minor site plan amendment #1 to SDP198700083 in the title.
2. [32.5.2 (s)] Provide a detailed project narrative on Sheet CA-100 under the Project Data that explains all site changes
proposed with this minor amendment.
3. [General Comment] Please add the Site Review Committee (SRC) signature panel (attached) to the cover sheet.
4. [General Comment] Add a date of revision.
5. [32.5.2(a)] For any adjacent parcels visible on the drawings, please show the property lines and include a label stating
the owner's name, TMP number, zoning districts, and present uses. Show this information on Sheet CV-101 at
minimum.
6. [32.5.2 0)(k)(1), 32.6.2(g)] Show all existing and any proposed easements. Include the recorded instrument reference
for any existing easements shown on the plans. Any new easements required for water, sewer, drainage facilities, or any
proposed utilities will need to be reviewed, approved, and recorded prior to final site plan approval.
7. [32.6.2(i)] Ensure all parking spaces are identified and counted on the plans. Plan suggests there are 14 spaces provided,
but only 11 are clearly identified. The parking spaces in the northeast and southeast comer are not appropriately
delineated.
8. [General Comment] Final site plan must comply with all applicable requirements of Section 32.6, 32.7 and 32.8 of the
Zoning Ordinance prior to final approval.
9. [32.5.2 (a)] Provide a list of all recorded plats and deeds that apply to the property, including any new easement plats
that may be recorded prior to approval of this minor amendment. Include any recorded instrument references/ownership
information on Sheet CA-100.
10. [32.7.9.51 Provide additional landscaping along Route 250 as well as in the proposed planting islands. Provide street
trees and shrubs along 250. See ARB comments below for additional information.
a. [32.7.9.5(d)] Location and spacing of street trees. Street trees shall be planted with even spacing in a row
within the public street right-of-way or adjacent to the public street right-of-way if not permitted therein by
the Virginia Department of Transportation, and within the private street right-of-way. One large street tree
shall be required for every 50 feet of street frontage, or portion thereof, if 25 feet or more. Where permitted,
one medium shade tree shall be required for every 40 feet of road frontage, or portion thereof, if 20 feet or
more. If required street trees cannot be planted within the parking setback or within ten feet of the street
right-of-way due to sight distance, utility easements or other conflicting requirements, then the planting strip
shall be enlarged to accommodate the trees. If this requirement creates a hardship by causing the relocation
of required parking spaces, then the additional planting area may be counted toward the interior landscaping
requirement.
b. [32.7.9.5(e)] Shrubs alongpublic streets. When a parking area is located so that the parked cars will be visible
from an off -site street, the agent may require additional planting of low street shrubs between the street and
the parking area, subject to the following:
i. Minimum size ofshrubs. Shrubs shall be a minimum of 12 inches in height when planted.
ii. Spacing of shrubs. Shrubs shall be in a single row planted five feet on center.
iii. Alternatives. The agent may authorize different landscaping designed to minimize the visual impact
of the parking area.
11. [32.7.8 and 4.17] Provide footcandle measurements within the property and along all property lines. Use a light loss
factor of 1.0 to determine footcandles on site.

Comments will be forwarded upon receipt.
Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) — Richard Nelson, melson&serviceauthority.org — Review pending.
Comments will be forwarded upon receipt.
Albemarle County Architectural Review Board (ARB) — Khristopher Taggart, ktaeQartCc�r�,albemarle.org — Requested
changes, see below.
I have reviewed the above -referenced application for a county -wide Certificate of Appropriateness. Your proposal does not
meet all of the design criteria outlined by the Architectural Review Board for this type of Certificate. The following revisions
are requested:
1. Adding a planting area along the Rt. 250 frontage is recommended to achieve greater consistency with the EC
landscaping requirements.
2. To better screen the visibility of the proposed equipment from the EC, staff requires the following changes:
a. Revise the landscape plan to provide one tree in the planting island east of the building and one tree in the
planting island along the 5-space parking row near Riverbend Dr.
b. Revise the landscape plan to provide shrubs, 24" at time of planting, in the island near the entrance along
Rt. 250 and along the 6-space parking row south of the building.
3. Revise the site plan to provide details on the color of the vacuums and pay stations. Colors that are mute would be
appropriate. (The color that was approved for the Green Clean along Rt. 29 was gray (RAL 9006) for the pay
stations, pay station awnings, vacuum arch, and vacuum producer).
4. While signage is reviewed and approved by a separate submission, please note the following comment:
a. The signage shown on the north elevation (facing Rt. 250) is not integrated with the building's architecture.
Staff recommends revising the sign placement to below the soldier course at the top of the building.
