1. This new tower location and proposed easement with connection to Route 20 appears to require a
new entrance. The applicant will need to apply for a Land Use Permit from VDOT.
2. The permit application will require enough detail to determine the location on Route 20 and show
adequate sight distance along with the dimensions and materials for the entrance.
Resubmittal or Public Hearing
Within 30 days of the date of this letter, please do one of the following:
(1) Resubmit in response to these comments on a resubmittal date as published in the project review
schedule (the full resubmittal schedule may be found at www.albemarle.org in the "forms" section at the
Community Development page), OR
(2) Request a public hearing be set with the Planning Commission based on the information provided
with your previous submittal (a date will be set in accordance with the Planning Commission's published
schedule as mutually agreed to by you and the County), OR
(3) Request indefinite deferral and state your justification for requesting the deferral. (Indefinite
deferral means that you intend to resubmit /request a public hearing be set with the Planning Commission
after the 30 day period.)
If we have not received a response from you within 30 days, we will contact you again. At that time, you
will be given 10 days to do one of the following: a) request withdrawal of your application, b) request
deferral of your application to a specific Planning Commission date as mutually agreed to with staff, or c)
request indefinite deferral and state your justification for requesting the deferral. If none of these actions
is taken, staff will schedule your application for a public hearing based on the information provided with
your original submittal.
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.
Sincerely,
Scott Clark
Senior Planner, Planning Division
