RE: SDP201400071 Henley Middle School Auxiliary Gym Addition — Minor Amendment
Dear Sir:
Your Minor Amendment application has been reviewed. In order for the amended site plan to be
approved the following revisions are required:
1. [Comment] It has been determined that this application may be processed as a Minor Amendment
instead of a Major Amendment; please revise the cover sheet and reference SDP200400019 as the
original site plan that this application amends.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
2. [32.5.2(a)] Show the closest boundary line and provide a dimension between the line and the
proposed improvements (or show the required setback line).
Rev1: Comment addressed.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Add Entrance Corridor (EC) to the Zoning note.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
4. [32.5.2(e)] Show and label any existing landscape features as described in 32.7.9.4(c).
Rev1: Comment addressed.
5. [32.5.2(f)] Add a note indicating this parcel lies within the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir Water
Supply Watershed.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
6. [32.5.2(k)] Clarify if new sewer is proposed along the western tree line; a portion of the line is darker
than the rest, thus making it look as if that section is `proposed'.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
7. [32.5.2Q,k,l)] Verify that the location(s) and dimensions of all existing or proposed utilities and utility
easements including water, sewer, drainage, telephone, cable, electric and gas are shown on the
plan. Provide the Deed Book and Page reference for any existing easements. Any proposed
easements should be labeled with the intended owner.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
8. [32.5.2(n)] Provide dimensions for all existing and proposed improvements including the travelways,
walkways, building addition, fences, recreational areas and other paved areas. Clarify the paving
material types for all paved surfaces (no hatch pattern legend is provided)
Rev1: Comment addressed.
9. [32.6.20) & 32.7.9] The gym addition itself does not carry any Site Plan landscaping requirements
provided that all landscaping required on SDP200400019 was installed and has been maintained.
Show and provide tree protection for any required landscaping from the original SDP that is near the
project area.
Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. I believe Engineering is going to request that you
remove the E &S sheets from the Site Plan (WPO related sheets should only be included in the
WPO application for enforcement and period of validity reasons). Please add the tree
protection information to the Landscape Plan sheet so that it is included in the Site Plan.
10. [Comment] ARB review and approval is required which may have separate landscape requirements.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
11. [32.6.2(k) & 4.17] Is any outdoor lighting proposed? If so, all lighting (including building mounted
fixtures) must be shown on a lighting plan that includes a photometric plan, luminaire schedule and
cut sheets for each proposed fixture.
Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. Provide the following standard lighting note on the
lighting plan: Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000 or more initial
lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be arranged or shielded to reflect light away
from adjoining residential districts and away 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. For future reference, the LLF (or maintenance factor)
should be 1.0, not 0.95. In this case, ARB does not expect any issues with the correct
maintenance factor, so it's acceptable to leave it as is.
12. [Comment] This amendment cannot be approved until ACSA completes their review and grants their
approval; comments will be forwarded upon receipt. Inspections and VDOT have reviewed the plan
and have no objection. Engineering, Fire Rescue and ARB comments have been provided.
Rev1: Comment addressed. However, the WPO/VSMP application must be approved prior to
site plan approval.
13. [Comment] For future reference, when additional changes are added to a revision submittal (such
as relocation of the sheds), please make sure the planner is made aware of the additions. Many
times, we only review for the revisions we have requested and might miss the additional changes. In
this case, the changes are approvable but there have been times when additional changes have
become a problem during the inspection process.
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.
If you have any questions about the comments please feel free to contact me.
