Fax 434 - 972 -4126
The County of Albemarle Division of Current Development Planner will recommend approval of the plan
referenced above once the following comments 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, which is to the
Subdivision /Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
Comment Omitted
At the May 3, 2012 legal meeting it was determined by the Zoning Administrator through discussions
with the County Attorney that the 2' overhang is permitted in the 10' parking setback, thus the above
comment is no longer applicable. An official determination of these findings is being written up and will
be provided to the file at a later date. This revised comment letter will serve as a note in the file to
document the findings till the official determination is completed.
2. [Comment] The landscaping (IG: Inkberry Holly) fronting the parking spaces will need to be pushed back
two (2) feet to account for and accommodate the two (2) foot overhang.
3. [18- 32.5.7 & 17 -403] A Tier III Groundwater Assessment is required to be completed before the final site
plan can be approved. Since the previous review /comment letter was sent the fee schedule has been
modified, the current Tier III fee is $510, please submit the fee and the assessment. The County Engineer/
Engineering Department will be your contact for this requirement.
4. [18- 22.2.2.11] Special Use Permit. On sheet 1, under Site Specifics, note #8 depicts "Water usage not to
exceed 400 gal Per Day." However, a Special Use Permit (SP2008- 00033) was approved for this site on
Dec 3, 2008 and is still valid pursuant to State Code 15.2- 2209.1. This SP allows the use of more than 400
gallons of groundwater per site -acre per day for the convenience store. Revise note #8 to depict the above
information on the plan.
5. [18- 32.5.6r] After a recent site visit it appears that the existing conditions on site do not match those that are
depicted throughout the plan, such as: Existing Building to be removed, Existing Gas Canopy to be
removed, and an Existing Freezer Unit ... etc. Also, it appears that the realignment of Route 22 and
Luckstone Entrance have been completed, whereas on the plan these are labeled as "proposed ". Please
verify/ certify that the existing conditions are accurate as shown or revise the plan to show current conditions
of the site.
6. [18- 32.5.6(a)] There seems to be some discrepancy between County records and the plan in terms of
adjacent owners, specifically TMP 79 -7 being owned by Rivanna LLC c/o Charles Luck and TMP 79 -19
being owned by Charlottesville & Albemarle Post 74. Please verify and revise if needed.
7. [18- 32.5.6(a)] On sheet 1 please add the following: `Entrance Corridor Overlay' to the zoning classification
for the site.
8. [18- 32.7.9] Numbers in plant schedule do not match those on the plan. Sheet 6, the plant list depicts 126
Inkberry Holly, however there appears to only be 125. Please correct.
9. [18- 4.12.16(a)] Parking. On sheet 1, under Site Data, for Parking Required 16 spaces are listed. For
Parking Provided there are 19 spaces listed. After having reviewed the plan 15 spaces are adequately
depicted. The two parallel parking spaces titled: "Employee Overflow Parking" are not permitted because
they are located in the drive aisle and will impede traffic flow. Assure these are removed and parking
calculations revised. Also for parking spaces that are under the canopy, please depict the location and
dimensions of these on the plan for review. At a minimum 1 additional space needs to be adequately
located on the plan to assure the site meets the minimum required parking of 16 spaces.
10. [18- 32.5.6a] Assure the plan has at a minimum the most recent revision date listed on it.
11. [Comment] Previously on sheet 5 an easement to construct the septic drainfield was depicted on TMP 79-
7. Why has this been removed from the current plan? Without the easement how does the applicant
propose the septic drainfields be installed?
12. [Comment] Sheet 9, Fuel Truck Turning Movements, the diagram of the site's entrances do coincide with
the rest of the plan, specifically the triangle separating the lanes. The diagram depicts the triangle on Route
22; however the rest of the plan sites it as being on Route 250. Please revise to assure the diagram is
consistent with the plan.
13. [Comment] On sheet 4 it appears that the last of the ten (10) parking spaces did not print out on the plan.
Assure this is depicted on the revised plan.
14. [18- 32.7.9.8] Screening The plan references Architectural Drawings for the dumpster enclosure and an
associated stone wall; however, no Architectural Drawings are provided. Please provide these drawings as
a part of the plan for our review to assure that they meet the screening requirements of the ordinance. Also,
on the plan please list the height of the dumpster enclosure/ stone wall which is surrounding the dumpster.
15. [18- 32.7.9.9] Tree Canopy. Sheet 6, Tree Canopy Calculation, Required Canopy Calculations: it appears
that the calculations as shown on the plan are incorrect and need to be revised. The Site Area is listed as
0.59 acres but should include the entire site, thus the Site Area should be 1.18 acres. The chart incorrectly
credits "open space ". As it appears on this plan, there is no true "open space" as defined by section 18 -4.7,
thus this acreage cannot be deducted from the Site Area.
The Required Canopy = 10% of 1.18acres = 5,140 SF
Please revise.
16. [18- 32.7.9.9] Tree Canopy. Sheet 6, Tree Canopy Calculation, Proposed Canopy Calculations: it appears
that the tree types and quantity used in these calculations are not the tree types nor quantities used in the
Plant List for the site. Specifically, Prunus Laurocerasus is not utilized in the Plant List, nor is Quercus
Palustris. Assure the chart is revised to match the Plant List.
17. [Comment] Sheet 6, Note #14 references "Pin Oaks ", which is a type of tree that is not utilized in the Plant
List for the site. Revise this note to apply to the applicable tree or remove it completely.

18. [18- 32.7.9.4(b)] The included Conservation Checklist must be signed and dated.
19. [18- 32.5.6(1)] Please provide location specifics for utility easements, for existing easements including Deed
Book references.
20. [18- 32.5.6i] Sheet 1, Site Specifics, note #6 lists "All storm drainage easements to be dedicated to Public
Use" and sheet 5 has a note on the plans "Proposed permanent drainage slope easement for maintenance
of pipe, outlet ditch and slope." Has the storm drainage easement on TMP 79 -7 been finalized/ set to record
during the Luckstone Entrance and Route 22 Realignment? If not, provide the deeds for these easements;
these will be forwarded to the County Attorney for review and approval.
21. [Comment] Sheet 9, the cut sheet for "Street Light Pole Technical Data" is unreadable (extremely blurry)
and needs to be revised.
22. [Comment] Sheet 12 does not match the sheet index description on sheet 1, previous submittals of the plan
provided Building Retaining Wall schematics on this sheet, currently these schematics are not provided.
Why has the Building Retaining Wall schematic been removed? Has the existing Retaining Wall been
approved by the County?
23. [ARB Comments] ARB review of the lighting plan has requested revisions to the lighting plan (see
Margaret Maliszewski's comments below). Please include these revisions to the site plan.
Sheet 6:
• An area near the southeast corner of the site is hatched. Previous plans indicated the hatched area was
to be planted with Liriope, but Liriope has been deleted from the Plant List. Revise the plant list to
include the Liriope that was previously proposed.
• Notations identify details on sheet 11 that actually appear on sheet 12. Update the notations.
Sheet 7:
• Include on the plan the cut sheets for each proposed light fixture.
• Update the luminaire schedule to show the LLF as 1.0.
• Revise and update the photometrics using the 1.0 LLF.
• Clarify the max 90.6 fc identified in the statistics table.
24. [Health Department Comments] The Health Department (Bill Craun) has requested the applicant send
updated engineering plans for their review. The site's P/R septic system needs to be approved by the Health
Department prior to final site plan approval. Once approval is received please provide documentation for our
records.
