Corridors.
3. Revise the massing of Wegman's and Major Tenant A buildings to a scale that does not overpower
the natural setting.
4. Eliminate the visual effect of the loading/service /refuse areas from the Entrance Corridors.
5. Revise the interface between the site layout and the existing surrounding topography which is visible
from the Entrance Corridors to better transition between the proposed shopping terrace and the
existing grades, using a combination of planting, material, terracing, and other strategies to more
effectively correspond to the guidelines.
5
6. Revise the plan to show consistent and adequate planting area free of u ilities and easements along the
I64 side of the site, to a width sufficient to mitigate visual impact from the Entrance Corridor.
7. Provide planting area for trees along Bent Creek Parkway from Avon Street at least to the intersection
of Bent Creek Parkway with the first turnoff for the Major Tenant A building, consistent with the
approved landfill work plan.
Regarding recommended conditions of initial site plan approval:
1. Approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval.
Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit:
1. Provide a conservation plan checklist. Show all the checklist items on the plan.
Albemarle Coun Fire & Rescue A s s royal. 1 Co i is re uired to be submitted for review
1. Where new water mains are extended along streets where hydrants are not needed for protection
of structures or similar fire problems, fire hydrants shall be provided at spacing not to exceed
1,000 feet to provide for transportation hazards. Please install hydrants on Bent Creek Parkway at
1,000 foot intervals.
2. Fire hydrants shall be provided on all public streets and fire apparatus access roads. The hydrants
shall have an average spacing of 500 feet. Please adjust hydrants currently shown on the
submitted plans accordingly.
3. Fire Department Connections shall be shown on the site plan. The fire department connections
shall be located on the address side of the structure. The fire department connections shall be
located within 50 feet of a fire hydrant and preferably away from the structure to prevent blocking
traffic when hose lines are in use during firefighting operations.
4. Fire lanes will be required around Wegman's, Major Tenant A and the parking lot of Tenant F.
Please call the Fire Marshal's Office at 434 - 296 -5833 to discuss the exact locations to be marked
and signed.
5. The minimum turning radius on the travel ways throughout the property shall be 25' for roads that
are 20 -32' wide. This will not apply to the aisles serving the parking spaces only those streets or
lanes that provide ingress and egress throughout the property. Please contact the Fire Marshal's
office at 431- 296 -5833 to discuss the areas that need addressed on the plans.
6. Provide building construction types so that the required fire flow can be determined. Once
calculated documentation must be provided to the Fire Marshal's Office that the required fire flow
is available throughout the site.

5. RWSA Capacity Certification
Virginia Department of Transportation Approval. (1 Copy is required to be submitted for review)
Typical Section
1. Shoulder should meet VDOT Road Design Manual GS -7 standards.
6
2. A paved shoulder should be used rather than a gravel shoulder t prevent stones from
obstructing bike lane.
3. VDOT suggests using curb and gutter instead of shoulder along the road for permanent typical
section.
4. Geometry should allow for a 16ft median for potential expansion to 4 -lane road in the future.
General
5. Raised medians should be used rather than painted medians.
6. Road geometry cannot be accurately assessed due to through lanes not meeting up with center
line. Provide a center line for currently proposed section of road.
7. Show curb ramps on sidewalk.
8. Entrances from Bent Creek Road to parking and retail areas need to meet minimum throat
length standards.
9. Entrances should be consolidated at the new intersection of Bent Creek Road and Avon Street.
10. Permits will be required for grading on I -64. Applicants should be in touch with necessary
parties as soon as possible.
11. Road and drainage plans need to be provided and reviewed.
Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (RWSA) Approval. (1 Copy is required to be submitted for
review)
General Plan Comments:
1. RWSA previously issued a flow acceptance for this project; however, the flow capacity
certification has expired. Prior to final site plan approval, a new request should be sent to RWSA
for acceptance of sewage flows with updated flow numbers.
2. The RWSA Moores Creek Interceptor (located along the north bank of Moores Creek) should be
surveyed and shown on all plan sheets.
3. Label RWSA interceptor with ownership, size, and material (e.g. `RWSA 30" RCP Sanitary
Sewer').
4. Correctly show and label RWSA sanitary sewer easements with deed book and page numbers.
Utility Plan (Sheets 10A -J):
1. The Utility Plan shows several stormwater outfalls to Moores Creek for this project. The RWSA
Moores Creek Interceptor is located adjacent to the north creek bank along the entire project site,
and erosion has been observed since the interceptor was constructed in 1974. RWSA is concerned
that the stormwater design shown on the plans may exacerbate existing erosion conditions and as
a result, undermine the stability of the sewer line. Of particular concern are structures STM DI
(sheet IOC) and STM D9 (sheet 10D), both of which may substantially alter stream flow patterns.
Please provide documentation on how you intend to mitigate velocity and channel modifications
caused by outfalls which would cause erosion on the north side of the creek.
2. Sheets 9A and 9E show connections to both City of Charlottesville and ACSA water lines.
RWSA is currently developing a wholesale master metering program to monitor urban water
usage by the City and the County. Further details on the program will be forthcoming; however it
is likely that a meter and vault to be owned and operated by RWSA will be required at the
interconnection. Exact details may be coordinated through future site plan work.
Landscape Plan (Sheet 11A):
1. On sheet 11A, portions of the "tree conservation" areas intersect the existing RWSA sewer line
easement. Please be aware that RWSA routinely performs maintenance clearing of its easements,
and as such, trees in this area will be removed.
Proffers:
1. Proffer #7 describes the contractor's requirements to complete erosion and buffer projects for
Moore's Creek in the areas designated in the attached Exhibit B. RWSA would like a copy of the
scope and schedule of these projects to determine their impacts on the existing Moores Creek
Interceptor.
Charlottesville Area Transit (CAT) Approval (1 Copy is required to be submitted for review)
7
1. Option 1:
a. We believe this option would better serve the shopping center and allow passengers
better access to the locations. However, it does entail going through the facility rather
than going around it. Questions we had were if the parking spaces that are marked with
sgtkares can be converted into bus pull outs /stops. Additionally, we were not sure if the
circle is capable of handling a 35 foot bus.
2. Option 2:
a. There are 2 locations I see possible for bus stops. The western stop would be located and
what seems to be a pavilion /entrance. However, because the location is right after a turn,
it might have to be pushed further north. The eastern stop would have no issues if a cut
out can be built into the median there. Additionally, stops will have to be put on the
opposite of each stop to serve in both direction.
Both options include driving by the park and ride. It is ideal not to go into the park and ride lot
and have stops on either side of the main street. However, if that's not possible, going into the
park and ride lot can be considered.
If you have any questions about these conditions or the submittal requirements please feel free to contact
me at Extension 3004, myaniglos @albemarle.org.
Sincerely,
‘1"..
