be feasible, it is recommended that additional screening plants be added along the western boundary
of the parcel.
Rev1: Comment addressed.

provide the information requested above regarding preserving existing trees in lieu of planting new
plant material. If necessary to meet the 10% requirement, please also provide the tree canopy

from adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public roads and property in
residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one -half foot - candle.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
41. [Comment] This amendment cannot be approved until all comments from the Site Review
Committee (SRC) have been addressed. Any comments not available at the time of the SRC
meeting will be forwarded once received.
Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. Engineering and Fire /rescue have reviewed the SDP and

Re: SDP - 2014 -00014 Crozet Water Treatment Plant
Dear Ms. Ray:
We have reviewed the site plan for the Crozet Water Treatment Plant GAC Upgrades dated
5115114 as submitted Hazen and Sawyer and offer the following comments:
1. Converting the eastern most entrance to right - in/right -out and eliminating the center
entrance has addressed my concerns with both sight distance and access management
spacing.
2. Additional detail of the island to be built in the eastern most entrance is needed. The
proposed island as shown does not appear to prevent left turn movements at the entrance,
thus the entrance would not be considered right - in/right -out. An island similar to the
channelizing islands discussed in Appendix F of the Road Design Manual should be
considered.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me at
(434) 589 -5871.

Ellie,
The ACSA has received and reviewed the above referenced plan. Currently the ACSA is working with RWSA to develop a
subdivision plat to separate the ACSA and RWSA areas. The ACSA will not approve the above referenced plan until it
gives approval on the subdivision plat. In addition, the ACSA has met separately with RWSA and VDOT to discuss
entrance locations and spacing. The ACSA will require review of the changes, per VDOT comments, prior to granting
approval. This is required to maintain access and security to both the ACSA and the RWSA properties.

Re: SDP - 2014 -00014 Crozet Water Treatment Plant
Dear Ms. Ray:
We have reviewed the site plan for the Crozet Water Treatment Plant — GAC Upgrades dated
217114 as submitted by Hazen and Sawyer and offer the following comments:
1. The three existing entrances shown on the site plan do not meet access management
spacing requirements. VDOT is working with the Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority and
the Albemarle County Service Authority to see if removing at least one of the entrances
is an option.
2. The eastern most entrance does not have adequate sight distance. VDOT is working with
the Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority and the Albemarle County Service Authority on
options concerning the entrance and/or the available sight distance for the entrance.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
