Subject: SDP 2013— 00022 Town and Country Shopping Center — Final Site Development Plan
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)] Add EC (Entrance Corridor) to the Zoning note. Please also document the waiver granted for
disturbance of critical slopes by reference to the approval letter for SDP 201000059 dated August 12, 2011.
2. [32.5.20, k, 1)] Verify that all existing utilities and their associated easements are shown on the plan. This
should include water, sewer, drainage, telephone, cable, electric and gas. Please also provide the deed
book and page reference for any existing easements.
3. [32.5.2(n)] Please show the dumpster enclosures on the site plan sheet and label the height. Provide the
dimensions and maximum height of the retaining wall that runs adjacent to Route 250 on the layout plan.
4. [32.6.2(i)] Extend the parking space striping through the gutter area to the face of curb if the gutter area is
used to obtain the required 18' length space. Dimension all of the travel aisles to verify that a minimum of
24' is provided.
5. [32.6.20) & Comment] Provide notes on the landscape plan documenting how the landscape requirements
are being satisfied.
6. [32.6.20) & 32.7.9.8(a)l] The required tree canopy is 10% of the site area, not 10% of the paved parking
and vehicular circulation area as presented on the Cover Sheet. Please revise and demonstrate that this
requirement is satisfied.
7. [32.6.20) & 32.7.9.8(b)] The canopy numbers provided for the hornbeam and honeylocust are different
than what is shown on the County's approved plant canopy calculations; please clarify. Ilex x `Emily Bruner'
isn't on the list at all; this is an appropriate selection, but please clarify how the canopy number was
calculated. The Thuja, Pfitzer Juniper, and Hoogendorn Holly all provide canopy as indicated on the
county's list; you may include them in your canopy calculation as well.
8. [32.6.20) & 32.7.9.9(b)] Please provide wheel stops in all parking spaces adjacent to landscape areas with
less than 2' between the curb and the landscaping.
9. [32.6.20) & Comment] Many of the proposed plantings appear to have site conflicts. Some are shown in
utility easements and drainage areas. Please move plants into more suitable locations or provide approval
from the associated agency (ACSA, Engineering, etc).
10. [32.6.2(k) & 4.17] Please add the lighting plan to the site plan set and include in the sheet index on the
Cover Sheet instead of having it as a separate set of sheets.
11. [32.6.2(k) & 4.17] Interior parking lot light fixtures that are not in islands should be positioned such that the
poles are located at the intersection of parking space striping. The lighting plan seems to show the poles in
suitable locations, but the fixture positions shown on the layout and landscape plans are slightly different.
Please verify that the poles are located at the intersection of parking space striping and show them in the
same locations on all sheets.
12. [32.6.2(k) & 4.17] It appears that only some of the proposed lighting is shown on the layout and landscape
plans; please show all proposed light fixtures on these sheets to verify that no site conflicts exist.
13. [32.6.2(k) & 4.17] Two of the proposed light fixtures appear to be located in utility easements. Please
relocate the fixtures out of the easements or provide approval from the associated agency.
14. [Comment] It appears that the limit of disturbance extends outside of the property boundary line in several
areas. It also appears that off -site work is proposed within the 30' access easement to Town and Country
Lane. Please provide documentation of all off -site easements.
15. [Comment] This site plan cannot be approved until Engineering, ACSA and VDOT completed their reviews
and grant their approval; comments will be forwarded upon receipt. Fire /Rescue and E911 comments have
been provided. ARB and inspections have completed their reviews and have no objection.
