RE: SP- 2010 - 00038, Badger Industrial
Dear Mr. Shimp:
Staff has reviewed your initial submittal for a special use permit to allow fill within the floodplain.
We have a number of questions and comments that we believe should be resolved before your
application for a special use permit goes to public hearing. We would be glad to meet with you on
these issues to discuss them. Our comments are consolidated below:
Current Development
The proposal shows fill within the floodway as computed by FEMA which is not allowed by
ordinance. Please reduce the limits of fill to the approved floodway line or request deferral
of action on this application until the line labeled "Corrected Floodway Line Subject to
FEMA Approval" on sheet 2 is adopted by FEMA.
• Please provide another sheet that shows more of the river upstream, downstream, and
across from the project. Please make sure the floodplain limits (existing and proposed) are
easily decipherable in all areas of this exhibit.
• Please provide the updated project files of the hydrologic model and printouts of the river
cross - sections. Additional comments may be required after a review of these hydraulic
calculations.
• Please add a new cross section 1 00f downstream of the property to analyze the impacts of
the floodplain on the next property. Additional cross - sections may be needed depending
on the results for this point on the river.
• Critical slopes are proposed as being disturbed. It's likely that most of the slopes around
the existing storage area are manmade. However, a waiver of the prohibition to disturb
critical slopes is still required for this work. If the slopes appear on a county approved site
plan, the Chief of Current Development has the ability to approve the waiver. Though, it
appears natural slopes will be disturbed in the stream channel, which requires PC approval.
Please provide a critical slope waiver request and it we will process it with the Special Use
Permit application.
• The plan does not show any stormwater management. Please provide a conceptual
Stormwater Management plan. The applicant may request a detention waiver per 17-
314.G.
SP- 2010 - 00038, Badger Industrial Comment Letter, December 6, 2010
If this fill is authorized by the Board of Supervisors, sediment traps, sediment basins, and
diversions will be required to meet state ESC standards. On the concept plan, please
indicate what further fill within the floodplain will be required temporarily to construct this
plan. The Board should acknowledge the approval of incidental fill in the floodplain for ESC
measures if they decide to authorize the fill.
The fill is proposed over top of an existing stream. Please provide proof from the Army
Corps of Engineers that this work is approvable. Please consider SWM and ESC
measures needed for the development when totaling the stream impacts.
Please provide more detail on the plan with regard to what the filled area will be used for.
Is the area intended as storage or do you intend to place a building in that area?
Planning
Comments have not been received. Comments will be forwarded to the applicant once they are
received.
Zoning (Sarah Baldwin)
• Please identify what the use will be in the "new storage area." If this is additional outside
storage, it may trigger the need for an additional SP for outside storage in the entrance
corridor.
• The critical slopes identified on the plan may require a waiver of section 4.2.
• Please reference the existing SP conditions on the front cover of the plan.
Architectural Review Board (Margaret Maliszewski)
Revise the application plan to show the exact extent of the new storage area and the existing
storage area. Indicate the type and size of items to be stored. If the stored items will be visible from
Route 29, a Special Use Permit for outdoor storage will be required.
Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (Victoria Fort)
No Objection. (See Attachment A)
Albemarle County Service Authority (Unassigned)
Comments have not been received. Comments will be forwarded to the applicant once they are
received.
VDOT (Joel DeNunzio)
VDOT staff has not requested any changes. (See Attachment B)
Albemarle County Fire and Rescue (James Barber)
No Objection. Project must comply with the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code. Final
approval is subject to field inspection and verification.
Special Use Permit Conditions
If staff decides to recommend approval a few conditions may also be recommended, including
receiving a Letter of Map Revision or Amendment from FEMA. Draft language will be forwarded to
you for your review shortly after you resubmit.
Resubmittal or Public Hearing
State law and County ordinance direct that action on a special use permit be taken by the Planning
Commission within 90 days of the date that application was made to the Planning Commission,
unless a deferral is requested. The Board of Supervisors is obligated to take action within 12
SP- 2010 - 00038, Badger Industrial Comment Letter, December 6, 2010
months after the Commission's action. (The date that the application to the Planning Commission
is considered to be made is approximately two weeks after the submittal date.)
We request that, within 27 days from December 3, 2010 you:
• Resubmit in response to these comments on a resubmittal date as published in the project
review schedule OR
• Request that the application be scheduled on a specific Planning Commission public
hearing date in accordance with the Planning Commission's published schedule and as
mutually agreed to by the applicant and the County, OR
• Request indefinite deferral and state your justification for requesting the deferral.
If you resubmit, please provide that resubmittal on the first or third Monday of the month. (These
days are resubmittal Mondays. The full resubmittal schedule may be found at www.albemarle.org
in the "forms" section at the Community Development page.) Please be sure to put my name on
the cover page of your resubmittal. After you have resubmitted, staff will provide a set of written
comments for your review prior to setting a public hearing. In those comments, we will advise you
as to whether all substantive issues have been resolved or if additional resolution is needed.
A public hearing with the Planning Commission will not be advertised until you advise us that the
project is ready to proceed to a public hearing. At that time, the legal advertisement will be run in
the newspaper and a staff report will be prepared to go to the Planning Commission.
Please be advised that, once a public hearing has been advertised, only one deferral prior to the
Planning Commission's public hearing will be allowed during the life of the application. The only
exception to this rule will be extraordinary circumstances, such as a major change in the project
proposal by the applicant or more issues identified by staff, that have not previously been brought
to the applicant's attention. As always, an applicant may request deferral at the Planning
Commission meeting.
Please feel free to contact me if you wish to meet or need additional information. I may be reached
at (434) 296 -5832, x. 3072 or by e-mail: locuster(a)-albemarle.org.

RE: Special Use Permits and Rezoning Submittals
Dear Mr. Fritz:
Below are VDOT's comments for the November, 2010 Rezoning and Special Use Permit applications:
SP- 2010 -00032 Avon Street / Ross / AT &T CV376
Show sight distance on Woodchuck Ln, route 874 in accordance with the VDOT Road Design
Manual Appendix F.
SP- 2010 -00033 Four Seasons Learning Center
According to ITE Trip Generation code 565, 40 students will generate 179 trips per day and 64
students will generate 286 trips per day. Although the increase in proposed traffic does not meet
the TIA threshold for volume alone, the County may want to consider some traffic data for
parking needs or sight lines based on the history of this site.
SP- 2010 -00034 Glenn A. Hall (Scott Clark)
VDOT has scheduled a time to check the sight distance along route 640 at the intersection for
Braxton Road and will send a follow up evaluation of the findings.
SP-2010-00035,00041 Blue Ridge Swim Club (Joan McDowell)
VDOT has met with the applicant to check sight distance at the entrance and some clearing will be
required and a sight line easement may be required. The applicant needs to submit a plat at the
intersection of the entrance to Owensville Road showing the sight lines and any needed easements
for commercial sight distance.
SP- 2010 - 00036, 00037 MonU Park (Scott Clark)
VDOT has previously checked sight distance for this site but at a slightly different location. I
5
SP- 2010 - 00038, Badger Industrial Comment Letter, December 6, 2010
believe that this location will be able to clear and obtain commercial sight distance but I suggest
the applicant request that a VDOT Permit Inspector meet them at the site to ensure the location is
adequate.
Trip generation needs to be shown on the plan.
Left and right turn lane warrants need to be submitted and if either is warranted, they need to be
added to the plan.
SP- 2010 -00038 Badger Industrial (Phil Custer)
No comments
SP- 2010 -00039 Peter Jefferson Overlook Offices (Elaine Echols)
According to ITE code 710 for general office, this site should generate 486 trips per day and 109
trips during the peak hour. This site does not meet the requirements for a Chapter 527 TIA.
An increase in traffic at the intersection of the private road with Route 250 may cause queuing
problems at the eastbound Route 250 left turn lane. An queue analysis should be submitted for
this left turn movement.
SP- 2010 -00040 Clifton Lake (Glenn Brooks)
VDOT Culpeper District Planning has concerns about the private road connection to Milton
causing an increase in cut through traffic within this subdivision to the intersection at Route 250
because of the lack of sight distance. Planning has recommended that the county consider limiting
this connection until such time that the sight distance is corrected at Route 250.
ZMA -2010 00009 Republic Capital (Eryn Brennan)
Recommend that this site ensures that parcel 32 -22N has adequate access to Northside Dr. if the
property is to be developed.
The reference in the proffers to adequate road improvements is very unclear.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Joel DeNunzio, P.E.
