4. Pursuant to discussions had with the applicant on 8- 28 -13, the shared parcel boundary of
TMP 61 -144 and TMP 61 -146D is to be vacated to render the two parcels into a single
parcel. This will require a boundary line adjustment plat to be formally submitted for review
under Chapter 14 -208.1 of the subdivision ordinance and approval by the County prior to
final site plan approval.
5. [Chapter 18 Section 32.5.2(b), 4.12.6] On the plan provide the parking schedule /calculations
for the proposed building (Proposed Annex/ Youth Center) to include the amount required
and the amount provided. On the plan account for the required and provided spaces and
where the spaces are to be located.
6. On sheet 1 of the site plan under Site Data assure the zoning of TMP 61 -144 makes note of
the split zoning of the parcel which was a result of the recent rezoning (ZMA201200006),
notably 0.487 acres of the parcel is zoned C -1, the rest is zoned R -2. Also for TMP 61 -144
there is an approved Special Use Permit w/ condition (SP2000 -60), assure this information is
listed on sheet 1 under Site Data for the lot's zoning.

on TMP 61 -146 Vanderline Housing Inc. and TMP 61 -146A William/ Anne Debutts, TMP 61-

9. [Chapter 18 Section 21.7(c)] & 33.5)] As proposed the 20' buffer zone adjacent to residential

Screening shall be provided as required in section 32.7.9. A "waiver" processed as a Special
Exception by the Board of Supervisors is required prior to final site plan approval. Please

the other waiver mentioned above has been requested and processed.
12. [Chapter 18 Section 32.5.2 (i)] On the plan label Rio School Lane.
13. [Comment] Assure the proposed buildings' square footage is consistent throughout the

relocated omit or revise the note from the final site plan.
15. [Comment] On sheet 1, under Land Use Breakdown, the plan makes note of "Open Space =
157,446 SF for 59% of the property ". To avoid confusion discontinue the use of the term
"Open Space" as this area does not qualify as true "Open Space" per Section 4.7 of the
ordinance.
16. [Comment] With regard to proposed entrance closings of the various existing entrances to
TMP 61 -146A and 145 as commented on by VDOT. The final site plan shall depict all of these

entrance and road as depicted on preliminary site plan the applicant shall work with
Engineering, Planning and Fire & Rescue to determine an appropriate remedy to prevent
through traffic (gate, fence, bollards, or some alternative).
Engineering Division Approval of: (submit 3 copies of the revised plans, calculations, and

of the County of Albemarle
2. A Stormwater Management Plan meeting the requirements of Chapter 17 of the Code.
3. All easements for facilities for stormwater management and drainage control.
4. Road plans will be required to be submitted and approved prior to final site plan approval.
5. One parking space does not appear to be the minimum 9' width.
6. Final site plan will address all requirements of 18 -32.6 County Code.
7. VDOT approval required for final site plan approval.
Albemarle County Architectural Review Board Approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness. (8
Copies are required to be submitted for review)
1. The new two -story building is expected to have some visibility from the Entrance Corridor,
particularly during the winter months. It appears that the proposal will qualify for a
"Countywide Certificate of Appropriateness for a structure located behind a structure that
fronts the Entrance Corridor ". Approval of that application will be required prior to final site
plan approval. ARB applications, checklists and guidelines are available on line at
www.albemarle.org /arb.
Albemarle County Fire & Rescue Approval. (1 Copy is required to be submitted for review)
1. Verify Fire Flow requirements of 1000 gpm.
2. Add a hydrant to maintain the required 400 ft spacing for commercial buildings. Preferred
location would be located on the backside of the parking lot between the existing Church
and the new building.
Vireinia Department of Transportation Approval. (1 Copv is reauired to be submitted for review
1. As part of the construction of the new commercial entrance onto Route 631, Rio Road, the
entrances for the loop in front of the church's thrift store and all entrances of the real estate
office directly onto Rio Road must be physically closed. VDOT standard CG -6 needs to be
replaced at each of these entrances to close them.
2. The western most entrance to the real estate office off of the new shared access needs to
meet the minimum throat length per Appendix F of the Road Deign Manual. For one egress
lane, the minimum throat length should be 35 feet.
3. The entrance width should be a minimum of 30 feet as shown on Figure 4 -10 in Appendix F
of the Road Design manual.
4. It appears that an access management spacing exception will be necessary for the new
entrance due to the spacing between the signalized entrance of the gas station to the south
and the proposed entrance shown in this site plan. I can support this exception on the basis
that as part of the construction of the new entrance, three other existing entrances will be
removed.
Albemarle Countv Service Authoritv Approval. (3 Copv is reauired to be submitted for review
1. Submit 3 copies of the final site plan to the ACSA for construction review.
