Re: SDP - 2012 -00064 Briarwood Gas Station — Preliminary Site Plan
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the preliminary site plan for the Briarwood Gas Station dated 11/12/12 with
revisions dated 12117112, 6118113, and 4115114 as submitted by Collins Engineering and offer the
following comments:
1. The corner clearance from Route 29 to Road "A" needs to be shown so that compliance
with Appendix F of the Road Design Manual can be confirmed.
2. The impact of the outfall from the underground detention on the Route 29 drainage needs
to be evaluated and provided for review. Potential erosion and capacity impacts will
need to be provided.
3. Additional right -of -way should be provided along Briarwood Drive to fully include the
sidewalk along Briarwood Drive within the right -of -way.
4. Road "A" should be designed to VDOT standards per County requirements. As such, the
proposed entrances should be modified as described below:
a. The maximum width of each entrance should be 40'.
b. The minimum radius of each entrance should be 25'. The southern side of the
southern -most entrance currently has a 15' radius.
c. The minimum sight distance should be 280' as 25 mph is likely to be the posted
speed limit of Road "A" if it were a public road.
d. The minimum separation between commercial entrances should be 50' between
the ends of radii. The proposed entrance shown on Tract B would likely need to
shift to the south to accommodate this spacing.
5. With the 6 lane road section of Briarwood Drive, I would recommend an additional
cleanout on the sanitary sewer lateral at the toe of slope, behind the sidewalk along
Briarwood Drive.
6. The TIA for the Briarwood Commercial Development calls for an additional left turn
lane on Route 29 traveling north to be added at the traffic signal. This improvement
should be included on the site plan as well as the road plans.
The TIA for the Briarwood Commercial Development calls for modifications of the
traffic signal at the intersection of Briarwood Drive and Route 29. These modifications
will need to be approved by the VDOT Traffic section prior to approval of the site plan or
road plans.
A maintenance of traffic plan for the improvements on Briarwood Drive and Route 29
needs to be added to the site plan as well as the road plans.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.

RE: Preliminary Site Plans (SDP201200064)
1. It appears the topography has been updated after 2012 to show the critical slopes. Please show on
the title page the date and source of topographic information.
[Revision 41 Addressed.
2. Please show signs at both ends of the one way travelway to regulate traffic.
[Revision 41 Site plan has changed. This is no longer necessary.
A WPO for E &S and SWM shall be submitted and approved prior to the approval of the final site
plan.
[Revision 41 Comment not addressed.
4. The landscaping within the 30' vegetation buffer and 20' land use buffer shall match SDP2013-
35.
[Revision 41 Comment not addressed. It appears that the site plan has changed and now the
road encroaches on adjacent property. A note on the title page under setbacks refers to a
waiver that is required if construction activity including grading or clearing of vegetation is
allowed closer than 20' to any residential or rural area district. I will defer to planning on
the waiver requirements. This may be an issue since a portion of the vegetative buffer
between the two properties has changed.
New comments based on changes to the site layout plan. These can all be addressed on the
final site plan.
5. Reduce pavement striping width to increase travelway from 16' to 20'.
6. Our minimum for radius for curbed islands is 31. Please revise the 1' and 2' radius near
bldg.
7. MS -19 was submitted under WP02013 -72. This area was included as DA #2, but there are
still pending comments under that application that have not been addressed. Please address
Engineering Review Comments
Page 2 of 2
and include with WPO submittal for this project.
8. There is a plan to amend the underground detention basin north of site. This review is
pending. Either remove items on plan or label as "Review under WPO application #... and
not proposed on this plan."
9. The road plan for the site is pending. Comments will be sent to applicant.
10. Under our new regulations for managed slopes, the design must meet section 30.7.5 of
Albemarle County Ordinance. The wall west of site appears to have a section that is 14' tall.
11. Walls need ARB approval.
12. Per 32.6.1(e)(5), the wall needs to be dimensioned and shown on a site plan and not a road
plan. Please show top and bottom elevations.
13. Per our policy, retaining wall designs shall be shown on final site plan.
14. There appears to be some contours that can be removed at the entrance. Please clarify.
Sincerely,

Re: SDP2012 -064 Briarwood Gas Station - Preliminary Site Plan
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the Briarwood Gas Station Preliminary Site Plan dated 11/12/12 with revisions dated 12/17/12
and 6118113 as submitted by Collins Engineering and offer the following comments:
1. The corner clearance for the proposed private roads is not shown in accordance with Appendix F of the
Road Design Manual. It appears that the roads will not meet the corner clearance requirement and will
need to either be realigned, or an AM -2 exception request will need to be requested.
2. The sight distance requirement for a 25 mph road is 280 feet, not 200 feet as indicated.
3. The sight lines need to originate from a location that is 14.5 feet from the edge of travel. The sight lines
need to be revised accordingly.
4. While 25' is the minimum radius allowed for the private street connection, the radius required should take
into account the potential need for a vehicle larger than a passenger vehicle. Since this site will provide
gas, it is assumed that fueling trucks will need to be access the site and the radius should accommodate that
size of vehicle.
5. Drainage calculations will need to be submitted with the fmal site plan.
6. The traffic study does not take into account traffic generation of the build -out for the residential
development beyond the private roads. The study does indicate that the opposing and advancing traffic will
increase. An attempt to quantify this in the study should be made and evaluated.
7. The traffic study needs to include trip generation for the proposed private road to the north of Briarwood
Drive.
8. The topography in the area is not level as indicated in the traffic study. A rolling terrain should be used.
9. The default PHF (0.92 - 1.00) should be in the future case according to the TIA guidelines.
10. The analysis results reported in the tables list queue values that exceed capacity and should be evaluated
using the average of multiple SimTraffic runs (minimum 10 runs) reporting the Average Maximum Queue.
11. The two proposed private roads should line up with each other perpendicularly.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.

RE: Preliminary Site Plans (SDP201200064)
1. Not all critical slopes are shown on the existing conditions plan. After conducting a site visit, it
appears there are critical slopes located on the center of the property. Also, there are two sediment
traps installed within and near this critical slope area. Please clarify how the sediment and erosion
control measures will not impact the Briarwood Gas Station project. The western portion of the site has
already been graded and flattened out. I have attached an approved plan for the Briarwood Subdivision
and it does not show the installed sediment traps and grading along the western portion of your site.
Please clarify. Also, please revise your existing topo to show critical slopes described above.
2. Please fix the hatching on the curb ramp on SW of property on the Layout and Utility plan. Also,
provide curb ramps where the private road meets Briarwood Drive.
3. There appears to be a curb inlet on the single access lane. Please show how this connects to the system.
If it needs to be removed, please remove.

Chris,
I have reviewed the subject plan and have the following comments:
I have not yet received the left turn lane warrants for the entrance off of Briarwood Dr.
The minimum corner clearance is setback is 225 feet. This plan has a corner clearance of 191 feet. Previous comments
also requested a queue length to ensure that the queues would not block the entrance. This data needs to be submitted
to ensure the minimum 225 corner clearance is outside the queue lengths.
3. Curb ramps need to be constructed at the connection to Briarwood Dr.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks

[Comment] As shown the gas station is to be on a 2.06 acre lot, in order for this site to be
developed as shown a subdivision of the property must take place. Please submit the required
subdivision plat, application and fee for review and approval by the Community
Development office. Prior to approval of the site plan the subdivision plat shall be approved
and recorded. The deed book page number of the recorded subdivision shall be provided on
the site plan. Additionally any other property information which is modified due to the
division shall be revised/updated on the plan.
(Rev 1.) Please see comment # 11 below, as it provides detailed guidance on the order of
operations for the site to be developed with the subdivision and private road
2. 118- 32.5.6(d), 32.5.3, and 4.2] The plan indicates impacts to critical slopes. Thus a critical
slope waiver needs to be requested/applied for. Provide the request and all required
information including the $425 fee for staff to revi thi, que Approval by the BOS is
required before the final site plan can be approved. Rev 1. Waiver being processed.
[Comment] The applicant shall pay the required notification fee of $602.76 prior to the
project moving forward. Staff notified the applicant on November 15 of the requirement of
the fee and the amount which shall be paid prior to the SRC meeting. The applicant did not
pay the fee prior to the meeting, thus comments were withheld till the meeting. Along with
the resubmittal of the plan provide the notification fee mentioned above. No further review
will occur until the fee has been paid. Rev 1. Comment Addressed
4. [18- 32.5.6(a)] On the plan provide the owner of the property abutting Rte 29 and the
2.06 acres for the site. The subject piece of land is 65' wide and fronts Rte 29, it

twice; both on sheet 2 and what should be sheet 3. Rev 1. Comment Addressed.
9. 118- 32.5.6(b) &4.12.16(a)] Parking calculations for the site need to be revised to utilize the
appropriate calculations for the use. The appropriate calculations are: 1 space per 200 gross
floor area. As currently depicted it appears this would calculate out to 18 spaces required.
Revise proposal to depict the required spaces. Please also note that the area adjacent to a gas
pump does not qualify as a parking space. Demonstrate that the required parking is provided
on the plan. Rev]. Comment Addressed.
10. [18- 32.5.6(i)] As shown there are three entrances /exits to the site. On the plan provide traffic

14 -412B. The private road request will need to meet the requirements of Section 14 -234.
After the subdivision and road plan has been reviewedlapproved and recorded the site plan
shall depict the private road and then the site plan can be approved (provided all other site
plan requirements have been met).
Option 2: Move forward with the site plan I" and submit a road plan for review / approval
of the private road that meets county Private Road Standards which will be required at the
time of division. Provided that all other requirements of the site plan have been met the site
plan can be approved. After which the applicant would come back and apply to subdivide
the lot, apply for the private road request per Section 14- 234 ... and then show the approved
private road on the plat.
Option 3: Move forward with the site plan I" and design the road to meet county Travel
Way Standards. Provided all other requirements of the site plan have been met the site plan
can be approved. After which the applicant would apply to subdivide the lot, apply for the
private road request to meet the requirements of Section 14 -234 and provide road plans for

should also be noted in the general notes section along w/ the other setback requirements.
Rev 1. Waiver being processed.
18. [18- 32.5.6(s)] On the plan clearly label and show the limits of disturbance. This item is being
requested to aid staff in determining if the 20' buffer mentioned above is being disturbed. As
shown on the plan it appears grading is occurring in the 20' buffer zone mentioned above,
however no such grading shall occur in that area. If the 20' buffer is to be disturbed,
including grading, then a waiver will be required per section 21.7(c)l.
Rev 1. Waiver being processed.
19. [18- 32.5.6(s)] On the site plan provide a diagram for Fuel Truck Turning Movements. This
information will aid in staff review of daily operations of the site.

- A landscape plan in accordance with [Sec. 32.7.9]. Rev 1. To be completed at final site
plan stage.
New Comments
21. [4.12.17c(1)] Two -way access aisles. The minimum travelway width for two -way
access aisles shall be twenty (20) feet. As depicted the travelway towards the South
of the gas pumps (near the new property line) is 18' in width. Please revise to assure
this is a minimum of 20'.
22. [Comment] It appears that the road name for `Elm Wood Court" is incorrectly
labeled on the plat, as this road is truly named: `Elm Tree Court ". Please correct this
minor off sight typographical error on the final site plan for consistency purposes.
ARB Comments — Margaret Maliszewski
1. This site falls within the Route 29 North Entrance Corridor. Consequently, ARB
review /approval is required prior to final site plan approval. ARB applications, checklists and
guidelines are available on -line at www.albemarle.org /arb. Please note in particular the guidelines
related to lighting, landscaping and fuel pump canopies.
VDOT Comments — Joel DeNunzio
1. VDOT has not yet received the left turn lane warrants for the entrance off of Briarwood Dr.
The minimum corner clearance is setback is 225 feet. This plan has a corner clearance of 191
feet. Previous comments also requested a queue length to ensure that the queues would not block
the entrance. This data needs to be submitted to ensure the minimum 225 corner clearance is
outside the queue lengths. Curb ramps need to be constructed at the connection to Briarwood Dr.

From: Christopher P. Perez- Senior Planner
Division: Zoning & Current Development
Date: December 3, 2012
Subject: SDP201200064 Briarwood Gas .Station - Preliminary Site Plan .
The Planner for the Zoning & Current Development Division of the Albemarle County
Department Community Development will recommend approve 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.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the
Albemarle County Code.]
[Comment] As shown the gas station is to be on a 2.06 acre lot, in order for this site to be
developed as shown a subdivision of the property must take place. Please submit the required
subdivision plat, application and fee for review and approval by the Community
Development office. Prior to approval of the site plan the subdivision plat shall be approved
and recorded. The deed book page number of the recorded subdivision shall be provided on
the site plan. Additionally any other property information which is modified due to the
division shall be revised /updated on the plan.
2. [18- 32.5.6(d), 32.5.3, and 4.2] The plan indicates impacts to critical slopes. Thus a critical
slope waiver needs to be requested /applied for. Provide the request and all required
information including the $425 fee for staff to review this request. Approval by the BOS is
required before the final site plan can be approved.
[Comment] The applicant shall pay the required notification fee of $602.76 prior to the
project moving forward. Staff notified the applicant on November 15 of the requirement of
the fee and the amount which shall be paid prior to the SRC meeting. The applicant did not
pay the fee prior to the meeting, thus comments were withheld till the meeting. Along with
the resubmittal of the plan provide the notification fee mentioned above. No further review
will occur until the fee has been paid.
4. [18- 32.5.6(a)] On the plan provide the owner of the property abutting Rte 29 and the
2.06 acres for the site. The subject piece of land is 65' wide and fronts Rte 29, it
appears this may be part of the right -of -way. If so, more clearly denote this
information on the plan.
5. [18- 32.5.6(a)] Provide north point arrow on all sheets (sheet 3 is missing this item),
and provide departing lot lines.
6. [18- 32.5.6(a)] On sheet 1 please add the following: `Entrance Corridor Overlay' to the
zoning classification for the site. Additionally being this site is located in the EC, ARB
review /approval is required prior to final site plan approval. See ARB conmzents from
Margaret below.
7. [18- 32.5.6(a)] On sheet 3 assure the adjacent parcel TW32G -A .owner information is
correct. As it appears there are two separate owners labeled for the same parcel.
8. [18- 32.5.6(a)] Assure the sheet numbers are correctly labeled, currently "sheet 2" appears
twice; both on sheet 2 and what should be sheet 3.
9. [18- 32.5.6(b) &4.12.16(a)] Parking calculations for the site need to be revised to utilize the
appropriate calculations for the use. The appropriate calculations are: 1 space per 200 gross
floor area. As currently depicted it appears this would calculate out to 18 spaces required.
Revise proposal to. depict the required spaces. Please also note that the area adjacent to a gas
pump does not qualify as a parking space. Demonstrate that the required parking is provided
on the plan.
10. [18- 32.5.6(i)] As shown there are three entrances /exits to the site. On the plan provide traffic
directional arrows for traffic movement. Also, for the first entrance /exit to the site from
Briarwood Drive please provide the width of the road on the plan (it appears to be 18 ) and
depict the directional arrow(s) for traffic pattern.
11. [18- 32.5.6(i)] Is the proposed road serving the site to be public or private or some alternative?
Provide this information on the plan.
12. [18- 32.5.6(i)] The parking spaces are labeled as 18' in length, to accurately reflect this
measurement revise the stripping for the parking spaces to continue into the gutter to the front
of the curb.
13. [18- 32.5.60)] On the plan provide the existing sewer easements which cross the site. Per plat
recorded DB690 Pg299 there is an existing 20' sanitary sewer easement across the lot in the
location of the proposed improvements. Assure all existing water and sewer easements are
shown.
14. [18- 32.5.6(n)] How will waste /trash from the facility's daily use be disposed? Is there
to be a dumpster onsite? If so, on the plan depict where the dumpster pad will go and
how it will be screened. Also, for the dumpster pad assure it extends a minimum of 8'
beyond the front of the dumpster. [18- 4.12.19]
15. [18- 32.5.6(n)] Indicate the dimensions and height of the gas canopy structure. Also provide
the height the of the 3,500 SF building. Does the site propose to have a loading space? If so,
provide the location and dimension of the loading space.
16. [18- 32.5.6(q)] Due to the nature of the facility and the intensity of the development, on the
plan please provide traffic generation data for the site based upon current VDOT rates, to
include the estimated vehicles per day and direction of travel for all connections to the public
road.
17. [18- 32.5.6(r)1 and 21.7e] On sheet 1, general note "setbacks ", add the required setback as
described in section 21.7c "Buffer zone adjacent to residential and rural areas districts. No
construction activity including grading or clearing of vegetation shall occur closer than
twenty (20) feet to any residential or rural areas district. Screening shall be provided as
required in section 32.7.9. " This setback is currently depicted on the plan as existing, but it
should also be noted in the general notes section along w/ the other setback requirements.
18. [18- 32.5.6(s)] On the plan clearly label and show the limits of disturbance. This item is being
requested to aid staff in determining if the 20' buffer mentioned above is being disturbed. As
shown on the plan it appears grading is occurring in the 20' buffer zone mentioned above,
however no such grading shall occur in that area. If the 20' buffer is to be disturbed,
including grading, then a waiver will be required per section 21.7(c) 1.
19. [18- 32.5.6(s)] On the site plan provide a diagram for Fuel Truck Turning Movements. This
information will aid in staff review of daily operations of the site.

RE: Preliminary Site Plans (SDP201200064)
1. There is an existing 20' sanitary sewer easement (DB 690•pg 299)'located on your proposed'site..This
information was found in Subdivision Plat SUB200900120. Confirm and provide easement location
on your site plan: If vacated, please clarify.
2 The outfall for your stormwater is a temporary sediment basin previously proposed for the Briarwood
subdivision, which is located north of your site. This temporary basin will need to be converted to a
permanent pond for your site drainage. If that is the case, coordinate the construction of the pond with
Briarwood Subdivision erosion & sediment control plan, since it will serve both sites. If the proposed
pond is not available, provide SWM within your site's property lines.
3: Show the WPO and Flood Plain Buffer Limits.
4. Show the critical slopes on the site plan and request for a critical slopes waiver.
6. On the site plans, provide the frontage road name and speed limit. Are the frontage road and
Briarwood Drive public or private? [32.4.5] VDOT approval is required for all public roads.
7. There are three proposed entrances to the site. I recommend removing the road closest to Briarwood
Drive. Per VDOT standards, this entrance does not meet a minimum spacing of 50' between entrance
radii.
8. Please refer to the .VDOT Road Design Manual for commercial entrance dimensions for the two
recommended entrances. The entrance throat lengths for the unnamed frontage road are unsafe and I
recommend removing two parking spaces near the entrance. Provide, at a minimum, 35' in length for
the entrance throat. This will increase the median depth. The radii dimensions at the entrances are
below VDOTs standards. Provide a plan with the turning path for the largest vehicle entering the site. '
(Use a WB -40 Design Vehicle).
9. 1 recommend conducting a traffic impact analysis to determine if a "left turn only lane" is warranted
for both the unnamed frontage road and Briarwood Drive due to future developments west of proposed
gas station.
10. Show the loading dock location.

RE: SDP - 2012 -64 Briarwood Gas Station—Site Plan- preliminary
Dear Sir:
The Agent for the Board of Supervisors hereby grants administrative approval to the above
referenced site plan.
This approval shall be valid for a period of five (5) years from the date of this letter, provided that
the developer submits a final site plan for all or a portion of the site within one (1) year after the
date of this letter as provided in section 32.4.3.1 of Chapter 18 of the Code of the County of
Albemarle, and thereafter diligently pursues approval of the final site plan.
An Erosion and Sediment Control Permit may be issued after the following approvals are
received:
1. Approval an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan meeting the requirements of Chapter 17
of the Code of the County of Albemarle.
2. Approval of a Stormwater Management Plan meeting the requirements of Chapter 17 of
the Code.
3. Approval of all easements for facilities for stormwater management and drainage control.
4. Approval of a mitigation plan and approval of Special Exception as described in Section
21.7(c).
The final site plan will not be considered to have been officially submitted until the following
items are received:
1. A final site plan that satisfies all of the requirements of section 32.6 of Chapter 18 of the
Code.
2. A fee of $1,500.
Please submit (12) copies of the final plans to the Community Development Department.
The assigned Lead Reviewer will then distribute the plans to all reviewing agencies. Once you
receive the first set of comments on the final site plan, please work with each reviewer
individually to satisfy their requirements. Provide proof of each reviewer's tentative approval
once received. The Lead Review will notify you when it is time to submit copies for signature.
The final site plan will not be approved until the following conditions are met:
The Department of Community Development shall not accept submittal of the final site plan for
signature until tentative approvals for the following conditions have been obtained:
Planning Division Approval of. Q Copies are required to be submitted for review)
1. [32.6] A site plan meeting all the requirements of section 32.6 of Chapter 18 of the Code.
2. [32.5.3(a)] This application was reviewed against Site Development Plan requirements only.
Any subdivision related comments are provided for reference only unless necessary for final
site plan approval. Prior to final site plan approval the final subdivision plat and road plan
serving the commercial lots shall be approved by the County, and the plat recorded in the
Clerk's Office. The deed book page information of the recorded plat shall be provided on the
final site plan.
[32.5.2(n) & (i)] As proposed a portion of the private road is taking place on the adjacent
residential parcel zoned PRD, specifically within the 30' vegetative buffer on the residential
parcel and within the area of the 20' undisturbed buffer between the residential and
commercial zonings. As you know the property owner was sited for violations of the above
two areas by the Zoning Department for unauthorized disturbance of these areas. The
applicant is currently working to remedy the site plan violation of the 30' vegetative buffer
through a mitigation plan (SDP2013 -35). Prior to final site plan approval the mitigation plan
must be approved by the County, to include ARB, Planning Staff, and Zoning staff.
Also, the applicant is attempting to remedy the disturbance of the 20' undisturbed buffer
through a special exception as described in Section 21.7(c). The applicant intends to utilize
the mitigation plan described above as an exhibit to take to the Board of Supervisors for
review /approval. Prior to the special exception going to the Board of Supervisors the
proposed plantings in the mitigation plan must be approved by ARB, Planning staff, and
Zoning staff. Prior to final site plan approval the applicant shall receive approval of the
mitigation plan, and receive the Board of Supervisors approval of the special exception. If all
the above have been satisfied then the plantings shall be provided on the final site plan's
landscaping plan.
Staff is concerned with the current proposal, as the entrance to the site relies entirely on the
above approvals. Notably the road as currently depicted relies heavily on retaining walls, staff
is apprehensive about the applicant providing the required plantings as described above on
these retaining walls. Verification will be required prior to final site plan approval that the
retaining walls can sustain the required plantings weight and that the plantings root systems
will not jeopardize the integrity of the walls.
4. [32.7.2.1, 32.5.2(m), 32.5.2(n), 32.7.9.7] Vehicular Access to the Site. The final site plan
for the gas station shall include the private road which is to serve the site, to include
the right -in- right -out portion of the private road which accesses Rte 29. This
requirement is being predicated by the TIA which relied on the right -in- right -out to
disperse traffic from the site.
Also, the road plan depicts an above ground stormwater management facility near the right -
in- right -out portion of the private road, which serves as the road's stormwater. Because the
road is required to serve the gas station, and the stormwater facility is visible from Rte 29, the
stormwater facility shall be screened per 32.7.9.7. The required landscape screening shall be
provided on the landscape plan of the final site plan.
5. [32.5.2(a) & (n)] General information. The adjacent parcel, north of the site, is labeled on the
site plan as Tract B, TMP 326 Parcel 1, Zoned C -l; however, the GIS and previously
recorded plats depict this land as TMP 032GO- 08- 00- OOOAO, Open Space, Zoned PRD.
Revise.
6. [32.5.2(a), (n) & (i)] General information. As discussed above a portion of the private road is
taking place on the adjacent residential parcel TNT 032GO- 08- 00- OOOAO. As such this parcel
shall be listed on the site plan. Throughout the site plan revise to include the adjacent parcel
information, such as: owner information, tax map parcel number, and zoning.
7. [32.5.2(i)] All proposed off site easements will need to be submitted as a plat and be recorded
prior to approval of the final site plan.
8. [32.5.2(n)] Proposed improvement. The road serving the site is proposed to be private. The
applicant has chosen to move forward with the subdivision of commercial lots and the road
plan for review/ approval of the private road that meets county Private Road Standards
pursuant to Section 14 -412B. The private road request will need to meet the requirements of
Section ' 14 -234. After the subdivision and road plan has been reviewed /approved and
recorded the site plan shall depict the private road and then the final site plan can be approved
(provided all other site plan related requirements have been met).
9. [32.5.6(i), 4.12.17(c)(1)] Proposed improvement. Two way vehicle access aisles are required
to be 20' minimum. The plan proposes access ways of varying widths, such as 16' and 18'.
This is not adequate. Revise to provide for the required 20' minimum for all two way
accesses.
10. [32.5.2(n), 4.12.19(c)] Screening. Dumpsters shall be screened as required by section 32.7.9
and, where applicable, section 30.6 Assure the dumpster is appropriately screened. On the
final site plan provide the material used in the enclosure and the height of the enclosure.
11. [32.5.2(n)] Proposed improvement. On sheet 3, the plan depicts a thatched area adjacent to
the 6 parking spaces fronting the building. On the site plan label this improvement.
12. [32.5.2(n)] Proposed improvement. Sheet 1, general notes, under retaining walls, there is a
note which reads: "no retaining walls are proposed ". The proposal utilizes retaining walls.
The note shall be revised /removed on the final site plan. Also, the engineering details for the
retaining walls shall be provided in the final site plan.
13. [32.5.2(n)] Proposed improvement. Dimension the full width of the retaining walls required
for construction.
14. [32.5.2 (n)] Proposed improvement. What kind of walls are the retaining walls? Are they
block/redi -rock walls, geogrid? Provide this information on the plan. Will these retaining
walls be able to support the required plantings discussed above in comment #3? Prior to final
site plan approval documentation shall be provided that proves the required landscaping can
be supported by these walls.
15. [32.5.2 (n)] Proposed improvement. On the plan provide the limits of disturbance for the
proposal, to include the area to construct these walls, and the private road.
16. [32.5.2 (m) & (n), 4.12.17(b)] Proposed Egress. "Entrances to parking areas from public
streets or private roads shall be designed and constructed in accordance with Virginia
Department of Transportation standards... " VDOT approval shall be required.
17. [32.5.2 (n)] Proposed improvement. Indicate the height of the gas canopy structure. Also
provide the height the of the gas station building. Does the site propose to have a loading
_____ _ space? If so,_provide the location and dimension_ of the _loading space.
18. [32.5.2(m), 14- 422(D) & 32.7.9.51 Planting Strip. Dimension the sidewalks and the plantings
strips. Planting strips are required to be a minimum of 6' in width. If the applicant wishes to

19. [32.5.2(1)] Existing and proposed utilities. Provide the location of any existing utilities and
utility easements including telephone, cable, electric and gas.
20. [32.5.2(p)] Landscape plan. When the landscape plan is provided assure that the proposed
plantings are outside of existing and proposed easements or provide proof of authorization
from the easement holder.
21. [32.5.2(e)] Landscape plan. Show the utilities on the landscape plan to ensure that plantings
are not occurring overtop of easements or pipes.
22. [32.5.2(e), 32.7.9.4(c)] Existing landscape features. The site has a small stand of existing
trees onsite; however, none of these trees are depicted on the existing conditions sheet. Depict
these trees on existing conditions sheet of the plan. If they are to be removed, on the plan
depict this.
23. [32.5.2 (b) & (n)] Information regarding proposed use. Assure that the proposed size of the
building is correct throughout all sheets of the site plan. As sheet 1, under general notes,
Existing/ Proposed Use and Impervious Area for the building lists 3,600 SF building;
however, sheet 3 provides for a 50'x74' building, which is 3,700 SF. Revise.
24. [32.5.2 (b) & (n) & 4.12.2(a)(3), 4.12.4(a)] Maximum number of parking spaces. Sheet 1,

1. It appears the topography has been updated after 2012 to show the critical slopes. Please show on
the title page the date and source of topographic information.
[Revision 4] Addressed.
2. Please show signs at both ends of the one way travelway to regulate traffic.
[Revision 4] Site plan has changed. This is no longer necessary.
3. A WPO for E &S and S WM shall be submitted and approved prior to the approval of the final site
plan.
[Revision 41 Comment not addressed.
4. The landscaping within the 30' vegetation buffer and 20' land use buffer shall match SDP2013-
35.
[Revision 41 Comment not addressed. It appears that the site plan has changed and now the
road encroaches on adjacent property. A note on the title page under setbacks refers to a
waiver that is required if construction activity including grading or clearing of vegetation is
allowed closer than 20' to any residential or rural area district. I will defer to planning on
the waiver requirements. This may be an issue since a portion of the vegetative buffer
between the two properties has changed.
New comments based on changes to the site layout plan. These can all be addressed on the
final site plan.
5. Reduce pavement striping width to increase travelway from 16' to 201.
6. Our minimum for radius for curbed islands is 3'. Please revise the 1' and 2' radius near
bldg.
7. MS -19 was submitted under WP02013 -72. This area was included as DA #2, but there are
still pending comments under that application that have not been addressed. Please address
i

Engineering Review Comments
Page 2 of 2
and include with WPO submittal for this project.
8. There is a plan to amend the underground detention basin north of site. This review is
pending. Either remove items on plan or label as "Review under WPO application #... and
not proposed on this plan."
9. The road plan for the site is pending. Comments will be sent to applicant.
10. Under our new regulations for managed slopes, the design must meet section 30.7.5 of
Albemarle County Ordinance. The wall west of site appears to have a section that is 14' tall.
11. Walls need ARB approval.
12. Per 32.6.1(e)(5), the wall needs to be dimensioned and shown on a site plan and not a road
plan. Please show top and bottom elevations.
13. Per our policy, retaining wall designs shall be shown on final site plan.
14. There appears to be some contours that can be removed at the entrance. Please clarify.

Re: SDP - 2012 -00064 Briarwood Gas Station — Preliminary Site Plan
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the preliminary site plan for the Briarwood Gas Station dated 11/12/12 with
revisions dated 12/17/12, 6/18/13, and 4/15/14 as submitted by Collins Engineering and offer the
following comments:
1. The corner clearance from Route 29 to Road "A" needs to be shown so that compliance
with Appendix F of the Road Design Manual can be confirmed.
2. The impact of the outfall from the underground detention on the Route 29 drainage needs
to be evaluated and provided for review. Potential erosion and capacity impacts will
need to be provided.
3. Additional right -of -way should be provided along Briarwood Drive to fully include the
sidewalk along Briarwood Drive within the right -of -way.
4. Road "A" should be designed to VDOT standards per County requirements. As such, the
proposed entrances should be modified as described below:
a. The maximum width of each entrance should be 40'.
b. The minimum radius of each entrance should be 25'. The southern side of the
southern -most entrance currently has a 15' radius.
c. The minimum sight distance should be 280' as 25 mph is likely to be the posted
speed limit of Road "A" if it were a public toad.
d. The minimum separation between commercial entrances should be 50' between
the ends of radii. The proposed entrance shown on Tract B would likely need to
shift to the south to accommodate this spacing.
5. With the 6 lane road section of Briarwood Drive, I would recommend an additional
_ _ cleanout on—the—sanitary sewer lateral_ at-the-toe-of slope, behind the sidewalk along__
Briarwood Drive.
6. The TIA for the Briarwood Commercial Development calls for an additional left turn
lane on Route 29 traveling north to be added at the traffic signal. This improvement
should be included on the site plan as well as the road plans.
7. The TIA for the Briarwood Commercial Development calls for modifications of the
traffic signal at the intersection of Briarwood Drive and Route 29. These modifications
will need to be approved by the VDOT Traffic section prior to approval of the site plan or
road plans.
8. A maintenance of traffic plan for the improvements on Briarwood Drive and Route 29
needs to be added to the site plan as well as the road plans.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.

Memorandum
To: Scott Collins
From: Christopher P. Perez- Senior Planner
Division: Zoning & Current Development
Date: July 19, 2013
Subject: SDP201200064 Briarwood Gas Station - Preliminary Site Plan
The Planner for the Zoning & Current Development Division of the Albemarle County
Department Community Development will recommend approve 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.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the
Albemarle County Code.]
[Comment] As shown the gas station is to be on a 2.06 acre lot, in order for this site to be
developed as shown a subdivision of the property must take place. Please submit the required
subdivision plat, application and fee for review and approval by the Community
Development office. Prior to approval of the site plan the subdivision plat shall be approved
and recorded. The deed book page number of the recorded subdivision shall be provided on
the site plan. Additionally any other property information which is modified due to the
division shall be revised /updated on the plan.
3hn4Lh
(Rev 3) Comment still relevant, >see comment # 11 below. Notably the subdivision plat
(SUB2013 -43) is still under review and may require modifications. The subdivision plat
and the site plan should match with regard to lots.
2. [1S- 32.5.6(d), 32.5.3, and 4.21 The plan indicates impacts to critical slopes. Thus a critical
slope waiver needs to be requested /applied for. Provide the request and all required
information including the $425 fee for staff to review this request. Approval by the BOS is
required before the final site plan can be approved. s ?.ev= .1 , 'a ver' -..R =, p-! 'o. °e-S - >,
(Rev .3) The critical slopes waiver is being processed and is being held until the waiver
for the 20' landscape buffer is ready to go to the Board of Supervisors for action. It is
planned that both of these items will go to the Board at the same time. Please resubmit a
revised mitigation plan (SDP2013 -35) for review. Please note that this item shall be
taken care of prior to approval of the preliminary site plan as proposed the site is
dependent on the waiver.

1. This site falls within the Route 29 North Entrance Corridor. Consequently, ARB
review /approval is required prior to final site plan approval. ARB applications, checklists and
guidelines are available on line at www.albemarle.org /arb. Please note in particular the guidelines
related to lighting, landscaping and fuel pump canopies. As currently drawn, the preliminary plan
does not meet the EC Guidelines.

Re: SDP2012 -064 Briarwood Gas Station - Preliminary Site Plan
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the Briarwood Gas Station Preliminary Site Plan dated 1 1112112 with revisions dated 12147:12
and 6118113 as submitted by Collins Engineering and offer the following comments:
1. The corner clearance for the proposed private roads is not shown in accordance with Appendix F of the
Road Design Manual. It appears that the roads will not meet the comer clearance requirement and will
need to either be realigned, or an AM -2 exception request will need to be requested.
2. The sight distance requirement for a 25 mph road is 280 feet, not 200 feet as indicated.
3. The sight lines need to originate from a location that is 14.5 feet from the edge of travel. The sight lines
need to be revised accordingly.
4, While 25' is the minimum radius allowed for the private street connection, the radius required should take
into account the potential need for a vehicle larger than a passenger vehicle. Since this site will provide
gas, it is assumed that fueling trucks will need to be access the site and the radius should accommodate that
size of vehicle.
5. Drainage calculations will need to be submitted with the final site plan.
6. The traffic study does not take into account traffic generation of the build -out for the residential
development beyond the private roads. The study does indicate that the opposing and advancing traffic will
increase. An attempt to quantify this in the study should be made and evaluated.
7. The traffic study needs to include trip generation for the proposed private road to the north of Briarwood
Drive.
8. The topography in the area is not level as indicated in the traffic study. A rolling terrain should be used.
9. The default PHF (0.92 -1.00) should be in the future case according to the TIA guidelines.
10. The analysis results reported in the tables list queue values that exceed capacity and should be evaluated
using the average of multiple SimTraffic runs.(minimum 10 runs) reporting the Average Maximum Queue.
11. The two proposed private roads should line up with each other perpendicularly.
