Albemarle County Engineering Division Comments (John Anderson)
6. 'CD100: May retain erosion control measures, but Albemarle will not inspect, and this
project is not subject to VESCP NSMP requirements. ESC /SWM design are shown on
a WPO (Application) Plan, if required, not on a site plan amendment. CD100, Note 3,
indicates that total limits of disturbance for project is 2,490 SF. Since limits of disturbance
< 10,000 SF, no ESC /SWM plan is required; WPO /SWPPP not required; bond /SWM
easement not required; further coordination with Albemarle Engineering is not required.
• Understood.
7. CD101: May retain this sheet, if helps Applicant achieve objectives, project outcome, but,
as noted at item 1., this project is not subject to VESCP NSMP requirements. Any ESC
measures are elective, since 2,490 SF LOD is not subject to either VESCP NSMP
requirements.
• Understood.
8. CS100: Recommend label pavement marking that delineates by-pass from order queue
lane (4" white solid line, for example).
• 4" white solid line call out has been added to the pavement marking on Sheet CS100.
9. Provide Autoturn fig. for dumpster using wheelbase typical of Waste Management (WM)
style vehicle; geometry is problematic. Multi -point turn to approach dumpster is not
acceptable (multiple reverse maneuvers, especially, with reversal into queued order lane
of vehicles.
Kimlep Horn

Show Autoturn fig. for WM-style wheelbase vehicle at dumpster, and at R35' bypass lane
entry curve. Design revision likely required.
• Truck Turn Exhibit has been provided with this submittal. The dumpster location has been
revised.
10. CD500: ESC details are elective. No ESC by local VSMP authority since LOD 2,490 SF.'
• Understood.
Architecture Review Board (ARB) Comments (Khristoper Taggart)
11. No detailed drawings or color specifications have been provided on the drive-thru-related
equipment. Revise the submittal to include detailed drawings and color specifications for
the proposed drive-thru equipment.
• Refer to "New DT Equipment" attachment which includes detailed drawings and color
specifications for the proposed drive-thru equipment.
12. The level of change to the drive-thru canopy structure is unclear. Revise the architectural
drawings to provide greater clarity regarding the changes proposed to the drive-thru
canopy structure.
• Refer to attached Architectural Set which includes the changes to greater clarity.
13. The color renderings and the line drawings appear to show a different column style than
what is existing. Please clarify if any changes are proposed to the existing columns.
• Changes to the existing columns are proposed. Renderings and line drawings depict new
column profile. See attached Architectural Set.
14. No detailed drawings have been provided on the dumpster enclosure. Revise the submittal
to include detailed drawings and color specifications for dumpster enclosure.

Plan.
