RE: SDP201400023 Keswick Golf Maintenance Facility — Minor Amendment
Dear Ms. George:
Your Minor Amendment application has been reviewed. In order for the amended site plan to be
approved the following revisions are required:
1. [32.5.1b] Revise the scale to 1 inch equals 20 feet and orient the plan so that the top of the
sheet is approximately north or east.
Rev1: Comment addressed - exception granted allowing for scale of 1 inch = 30 feet and
allowing bottom of sheet to be approximately northeast.
2. [32.5.2a] Include descriptions and conditions of previously approved special use permits relating
to this site. This facility was permitted via SP 95 -12, SP 92 -58 and SP 86 -03.
Rev2: Comment addressed
3. [32.5.2b] Indicate the use of the proposed structure and total square footage. Also include a
parking schedule showing the required parking and provided parking (including handicapped
parking). The approved plan shows 29 spaces and the proposed plan appears to show 28 spaces
(it is not clear) but the note indicates there will be no loss of parking.
Rev2: Comment addressed
4. [32.5.2f and 32.7.9.4b] Show existing landscape features and any proposed changes to existing
features. An area of at least 5% of the paved parking and vehicular circulation area shall be
landscaped with trees or shrubs within or around the parking lot. Please provide all relevant
information to verify this requirement is satisfied.
Rev2: Comment addressed
5. [32.6.2j & 32.7.9.8] The tree canopy requirement for this site is 10 %; if existing trees are to be
used to satisfy this requirement, provide relevant information to verify this requirement is
satisfied.
Rev2: Comment addressed.
6. [32.5.2n] Show existing and proposed lighting, if any.
Rev 2: The cut sheet and the photometric plan show two different lamp lumens for the
proposed light (3,000 on cut sheet and 3,200 on photometric plan). Based on the wattage and
type of lighting the 3,200 figure is likely more accurate. A lamp which emits 3,000 or more
maximum lumens is required to be a full cutoff fixture (per section 4.17.4); therefore you must
either use a light of less than 3,000 lumens or use a full cutoff fixture.
7. [Comment] Show and label the stream buffer limits on the site.
Rev1: Comment addressed
8. [Comment] For minor site plan amendments the Planner's signature is all that is required. You
may delete the other reviewers from the approval panel.
Rev1: Comment addressed
9. [Comment] This amendment cannot be approved until Inspections, Engineering, and ARB
complete their reviews and grant their approval. Inspections, ACSA, and ARB have reviewed the
plan and have no objections. Engineering approval is needed.
Staff has provided references to provisions of Chapter 18 of the Code of the County of Albemarle. The
Code is kept up to date by the County Attorney's office. The Code may found on the County Attorney's
website which may be found under "Departments and Services" at Albemarle.org.
In accord with the provisions of Section 32.4.3.5 of Chapter 18 of the Code if the developer fails to
submit a revised final site plan to address all of the requirements within six (6) months after the date of
this letter the application shall be deemed to have been voluntarily withdrawn by the developer.
