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. [32.5.2(a)] Please dimension the boundary lines that are shown on the plan.
2. [32.5.2(a)] Provide a note on the cover sheet regarding the critical slope waiver that was approved with the
preliminary site plan. It was associated with SDP1995 -00053 and was approved on July 11, 1995.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Add the names of the owners, zoning district, tax map and parcel number, and present use of
the abutting residential parcel.
4. [32.5.2(a) & 21.7] Add a reference in the 'Setbacks' information to the required 20' undisturbed buffer
between commercial and residential districts. Show this line on the site plan and note whether or not
disturbance of this buffer is proposed. If disturbance is proposed, a waiver will be required. If disturbance is
not proposed, please move the `limits of disturbance' line outside of the required buffer.
5. [32.5.2(b)] Provide the maximum square footage of the subject building.
6. [32.5.2(b)] Note the maximum amount of impervious cover on the site.
7. [32.5.2(d)] It appears that the proposed critical slope disturbance is in an area covered by the waiver
granted with the preliminary site plan. Due to the critical slope disturbance, and the conditions associated
with the waiver, a WPO application must be submitted; please coordinate with Engineering to determine
what is required.
8. [32.5.2(f)] Provide the name and location of the adjacent watercourse.
9. [32.5.2(h)] The flood plain line shown does not match County GIS; please verify and show the correct
location of the flood plain limits. The stream buffer should also be shown if it extends beyond the flood
plain.
10. [32.5.2(n)] Please dimension all proposed walkways, walls, and concrete pads.
11. [32.6.2(g)] Show any existing public utility and drainage easements; if new easements are proposed, they
should be noted as dedicated to public use.
12. [32.7.9.4(b)] When existing trees /plants are to be preserved in lieu of planting new materials in order to
satisfy landscaping and screening requirements the landscape plan shall indicate the trees to be saved;
limits of clearing; location and type of protective fencing; grade changes requiring tree wells or walls; and
trenching or tunneling proposed beyond the limits of clearing. In addition, a completed and signed
conservation checklist must also be included on the plan. This is required to show that the 20' undisturbed
buffer will be maintained.
13. [Comment] This site plan cannot be approved until ACSA and VDOT complete their reviews and grant
their approval. Engineering comments have been provided. Inspections, fire /rescue, and ARB have
reviewed the plan and have no objections.
