Megan,
I have reviewed the subject rezoning application and have the following comments:
1. 1 received the traffic analysis I requested from the applicant. The recommended frontage improvements
as shown in the study can be included in the amendment to the site plan if the county approves the rezoning.
2. Any entrances that do not meet the Access Management Spacing requirements will have to be relocated
or the applicant will have to apply for a spacing exception.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
Joel

RE: ZMA 2011 - 00008, Three Notch'd Center- Application Plan Amendment
Dear Ms. Higgins:
Staff has reviewed your initial submittal for an amendment to the rezoning plan for the
property at Three Notch'd Center (ZMA2007 -006). We have a few questions and comments,
which are listed below:
Planning
This is an amendment to an existing rezoning plan (ZMA2007 -006). Comments below are
provided on the specific changes to the plan.
Planning Comments
1. The proffers need to be updated to include reference to the latest application plan and
date.
Zoning
The following comments related to zoning matters have been provided by Francis MacCall:
Provide a new parking analysis since there was one done for reduction of spaces for the
previous rezoning. The new building takes up a number of spaces that were part of the final
approved plan.
Current Development
1. A more complete and legable plan should be submitted. It is difficult to identify how the
circulation will work on the existing site.
Engineering and Water Resources
The revised rezoning plan and application to add a car wash to this site have been reviewed.
The following items have been identified concerning the rezoning amendment;
ZMA 2011 - 00008, Three Notch'd Center, First Comment Letter, Jo Higgins- January 20, 2012 2
Off -site easements or letters of permission from the owner of TM56A3 -7 are needed in
order for this plan to be accomplished. Drainage releases and stormwater management
are on the other parcel.
2. A travelway connection is recommended to the Albemarle Storage LLC site, in order to
consolidate entrances on the public road.
3. It is noted that the stormwater basin on the Albemarle Storage site may require
modifications to serve this site as proposed.
4. It is recommended that additional water quality measures be proffered beyond what
might normally be required through the Water Protection Ordinance.
5. Previous zoning reviews of this development have looked at left turn requirements on
Rt. 240. Turn lane improvements would improve the safety and capacity along this
corridor.
6. This plan revision does not appear to provide the minimum information recommended
by the Planning Commission and the Board in the past. It is recommended that a more
complete and legible plan be provided.
VDOT
1. Route 240 is functionally classified as a Rural Minor Arterial. VDOT records indicate that
the road is 35 mph but it is posted at 25 mph.
2. The required spacing for a full access commercial entrance at 25 mph is 355 feet and 35
mph is 470 feet. It appears that there is enough frontage on Route 240 to meet the
spacing requirements.
3. The increase in traffic from this proposed use is 166 VPH in the peak hour. A right and
left turn lane analysis needs to be provided for review in accordance with Appendix F of
the VDOT Road Design Manual.
ASCA /RWSA
See attached comment letter.
Proffers
The proffers that were signed before will need to be updated to reference the new application
plan and plan date.
Action after Receipt of Comments
After you have read this letter, please take one of the actions identified in the attachment
"Action After Receipt of Comment Letter."
Resubmittal
If you choose to resubmit, please use the attached form. There is no fee for the first
resubmittal. The resubmittal date schedule is provided for your convenience.
Notification and Advertisement Fees
ZMA 2011 - 00008, Three Notch'd Center, First Comment Letter, Jo Higgins- January 20, 2012
Recently, the Board of Supervisors amended the zoning ordinance to require that applicants
pay for the notification costs for public hearings. Prior to scheduling a public hearing with the
Planning Commission, it appears that these fees have already been paid:
$ 220.80 Cost for newspaper advertisement
$ 203.29 Cost for notification of adjoining owners (minimum $200 + actual postage /$1 per
owner after 50 adjoining owners)
$ 424.09 Total amount due prior to Planning Commission public hearing
Prior to the Board of Supervisor's public hearing, payment of the newspaper advertisement for
the Board hearing needed.
$ 220.80 Additional amount due prior to Board of Supervisors public hearing
$ 644.89 Total amount for all notifications Fees may be paid in advance. Payment for both the
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors public hearings may be paid at the same time.
Additional notification fees will not be required unless a deferral takes place and adjoining
owners need to be notified of a new date.
Feel free to contact me if you wish to meet or need additional information. My phone number
is (434) 296 -5832, x. 3438, and my email address is: myaniglos @albemarle.org.

To be paid after staff review for public notice:
Most applications for Special Use Permits and Zoning Map Amendment require at least one public hearing by the Planning Commission
and one public hearing by the Board of Supervisors. Virginia State Code requires that. notice for public hearings be made by publishing
a legal advertisement in the newspaper and by mailing letters to adjacent property owers. Therefore, at least two fees for public notice
are required before a Zoning Map Amendment may be heard by the Board of Supervisors. The total fee for public notice will be
provided to the applicant after the final cost is determined and must be paid before the application is heard by a public body.

RE: Special Use Permits and Rezoning Submittals
Dear Mr. Fritz:
Below are VDOT's comments for the December, 2011 Rezoning and Special Use Permit applications:
SP- 2011 -00029 Verizon Wireless, Tier III PWSF (Christopher Perez)
1. This modification to an existing tower does not require a permit from VDOT since it will access through an
existing driveway.
SP- 2011 -00031 Greenbrier Emergency Animal Hospital (Joanne Purtsezva)
1. The estimated increase in traffic for this use is 50 to 60 VPH in the AM and PM peak hours. It is not clear
whether this is an increase in traffic or just a change to a new use that will have no net effect on traffic.
ZMA- 2011 - 00008, 00009 Three Notched Center (Megan Yaniglos)
1. Route 240 is functionally classified as a Rural Minor Arterial. VDOT records indicate that the road is 35
mph but it is posted at 25 mph.
2. The required spacing for a full access commercial entrance at 25 mph is 355 feet and 35 mph is 470 feet. It
appears that there is enough frontage on Route 240 to meet the spacing requirements.
3. The increase in traffic from this proposed use is 166 VPH in the peak hour. A right and left turn lane
analysis needs to be provided for review in accordance with Appendix F of the VDOT Road Design
Manual.
ZMA- 2011 -00010 Albrecht Place (Claudette Grant
1. ITE trip generation estimates that this use will generate 3400 vehicles per day on weekdays and 4700 VPH
on Saturdays.
2. This site does not meet the threshold for traffic to require a Chapter 527 Traffic Impact Study. This site
will generate a volume of traffic that will impact surrounding intersections on route 29 and other side roads
and it is recommended that the county require some type of traffic impact analysis for this proposed use.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Joel DeNunzio, P.E.

Memorandum
From: Glenn Brooks, County Engineer
Date: 5 Jan 2012
Rev. 1: 5 Mar 2012
Subject: Three Notched Center (ZMA201200008)
The revised rezoning plan and application to add a car wash to this site have been reviewed. The
following items have been identified concerning the rezoning proposal;
1. Off -site easements or letters of permission from the owner of TM56A3 -7 are needed in order for this
plan to be accomplished. Drainage releases and stormwater management are on the other parcel.
Rev. 1: The applicant has said this was done with the site plan.
2. A travelway connection is recommended to the Albemarle Storage LLC site, in order to consolidate
entrances on the public road.
Rev. 1: This remains as a recommendation.
3. It is noted that the stormwater basin on the Albemarle Storage site may require modifications to serve
this site as proposed.
Rev. 1: This remains as pertinent information.
4. It is recommended that additional water quality measures be proffered beyond what might normally be
required through the Water Protection Ordinance.
Rev. 1: This remains as a recommendation.
5. Previous zoning reviews of this development have looked at left turn requirements on Rt. 240. Turn
lane improvements would improve the safety and capacity along this corridor.
Rev. 1: This remains as a potential impact. Full- frontage improvements as requested by VDOT with
the site plan may provide room for a mixed use lane in the far future. As a direct impact of the zoning
increase, the possibility of turn lane warrants being met should be considered.
6. This plan revision does not appear to provide the minimum information recommended by the Planning
Commission and the Board in the past. It is recommended that a more complete and legible plan be
provided.
Rev. 1: This comment remains. As a caution, the parking and circulation patterns should not be
considered approved as part of this plan, as the plan is too small to assess details. The one -way
circulation pattern does not appear practical, and the parking directly adjacent to the building will
create a sight distance problem.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Megan Yaniglos, Senior Planer
FROM: Margaret Maliszewski, Principal Planner
RE: ZMA- 2011 -008: Three Notch'd Center Car Wash Amendment
DATE: December 29, 2011
I have reviewed the submittal for the above referenced application and I have the following comments:
Although the car wash location is proposed behind an existing building, clear views of the car wash from
the EC will be available during Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the project. The applicant has indicated that the
view of the car wash will be completely blocked when Phase 3 (the western building) is completed.
However, views of the car wash will still be available at the western entrance into the site, and possibly
from vantage points west of the site (for approximately 400') at the completion of Phase 3. Also, there is
no established timeframe for the construction of the office /retail buildings. Consequently, the Phase 1
and 2 visibility can't be considered temporary.
The applicant has indicated that the car wash exterior will be designed with the materials that were
approved by the ARB for the Three Notch'd Center buildings. This is a good first step toward establishing
compatibility, but additional measures will be required to establish an appropriate appearance for this
car wash in the EC. Typical car wash structures can incorporate elements that do not have an
appropriate appearance, such as but not limited to:
• a functional form and appearance with no reference to historic architecture
• materials with an unfinished appearance
• overly bright and glaring lighting
• extensive equipment, often with bold colors, signs and illumination
It is anticipated that an ARB - approvable design will exhibit a balance of required car wash features
positioned for reduced visibility, EC- compatible architectural features (forms, materials and details), and
screening elements. Because the appearance of the car wash is unknown at this time, it is
recommended that the revised concept plan include:
Additional designated landscape areas on the south, east and west sides of the car wash site
(even if the plants would have to be moved to accommodate future development phases)
A designated location, not visible from the EC, for equipment (vacuum machines, vending
machines, etc.)
3. An appropriate statement regarding the intended amount, character and intensity of lighting
associated with the car wash structure and site
ARB review and approval of the site plan amendment (building and site design) will be required prior
to final site plan approval. The applicant has indicated that 18 parking spaces will removed from the
plan to accommodate the car wash, and the square footage of the office /retail buildings will be
reduced to offset the lost parking spaces. Changes to the architectural design of the office /retail
buildings to accommodate the reduced square footage should be included in the ARB site plan
amendment submittal.
