Please address all of the requirements and conditions listed below and submit eight (8) tentative plan
copies to the Department of Community Development. This letter must be submitted with the tentative
plans, as a checklist, to document that.you have addressed all requirements or conditions, or the tentative
plan will be denied.
Erosion and Sediment Control, BMP Stormwater Management, and road plans with the associated
applications and fees must also be submitted with the eight (8) tentative.Plans.
°Once -the tentative _plan is submitted and .reviewed you will receive comments from all
.departments /divisions /agencies -that have made comment on the _tentative plan. Any :further
responses must be made directly to each department /division/agency -that has further comment.
After .all .aforementioned departments /divisions /agencies have granted .a -tentative .approval, you

The final site plan will be subject to all final site plan requirements (Zoning Ordinance Section 32.6), in
addition to the following conditions.
The Department of Community.Development shall not accept submittal of the final site plan for signature
until tentative approvals for the following conditions have been obtained:
Zoning & 1 Current Development approval-to include:
1. [32.5.6.p] COMMENT: Because trees and shrubs are to remain on the site, a Conservation
Checklist is required to be completed and signed and provided on the landscape plan. I see that it
has been added to the plans and is signed, but it must be completed as well.
2. [4.1.2.6] COMMENT: Thank you for providing mall parking figures. Please be aware that even
though there is a note that the figures were provided by the landlord, we will hold it to whomever
certifies the plans that the information is correct. We encourage you to confirm that the existing
and proposed mall parking is correct.
3. [4.1.2.6] COMMENT: Please clarify the Required parking note provided on Sheet C1.2 in the
Zoning /parking box. It references the required parking is "to be determined ". I assume this is
because the building plans have not been finalized, however we require this information before
approval of the plan. If necessary, you can propose a number of parking spaces based on the
maximum building square footage and then amend the final numbers prior to final site plan
approval.

documentation of this approval will be provided under a separate cover.
5. [32.5.6.a] COMMENT: Pursuant to providing a 10' reserved strip for land along Rio Road (See

Reviewer: Phil Custer
The site and ESC plans for the Red, Lobster at Fashion Square Mall, received on 29 June 2009, have been
reviewed. A full engineering review of the site was performed due to the completeness of the plan set.
A. Final Site Plan [SDP- 2009 - 00043]
1. Not all critical slopes are shaded on the existing conditions sheet. It appears that critical slopes are
disturbed with this plan. If these slopes were created with a previously approved site plan, the
slope disturbance can be waived administratively by the lead planner. If a previously approved
plan cannot be found showing the creation of the disturbed slope, the waiver will hav-i- be given
by the Planning Commission. Regardless, please provide a letter requesting this waiver referring
to all requirements detailed in Section 18 -4.2.5 of the Zoning Ordinance. The original site plan for
Fashion Square Mall is SDP -125. The final site plan for the Shoppes at Wachovia is SDP -2006-
00066:
(Rev. 1) The critical slope waiver request has been received. Engineering review has no
objection -to the approval of this waiver.
.2. A plat must be recorded before this site plan can be approved. The plat should include at least the
following: drainage easement for the pipe through the property, the private sanitary sewer
easement onto TMP 61 -122A, the public water easement, and a site and grading easement for the
parking and travelways on TMP 61 -132 (a boundary line adjustment would also suffice). The
width of the drainage easement must be calculated using the equation in the review checklist and
centered over the pipe.
(Rev. 1) Water and sewer easements will be handled by the review of the Albemarle County
Service Authority. Current development will review the agreements between the outparcel and
the Fashion Square Mall property when they are submitted. Engineering recommends that the
site plan is designed with a 10ftReserved ROW area along Rio Rd. as requested by VDOT.

6. Please install a sidewalk along Rio Road from the entrance to the Shoppes at Wachovia to existing
walk on the east side of the mall entrance. A crosswalk and pedestrian signals will also be
required across the mall entrance to make the connection safe. Please show all necessary
sidewalks, crosswalks, signals, and signage on the next submittal. [18- 32.7.2.8]
(Rev. .1) A sidewalk has been provided as requested. However, improvements have not been
proposed to upgrade the mall entrance intersection so that it could be better used by
pedestrians. This intersection is a significantpedestrian safety hazard and.engineering review
recommends that it be addressed with this plan. Although, engineering review fully recognizes
that there is nothing within state or local law that allows for the absence of these improvements
on the plan to delay any county approvals or permits.

C. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan [WPO- 2009 - 00024]
1. The Erosion and Sediment control plan needs a phase H portion showing all final grades,
structures, and hardscapes.
(Rev. 1) Please show all necessary ESC measures on Phase Hportion of the plan (silt fence,
safety fence, inletprotection, construction entrance, permanent seeding, etc.).
2. The concept for the ESC plan shown is not acceptable. Since roughly the entire site drains to the
existing DI -3C, inlet protection shown here should be sufficient. Since the drainage area to this
inlet is likely between 1.5 and 1.75 acres a variance from the program authority will be required.
The program authority will approve this variation if the applicant provides a sump in front of the
inlet for settling, like the sediment trap inlet protection described on page III -37, in addition to the
block and. gravel protection.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been addressed. The inspector will give the contractor flexibility. in the
field regarding the size of the trap.
3. The silt fence in the middle of the site adjacent to the construction entrance should be removed.
Instead, a paved diversion should be added across the mouth of the entrance to direct all runoff to
the sediment trap inlet protection on the existing DI -3C.
(Rev. 1) Comment has been addressed. The inspector will give the contractor flexibility in how
to direct water across the entrance into the sediment trap.

Subject: Site Review Meeting Comments June 18, 2009 site review meeting
Dear Mr. Brooks:
Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the June 18, 2009 Site Review Committee Meeting:
SDP - 2009 -00043 Red Lobster Seafood Company- Preliminary (Elizabeth Marotta)
1. It is recommended that the frontage along Rio Road be dedicated to public use for a distance of 10 feet
behind the existing curb for the turn lane that was constructed with the entrance to Fashion Square Mall.
This area should have been dedicated as part of Rio Road at the time the turn lane was built to
accommodate the necessary setbacks, clear zone and pedestrian facilities and to ensure there was
adequate space to maintain the road. It is also recommended that the sidewalk be constructed along to
frontage of Rio Road. ]
2. It appears there may be some easements missing from the plan that should be in place for drainage
structures.
3. This plan does not appear to generate a volume of traffic that would require the-submittal of a Chapter
527 Traffic Study.
4. All access to the sight is internal and should not require and permits.
