Wilson P.O. Box 7388 Fredericksburg, VA 22404 RE: SP2008 -54 Rivanna to Preddy Creek Transmission Line Dear Mr. Wilson: Thank you for your recent application for a special use permit to upgrade an existing three mile transmission line in northeast Albemarle County, along Route 29 North. The members of the County's Site Review Committee have reviewed the development proposal referenced above. Preliminary comments from the Community Development's Planning Division, the Division of Zoning and Current Development, the Division of Engineering, the Architectural Review Board, and the Inspections Division are included below. Additional comments from the following departments and agencies are attached: • Virginia Department of Transportation • Albemarle County Service Authority • Rivanna Water Sewer Authority Planning Division The Planning Division is concerned about the 17 1/2' increase of ROW on adjacent land west of the proposed transmission line upgrade. Will existing vegetation have to be cleared? How will the easement be maintained? Will herbicides be used to maintain the easement within stream buffers? How close will the proposed 115,000 kv line come to existing structures? Division of Zoning and Current Development The application must be signed or otherwise approved by all affected property owners before a public hearing can be scheduled. The Zoning Division will work with the County Attorney to verify that this condition is met. County Engineer There do not appear to be any engineering concerns with upgrading the transmission line. An exemption for this activity is provided in the Water Protection Ordinance (17 -319). SP 2008 -054 Rivanna to Preddy Creek Transmission Line, December 5, 2008 Architectural Review Board Larger plans and a pole detail have been received. Given the degree of potential negative impact of this proposal on the Entrance Corridor, it is recommended that this proposal be forwarded to the ARB for review, after a work session is held with the Planning Commission. Inspections Division No objection. Comments from each reviewer reflect information available at the time the development proposal was reviewed, and should not be considered final. However, the Site Review Committee has attempted to identify all issues which could effect approval of the proposed project. A work session is scheduled for the above noted application on January 13, 2009. If you choose to make revisions to the site plan based on comments provided in this letter by the Site Review Committee, you will need to resubmit seven full size copies of the revised site plan and one 11" x 17" or legible reduced copy to the Community Development Department. A resubmittal schedule is attached. If you have questions or need additional information, please feel free to call me at 296 -5832 x 3029.

Simpson, PE;'Gary Whelan' Subject: SP200500064 Rivanna to Preddy Creek Transmission line Attachments: RWSA Waterllne near REC Substation.pdf Eryn, Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (RWSA) has reviewed the application for "SP200800U54 Rivanna to Preddy Creek Transmission Line" and believes there may be a conflict between an existing RWSA waterline and the proposed transmission line. RWSA owns and operates a 12" waterline in the vicinity of the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative's Rivanna Substation. The attached GIS map shows the approximate location of the waterline in relation to the substation and the existing transmission lines. RWSA would like additional information from the applicant regarding the location of the pales for the proposed transmission line, so that we can evaluate any impacts to our waterline. It would also be helpful if the RWSA waterline was added to plans (sheet 2 of 7) that were prepared by W &W Associates for this project. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
