(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.] [20B.7] Sidewalks and Street Trees. Sidewalks and street trees are required in the Downtown Crozet District. The only way to waive this requirement per the ordinance is either 1. VDOT prohibits the sidewalks and street trees. Or 2. Existing utility easements prohibit sidewalks and street trees. Currently, there are no existing utility easements on this property, nor does VDOT prohibit the establishment of the sidewalks and street trees, therefore, we cannot waive this requirement. If a sidewalk and street trees are eventually desired, show the sidewalk and street trees on the plan and bond them until the storm pipe is built. Revl: Comment addressed. 2. [Special Use Permit- SP2008 -009 Conditions] No outdoor exercise area is permitted. Revise the note to state that it is a `walking area' instead. Revl: Comment addressed. 3. [Condition of approval for alternative location of parking] The condition for the waiver to allow an alternative location for the parking was to provide screening in accordance with the Downtown Crozet District requirements and meet Architectural Review Board (ARB) requirements. Show the screening and make an application for ARB review and approval. Revl: Comment addressed. 4. [32.6.6] The letter submitted states that the lighting design is not complete, however if there is proposed outdoor lighting it must be shown on the plan and meet the requirements of 4.17. Otherwise put a note on plan that there is no outdoor lighting proposed. Revl: Comment addressed. 5. [32.5.6(k)] Show the proposed conceptual layout for water and sanitary sewer facilities and storm drainage facilities including storm detention ponds or structures, indicating direction of flow in all pipes and watercourses with arrows. This would include the storm sewer proposed for the Downtown streetscape project at the front and side of the property. Revl: Comment addressed. [32.5.6(1)] Show the location of other existing and proposed utilities and utility easements. Revl: Board of Supervisors will need to approve the easement. Additional Comments: 1. [4.12.16 (d)] Delineation of parking spaces. Please show the striping required for the delineation of the parking spaces on the plan. The bumper blocks are not sufficient alone for the delineation of the spaces. Please contact Megan Yaniglos at the Department of Community Development 296 -5832 ext. 3004 for further information.
