7. For the most southern parking lot, there is a 2' median separating the parking from the travelway.
Please provide, at a minimum, a 3' median.
8. It appears there is a proposed retaining wall. The limits of disturbance will encroach on TMP 45-
100A. Please show the correct limits of grading and limits of disturbance.
9. An approved WPO will be required prior to the approval of the final site plan. Also with WPO
application, an adequate channel analysis from the biofilter shall be shown with adequate outfall
protection.

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.]

scale approved by the agent in a particular case. Please submit plan sets that are printed to scale.
2. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the correct tax map and parcel number in all places where the TMP is listed. An
incorrect TMP is listed under `Legal Reference' and on the parcel itself on Sheet 1.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Add Entrance Corridor (EC) and Airport Impact Area (AIA) to the Zoning information.
4. [32.5.2(e)] Please make sure the existing landscape features are labeled and readable on the existing
conditions and landscape plans.
5. [32.5.20)] Please make sure the existing water and sewer facilities and any easements are shown and are
readable.
6. [32.5.2(k)] Verify that all necessary easements for proposed water, sewer and drainage facilities have been
shown on the plan.
7. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the location of any other existing or proposed utilities and utility easements including

9. [32.5.2(n) &4.12.16(c)5] Dimension the handicapped space and access aisle.
10. [4.12.16(c)6] It appears that two rows of parking have spaces that are reduced to 16' in length. Due to the
scale of the drawing it is difficult to verify if the required unobstructed overhang is provided. Please verify
that a minimum of 2' of unobstructed overhang is shown on the plan.
11. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9)] Please include a plant schedule that includes the sizes of the proposed plant material
in order to verify that the minimum size requirements of 32.7.9.5(c), 32.7.9.5(e), 32.7.9.6(c), & 32.7.9.7(c)
are being met.
12. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.4(b)] Existing trees may be preserved in lieu of planting new plant materials in order to
satisfy the landscaping and screening requirements of section 32.7.9, subject to the agent's approval. If you
intend to use existing trees to satisfy any of the landscape plan requirements, please include the following:
1. Areas and other features shown on landscape plan. The landscape plan shall show the trees to be
preserved, the limits of clearing, the location and type of protective fencing, grade changes requiring
tree wells or walls, and trenching or tunneling proposed beyond the limits of clearing.
2. Conservation checklist. The applicant shall sign a conservation checklist approved by the agent to
ensure that the specified trees will be protected during construction. Except as otherwise expressly
approved by the agent in a particular case, 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.
13. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.6(a)] An area of at least five (5) percent of the paved parking and vehicular circulation
area shall be landscaped with trees or shrubs. Neither the areas of street trees and shrubs required by
sections 32.7.9.5(d) and (e) nor shrubs planted between a parking area and the building shall be counted
toward the minimum landscaped area for a parking lot. Please provide all relevant information to verify this
requirement is satisfied.
14. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.8] The minimum tree canopy requirement is 10 %. It appears this requirement has been
met, but a note should be provided that indicates the square footage of tree canopy required and provided.
Additionally, see comment #12 if this requirement is to be satisfied using existing trees.
15. [32.5.2(r)] Please include all symbols and abbreviations used on the plan in the legend.
16. [Comment] ARB approval required.
17. [Comment] If any off -site easements are required, the easement must be established or a letter of intent to

additional parking may be required.

Subject: Site Review Meeting Comments August 200' Site Review Meeting
Dear Mr. Brooks:
Below are VDOT's comments for items on the August 200i, 2013 Site Review Committee Meeting agenda as
indicated in a memorandum dated July 12, 2013:
SDP201300043 Cole's Import Specialists — Initial Site Plan (Ellie Carter Ray)
1. The site plan needs to be submitted on a standard, full size plan sheet. The reduction has not
provided a standard scale.
2. The proposed entrance does not meet the access management spacing requirements for full access
based on the distance to Berkmar Drive. The entrance will need to be constructed as a right -
in/right -out entrance. In addition, the distance to the nearest commercial entrance to the east of
this entrance should be shown on the plan.
3. The minimum width of a commercial entrance is 30' as indicated in Appendix F of the Road
Design Manual.
4. The curb and gutter of the entrance should match that of Rio Road to the end of radius.
5. The pavement structure of the entrance should match that of Rio Road.
6. The entrance to the site needs to be constructed in accordance with the standard for CG -11 as
indicated in the Road and Bridge Standards.
7. Based on the ADT of Rio Road, the entrance may require at a minimum a taper. An anticipated
trip generation for the site needs to be provided including both the proposed automobile service
facility and the existing dwelling since it appears that the dwelling will remain as indicated on the
site plan.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
