From: Megan Yaniglos- Senior Planner

Date: February 9, 2010
Subject: SDP - 2010 -004- Commonwealth Townhouses- Major Site Plan Amendment
The Planner for the Zoning & 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. [32.7.9.7 (b)] The proposed dogwood tree near the building cannot be counted towards
the interior landscaping requirement. Provide two additional large or medium shade trees
for the parking lot interior landscaping requirement.
2. [32.5.6 (n)] The parking space closest to the dumpster pad cannot be counted as a parking
space since the dumpster has doors that swing in and out and will block the parking
space. Revise the parking lot to include an additional parking space or reconfigure the
dumpster area.
3. [32.7.9.8] The detail for the dumpster calls for a chain -link fence, not a wooden
enclosure. The dumpster needs to be screened per the requirements in Section 32.7.9.8.
4. [4.2] A new critical slopes waiver will need to be requested and approved by the planning
commission. The critical slopes that are being disturbed in this amendment are different
from the ones that were proposed and approved to be disturbed with the original site plan.
5. [32.7.9] The Maple street tree that is closest to the entrance is directly on the waterline.
Revise so that the tree is not over the waterline.
