Memorandum
To: Justin Shimp, Dominion Development Resources, Inc.
Owner: Hurt Investment Company
Applicant: Free Bridge Auto
From: Elizabeth Marotta, Senior Planner
Division: Zoning & Current Development
Date: September 1, 2009 (Updated from December 1, 2008 comments for SDP08 -171)
Subject: SDP - 2009 -62
The Planner for the Current Development Division of the Albemarle County Department
Community Development will recommend approve the plan referred to above when the following
items have been satisfactorily addressed. (The following comments are those that have been
identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on
further review.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County
Code.]
1. [32.5.6b] COMMENT: It appears that 53 spaces are provided, whereas the Site Data list
indicates 48 spaces are provided. Please address this discrepancy.
[32.5.6d] COMMENTS:
Critical slopes- UPDATE: Provide evidence that critical slopes were created with an
approved site plan, otherwise a critical slopes waiver will be required. Also, please
provide callouts or legend to identify the shading on the existing conditions plan (that
I believe to be critical slopes).
Topography- It is required that you show topography and features at least up to 50'
outside the property lines; please revise accordingly. Also, it is my understanding that
(some of) the topography shown on the existing conditions plan is not actually
existing, but is per an approved site plan (particularly off -site topo). Please be very
clear about what topo is existing, and what topo is per an approved site plan. Where
applicable, identify which site plan the approved topo came from.
Offsite topography- Because off -site grading is proposed, please show topography
for at least 50' beyond the limits of all disturbance.
3. [32.5.6n] COMMENTS:
Parking lots- UPDATE: Required parking spaces are being provided off -site (23 +/-
spaces). An offsite parking agreement is required to be submitted and approved prior
to final site plan approval. Prior to preliminary site plan approval, provide evidence
the adjacent property owner is willing to provide /negotiate the required agreement(s).
Inter - parcel connectivity- This site is subject to Sec. 32.7.2.5 and inter - parcel
connectivity is required. The adjacent Kia major amendment plan (SDP200500135)
provides a connection point to this property, as does the preliminary plan for
Whitehouse (SDP200800020, Final SDP200800124) Please revise the plan as
necessary to provide inter - parcel connections.
Signs- UPDATE: Signage is not required to be shown on the site plan.
4. [32.5.6j] COMMENT: Albemarle County approved an easement plat on 11/ 21/08 that
shows the drainage easement on the subject parcel as remaining, and in fact provides a
new easement segment. The proposed preliminary site plan shows this easement as `to be
vacated' and relocated to the western property line. Please address this discrepancy, and
update the preliminary site plan to show all existing easements.
5. [32.5.6.e] [32.7.9.4.c] COMMENT: Existing landscape features are required to be
shown. If none exist, please provide note on plan to confirm there are none to show.
Final tentative approval from this department will be subject to the following conditions: [These
conditions are those which have been identified at this time. Conditions may be added or
eliminated based on additional review.]
1. [32.5.6n] UPDATE: Offsite parking agreement is required to be submitted and approved
prior to final site plan approval.
2. ARB approval is required prior to final site plan approval.
3. [32.7.9.6 Street Trees] Prior to final site plan approval, the requirements of this section
must be met.
