Airport Road Office Plaza, c/o Management Services Corporation
From: Elizabeth M. Marotta, Senior Planner
Division: Zoning & Current Development
Date: November 19, 2009
Subject: SDP 2009 -89 Airport Road Office Plaza- Final
The Planner for the Zoning & Current Development Division of the Albemarle County
Department Community Development will 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. [32.5.6.a] COMMENT: This parcel is located in the Airport Impact Area, as well as the
Entrance Corridor Overlay. Please add this to Zoning information, under Site Data, Sheet
Cl.
2. [32.5.6.a] COMMENT: The proper way to refer to Albemarle is "County of Albemarle,
Virginia." Please edit Cover Sheet to properly refer to locality.
3. [32.5.6.a] COMMENT: On the plans, please provide adjacent property information for
the parcel immediately to the south of the subject parcel (TMP 32B -A).
4. [32.5.6.a] COMMENT: Better delineate "20' Undisturbed Buffer." There are a number
of parallel lines in this area and it is difficult to discern which line is the buffer line
without scaling off the property line. (A couple of dimension lines from the property line
may help.)
5. [32.6.6.d.5] COMMENT: Benchmark symbol in legend does not match that used on
plan.
6. [32.6.6.h. I] COMMENT: Boundary mets and bounds are too difficult to read; please
increase lineweight on at least one sheet (preferably sheet C2.0) so they are legible for
each segment.
7. [32.5.6.b] COMMENT: It appears 249 parking spaces are provided (per Sheet C3.0),
however under Site Data on Sheet C1.0 `Parking Provided' says 245. Please address this
discrepancy. (Perhaps better label the 4 "Loading Area" spaces and provide this
information as part of the Site Data.)
8. [32.5.6.a] COMMENT: Provide reference to Critical Slopes waiver, granted by the
Planning Commission 11/11/08.
9. [32.5.6.i] COMMENT: Provide state route for Timberwood Boulevard.
10. [32.6.6.j,i] COMMENT: Show light pole locations on landscape plan and utility plan to
ensure no conflicts.
11. [32.6.6.j] COMMENT: On lighting plan, make sure luminaire schedule qty matches
what is proposed; it appears only 4 (not 5) OF -2 are proposed.
12. [32.6.6.j] COMMENT: On lighting plan, remove IES/Dark Skies note.
13. [32.6.6.j] COMMENT: On lighting plans, specify bollard color. Per approved ARB
plans, this is ANBK.
14. [32.5.6.p] [32.6.6.i] COMMENT: Landscape plan submitted does not match the plan
approved by the ARB. Brent Nelson (staff to the ARB) and I have reviewed the proposed
plan against the ARB approved plan, and the plan must be revised to be more in line with
what the ARB approved. Particularly, all street trees and landscaping intended to screen
the parking lot from the rights of way must match what the ARB approved. Also, internal
parking lot landscaping must match the ARB plan. Staff understands that with the
biofilters being reduced in size, the associated landscaping was reduced in those specific
locations, so these need not be revised. Also, Staff also understands that landscaping
along the retaining wall was revised in order to keep construction activities out of the
"20' Undisturbed Buffer," thus landscaping along the back property line does not need to
be revised. Please revise the plans and resubmit; be aware that an amendment to the
ARB Certificate of Appropriateness MAY be required depending on revisions you
submit. As a reminder, please ensure your landscape schedule is accurately updated with
any changes you propose.
15. [32.6.6] COMMENT: All conditions of preliminary approval (11 /13/08) must be met.
16. COMMENT: While not required for approval, typos were noted and should be
corrected:
a. Sheet C1.0, under Site Date, Source of Boundary note: "Timmons" Group is
spelled incorrectly.
b. Sheet CLO, under General Construction Notes, #1: .... existing public right - "of "-
way is spelled incorrectly.
