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 to the
Albemarle County Code.]
1. [32.5.2(a)] Staff has reviewed and approved a Boundary Line Vacation plat to
combine the two church lots (TMP 61 -144 and 61- 146D). To assure this plat has been
recorded; on the site plan provide Deed Book and Page Reference Number of the
recorded plat which facilitated this combination of tax map parcels. This information
shall be captured on sheet 1 under site data, tax map parcel number. Also, assure
sheet 2, Existing Conditions sheet is updated to .reflect appropriate Tax Map Parcels
and most recent recordation information.
2. [32.5.2(i)] The proposed modifications /upgrades to School House Lane depicted on
the approved initial site plan have been omitted from the final site plan. Revise plan
to provide dimensions of the existing entrance and access aisle from Huntington
Road.
[32.7.2.1(a) and Condition of Initial Site Plan approval] The proposed
modifications /upgrades to School House Lane depicted on the approved initial site
plan have been omitted from the final site plan. As such the applicant shall propose an
acceptable physical barrier to disconnect/ prohibit through traffic to the unimproved
road. VDOT has recommended a landscaping strip along the property line /or parking
area at the rear of the site. This may be an acceptable; however, the applicable
solution should also be approvable by Engineering, Planning, and Fire and Rescue.
Please coordinate this aspect of the plan with applicable reviewers.
4. [32.5.2(b), 4.12.6] Per the parking calculations on sheet 1, the parking requirements
for the church are 58 spaces required and 68 paved spaces provided; however, staff
was unable to locate 68 paved spaces. On sheet 3 please number each space on the
plan to assure each space is accounted for.
5. [32.5.2(b), 4.12.61 On the plan please clearly label the limits of the overflow parking
area.

materials in order to satisfy the landscaping and screening requirements of section
32.7.9, subject to the agent's approval. The Tree Canopy calculations provided for the
site appear to be correct; however, in order to qualify the existing trees the applicant
also needs to provide the location and type of protective fencing on the plan, and the
applicant shall sign a conservation checklist to ensure that the preserved trees will be
protected during construction. The checklist shall conform to the specifications in the
Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook, pages III -393 through III -413, and
as hereafter amended. Please note that the conservation plan checklist must be
included in the plan set, not as a separate document. Revise.
10. [32.6.20)] On sheet 7 of 10, in the Plant Schedule and Canopy Values, the size of the
Amelanchier c `autumn Brilliance' Canada Serviceberryis listed as 1.5 — 2" caliper;
however, the County's Approved Plant Canopy List utilizes 6 -7' height to determine
the minimum canopy. Please revise to utilize the correct measurements to allow staff
to count the plantings and assure the correct plant canopy for the plantings.
11. [32.6.20)] On sheet 7 of 10, in the Plant Schedule and Canopy Values, the canopy
provided for Liquidambar styriciflua ` Rotundiloba' is 249 SF per plant; however, the
County's Approved Plant Canopy List the canopy for this tree as 206 SF per plant.
Please revise to utilize the correct canopy. Notably the Liquidambar styriciflua
version of this plant is provided for 249 SF of canopy per plant. Revise.
12. [32.6.20)] On sheet 7 of 10, in the Plant Schedule and Canopy Values Liquidambar
styriciflua ` Rotundiloba' is labeled as LS; however staff is unable to locate the two
plantings. This may be a typographical error and the label should truly be LR as two
plants are located near the new building with such a label. Revise if appropriate.

Re: SDP - 2013 -064 Church of Our Savior — Final Site Plan
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the final site plan for the Church of Our Savior New Annex Building dated
11/22/13 as submitted by Waterstreetstudio and offer the following comments:
1. The sight lines, dimensions of the entrance, and distance to Rio Road should be provided
for the existing entrance onto Huntington Road so that adequacy of the existing entrance
can be verified based on the proposed intensification of the entrance.
2. The intention is that the existing entrance onto Huntington Road be used for access to this
site. As such, there needs to be a physical disconnect between the gravel parking area
and the lane to Rio Road. I would suggest some form of landscaping along the property
line and /or parking area.
3. The site trip generation should be provided including the proposed improvements.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Tro Austin, P.E.
