Home My WebLink AboutSDP202100065 Review Comments Final Site Plan and Comps. 2022-03-040 County of Albemarle Department of Community Development Memorandum To: Keane Rucker (keane@shimp-en ing eerieg com) From: Andy Reitelbach, Senior Planner Division: Planning Services Date: March 4, 2022 Subject: SDP2021-00065 — Albemarle Business Campus Block 1 — Final Site Plan; 31 Submittal The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department of Community Development will recommend approval of the plan referred to above when the following items have been satisfactorily addressed. (The following comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.] Remaining comments from SDP2020-00066 are listed first. New comments from the review of SDP2021-00065 follow. Comments from SDP2020-00066 — Albemarle Business Campus Initial Site Plan Action Letter: The original comments from the review and action letter for SDP2020-00066 are in gray font. Follow-up comments from the review of the final site plan, SDP2021-00065, are in bolded black font. Please address these follow-up comments as well. 1. [32.5.2(b)] Information regarding the proposed use. i. Provide more information on the amount of proposed greenspace and amenities. Also identify all the amenities that are being provided. 20% of the site must be greenspace, and 20% of the site must be amenities; however, these two elements can overlap in many, though not all, circumstances. It is not clear what is being counted as greenspace, what is being counted as amenity area, and what is counting toward both calculations. Provide more detailed calculations of these elements. Recreational facilities in accordance with 18-4.16 of the Zoning Ordinance are not provided in block 1, as required by note 1 on sheet 5 of the COD. Provide these required amenities and recreational facilities in block 1. If substitution of these facilities is desired, provide a substitution request with justification to Planning staff for review. Who will be maintaining the private greenspace and amenity areas? Some sort of agreement will be required. In accordance with the COD, provide a substitution request for the proposed amenities, since the recreational facilities as required by 18-4.16 do not appear to be proposed with this development. Sitting areas are identified as proposed amenities. However, no facilities for sitting (e.g., benches, picnic tables) are depicted or provided. A substitution request is still required, as the proposed recreational facilities are not what is identified in 18-4.16. Revise the substitution request to expand the table of recreational facilities to also include those facilities that are being provided instead of those required by the ordinance. Including what is provided versus what is required allows staff to accurately compare the amenities to ensure that what is being proposed is comparable to (or greater than) what 4.16 requires. 2. [32.5.2(i)] Streets, easements, and travelways. Identify on the site plan the proffered right-of-way dedication depicted in the "Single -Lane Roundabout Exhibit." With the vehicle trips per day generated by the proposed uses, as provided on the cover sheet of the site plan, proffer number 1 will need to be fulfilled with this block. In addition to the cash contribution, a plat will need to be prepared to dedicate the right-of-way at the intersection of 51 Street and Old Lynchburg Road. Show this round -about construction and dedication on this site plan as well. Based on the trip generation, the proffered right-of-way dedication must be done with this site plan. Easement plat is under review. Approval of easement plat is required prior to approval of final site plan. 3. [32.5.2(o)] Identify all areas proposed to be dedicated to public use, and identify the entity (VDOT, the County, etc.) to which those areas will be dedicated. The dedication will require a plat or plats. Dedication is required, as shown on the application plan. This dedication of land will be required to be shown on a plat. Easement plat is under review. Approval of easement plat is required prior to approval of final site plan. 4. [32.5.20); 32.5.2 (k)] Label all existing and proposed water, sewer, and storm drainage easements by type and include a size/width measurement. For existing easements, state the deed book and page of the recorded instrument. For proposed easements, an easement plat will need to be submitted, reviewed, approved, and recorded at the courthouse prior to approval of the final site plan being granted. Submit easement plats for review and approval prior to approval of the site plan. Easement plat is under review. Approval of easement plat is required prior to approval of final site plan. 5. [32.5.2 (1)] Label all existing and proposed utility easements by type and include a size/width measurement. For existing easements, state the deed book and page of the recorded instrument. For proposed easements, an easement plat will need to be submitted, reviewed, approved, and recorded at the courthouse prior to approval of the final site plan being granted. Submit easement plats for review and approval prior to approval of the site plan. Easement plat is under review. Approval of easement plat is required prior to approval of final site plan.
