Based on the sight lines provided on the site plan, it appears that some of the vegetation along Woodburn Road on both sides of the entrance will need to be cut back to allow for the required sight distance. 2. Based on a conversation with the design engineer, the 35' radius on the south side of the Woodburn Road entrance is going to be changed to a 50' radius to better accommodate the school bus traffic that will utilize this new entrance. The entrance culvert will need to be adjusted accordingly. 3. Subject to the above comments, VDOT has no objection to the proposed site plan. If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Troy Austin, P.E.

In order for the amended site plan to be approved the following revisions are required: 1. [32.5.2(a)] This property is zoned R -6 and, therefore, technically doesn't have parking setbacks; please remove this information from the "site data ". Additionally, this property has two fronts; one on Berkmar and one on Woodburn. Because there are two fronts, all of the other property lines are sides (fronts and backs don't intersect). Please show the setbacks on the layout plan and label them correctly. Revl : Comment addressed. 2. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the names of the owners, zoning district, tax map and parcel number, and present uses of all abutting parcels. Revl : Comment addressed. 3. [32.5.2(b)] List the number of parking spaces removed and the number proposed. Verify the total number of spaces provided; "site data" indicates 118, but the landscape plan states 128. Revl : Comment addressed. 4. [32.5.2(d)] A critical slope waiver was requested to disturb 0.55 acres of man -made slopes in excess of 25 %. However, a Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) is currently underway that, if approved, would designate the slopes on this property as "managed ". The ZTA, as proposed, would allow for the disturbance of "managed" critical slopes for many permitted uses as long as certain design standards are met, and would make this waiver unnecessary. The ZTA will be heard by the Board of Supervisors on Wednesday March 5th. If the ZTA is not approved, the waiver request will be processed while revisions to the site plan are underway. Revl : Comment addressed. 5. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the pavement width for Woodburn Road. Revl : Comment addressed. 6. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the pavement width for both entrances and their associated accessways. Revl : Comment addressed. 7. [32.5.26,k,l)] Verify that the location(s) of all existing or proposed utilities and utility easements including water, sewer, drainage, telephone, cable, electric and gas are shown on the plan. Revl : Comment addressed. 8. [32.5.2(m)] Show the distance to the centerline of the nearest existing street intersection from the proposed ingress and egress locations. Rev1: Comment addressed. 9. [32.6.2(e)5] Provide a legend showing all symbols and abbreviations used on the plan. Rev1: Comment addressed. 10. [32.6.2(g)] All water and sewer facilities to be dedicated to public use and the easements for those facilities and shall be identified by a statement that the facilities are to be dedicated to the Albemarle County Service Authority. Rev1: Comment addressed. 11. [32.6.2(i)] Dimension all travelways. Rev1: Comment addressed. 12. [32.6.2(1)] Show the location of any loading space(s) and provide dimensions. Rev1: Comment addressed. 13. [32.6.2(i)] Provide the location of any signs. Rev1: Comment addressed. 14. [32.6.2(i)] Indicate the type of surfacing for all paved or gravel areas. Rev1: Comment addressed. However, the hatching patterns used to designate different surfacing types are very hard to distinguish on the copies submitted for review. 15. [32.6.2(i)] Label the angle of any non - perpendicular parking spaces. Rev1: Comment addressed. 16. [32.6.2(i) & 4.12.15 (f)] Each end of the 10 parking space row on the eastern side of the parking lot should be protected by raised traffic islands instead of painted stripes. Rev1: Comment addressed. 17. [32.6.20) & 32.7.9.4(b)] Existing trees may be preserved in lieu of planting new plant materials in order to satisfy the landscaping and screening requirements of section 32.7.9 or to meet conditions of approval, subject to the agent's approval. It appears that some of the Landscape Plan requirements are proposed to be met with existing vegetation. The landscape plan should show the trees to be preserved, the limits of clearing, the location and type of protective fencing, grade changes requiring tree wells or walls, and trenching or tunneling proposed beyond the limits of clearing. In addition, the applicant shall sign a conservation checklist approved by the agent to insure that the specified trees will be protected during construction. Except as otherwise expressly approved by the agent in a particular case, such checklist shall conform to specifications contained in the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook, pp III -284 through III -297, and as hereafter amended. This checklist must be signed, dated, and added to the landscape plan sheet. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. The majority of the required tree canopy is provided through preservation of existing trees along the perimeter of the property. The tree protection measures for these trees are only shown on the Sheet C3.1, not the landscape plan. Frequently E &S plans are pulled from the site plan set at the request of Engineering; make sure Sheet C3.1 remains with the site plan set or add an additional landscape sheet showing tree protection for all trees remaining on the site. Additionally, the conservation checklist must be completed, signed and dated. 18. [32.6.20) & 32.7.9.6(b)] The 5% landscaped area required shall be planted with a mixture of shade trees and shrubs and shall include one (1) large or medium shade tree per ten (10) parking spaces or portion thereof, if five (5) spaces or more. As noted above, clarify how many total parking spaces are proposed. Additionally, it appears that one Betula nigra is proposed within a striped paved area; please revise. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. The parking lot tree note indicates that 11.8 (12) trees are required, and only 10 are provided. However, the Landscape Plan shows many more trees than 10 are proposed. Revise the note to indicate that at least the minimum required number is provided. Please also revise the size of the proposed trees to indicate the minimum caliper instead of height. The minimum requirement for parking lot trees is 1 1/2" — 1 %" caliper. 19. [32.6.20) & 32.7.9.8] The tree canopy requirement for this site is 10 %; please provide information to verify that this requirement is being met. If existing trees are to be used to satisfy this requirement, provide the information requested above regarding preserving existing trees in lieu of planting new plant material. Please also provide the tree canopy information for all proposed plantings. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. See comment #17 above. Additionally, use numbers from the County's "Approved Plant Canopy Calculations" to indicate the canopy provided by the proposed plantings. (http: / /www.albemarle.org /upload /images /forms center /departments /Community Developmen t /forms /appli cation s /Approved Plant Canopy Calculations 02- 05- 03.pdf) 20. [32.6.2(k) & 4.17] Is any outdoor lighting proposed? If so, all lighting (including building mounted fixtures) must be shown on a lighting plan that includes a photometric plan, luminaire schedule and cut sheets for each proposed fixture. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed; a lighting plan has now been added to the application, see lighting comments below. 21. [Comment] This amendment cannot be approved until VDOT completes their review and grants their approval; comments will be forwarded upon receipt. Engineering, Fire /Rescue, ACSA, inspections, and E911 comments have been provided. Rev1: Comment addressed. This amendment cannot be approved until VDOT, Engineering, Fire /Rescue, and ACSA complete their review and grant their approval; comments will be forwarded upon receipt. 22. [32.6.2(k) & 4.17] Show the proposed lighting locations on the layout and landscape sheets to verify that no site conflicts exist. 23. [32.6.2(k) & 4.17] Lighting spillover exceeds 0.5 footcandle along the Woodburn Road right -of -way, and possibly along the northern property line in one small area; revise the lighting to reduce the spillover to 0.5 footcandle or less (4.17.4(b)l ). 24. [32.6.2(k) & 4.17] Albemarle County requires that the LLF (maintenance factor) be 1.0; revise the photometric plan to use the proper LLF. 25. [32.6.2(k) & 4.17] Provide the following standard lighting note on the lighting plan: Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3, 000 or more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be 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 and property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one -half footcandle. Staff has provided references to provisions of Chapter 18 of the Code of the County of Albemarle. The Code is kept up to date by the County Attorney's office. The Code may found on the County Attorney's website which may be found under "Departments and Services" at Albemarle.org. In accord with the provisions of Section 32.4.3.5 of Chapter 18 of the Code if the developer fails to submit a revised final site plan to address all of the requirements within six (6) months after the date of this letter the application shall be deemed to have been voluntarily withdrawn by the developer.

Subject: SDP-2014-0003 Agnor-Hurt Elementary School Attachments: SDP-2014-0003 Agnor-Hurt Elementary School Review Comments-3-4-14.pdf Ellie, Couple of things about this site...I received some comments in early February from one of our project managers indicating that there would need to be some minor changes made to Woodburn at the proposed entrance to match the improvements in shown in the plans for the 29 Bypass project. I didn't include that in my review letter because I don't really know where we stand with bypass. It appears to be dead based on the Board of Supervisors' action, but who knows. Secondly,they have issues with the sight distance they have shown. I'm going to verify prior to the SRC, but I think that the road is unposted, making the speed limit 55 mph. For that speed,they need 610 feet of sight distance and they are showing 240 to the left and 280 to the right...BIG problem. An option available to them is for them to get the Board of Supervisors to make a request to Joel for a speed study and ultimately a posted speed limit on Woodburn. Let me know if you have any questions. If I don't hear from you, I will see you on Thursday. Troy Austin, P.E.

The proposed entrance onto Woodburn Road will need to be designed and constructed in accordance with VDOT commercial entrance standards. The appropriate detail should be added to the plans and the entrance should be dimensioned accordingly. 2.
