Subject: SDP 2012— 00044 CHO Runway 21 Extension - Major Site Plan Amendment
The County of Albemarle Planning Division 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.]
1. [Comment] This proposal has been submitted as a Major Site Plan Amendment, which is effectively a Final
Site Plan. No mechanism exists in the ordinance for the County to approve with conditions a Final Site
Plan. Therefore, if the site plan does not have all necessary approvals to allow signature by the revision
deadline the County will deny your application. You may request that the County defer taking a formal
action on your application. In accord with the provisions of Section 32.4.3.10 a deferred project is deemed
withdrawn if action is not taken within 6 months.
2. [Comment] It appears there have been a series of minor amendments approved for this property, both
before and after the site plan this application is amending (SDP200800087). The previously approved Major
Amendment should have documented all changes /improvements approved on previous minor amendments.
However, it seems that due to the large size of the property, the amendment only documented the proposed
changes under consideration at that time. This current application should document all previously approved
modifications from the original site plan for the property; please include a legible overall site plan for the
entire property indicating all existing or previously approved improvements. Existing improvements should
be clearly differentiated from any that are approved but not yet built as well as those that are currently
proposed. Any improvements that have not yet been submitted for approval by the County and are not
included as part of this application should be removed from the plan sheets. Multiple sheets can be used if
necessary.
3. [Comment] Please clarify exactly what improvements are proposed with this application. The cover sheet
says 'Extend Runway 21 (Phases 2, 3, & 4)', but it appears all three phases are not actually included in this
proposal. The Project Sequencing table seems to indicate only a portion of Phase 4 is proposed.
Additionally, the bubbled 'for review' areas are not the same throughout the plan set; on some sheets the
northern portion appears to include the revised maintenance access road and retaining wall only, while on
other sheets it appears to include portions of two taxiways. Are the taxiways included in this application?
The layer standards used also make it difficult to determine what is existing versus what is proposed with
this application, and perhaps even what is planned for the future. This plan should clearly indicate what is
being submitted for consideration at this time.
4. [32.5.6(a)] As noted above, please clarify which phases(s) are submitted for review and title the plan set
accordingly.
5. [32.5.6(a)] Revise the zoning designation to reflect RA only, no portion of this site is zoned LI.
6. [32.5.6(a)] Please list any proffers or variances previously approved for this site /project.
7. [32.5.6(a)] Provide the magisterial district (White Hall).
8. [32.5.6(a)] Add County information to the cover sheet.
9. [32.5.6(a)] Provide the source of topography.
10. [32.5.6(a)] Provide the source of survey.
11. [32.5.6(a)] When revisions are submitted, provide a date and description of revision specific to submittal to
the County.
12. [32.5.6(a)] Provide the owner, zoning, tax map and parcel number, and present use of adjoining parcels.
13. [32.5.6(a)] Please list the minimum setback and yard requirements.
14. [32.5.6(a)] Please clarify the boundary lines and provide dimensions.
15. [32.5.6(d)] Show areas of the site where existing slopes are twenty -five percent or greater.
16. [32.5.6(f)] Add a note indicating this site is within a water supply protection area.
17. [32.5.6(i)] Provide right -of -way lines, widths, centerline radii and pavement widths for all existing streets.
18. [32.5.60 & 1) & 32.6.6(c)] Provide the location and dimensions of all existing and proposed utility, storm
sewer, and drainage easements in the areas under review. Label any existing easements with Deed Book
and Page Number, and indicate if proposed are to be privately or publicly maintained.
19. [32.5.6(n)] Provide dimensions of all existing and proposed improvements in the areas under review,
including: buildings; walkways; fences; walls; parking lots and other paved areas.
20. [Comment] Engineering review and /or building code may require handrail on the top of the proposed
retaining wall.
21. [Comment] Provide documentation of all necessary off -site easements.
