Hello Don,
Please consider this e-mail as general, rather specific comments on the Monticello HS parking lot
improvements project. I am unable to review SDP - 2012 -011 Monticello HS Parking Lot Improvements
in full, when different versions are being sent directly to various reviewers and the current submittal
does not reflect the most up -to -date modifications. In the next submittal, please provide 3 copies of
the plan to me for distribution, rather than directly to the remaining reviewers. Otherwise, I have no
way of ensuring that what they see is consistent with what I see. The following general comments
apply to the current submittal, but may or may not apply to the next submittal. The next submittal may
necessitate additional follow -up comments or new comments altogether. New comments, if any, will
likely be to the written schedules and landscaping, if anything has been further modified. Assuming all
is as previously discussed, there may be no need for new comments. References are the Albemarle
County Code.
1. [32.5.6a] Date and Description of Latest Revision. Add a date and description of latest revision
with each resubmittal.
[32.5.6p]/[32.7.9] Landscape Plan. It appears from recent correspondence that engineering
has requested changes in the vicinity of the row of existing shrubbery and the 2 8" Southern
River Birch currently shown to remain. Ensure that [32.7.9] Landscaping is still being met,
especially in light of Engineering comments requesting the removal of some of the landscaping
I had previously reviewed. Be sure to use the required planting list previously provided. For
your convenience, I am re- attaching the required planting list. Also, along the public street
frontage (Mill Creek Drive), only the shrubs that were shown directly underneath the driplines
of existing trees may be removed. This minimal amount of change will be checked in the next
submittal.
3. [32.5.6b] Written Schedules. On the cover sheet, revise the sum figure (acres) for the amount
of land disturbance, the parking area, and the drive isle area to reflect the elimination of
different bid levels.
4. [General Comment] Remove all references to different bid levels, if this is the case, and show
all work in one phase, if this is the case.
5. [General Comment] Remove the Planting Note #11 that was added with Revision #1. All
landscaping is subject to review and approval by the County. Field adjustments are not
permitted. If field adjustments become necessary, review and approval by the County is
required.
6. [General Comment] Waterline easement plats and deeds of easements are being handled
directly by ACSA. I will not be able to stamp, sign, and initial the minor site plan amendment
until ACSA approval is received.
7. [32.7.2.1] No objections have been received from VDOT.
8. [32.7.2.7] Obtain Engineering approval.
