RE: SP201000001, Earlysville Service Center
Dear Mr. Wyant:
Thank you for your recent application to amend SP200800025 to increase the building size from a
maximum of 5,000 square feet to provide adequate interior space for the service bays. The members of
the County's Site Review Committee have reviewed the development proposal referenced above.
Preliminary comments are included below.
Specifics of Proposal
The applicant is seeking to amend SP200800025 to increase the building size from a maximum of 5,000
square feet.
Planning Division
No objection.
Division of Zoning and Current Development
Although this proposal increases the building size, the area of disturbance is not increased. The travel
aisle width has been reduced to achieve the increased building dimensions. The applicant is proposing
9' wide parking spaces, which requires a 24' wide travel aisle. The revised building dimensions show
that the width of the travel aisles on the east and west sides of the building range from 20' to 24'. If the
applicant increases the parking space width to 10', the travel aisle is only required to be 20' wide. Staff
recommends that the applicant reconfigure the site layout to show 10' parking spaces east and west of
the building, and that the applicant confirm that the minimum travelway width would not drop below
20' at any point. The spaces marked "employee parking" do not require any revision.
County Engineer
No objection.
SP 2010 -01, Earlysville Service Center
Virginia Department of Transportation
No objection.

Building Code Zoning
The concept plan states the building would be 58' x 106', yet the application states the building would
be 56' x 104'. The proposed size of the building needs to be confirmed and accurately shown and stated
on all documents.
A condition of SP200800025 required the construction of a fence along the north side of the proposed
site, and no fence is shown on the revised concept plan.
Fire and Rescue Division
The revised concept plan must comply with the Virginia Statewide Fire Protection Code, and final
approval is subject to field inspections and verification.
Comments from each reviewer reflect information available at the time the development proposal was
reviewed, and should not be considered final. However, the Site Review Committee has attempted to
identify all issues which could effect approval of the proposed project.
If you need additional information or need to discuss any of these comments, please give me a call at
434/296 -5832 x 3029. A copy of the schedule for re- submittal of plans /information/materials is enclosed, for
your convenience. All applications, including review comments, also can be found at the following link:

comments have been addressed.
Sincerely,
Eryn Brennan
