AND DI SIG.y February 16, 2023 County of Albemarle 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Reference: SDP202200005 Chick-Fil-A #3187 Canopy Project — Minor Site Plan Amendment 7. [Comment] Landscape Plan. County Policy for site plan amendments requires that minor amendments "incorporate all the changes approved with the LORs"; however, based on the limited nature of the changes proposed by the applicant, staff is satisfied by the plan simply locating and providing brief descriptions of the changes approved with each LOR. However, with multiple changes to the Landscape Plan made by LOR 1, LOR 2, LOR 3, and this Minor (as suggested by Sheet A-5), staff will be requiring an updated Landscape Plan to be submitted and approved with this minor amendment Please include an updated Landscape Plan in the next plan set submittal. Rev. 2: Staff has reviewed the Landscaping Plan sheet and has the following comments (see below). Overall, the landscape plan is not currently showing the level of detail needed for approval. g. Staff cannot confirm the Canopy Square Footages (SF) noted under the Landscape Requirements Section A. What is the source of this information? Staff use the County Plant Canopy Calculations document (https://www.albemarle.org/home/showpublisheddocument/ 1020/63 75 5111441 8370000) when reviewing canopy calculations. Staff suggest aligning the canopy calculations provided in the plan with this document to expedite review. Rev. 3: Comment partially addressed. Revise the "provided" site tree canopy calculations as follows to align with the Plant Canopy Calculations document, County Code requirements, and tree species listed on the previously approved plan (unless there is reason to believe a different species has been used): RESPONSE: Plan to show Plant Canopy Calculations on sheet L-100. Please note the total canopy SF for plum trees per Comments are updated on L-100, to meet compliance per Comment 7o.

Since this property falls within the Entrance Corridor overlay district, update Section B. Street Trees to note that the street tree requirement for Richmond Rd. is 198LF/35LF and Luxor Rd is 458LF/40LF. Rev. 3: Comment partially addressed. The required number of plantings along Luxor Rd is 12 street trees (458/40=11.45. County policy rounds up to the nearest whole number. Thus, the requirement is 12). The plan currently demonstrates compliance with this standard, the notes just need to be updated. Revise the notes to indicate that 12 street trees are required, 12 are provided, and specifically 6 black gum trees are provided along Luxor Rd. RESPONSE: Calculations revised to 12 trees required along Luxor Rd and noting 6 black gum on sheet L-100. i. Consequently, please update the "provided" section under Section B. Street Trees to demonstrate that the aforementioned requirement is being met Rev. 3: Comment partially addressed. See guidance in Comment 7h. RESPONSE: Calculations revised on sheet L-100. k. If tree protection will be needed/used during construction, locate where tree protection fencing will be used and provide a detail. Rev. 3: Comment partially addressed. Locate on a plan map where temporary tree protection fencing will be placed if used during construction. RESPONSE: Plan revised to show tree protection fencing and callout on sheet L-100. 1.On the landscaping plan, include a signed copy of the Conservation Plan Checklist (attached) since existing plantings will be used to meet the landscaping requirements. RESPONSE: Checklist added to sheet L-100. m. Staff suggest reordering the sheets such that the Landscape Plan and Partial Landscape Plan are back-to-back, generally for clarity and also ease of reference. RESPONSE: See architectural plan. n. Reminder that Sheets L-100 and A-5 must be in alignment with one another. Rev. 3: Comment partially addressed. Sheet L-100 should show the final planting scheme. It currently appears to show the planting scheme before some plantings are relocated to make way for the proposed canopies. Revise the sheet to reflect the final planting scheme. (Be advised, County inspectors will use the Landscaping Plan sheet to determine whether the site is in compliance with the approved plan once the site work has been completed.) RESPONSE: Landscape Plan L-100 revised to align with sheet A-5. Manley Land Design, Inc. • 51 Old Canton Street • Alpharetta, Georgia 30009 • manleylanddesign.com T manleVJ 1. AN 1) I) LSI L'_I o.
