Cameron,
Are you aware of these issues described in the attached email? Should this be an update to the site plan you have under
review. I'd like to coordinate a meeting that includes all the necessary people from VDOT. Adam and Willis? Should we
include Frank?
Rebecca
The big item that is still up in the air is the 5th St bike lane, sidewalk and taper lane adjustment. Due to
a substantial number of utilities (some in places not originally thought), involvement of multiple
agencies (VDOT, ACSA, Albemarle County, City of Charlottesville, Dominion etc), and a significant
reconfiguration, this item has kicked back and forth for some time without resolution. It now seems like
we have a solution that will work for everyone, however, the solution (an offset D box) has a 3-week
lead time for manufacture (once it receives final approval) and then still needs to be coordinated for
install and completion. This could push us out another couple months, which will be unacceptable for
Starbucks.

Hi team,
Here's some info:
• Bike lanes were shown on the approved final site plan. The file is too large to send the whole thing, so I
extracted two drawings where you can see it (attached). It's hard to see on sheet 3, but its clearer in the
exhibits on Sheet 13.
Proffer 5a: yes, that's the buffer. With their minor amendment that's currently under review (SDP201900045), I
had commented telling them that all of the buffer landscaping needed to be installed as part of phase 1. See my
attached comment letter, comment #15. 1 was erring on the side of caution and just made a judgement call that
they would need it all installed at the beginning as part of phase 1. Based on my comment letter, it looks like
they revised the minor amendment so that all the buffer landscaping was proposed in phase 1. As I mentioned
to Keith earlier, that minor has not been approved. They haven't resubmitted since my comments went out in
January.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi Cameron,
Keith and I were reviewing the proffers for 5' Street Station and I have a few questions I thought you might be able to
help with. We can schedule a meeting with you on Teams if that's easier.

For proffer 5a, did we consider everything in yellow on the landscape plan to be the required buffer area? The proffer
says it shall be shown on the site plan and installed as part of any construction shown on the site plan. I think it may be
OK to phase. I saw notes on the site plan that the primitive trail and greenway trail will be done with Phase I which we
will require prior to CO and not bond. I didn't see where we specified anything for the buffer and think it is OK to phase.

Hi Cameron,
Keith and I were reviewing the proffers for 5th Street Station and I have a few questions I thought you might be able to
help with. We can schedule a meeting with you on Teams if that's easier.
I couldn't find in the site plan set where any bike lanes were shown to satisfy proffer 7:
7. the (Tamer shall provide fix bicycle aeons to the Property by inclusion of bicycle lanes in
its improvements to the fnmtage of Si° St. nse bicycle Imes shall be shown on the first final site plan
and installed by the Omner in conjunction with the improvements shown on the first final site plan
approved for development of the Property.
For proffer 5a, did we consider everything in yellow on the landscape plan to be the required buffer area? The proffer
says it shall be shown on the site plan and installed as part of any construction shown on the site plan. I think it may be
OK to phase. I saw notes on the site plan that the primitive trail and greenway trail will be done with Phase I which we
will require prior to CO and not bond. I didn't see where we specified anything for the buffer and think it is OK to phase.

Probably not; if there is sidewalk like that along both sides of the travelway leading to wherever the new lot line begins,
then no waives are needed. Again, it's hard to answer without knowing where the new lot line is, but as long as there is
sidewalk along both sides of the travelway all the way to the new lot, then that section of the Ordinance has been met.

Here is a sketch showing sidewalk and planters back to the new lot. There is a 45' length of sidewalk next to the drive

Will this need a waiver?

Hi Tim,
Private streets serving non-residential uses/lots can be approved administratively by staff. That said, the actual physical
improvements within the private street ROW will need to meet the standards specified in the Subdivision
0
Ordinance. One thing that concerns me with the 51h Street Commercial site is that there are not sidewalks and planting
strips along both sides of the entire travel way length as currently designed leading back to where buildings #2 and #3
are located. Unless sidewalks and planting strips get installed along both sides of the proposed private street ROW all
the way back to the new parcel, waiver request would need to be filed, which would still require approval by the
Planning Commission.
Let me know if you have any follow-up questions. Thanks,

Hi Randy,
You're almost to the finish line with the first building, congratulations! Below are my answers to your questions:
Selling off a piece and doing mini -storage: there are some hurdles you would have to go through in order to do a
different use and building layout on your property than what you've been approved for already. The Zoning Map
Amendment (ZMA201200007) had a proffered concept plan tied to it, and development of your site will be held to that
plan unless you go through another rezoning and amend the concept plan. And since rezonings have to go through the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as public hearings, there is no guarantee that it will end up being
approved.
41
Parking requirements for self -storage facilities: the Zoning Ordinance does not specify a standard for this use. What you
would have to do is file a request with the Zoning Administrator to determine what the parking requirements are. You
would provide him with an analysis of what you think you need, and then he'd evaluate it and either approve it or say
that a different calculation is needed.
Retaining % acre for constructing a small building: this is another element that we would need to see drawn up on
plans. It would also require an amendment to the ZMA concept plan. I can't verify whether we would support or not
support a change to the layout without seeing it.
One more consideration, and this is a big one, to keep in mind if you are actually thinking about changing this site, is that
it is in the Entrance Corridor. This means the mini -storage building and all new buildings would have to go back through
the ARB for review. Most mini -storage developers already have a specific building design in mind and often times the EC
guidelines conflict with the more standardized corporate design of national mini -storage companies.
Let me know if you have any follow-up questions. Thanks,
Cameron

Good afternoon Cameron,
I'can't begin to tell you how much fun I've had obtaining approval on the final site plan for my 5th St property;
which was followed by a minor amendment to that site plan. When my friends tell me that I have aged 20
years over the last 8 years, I remind them that those are not age wrinkles, but rather laugh wrinkles turned
upside down!!!
Not having learned my lesson, I am actually thinking of doing ANOTHER amendment - for my back parcel!!!
have received 5 offers from groups wishing to buy some of my land to construct a multi - level controlled
storage facility. One offer involves a 3 story 120,000 sq ft facility to be located on 1.1 acres.
Couple questions for you: (1) conceptually, would the county entertain such a large facility on one of the back
parcels; (2) what are the parking requirements for a storage facility (I could not locate them in the Code); and
(3) if I retained approx 3/4 of an acre, would the County entertain my constructing a small building on that
remaining parcel?
I realize there are a number of issues that would need to be addressed, but before I start spending money
(again) I'd like to know if the County would be willing to entertain such a development; and if so, what the
parking limitations would be.
Thanks, Randy

Subject: RE: Another question 5th St back Parcel
Hi Tim,
Private streets serving non-residential uses/lots can be approved administratively by staff. That said, the actual physical
improvements within the private street ROW will need to meet the standards specified in the Subdivision
Ordinance. One thing that concerns me with the 51h Street Commercial site is that there are not sidewalks and planting
strips along both sides of the entire travel way length as currently designed leading back to where buildings #2 and #3
are located. Unless sidewalks and planting strips get installed along both sides of the proposed private street ROW all
the way back to the new parcel, waiver request would need to be filed, which would still require approval by the
Planning Commission.
Let me know if you have any follow-up questions. Thanks,
Cameron

Subject: RE: Another question 5th St back Parcel
Hi Randy,
You're almost to the finish line with the first building, congratulations! Below are my answers to your questions:
Selling off a piece and doing mini -storage: there are some hurdles you would have to go through in order to do a
different use and building layout on your property than what you've been approved for already. The Zoning Map
Amendment (ZMA201200007) had a proffered concept plan tied to it, and development of your site will be held to that
plan unless you go through another rezoning and amend the concept plan. And since rezonings have to go through the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as public hearings, there is no guarantee that it will end up being
approved.
Parking requirements for self -storage facilities: the Zoning Ordinance does not specify a standard for this use. What you
would have to do is file a request with the Zoning Administrator to determine what the parking requirements are. You
would provide him with an analysis of what you think you need, and then he'd evaluate it and either approve it or say
that a different calculation is needed.
Retaining % acre for constructing a small building: this is another element that we would need to see drawn up on
plans. It would also require an amendment to the ZMA concept plan. I can't verify whether we would support or not
support a change to the layout without seeing it.
One more consideration, and this is a big one, to keep in mind if you are actually thinking about changing this site, is that
it is in the Entrance Corridor. This means the mini -storage building and all new buildings would have to go back through
the ARB for review. Most mini -storage developers already have a specific building design in mind and often times the EC
guidelines conflict with the more standardized corporate design of national mini -storage companies.
Let me know if you have any follow-up questions. Thanks,
Cameron

Good afternoon Cameron,
I'can't begin to tell you how much fun I've had obtaining approval on the final site plan for my 5th St property;
which was followed by a minor amendment to that site plan. When my friends tell me that I have aged 20
years over the last 8 years, I remind them that those are not age wrinkles, but rather laugh wrinkles turned
upside down!1!
Not having learned my lesson, I am actually thinking of doing ANOTHER amendment - for my back parcel!!!
have received 5 offers from groups wishing to buy some of my land to construct a multi - level controlled
storage facility. One offer involves a 3 story 120,000 sq ft facility to be located on 1.1 acres.
54
Couple questions for you: (1) conceptually, would the county entertain such a large facility on one of the back
parcels; (2) what are the parking requirements for a storage facility (I could not locate them in the Code); and
(3) if I retained approx 3/4 of an acre, would the County entertain my constructing a small building on that
remaining parcel?
I realize there are a number of issues that would need to be addressed, but before I start spending money
(again) I'd like to know if the County would be willing to entertain such a development; and if so, what the
parking limitations would be.
Thanks, Randy

Gentlemen,
Sorry for the delay, I am back in action. Unfortunately, 1:1 slope would warrant a wall.
64
New idea - would CG 3 (without gutter pan) create enough space to achieve at least a 1V1.5H slope? The bike lane
would need to go back to 5' wide. The guardrail pad can be sloped at 1:12 max from the top of curb then 2% ADA
sidewalk. Does that have a chance at 1:1.5 rip rap? Typically, a gutter pan would be required but I believe this would
constitute a special instance.
Thanks and happy new year!

1:1 is probably too steep for rip rap. The north set of elevations on .pdf seem different than our field assessment

Subject: Re: 5th st
I'd love to discuss this topic more with you in person. In short, when dealing with existing conditions, it's almost
impossible to capture everything on 2D paper. Our responsibility during construction is to ensure everything built
within the public ROW is per VDOT Contract Documents - Standards, Specifications, Road Design Manual, Drainage
Manual, Structures Manual, Code of Virginia, VTMs etc. Everyone has a role in this and unfortunately there will
always be field issues discovered during lay out or construction that must be addressed. Here is the plan note
that's always included;
The big issue for your development is roadway drainage vs. the site plan modifications. The second issue is the
importance of guardrail construction and safety standards that aren't always detailed sufficiently on the
plans. You are permitted to build to your approved plan (which was deemed unconstructable and in the
amendment process). However, we've identified these issues that may make it difficult to build and
stabilize your plan in a way that we can be comfortable releasing the permit. Our comments thus far have
been an effort to head off these problems you may encounter. Additionally the retaining wall would still
need to be approved by our structure and bridge department considering its placement over an
inventoried structure governed by federal inspection guidelines. This is not handled during plan review,
most frequently, because the engineer at the time does not have enough specificity regarding the wall
design. Structure shop drawings are always required for retaining walls supporting critical roadway features. The
shop drawings contain additional details necessary but depend on the VDOT pre approved structure selected by
the Contractors Geotechnical engineer.
Let's meet again next year to discuss further. Happy holidays!

Good morning Joel,
Around 3:00 this morning, I was thinking about my site and our ongoing discussions about changes to
5th st sidewalks, drainage and retaining wall. While I realize removal of the retaining wall should save
considerable money; and the installation of a box culvert and extending the curbing should be more
than an offset in cost savings... but I do have a procedural question.
My site plan was approved almost two years ago. VDOT and the county signed off on the approved
plans. Now were are talking about significant changes. This is my question... since the plan has been
approved, under what authority can VDOT (or the County) impose changes?
Again, I am NOT opposed to looking into these changes; in fact I have asked Tim Miller's office to
investigate. Frankly, even as a layman, your suggested changes make sense. (Rather ironic that none of
the engineers originally involved in the review process did not appreciate the issues you and Brook
Wood raised.)
Take care, Randy

The contractor is asking about the pavement depths for the Bike Lane. I assume it should match the existing pavement

Gentlemen,
Sorry for the delay, I am back in action. Unfortunately, 1:1 slope would warrant a wall.
New idea - would CG 3 (without gutter pan) create enough space to achieve at least a 1V1.5H slope? The bike lane
would need to go back to 5' wide. The guardrail pad can be sloped at 1:12 max from the top of curb then 2% ADA
sidewalk. Does that have a chance at 1:1.5 rip rap? Typically, a gutter pan would be required but I believe this would
constitute a special instance.

I'd love to discuss this topic more with you in person. In short, when dealing with existing conditions, it's almost
impossible to capture everything on 2D paper. Our responsibility during construction is to ensure everything built
within the public ROW is per VDOT Contract Documents - Standards, Specifications, Road Design Manual, Drainage
Manual, Structures Manual, Code of Virginia, VTMs etc. Everyone has a role in this and unfortunately there will
always be field issues discovered during lay out or construction that must be addressed. Here is the plan note
that's always included;
The big issue for your development is roadway drainage vs. the site plan modifications. The second issue is the
importance of guardrail construction and safety standards that aren't always detailed sufficiently on the
plans. You are permitted to build to your approved plan (which was deemed unconstructable and in the
amendment process). However, we've identified these issues that may make it difficult to build and
stabilize your plan in a way that we can be comfortable releasing the permit. Our comments thus far have
been an effort to head off these problems you may encounter. Additionally the retaining wall would still
need to be approved by our structure and bridge department considering its placement over an
inventoried structure governed by federal inspection guidelines. This is not handled during plan review,
most frequently, because the engineer at the time does not have enough specificity regarding the wall
design. Structure shop drawings are always required for retaining walls supporting critical roadway features. The
shop drawings contain additional details necessary but depend on the VDOT pre approved structure selected by
the Contractors Geotechnical engineer.
Let's meet again next year to discuss further. Happy holidays!

Subject: RE: Another question 5th St back Parcel
Hi Randy,
You're almost to the finish line with the first building, congratulations! Below are my answers to your questions:
Selling off a piece and doing mini -storage: there are some hurdles you would have to go through in order to do a
different use and building layout on your property than what you've been approved for already. The Zoning Map
Amendment (ZMA201200007) had a proffered concept plan tied to it, and development of your site will be held to that
plan unless you go through another rezoning and amend the concept plan. And since rezonings have to go through the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors as public hearings, there is no guarantee that it will end up being
approved.
Parking requirements for self -storage facilities: the Zoning Ordinance does not specify a standard for this use. What you
would have to do is file a request with the Zoning Administrator to determine what the parking requirements are. You
would provide him with an analysis of what you think you need, and then he'd evaluate it and either approve it or say
that a different calculation is needed.
Retaining % acre for constructing a small building: this is another element that we would need to see drawn up on
plans. It would also require an amendment to the ZMA concept plan. I can't verify whether we would support or not
support a change to the layout without seeing it.
One more consideration, and this is a big one, to keep in mind if you are actually thinking about changing this site, is that
it is in the Entrance Corridor. This means the mini -storage building and all new buildings would have to go back through
the ARB for review. Most mini -storage developers already have a specific building design in mind and often times the EC
guidelines conflict with the more standardized corporate design of national mini -storage companies.
Let me know if you have any follow-up questions. Thanks,
Cameron

Good afternoon Cameron,
I'can't begin to tell you how much fun I've had obtaining approval on the final site plan for my 5th St property;
which was followed by a minor amendment to that site plan. When my friends tell me that I have aged 20
92
years over the last 8 years, I remind them that those are not age wrinkles, but rather laugh wrinkles turned
upside down!II
Not having learned my lesson, I am actually thinking of doing ANOTHER amendment - for my back parcel!!! I
have received 5 offers from groups wishing to buy some of my land to construct a multi - level controlled
storage facility. One offer involves a 3 story 120,000 sq ft facility to be located on 1.1 acres.
Couple questions for you: (1) conceptually, would the county entertain such a large facility on one of the back
parcels; (2) what are the parking requirements for a storage facility (I could not locate them in the Code); and
(3) if I retained approx 3/4 of an acre, would the County entertain my constructing a small building on that
remaining parcel?
I realize there are a number of issues that would need to be addressed, but before I start spending money
(again) I'd like to know if the County would be willing to entertain such a development; and if so, what the
parking limitations would be.
Thanks, Randy

Hello, Randy.
I've done a little searching and here's what I found. You can use this link to access the ARB-approved documents for
ARB-2019-127, including the updated lighting. I entered an approval date of 12/18/2019 for that ARB application in
CountyView. I sent an email (copied below) that day indicating that the revisions resolved the outstanding ARB issues,
and that I would attempt to get the ARB approval letter out. Though I have a distinct memory of preparing and sending
that letter, I cannot find a record of it. I have just written an approval letter and it is attached to this message (paper
copies in the mail). I'm very sorry for the delay and any confusion I've caused. If questions remain, please let me know.
Thanks.

Good afternoon Margaret,
Either I am getting too old to operate a computer, or Microsoft has it out for me (or, possibly a little of both).
When Tim Miller submitted a minor amendment to my site plan, we had to change the light poles. As I recall,
the manufacturer we wanted to use did not produce fixtures with the correct lumens. As a consequence, we
needed to change the design and manufacturer of the light poles (all of this happened in November and
December of 2019).
I have found an e-mail from you where you approved the new design; I see where you said a letter from ARB
would be forthcoming; and I have e-mail correspondence from Tim Miller where he is sending me the specs on
the new lights .... but nothing is attached. And I'll be damned if I can find your letter or the specs.
I really hate to bother you, but could you send me any information you have on the light poles that were
approved by ARB? I know the information is on my computer somewhere, but Microsoft has hidden it where
I can't find it (I really dislike Office 365). I'd also appreciate a cop of the approval letter from ARB. Not sure if
that went to me or Tim.
Thank you so much for your help.
Randy

Subject: Another question 5th St back Parcel
CAUTION: This message originated outside the County of Albemarle email system. DO NOT CLICK on links or open
attachments unless you are sure the content is safe.
Good afternoon Cameron,
I'can't begin to tell you how much fun I've had obtaining approval on the final site plan for my 5th St property;
which was followed by a minor amendment to that site plan. When my friends tell me that I have aged 20
years over the last 8 years, I remind them that those are not age wrinkles, but rather laugh wrinkles turned
upside down!!!
Not having learned my lesson, I am actually thinking of doing ANOTHER amendment - for my back parcel!!!
have received 5 offers from groups wishing to buy some of my land to construct a multi - level controlled
storage facility. One offer involves a 3 story 120,000 sq ft facility to be located on 1.1 acres.
Couple questions for you: (1) conceptually, would the county entertain such a large facility on one of the back
parcels; (2) what are the parking requirements for a storage facility (I could not locate them in the Code); and
(3) if I retained approx 3/4 of an acre, would the County entertain my constructing a small building on that
remaining parcel?
I realize there are a number of issues that would need to be addressed, but before I start spending money
(again) I'd like to know if the County would be willing to entertain such a development; and if so, what the
parking limitations would be.
Thanks, Randy

Cameron,
These plans address VDOT comments.
I submitted one set for VDOT and One set for you.
If you have one set, then the other must have done to VDOT.
If you have two sets, then one of them should go to VDOT.

The poles are not really the issue — it is the fixtures. The approved plan shows one set of lights, the proposed revision

Margaret, I apologize for not getting back to you. Been fighting the IRS on behalf of a nonprofit... these
government officials are hell bent on going after the wrong people!
Sorry to act so uninformed - especially on my own project. But the changes in the poles... were different poles
submitted with the site plan amendment (by Meridian Group), or are specs on the poles (which I received
from my contractor and forwarded to you) different than what was approved? Trying to figure out where the
differences occurred.
I sent Tim Miller an e-mail (as I would like for him to attend). Was Friday afternoon still a possibility for
you? If so, what time. I will make it work on my end; but depends on what Tim's schedule is.
thanks Randy

1. Parking lot pole light fixtures differ from those previously approved. Parking lot pole lights must have a consistent
appearance throughout the development. If lighting changes are proposed in this minor amendment, lighting on the
entire site must be addressed with this amendment. If Phase 2 lighting changes can't be shown on this plan, include
notes on this plan indicating that with this amendment all Phase 2 lighting is eliminated. When you submit your Phase 2
amendment, you can add lighting back that matches Phase 1 approved lighting.
2. Revise the quantity and spacing of the large trees along 5th Street to 35' on center all along the frontage.

Margaret, These were the fixtures submitted with the original approved site plan. I know you had several
comments concerning the resubmitted site plan amendment, but I thought those comments related to the
126
lumens and not the color or style of the hardware. Our plans were to use these fixtures as originally
approved, and not a change submitted as part of the amendment. (Hope that make sense).

Hi Adam,
Thanks for sending this over to us. The owner had mentioned some of this to me but your email paints a fuller
picture. From Planning's standpoint, the most important thing is ensuring that the sidewalk is still kept over the bridge
as originally shown. Addition of curb and gutter and removal of the retaining wall should not be a problem as long as
VDOT and the County Engineer approve of doing so.

Cameron/Frank,
We have had discussions in the field with the contractor and developer of the above site about
making modifications to their plans inside the right of way. I know the plan is not yet approved.
The owner seems in agreement that along the road the curb and gutter should be extended and a
drainage inlet installed to address an area that is a frequent washout/erosion issue. Additionally they
would like to potentially remove the retaining wall. This would lead to slopes that are a bit steeper
than we generally like, but paired with a handrail would still be safe for pedestrians.
VDOT concurs with these changes. If the wall remains, approval from our Structure and Bridge
section will be required as it would be located over an existing box culvert. Additionally the wall will
have to be under a maintenance permit with the county. We are not trying to eliminate the sidewalk,
think the curb actually helps the condition of the proposed sidewalk.
The developer mentioned that you all may have some issue with these changes, so I'd like to open
that discussion.

RE: 5th st commercial
Randy,
After hearing what the VDOT field inspector said, I think that this is a questions that Adam Moore (VDOT rep who
reviewed the first site plan) and the County Engineer need to weigh in on. I really don't handle too much when it comes
to retaining walls, or culverts and I wouldn't be the one to make a determination as to whether it's needed or not or can
be removed. I am going to be in a training all day on Wednesday so I'm sorry to say I can't make the site visit.
To answer your second question — removing the retaining wall, changing curb & gutter, and anything related to the
culverts are both VDOT and County issues. Changes to those features would need to be approved by both VDOT and the
County on a site plan.
Let me know if this information helps clear tings up or if you have other questions.

You are correct, that is not what I wanted to heart! I But is hasn't been the first time and I suspect it won't be the last!
Met with Joel Kauppila (VDOT) on site yesterday. He isn't excited about the retaining wall over Moore's creek. In fact he
would prefer to have that removed from the plan. However (and there is always a "however"), he is concerned about
the sheet flow of water over the sidewalk. He suggested that we look at extending the curb and installing a box culvert
near the primitive walkway with underground piping and rip rap under the primitive pathway. (I apologize if my
description of Joel's comments are inadequate ).
As I understand it, removal of the retaining wall is a VDOT issue and changing the curb and adding a box culvert is a
County issue.
My biggest concerns (besides the additional expenses) are the excessive delays in obtaining County approval for such a
proposed change.
What are your thoughts on this?
Feel free to call me if you want to discuss. Use my cell: 434-882-2355.

Hi Randy,
Based on my recollection, yes we did discuss this during the first review. The ZMA approved for the property shows the
sidewalk going all the way to the municipal boundary. What was approved on Scott's plan is consistent with the ZMA
requirements. Scott's plan shows the sidewalk going over the bridge and ending at the culvert wing wall as shown on
Sheet 13 of the Collins Plan.
Based on the exhibit shown on Sheet 13 of Scott's plan, the guardrail isn't going to be an issue for pedestrians to access
the sidewalk. Part of the guardrail is getting removed near the entrance to your site. Closer to the bridge, the road
pavement will be widened to accommodate the sidewalk and other improvements. When the site in the city gets
developed the guardrail will likely be either totally removed or altered in a way so that new sidewalk connecting to the
sidewalk will be accessible with no impediments. This is how sidewalk networks get constructed piecemeal in all
localities.
I know this may not be what you wanted to hear, but that's a required improvement. Please let me know if you have
follow-up questions. Thanks,
Cameron

Good morning Cameron,
I met with VDOT representatives on my site this morning, and am somewhat perplexed. Their working plans show the
new sidewalk being extended to the City line. My recollection is that we agreed to stop the sidewalk where the primitive
walkway on 5th ended.
Problems with extending the sidewalk... 1. The proposed sidewalk will be located behind the guard rail. Anyone on the
sidewalk heading north will have to crawl over the guardrail in order to exit the sidewalk. An extensive retaining wall
will have to be constructed over Moore's creek to support the sidewalk... which will be inaccessible.
Again my recollection is that the county agreed to modify the length of the sidewalk extension. And I suspect that Scott
collins forgot your remove it from the final site plan .
133
Appreciate your help.

I met with VDOT representatives on my site this morning, and am somewhat perplexed. Their working plans show the
new sidewalk being extended to the City line. My recollection is that we agreed to stop the sidewalk where the primitive
walkway on 5th ended.
Problems with extending the sidewalk... 1. The proposed sidewalk will be located behind the guard rail. Anyone on the
sidewalk heading north will have to crawl over the guardrail in order to exit the sidewalk. An extensive retaining wall
will have to be constructed over Moore's creek to support the sidewalk... which will be inaccessible.
Again my recollection is that the county agreed to modify the length of the sidewalk extension. And I suspect that Scott
collins forgot your remove it from the final site plan .
Appreciate your help.
Randy

RE: 5th st commercial
Hi Randy,
Based on my recollection, yes we did discuss this during the first review. The ZMA approved for the property shows the
sidewalk going all the way to the municipal boundary. What was approved on Scott's plan is consistent with the ZMA
requirements. Scott's plan shows the sidewalk going over the bridge and ending at the culvert wing wall as shown on
Sheet 13 of the Collins Plan.
Based on the exhibit shown on Sheet 13 of Scott's plan, the guardrail isn't going to be an issue for pedestrians to access
the sidewalk. Part of the guardrail is getting removed near the entrance to your site. Closer to the bridge, the road
pavement will be widened to accommodate the sidewalk and other improvements. When the site in the city gets
developed the guardrail will likely be either totally removed or altered in a way so that new sidewalk connecting to the
sidewalk will be accessible with no impediments. This is how sidewalk networks get constructed piecemeal in all
localities.
I know this may not be what you wanted to hear, but that's a required improvement. Please let me know if you have
follow-up questions. Thanks,
Cameron

Margaret, I apologize for not getting back to you. Been fighting the IRS on behalf of a nonprofit... these
government officials are hell bent on going after the wrong people!
Sorry to act so uninformed - especially on my own project. But the changes in the poles... were different poles
submitted with the site plan amendment (by Meridian Group), or are specs on the poles (which I received
from my contractor and forwarded to you) different than what was approved? Trying to figure out where the
differences occurred.
I sent Tim Miller an e-mail (as I would like for him to attend). Was Friday afternoon still a possibility for

1. Parking lot pole light fixtures differ from those previously approved. Parking lot pole lights must have a consistent
appearance throughout the development. If lighting changes are proposed in this minor amendment, lighting on the
entire site must be addressed with this amendment. If Phase 2 lighting changes can't be shown on this plan, include
notes on this plan indicating that with this amendment all Phase 2 lighting is eliminated. When you submit your Phase 2
amendment, you can add lighting back that matches Phase 1 approved lighting.
2. Revise the quantity and spacing of the large trees along 5th Street to 35' on center all along the frontage.

Margaret, These were the fixtures submitted with the original approved site plan. I know you had several
comments concerning the resubmitted site plan amendment, but I thought those comments related to the
lumens and not the color or style of the hardware. Our plans were to use these fixtures as originally

Hi Tim & Randy,
I expect to have the comments out to you by the end of the week. I am still working on my review but the other
reviewers have finished. I've attached their comments.
By the way, did you send a copy of the revised plan over to ACSA when you sent these copies to County staff?

Hi Tim & Randy,
I expect to have the comments out to you by the end of the week. I am still working on my review but the other
reviewers have finished. I've attached their comments.
By the way, did you send a copy of the revised plan over to ACSA when you sent these copies to County staff?

1. Submit an ARB application for a Countywide Certificate of Appropriateness for a minor amendment. Submit a revised plan
addressing the comments below.
2. Parking lot pole light fixtures differ from those previously approved. Parking lot pole lights must have a consistent appearance
throughout the development. If lighting changes are proposed in this minor amendment, lighting on the entire site must be
addressed with this amendment. If Phase 2 lighting changes can't be shown on this plan, include notes on this plan indicating that
with this amendment all Phase 2 lighting is eliminated. When you submit your Phase 2 amendment, you can add lighting back
that matches Phase I approved lighting.
3. The photometric plan shows maximum light levels exceeding 20 footcandles. 20 footcandles is the maximum approvable to meet
EC guidelines. Revise the plan accordingly.
4. Revise the quantity and spacing of the large trees along 5th Street to 35' on center all along the frontage.
5. Inconsistencies remain between the plant schedule and the plan in the quantities of Allee Elm and Eastern Red Cedar.
6. Revise the landscape plan to include the 4 serviceberry trees along the south perimeter of the site that were approved with the
previous plan.
7. Identify light pole/fixture color on the lighting plan. Bronze, dark brown or black are recommended and approvable.
8. Include a note on the lighting plan that maximum light pole height is 20', including any base that may be proposed.

Yeah, it's definitely Meridian and I think Tim Miller is doing the plans. Tim was who represented the owner at the
preapp we had about this site plan amendment. Tim did the subdivision and easement plats that were part of the
original site plan, so he's at least familiar with the site.

I haven't done my review, but I just opened the plans and it is not Collins? It is meridian? I have to really check this
layout and compare with the WPO to see if they need any revisions to that.

Submit an ARB application for a Countywide Certificate of Appropriateness for a minor amendment. Submit a revised
plan addressing these comments:
1. The lighting plan shows a number of revisions not included in the description on the site plan cover sheet. Parking
lot pole light fixtures differ from those previously approved. Parking lot pole lights must have a consistent
appearance throughout the development. If lighting changes are proposed in this minor amendment, lighting on
the entire site must be addressed with this amendment.
2. Footcandle levels on the photometric plan are spread too far apart to determine consistency with the ordinance
and guidelines. Revise the photometric plan to provide light levels all along the property line along 51 Street.
3. The photometric plan shows a maximum light level of 29.7 footcandles. 20 footcandles is the maximum
approvable to meet EC guidelines. Please revise the plan accordingly.
4. Include the standard lighting note on the lighting plan: Each outdoor lummaire equipped with a lamp that emits
3, 000 or more initial lumens shall he a full cutoff lumtnaire and shall he arranged or shielded to reflect light
away from adjoining residential districts and away from adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires
onto public roads andproperty in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one-half footcandle.
5. Light pole locations shown on the lighting plan differ somewhat from those shown on the site, grading and utility
plans. Please revise for consistency throughout.
6. Revise the quantity and spacing of the large trees along 51 Street to 35' on center all along the frontage.
7. The landscape plan is difficult to read. Many plant symbols are too light to read when shown under pipes, etc. In
the plant schedule, the smallest symbols are too small to clearly distinguish them from each other. Revise
accordingly.
8. There appear to be inconsistencies between the plant schedule and the plan in the quantities of some plants. Please
check the Red Maple, Willow Oak, Allee Elm, and Eastern Red Cedar.
9. Show on the landscape plan a boundary between the Phase 1 and Phase 2 Nellie Stevens/Little Gem planting that
corresponds to the Phase 1 and Phase 2 quantities in the plant schedule.
