Final Site Plan
1. [32.5.2(a)] The application number for this project is SDP2022-00020. Revise the cover sheet to
include this number.
Response: Application number for the parcel has been added to the cover sheet as requested
2. [32.5.2(a)] Include the appropriate legal instrument/deed book and page number for the subject
property under the owner information section on the cover sheet.
Response: Deed book and page number has been added to the cover sheet under owner
information as requested.
3. [18-32.7.9] Landscaping plan:
a. 23 IG are identified in the planting schedule. However, there appear to be only 21 labeled on the
landscaping plan. Where are the other two proposed to be located?
Response: Noted and revised. There are 21 IG's on the planting plan and this is reflected in
the schedule.
b. Provide the final site plan application number for the site plan that includes the existing vegetation
proposed to be used to satisfy the landscaping requirements.
Response: The final site plan number for the site plan that includes the existing vegetation
proposed to be used to satisfy the landscaping requirements has been added to sheet CP-101
as requested.
c. As several trees and shrubs are proposed to be removed, it would be helpful for staff analysis to
provide revised calculations.
Response: Noted and revised. See updated requirements chart.

d. Since existing vegetation is proposed to be used to meet landscaping requirements, include a
completed and signed copy of the Tree Conservation Checklist with the site plan. It can be included
on one of the landscaping plan sheets.
Response: Noted and revised. See CP-501.
Initial Site Plan
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. Comment partially addressed. There continues to be a note on the cover sheet
that states, "Steep Slopes: N/A." Remove this note. (It is located under the open space
percentage and above the flood zone note.)
Response: Note on the cover sheet has been updated as requested.
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. Comment partially addressed. Include the rear setback requirement in
the setbacks note. Similar to the side setback, it is in accordance with the building code.
Response: Rear setback requirement added to the cover sheet as requested.
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. Sufficient parking has not been provided on
the site. Provide proof of a shared parking agreement with neighboring property(ies) that will
accommodate the required amount of parking.
Response: Deed Book 2804 Page 178-266 details the Ingress, Egress and Parking agreements.
7. [32.5.2(b)] On the landscape plan, provide the maximum amount of paved parking and other
vehicular circulation areas. This item does not appear to have been included in the landscaping
plan. The "paved parking/vehicular circulation area within LOD" is blank. This area is likely
different from what is existing with the current building, as the drive -through lane adds more
circulation area than currently exists.
Response: Noted and revised. See updated requirements chart.
13. [32.5.2(n)] Existing and proposed improvements.
d. What is the feature between the brick screening wall and the dumpsters? Label this recycling
feature on the site layout sheet, as it doesn't appear to be labelled on the details sheet. (It
looks like it may already be labelled; however, the font for both this feature and on the
dumpsters is not legible.)
Response: Callout has been added to the site plan sheet as requested.

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. Landscaping plan has been provided. See above in section entitled "New
Comments — First Review of Chipotle HTC — Final Site Plan (SDP2022-00020)" for comments
related to this landscaping plan.
Response: Acknowledged. See this comment letter for how those comments are addressed.
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.
Provide the depth of the existing landscaping and the height of the existing screening wall for
staff to be able to confirm that the existing elements are sufficient to meet the requirements
for the new drive -through lane.
Response: Dimension has been added to sheet CS-101 to indicate the landscaped distance
from the existing screen wall to the road. Callout has been added to sheet CS-101 indicating
the existing screen wall is 17' tall.
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. This comment does not appear to have been addressed.
Response: Length of the drive -through lane beyond the drive -through window has been added
to the site plan as requested.
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. The 12-ft. travel lane does not appear to be the required width of
twelve feet at the location of the dumpster pad. It appears the corner of the dumpster
enclosure may intrude into the travel lane, reducing the width below twelve feet. Provide the
width of the lane at that point.
Response: Per discussion with Andy Reitelbach and Matt Wantland, the lane adjacent to the
drive thru lane is for dumpster access only. The bypass lane begins past the dumpster. See
sheet CS-101 for updated signage and striping that indicates the lane is for dumpster access
only.

the 12' minimum.

drive thru lane is for dumpster access only. The bypass lane begins past the dumpster. See
sheet CS-101 for updated signage and striping that indicates the lane is for dumpster access
only.

The Special Inspector's report must be submitted and approved by the Albemarle County Engineering
Department prior to a Certificate of Occupancy being issued.
Response: Note added to the general notes page as requested.
