Fritz, AICP Division: Current Development Date: October 7, 2011 Subject: SDP - 2011 -63 Cracker Barrel The Planner for the Current Development Division of the Albemarle County Department Community Development will recommend approval of 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 Chapter 18 of the Albemarle County Code.] 1. The Chief of Zoning has determined that the plan as submitted is not in compliance with the proffers of ZMA 1999 -13. His comments are attached. The plan will have to be revised to address this comment. 2. The plan does not show the changes to the Holiday Inn access required by Proffer 3 of ZMA 1999 -13. The plan must be revised to show these changes. This will also require easements from Holiday Inn. If the easements are already in place please provide that information. If the easements are not in place the final site plan will not be signed until the easements are in place. 3. Proffer 7 of ZMA 1999 -13 requires the submittal of a traffic study. The preliminary site plan cannot be approved until the traffic study has been submitted and approved. 4. [32.5.6a] On the zoning information include that the property is subject to ZMA 1999 -13 and SP 2007 -63. (Copies of those approvals are attached.) 5. [32.5.6a] Revise the sheet numbers to include the total number of sheets. Without this information is not possible to verify that a packet includes all the sheets of the proposed project. 6. [32.5.6b] Note the proposed height of the structure. 7. [32.5.6f] Note that the site is not located within a drinking water watershed. 8. [32.5.6b] The parking calculations are for a building that is 8,900 square feet but the notation on the plan shows a building of 8,960. 5,710 square feet is devoted to the restaurant. This requires 74 parking spaces. (13 parking spaces/ 1000 square feet. 13X 5.710=74.23 spaces) The retail area is 3,190 square feet. This requires 32 parking spaces (1 parking space /100 square feet of retail area (80% of gross). 3,190 X .8= 2552/100 =25.52 spaces) This results in a parking requirement of 100 spaces. This calculation needs to be updated on sheets C -1 and C -2. 9. [4.12.4a] The number of parking spaces provided cannot exceed the amount required by more than 20 percent. The required parking is 100 spaces and 139 are provided. You may request a waiver by following the procedures contained in Section 4.12.2(c). 10. [4.12.15g] Provide curbing at the south end of the parking lot. You may request a waiver by following the procedures contained in Section 4.12.2(c). 11. [32.5.6s] On Sheet C2 a digit is missing from the height of the bottom of the wall in the north eastern corner. 12. [32.5.6s] The height of the retaining wall will require fencing or railing or some other means of preventing falls. 13. [32.5.6s] Sheet C3 has numerous features that cannot be identified. They are labeled as G and A and have arrows. The first bay of parking has symbols in them also but no label. What are these features? 14. [32.5.6b] An easement will be required for grading on the Holiday Inn property near the interstate. If the easements are already in place please provide that information. If the easements are not in place the final site plan will not be signed until the easements are in place. 15. A boundary line adjustment will be needed to combine or alter the property lines for Tax Map 76, Parcel 55A and Tax Map 76M1, Parcel 1. The existing lot lines run thru the proposed building. This will require a fire wall in the middle of the building along the property lines and various easements for parking, access and other features. Modifying the parcel boundary resolves these issues. The site plan should note the proposed location of the new parcel lines, or note that the parcels will be combined. Ultimately, a subdivision plat will have to be submitted and approved to actually modify the parcel boundaries. The boundary line relocation does not have to occur prior to preliminary site plan approval. It will have to occur prior to final site plan approval. Because of the significant changes that will need to be made to the plan in order to address proffers this project may be referred back to the site review committee for review.
