From: Christopher P. Perez, Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: March 13, 2014
Subject: SDP201400011 Jim Price —Minor Amendment
Fax 434 - 972 -4126
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. [4.17, 32.6.2(k) 32.5.2(n)] Lighting. Upon thorough review of all previously approved site plans associated
with this site including the most recently approved SDP97 -001, SDP94 -62 and LOR #1 12 -2 -11, SDP94 -41,
SDP89 -97, SDP89 -70, SDP -416, SDP -288, it appears that the lighting physically existing onsite and
depicted on the site plan currently under review has never been approved by the County in its current form.
To include the type of lights, the number of lights, and the location of the lights for the majority of the site.
The lighting that is onsite is lighting that appears to match that which was depicted on SDP2003 -26 (minor
amendment from 4 -23 -2004) however this plan was never approved. Notably the subject of that minor
amendment was not to alter or expand lighting rather it was to expand the rear portion of a garage building
which was not visible from the EC and as such ARB never reviewed this plan. The current site plan under
review cannot be approved until the ARB and Planning have reviewed and approved the lighting for
the site. Provide a full lighting plan for the entire site for review. If the applicant can provide an
approved /signed site plan which depicts the lighting as shown please do so for staff's review /consideration.
The Zoning Department has been notified of the issue and should this plan not be resubmitted they shall
decide how to handle the violation.
2. [30.6.3(a)(2), 24.2.21 Display Area. As previously discussed this site does not have the required Special
Use Permit to have Outdoor Display Area within the Entrance Corridor, the site has been permitted to
continue operating without gaining this SP as long as they do not increase /modify their display area from
what was previously approved by the County. The amount of outdoor display area depicted on the plan
is not consistent with approved site plans for the site. The area of concern is located at the Rte 29
southbound entrance to the site where the display area wraps around the planting strip directly in front of the
proposed 800 SF building addition. To my knowledge this display area has never been approved by the
County and this plan attempts to increase the display area to the site. If you have a recent signed approved
site plan which depicts itplease provide itfor staff's review /consideration. If increasing the display area is
the applicant intent a Special Use Permit will be required prior to approval of the plan. Otherwise remove
Also, during a recent site visit it was observed that the facility is currently utilizing this space as outdoor
display area; however, this is not permitted and shall cease. The Zoning Department has been notified of the
issue and they shall decide how to handle the violation.
3. [30.6.3(a)(2), 21.7(a), 24.2.21 Display Area Also, during the same site visit mentioned above it was
observed that there are four (4) vehicles for sale on display within the front yard (grassed area fronting Rte
29) of the property. There are also two (2) vehicles for sale on display which are lined up along the
landscape strip of the southernmost entrance to the site. This, is not permitted in the front yard setback, nor
the entrance to the site and shall cease. The Zoning Department has been notified of the issue and they shall
decide how to handle the violation.
4. [30.6.3(a)(2), 21.7(a), 24.2.21 Display Area. On the site plan label the Display Area Parking which is
Existing (previously approved on a site plan) and Proposed (existing onsite without being depicted on an
approved site plan or proposed with this plan). As discussed any Proposed display area will require a
Special Use Permit.
Also, on the plan provide dimensions and square footages for all outdoor display areas. To avoid confusion
please provide a chart on the plan which lists each outdoor display area's square footage and the total
amount for the site. Currently page 3 has a total; however it is not broken out and hard to track/follow.
5. [32.6.20), 32.7.9, 32.5.2] Landscaping. As previously discussed at the pre application meeting, on the plan
provide a complete landscape plan for review. On this plan clearly distinguish between proposed and
previously approved landscaping. On the plan depict all previously approved landscaping. Currently the
landscape plan provided does not depict all previously approved landscaping. If some of the previously
approved landscaping is dead or has been removed, these plantings or comparable alternatives will be
required to be replanted in their stead.
6. [32.6.20), 32.7.9, 32.5.2] Landscaping. On sheet 3, under Landscape Requirements the project area for the
site is listed as 49,337SF. How was this number calculated? Please provide a breakdown /chart of each item
which is being utilized to calculate this number. Revise.
7. [32.5.2(b), 32.6.2(i)] Parking. To assess the parking requirements of the site, for the existing dealership
building provide the square footages of each of the uses in the building. Currently page 3 has a total;
however it is not broken out for the building. Providing the use breakdown will help staff assess the parking
required for the site.
8. [32.5.2(b), 4.12.6] Parking. During a recent site visit it was observed along the rear of the property that
there is substantially more parking than is currently shown on the plan for Employee Parking and Service
Parking. Specifically on the southern boundary of the property near the grade changes fronting Berkmar
Drive. If these spaces are to remain as parking they need to be depicted and labeled on the plan and
reviewed by the County. Revise.
9. [4.12.6, 4.12.161 Parking. Spaces for customers shall be clearly delineated on the ground, signed and
maintained for customers only. The nine (9) customer parking spaces at the entrance to the existing
dealership building were previously approved with striping and must continue with said striping. During a
recent site visit it was observed that the spaces are not striped or the striping has worn off,- regardless these
customer spaces are required to be striped. Revise plan to provide striping and remove the note about these
spaces being unlined. Also, the eight (8) customer parking spaces on the side of the existing dealership
building are depicted as unstriped; however, these too were previously approved with striping and shall be
striped. Revise.
10. [32.5.2(b), 4.12.61 Parking. On the plan six (6) proposed spaces fronting the 800 SF addition are not
labeled. Are they for customers? If they are intended for customers please label these spaces as such, if they
are for display parking please label them as such. Revise.
11. [30.7.5, 32.6.1(e6), 32.5.2(n)] Managed Slopes. On the plan 591 SF of pervious area is to be removed and
regraded. This area is made up of Managed Slopes as defined by the March 5, 2014 BOS changes to the
critical slopes portion of the ordinance (Section 30.7.5 adopted on 3- 5 -14). Disturbance to these slopes is
permitted by right provided that design standards listed in 30.7.5 are satisfied to mitigate the impacts caused
by the disturbance of the slopes. Please consult with Engineering staff to assure design standards are being
met with the proposal Their approval of this item shall be required.
Also, on the plan label what is proposed to take place in this area? Is it to be paved? Is it to be used for
vehicle access, or pedestrian access? Revise to clarify. Also, provide accurate dimensions for this area: how
wide is it, how deep is it?
12. [32.6.1(e6), 32.6.2(i), 32.5.2(n), 4.12, 4.12.16, 4.12.17] Existing and proposed improvements. On the plan
provide dimensions for all Existing and Proposed improvements. To include dimensions for aisle widths and
dimensions for customer parking spaces, and all other existing and proposed improvements onsite. Revise.
Also, staff noted that at the rear of the property adjacent to the Bay Doors for the new facility the one way
access aisle is not 19' throughout its entire length and in a couple places was measured at 16' wide. On the
plan assure the dimensions for this aisle are provided.
13. [Comment] The proposed 9,357 SF maintenance building appears to utilize bay door construction which
allows trucks to be driven through the building. If that is the case please label the bay doors on the front of
the building. Revise.
14. [4.12.13(e)] Each site plan that depicts a commercial or industrial building of four thousand (4, 000) gross
square feet or more shall provide a dumpster pad that does not impede any required parking or loading
spaces, nor any pedestrian or vehicular circulation aisles. Is there already a dumpster pad onsite, if so,
please locate and label it on the plan. If there is not one currently onsite, one shall be provided with this
addition.
15. [32.6.1(e6), 32.5.2(n)] Existing and proposed improvements. On the plan, at the rear of the property around
the proposed building there is a proposed retaining wall depicted and listed as max height 6'. To avoid
confusion assure each item's (fence and retaining wall) height is listed separately. Staff is unsure to what
item this height is for: the fence or the retaining wall. Revise.
16. [32.6.1(e6), 32.5.2(n)] Existing and proposed improvements. On the plan there is a proposed fence next to
the New Pervious Area of 228 SF. On the plan include the heights and type (material) of this fence. Revise.
17. [32.5.2(n)] Existing and proposed improvements. On the plan in the footprint of the new building there is a
light pole. On the plan assure it is noted that this light pole will be removed. Revise.
18. [32.5.20), 32.6.2(d)] Along the property's frontage of Seminole Trail is an existing water line. Is there an
easement associated with this line, if so provide it on the plan. Also, on the plan provide all easements on
the property, including all water and sewer line easements running throughout the property. Assure the
dimensions are shown and whether they are to be publicly or privately maintained.
19. [32.5.2(n)] Existing and proposed improvements. On the plan directly adjacent to the 1,780SF structure
which is to be removed there appears to be an overhang/wooden deck which is remaining. Why is this

Re: SDP - 2014 -00011 Jim Price Automotive - Minor Amendment
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the minor site plan amendment for Jim Price Automotive dated 213114 as submitted by
Dominion Engineering and offer the following comments:
1. The existing trip generation for the site and the proposed trip generation for the site need to be
added to the plan. The number of trips generated by the site will certainly increase as a result of
the service facility being added to the site. The warrant for a dedicated right -turn lane for the
entrances needs to be evaluated.
2. The existing entrances do not meet the access management spacing requirement for partial access
entrances. An AM -E exception form needs to be completed and submitted for consideration of
approval.
3. The existing storm sewer under Berkmar Drive should not be connected to a private, enclosed
storm sewer system. There are a couple of apparent options to this situation:
• A private grate inlet could be installed so that the outfall runoff from the Berkmar storm
sewer would drain to the new private inlet. This option may require the proposed
maintenance building to be shifted on -site so that there is adequate space to capture the
runoff.
• The existing storm sewer could be evaluated to see if there is a way to connect the
existing grate inlet on the west side of Berkmar Drive to the existing drop inlet to the
north of the grate inlet on the west side of Berkmar Drive. The capacity and adequacy of
the downstream storm sewer along Berkmar would need to be evaluated in addition to the
physical ability to make the connection.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me;.
