A. Final Site Plan
1. Please show all existing easements (access, drainage, sight, sanitary easements, etc.) with deed
book references, locations, and dimensions. [18- 32.6.6, 14 -302]
2. Please provide a VDOT designation (PE -1, CG -9a, etc) to all entrances.
3. VDOT approval must be attained for any plan affecting right -of -way.
4. Sidewalks abutting parking at the northeast building must be 6' wide, or bumper blocks must be
provided.
5. Some parking areas exceed 5% grade.
6. Waiver request for 18- 4.12.15a — Surface Materials: Waiver not required. SP2007 -27 designates
prime and double seal.
7. Waiver request for 18- 4.12.15g — Curb and Gutter: In areas of the parking lot where curbing is not
proposed, bumper blocks will be required. In areas where parking spaces abut a 3:1 (or steeper)
slope with a 7.5 -foot or greater vertical drop, guardrail is required.
8 Waiver request for 18- 4.12.16c — Minimum Parking Aisle Width: The minimum two -way traffic
aisle width requirement of 20 feet may be reduced in the northwest parking area. It appears that a
12 -foot width could be achievable in the rear travelway, with 16 -foot in the front.
9. Waiver request for 18- 4.12.16e — Bumper Blocks: Sidewalks abutting parking at the northeast
building must be 6' wide, or bumper blocks must be provided. However, request for the bumper
blocks in the parking area of the south side depend on whether guardrails are used.
10. Waiver request for 18- 4.12.17c — Vehicular Access Aisles- One -way Traffic: The request for a
reduction in one -way access aisle width has not been granted. The access aisles in question are
lined with both parallel and handi -cap parking as well as a drop -off area. Reducing the required
width presents safety concerns. The applicant will not incur undue hardship by adding an extra
two feet to the access aisles which will be newly constructed.
11. Please provide sidewalk details and specifications on the plans.
12. Please provide retaining wall details on the plans.
13. Please show Albemarle County general construction notes on the site plan.
14. Please provide drainage profiles showing and labeling existing ground, proposed ground, slope,
and stationing.
