RE: SDP202300006 Daly's Rent All — Major Site Plan Amendment Review Comments
Dear Meridian Planning Group, LLC.:
The Site Review Committee has reviewed the development proposal referenced above. Initial comments
from the following divisions of the Department of Community Development and other agencies, as
applicable, are attached:
Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner)
Albemarle County Architectural Review Board (ARB)
Albemarle County Building Inspections
Albemarle County Engineering Services (Engineer)
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)
Albemarle County Department of Fire Rescue
Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA)
Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (RWSA)

Comments reflect information available at the time the development proposal was reviewed, and should
not be considered fmal. However, the Site Review Committee has attempted to identify all issues that
will be required to be resolved prior approval of the major site plan amendment
Please contact me at your earliest convenience if you have questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
Syd Shoaf
Senior Planner
Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) — Syd Shoaf, sshoaf(aAbemarle.org — Requested changes:
1. [32.4.2.1 (t)] County records show that the required $448.00 notification fee has not yet been paid. This fee
will need to be paid prior to major site plan approval.
2. [32.7.41 Prior to Final Site Plan approval, a Water Protection Ordinance (APO) application must be
submitted, reviewed, and approved. See Engineering comments for further information.
3. [4.12] On Sheet C-001 in the parking schedule section, 41 spaces are indicated as provided. However, on
Sheet C-201, only 40 spaces are illustrated. Please confirm if 41 or 40 spaces are provided, and if needed,
please revise Sheet C-001.
4. [4.12.15 (a)] On Sheet C-201, please indicate the type of surface materials used for all parking areas and
access aisles.
5. [4.12.16 (c)(1)] For perpendicular parking, the minimum space for parking spaces with a width of 9 feet are
a length of 18 feet with an aisle width of 24 feet. On Sheet C-201, please revise the parking dimensions on
the western portion of the proposed site plan.
6. [4.12.16 (c)(5)] For handicapped parking, the minimum space and aisle dimensions are a width of 8 feet, a
length of 8 feet, handicap access aisle width of 5 feet, and van access aisle width of 8 feet. Additionally,
vehicular access aisle widths shall be the same as for perpendicular parking. On Sheet C-201, please revise
the handicapped parking dimensions to meet this requirement.
7. [4.9] The ADA access needs to be revised for the two parking spots and loading zone closest to the Existing
1-Story Building. The ADA pedestrian striping needs to be adjacent to a curb ramp for access. Either extend
the existing ADA pedestrian striping to reach the proposed curb cut onto the proposed sidewalk or please
add a new sidewalk and a new curb ramp next to where the proposed ADA pedestrian striping meets the
proposed light.
8. [4.12.18 (b)] The surface materials for all loading and unloading berths shall be surfaced with a bituminous
or other dust free surface. Please indicate on Sheet C-201 the type of surface material for the loading space.
9. [4.12.19 (b)] On Sheet C-201, the dumpster pad length is shown as 22 feet. However, on Sheet C-205, the
dumpster pad length is shown as 19.67 feet. Please confine which is the correct length and revise where
applicable.
10. [32.5.2 (b)] Please add a note to the cover sheet for the maximum amount of impervious cover on the site
plan.
11. [32.7.9.4 (a)] On Sheet C-203, please replace the Primus avium with a tree from the Albemarle County
approved plant list. Please also consider a non-invasive species to replace the Ilex Crenata.

Comments From Other Reviewers:
Albemarle County Engineering Services (Engineer) — Emily Cox, ecox2@albemarle.org — Requested changes, see
below.
Daly's Rent All Major Amendment has been reviewed by engineering. The following comments will need to be
addressed before approval:
1. WPO VSMP plan amendment must be submitted and approved before final site plan can be approved.
2. Engineering retaining wall plans will need to be submitted before WPO plan approval since the retaining
wall is part of the SWM facility.
3. Emergency spillway should not overflow onto sidewalk.
Albemarle County Architectural Review Board (ARB) — Margaret Maliszewski, mmaliszewskigalbemarle.org —
Requested changes, see below.
The proposed plan has been reviewed for consistency with the plan approved for the ARB in May 2019 and the Entrance
Corridor Design Guidelines. The plan is generally consistent, with a few revisions.
• The photometrics have been revised and the maximum footcandles now exceed 20, which is the guidelines maximum.
• Some tree locations have shifted, and some species have changed. Sizes and spacing meet requirements but the Primus
avium is not on the approved plant list and the Ilex Crenata is considered an invasive species.
• The layout of the stormwater facility has changed, but no change in appearance from the EC street is expected.
• No information on the building was submitted.
The following revisions are required for consistency with the Entrance Corridor Design Guidelines:
1. Revise the photometric plan to limit footcandles to a maximum of 20.
2. Revise the landscape plan: replace the Prunus avium with a tree from the approved plant list; consider a non-invasive
species to replace the Ilex Crenata.
3. Confirm that the design of the auto repair building has not changed since the May 2019 ARB approval. ARB-approved
documents can be found at this link. (Look for ARB201900029 Plan Approved 2019-05-14 and ARB201900029
Material/Color Sample.) If the design has changed, submit an ARB application for an amendment to an approved
plan.
Albemarle County Department of Fire Rescue — Howard Lagomarsino, hlaeomarsino@albemarle.org — Requested
changes, see below.
1. Please place a note on the plan indicating the needed fire flow for the building.
2. If the building requires a sprinkler system (as determined by the building official), then the FDC must be within 100
feet of a fire hydrant.
3. One concern is the parking/storage of repaired vehicles awaiting pick-up by the vehicle owners blocking firefighting
operations and/or fire apparatus access, especially on the north side of the building and around the access point for
the property. How will this be addressed/prevented?
4. During demolition and/or construction, the following fire prevention steps are required, so please note them on the
plan:
a. As found in the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code, establish a written Fire Prevention Plan and
identify someone to serve as the Fire Prevention Superintendent to ensure site compliance with the plan.
b. Smoking shall be prohibited in areas where smoking is a hazard, and these areas shall be designated with no
smoking signs per Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code.
c. Areas where smoking can occur, shall have appropriate receptacles for discarded smoking materials per
Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code.
d. Contractor shall ensure the street names and building numbers are always plainly visible from the frontage
street during construction per the Virginia Statewide Fire Code.
e. Per the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code, safe and efficient vehicular access for firefighting and
emergency operations shall be provided and maintained at all construction and demolition sites. This
includes provision of the required unobstructed access widths, a surface capable of supporting emergency
apparatus of up to 75,000 lbs. in all weather conditions, free of overhead obstructions from 13 ft. 6 inches
and below, provide access to fire department connections within 100 feet of water supply/hydrants and must
provide for aerial access no closer than 15 ft. and no more than 30 ft. from the access road to buildings over
30 feet tall. This access may be via permanent or temporary road as long as the conditions listed, and they
are properly identified/marked.
f. An approved water supply for firefighting operations shall be in place with unobstructed accessibility as
soon as combustible materials arrive on site.
g. Waste and combustible debris shall be removed from the building at the end of each day and disposed of in
accordance with the Virginia Statewide Fire Code.
h. Fire extinguishers shall be provided, with not less than one approved fire extinguisher at each stairwell, on
all floor levels where combustible materials have accumulated, in every storage and construction shed and
in areas of special; hazards, such as where flammable and combustible liquids are stored or used, in
accordance with the Virginia Statewide Fire Code.
i. Operations involving the use of cutting and welding shall comply with the Virginia Statewide Fire
Prevention Code and shall require a permit from the Albemarle County Fire Marshal's Office.
