Outdoor lighting information including a photometric plan and location, description, and photograph
or diagram of each type of outdoor luminaire [Sec. 32.7.8 & Sec. 4.17]
- Sheet C -26 provides the required lighting cutsheets for each light type; however, the cutsheets
are not clearly labeled as to which fixture corresponds with the table: XA, XB, XC, and XW.
Rev 2• What happened to the 4 different types of lighting previously proposed on the plan, to
include wallpacks, it appears they have been omitted. Please confirm that all site lighting is
depicted on the lighting plan and photometric plan. All exterior lighting shall be shown and
accounted for on the lighting plan and photometric plan.
- Sheet C -6 depicts the locations of the various types of lights (XA -XW); however sheet C -26
does not provide matching quantities of each light found on sheet C -6.

- Also, the lighting plan shall include a photometric plan which measures the light spillover to
the residential property line: s and the public street (spillover shall not to be over 0.5 half foot
candles). Rev 2. The photometric plan provided is too small to read and the measurements at
the property lines overlap one another causing another obstacle to legibility. Please revise sheet
LT -1 so that the photometric plan is large enough to read. Staff suggests making the lighting
plan two pages; sheet 1 for the photometric plan, and sheet 2 for the cutsheets and other
lighting data.

31. [Comment] The plan depicts an indention, which looks like parallel parking spaces adjacent to the
two parking spaces at the entrance. Please clarify what this space is for through labels. If they are for
parking spaces please provide measurements and labels. Etc
Rev 2 Section 4.12.16(C)2 requires parallel parking spaces to be a minimum of 9' wide and 20'
long The spaces provided do not meet this requirement. Also the spaces shall be stripped.
Revise appropriately. If these spaces are to be used as parking spaces the parking calculations
on sheet 2 should be updated to reflect these spaces. Notably planning staff does not believe this
spaces should remain as parking spaces as they are an impediment to the 100' sight distance
line shown. Either revise to omit them or revise to meet code requirements.

north associated with the sidewalk exiting the garage spaces. All other retaining walls have max
heights provided on sheet C -7. Assure that it's provided for this retaining wall too.
37. [Comment] The revised site plan was not sent to RWSA for review based on previous
correspondence not allowing a connection to RWSA lines. It appears that the applicant has worked
out it's water connection issues with RWSA and they are allowing it. Prior to final site plan approval,
provide something in writing (email is fine) that signifies RWSA has approved the site plan being
reviewed or has no objections. Per a phone call with Victoria Fort I am forwarding them a copy of
the plan today (3- 24 -15).

From: Justin Deel, Engineering
Date: 31 October 2014
(Rev. 1) 19 March 2015
Subject: The Lofts at Meadow Creek (SDP-2014-00067)
The final site plan for The Lofts at Meadowcreek has been reviewed. The following concerns should be
addressed prior to approval;
1. The VSMP/WP0 application will need to be approved before recommending approval of the -final
site plan toPlanning. Please separate the VSMP package (SWM.. ESC, storm drainage).frotrahe
site plan. This should be a stand - alone submittal for the VSMP prouain.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
2. Critical. Slopes TnUst be per .Albemarle County Code (ACC) 18-30.7. Please rnake your drm rings
match the overlay district maps. 'I'he walls proposed to fill in the slopes that are marked as
managed slopes must follow the design guidelines of ACC 30.7.5, with 6 foot wall inaxiinum.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
3. Slopes steeper than 3:1 must have a low maintenance ground cover (not grass). [ACC 18-30.7]
(Rev. 1) Comment partially addressed. This note was not found on your Landscape Plan, please
provide.
4. Provide sealed retaining wall plans.
(Rev. 1) Comment partially addressed. Please include retaining wall plans with the SDP.
Ensure that retaining wall plans show and reflect redesign of biofilter. Wall plans received with
the VSMP show the old biofilter layout. Also, please show safety rails and/or fencing along
retaining walls on plans, and provide a typical detail.
5. VI)OTapproval will be required. for improvements alon-R-io Road.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
6. Ensure that bus stop lane is marked off so as to difTerentiate from. the turn lane.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
7. 'The travelway into the site does not meet the grade requirements for parking [ACC 18-4.12].
(Rev. 1) Comment not addressed. Your profile is of the centerline, however, the grade on the
right side goes from 5% to 9% almost immediately. We feel that this is impractical as it will likely
not be constructed as planned.
8. Parallel parking needs to be striped.
(Rev. 1) Comment partially addressed. Please provide no parking signs for this area.
9. Handicapped parking spaces iii. garage should be located. on the east side of the parking facility to
eliminate the need to cross vehicle access isle [ACC 18-4.12.15J].
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
10. Restore cast elevation.profile view of retaining wall.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
11. Inlet calculations do not appear to be correct. Please accurately reflect curbs and grades, and
ensure 10 year storm gets to the SWM facilities. We can check details with VSMP plans.
(Rev. 1) Comment partially addressed. Inlet calculations still do not appear to be correct.

Please compare your spread results for both 2 and 10 year storms. We cannot see how 8 is in a
sump conditions. It appears that the trench drain at the building entrance will collect much of the
drainage presumably intended for structure 6, which is fine, just please provide calculations.
The following issues withbiofilter desigi.i. will affect the layout of the site plan;
L You cannot have a sanitary sewer/manhole in the bi.ofilter dam.

Re: SDP - 2014 -00067
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the Final Site plan for The Lofts at Meadow Creek, as submitted by W &W
Associates with a signature date of February 27, 2015, and offer the following comments:
1. The second paragraph, under the Temporary Traffic Control /Maintenance of Traffic
Plan Narrative, should be corrected to include the restricted work hours for lane
closures and the 6'h sentence should be removed.
2. The Flagger stations, on sheet 14, should be adjusted to the south side of Towne Lane
'and to the north side of Pen Park Lane. The corresponding controls /signage spacing
should be adjusted to accommodate the shift.
3. Care should be taken when placing the Road Work Ahead signs, on the side streets, to
ensure all vehicular traffic is aware of the work zone.
If you need further information concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me
at (434) 422 -9894.
Sincerely,
Shelly A. Plaster
