Subject: SDP200900020, Tabor Presbyterian Church Addition - Preliminary Site Plan
The revisions to the preliminary site plan for the Tabor Presbyterian Church Addition, submitted on April
28, 2009, has been reviewed. Current Development Engineering can recommend approval once the
following comments have been addressed:
General Site Plan Comments
1. Please revise the Field Notes on Sheet 2 to state that this property is in the Lickinghole Creek
Watershed [18- 32.5.6.f].
REV #]: Comment has been addressed.
2. The existing concrete sidewalk adjacent and parallel to Tabor Street should be extended to the
western edge of TMP 56A2 -1 -12 with this site plan [18- 32.7.2.8]. The Downtown Crozet District
zoning requires new sidewalks to be 8 -feet wide [18- 20B.7.A]. The applicant may request a
waiver of the width requirement under the provision in 18- 20B.7.D, this is an administrative
waiver to the Chief of Current Development. The VDOT standard for sidewalk width on an
Urban Local road without curb & gutter is 4 -feet.
REV #1: Comment has not been addressed, sidewalk has not been extended.
3. Hard surface and curbing are required on all new parking lot travelways (18- 4.12.15). Written
requests providing justification for a waiver of these requirements must be submitted with this site
plan [18- 32.5.3]. Please calculate and include the design ADT for the travelway, and the required
pavement section based on that ADT, using VDOT pavement design guidelines. [18- 4.12.15.a]
REV #1: Comment has not been addressed, a waiver request has not been received.
4. Alley right -of -way or easement width should not be less than 20 feet. The Chief of Current
Development may authorize an alley with a lesser width. [18- 32.7.2.5, 14- 410(D)]
REV #1: Comment has not been addressed, Chief of Current Development has not been asked
to authorize a width less than 20 feet.
5. One -way access aisles may be approved if a public street is not part of the circulation loop. [18-
4.12.17.c.2] It appears that vehicles will loop back onto Tabor Street to reach the existing parking
lot after circulating through the one -way drop off. A waiver of this criteria may be requested
under section I8- 4.12.2.c.
REV #]: Comment has been addressed, direction of travelway has been reversed so that public
street will not be part of the loop.
6. Per VDOT standards, a commercial/private entrance onto public street shall have minimum return
radii of 12.5 feet and a minimum width of 14 feet for one -way traffic.
REV #l: Comment has been addressed.
7. Please show sight distance triangles at the new entrance.
REV #1: Comment has not been addressed.
Stormwater Management Comments (for information purposes only)
The conceptual stormwater management plan appears adequate. Stormwater management
calculations and design will be reviewed once a WPO application has been submitted.
Engineering approval of the Preliminary Site Plan does not include approval of the proposed
stormwater management plan.
REV #1: Comment has been noted.
9. The culverts under the existing entrances and the roadside ditch along Tabor Street appear to need
maintenance. Calculations for the culvert and ditch capacities will be required with the WPO
application. The roadside ditch may need to be replanted with sturdier vegetation, or lined if
velocities warrant. The adequacy of other downstream pipes may also need to be checked.
REV #l: When preparingfinal plans, please coordinate with County project to improve Tabor
Street /Crozet Avenue intersection. Contact Jack Kelsey in Albemarle County Facilities
Management.
Final Site Plan comments (for information purposes only)
10. Temporary grading and construction easements will be necessary from TMP's 56A2 -1 -15 and
56A2 -1 -18.
REV #l: Comment has been noted.
