To: Ms. Cheryl Lynn Taylor, Velocitel
From: Scott Clark- Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: October 7, 2013
Subject: SDP2013 -051 Britts Mountain — AT &T Wireless Facility
The reviewing planner for the Albemarle County Department Community Development will
recommend approval of the plan referred to above when the following items 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.
• [5.1.40(a)(4)(e)]: This section requires that the plan include all topography within
2,000 feet of the facility.
• [5.1.40(a)(4)(f)]: On sheet TS -1, there are two arrows that refer to Note 5, and the
arrows point to different items; please correct.
• [5.1.40(a)(4)(f)]: Also on sheet TS -1, the plan refers to driplines within a 25 -foot
radius of the monopole. This should be a 50 -foot radius.
• [5.1.40(a)(4)(f)]: This section requires that all trees whose dripline is within 50
feet of the facility be shown on the plan. It also requires that all trees to be
adversely impacted or removed, regardless of distance, be shown. It does not
appear that all trees within 50 feet of the facility are shown. Please show the trees
or confirm that no other trees are within the radius.
• [5.1.40(d)(5)]: The plan does not specify whether or not the facility impacts
critical slopes. Please show critical slopes on the plan. In particular, I'm
concerned about the steep slope traversed by the access road to the facility.
• [5.1.40(d)(5)]: This section requires that the base diameter of the monopole not
exceed 30 inches. The plan shows a base size of 34 inches.

County Engineer Comments (Max Greene)

WPO plan, Application and fee. the WPO plan will be approved prior to final site plan
approval per chapter 17 of the County of Albemarle Ordinance.
• Plan appears to show critical slope disturbance and will require a critical slope waiver.
• Travelway to facility doews not appear to meet VDOT standards per [18- 32.7.2.2.a, 14-
410]
