However, the Site Review Committee has attempted to identify all issues that could affect approval of the proposed project. Please make the revisions that have been identified as necessary for preliminary approval by the Site Review Committee. If you choose not to make the requested revisions, please submit in writing justification for not incorporating such revisions.

Owner: Hurt Investment Company Applicant: Free Bridge Auto rom: Elizabeth Marotta, Senior Planner Division: Zoning & Current Development Date: -September 1, :2009 (Updated-from December 1, .2008 comments for SDP08 -171) Subject: SDP - 2009 -62 The Planner for the 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.] -1. [32.5.6b] COMMENT: It appears that 53 spaces are provided, whereas the Site Data list indicates 48 spaces are provided. Please address this discrepancy. 2. [32.5.6d] COMMENTS: Critical slopes- UPDATE: Provide evidence that critical slopes were created with an approved site plan, otherwise a critical slopes waiver will be required. Also, please provide callouts or legend to identify the shading on the existing conditions plan (that I believe to be critical slopes). Topography- It is required that you show topography and features at least up to 50' outside the property lines; please revise accordingly. Also, it is my understanding that (some of) the topography shown on the existing conditions plan is not actually existing, but is per an approved site plan (particularly off -site topo). Please be very clear about what topo is existing, and what topo is per an approved site plan. Where applicable, identify which site plan the approved topo came from. z0ffsite topography- Because off -site grading is proposed, please show topography for at least 50' beyond the limits of all disturbance. 3. [32.5.6n]: COMMENTS: Parldng lots- UPDATE: Required parking spaces are being provided off -site (23 +/- spaces). An offsite parking agreement is required to be submitted and approved prior to final site plan approval. Prior to preliminary site plan approval, provide evidence the adjacent property owner is willing to provide /negotiate the required agreement(s). Inter- parcel connectivity- This site is subject to Sec. 32.7.2.5 and inter - parcel connectivity is required. The adjacent Kia major amendment plan (SDP200500135) provides a connection point to this property, as does the preliminary plan for Whitehouse (SDP200800020, Final SDP200800124) Please revise -iTie plan as necessary to provide inter- parcel connections. Signs - UPDATE: Signage is not required to be shown on the site plan. 4. [32.5.6j] COMMENT: Albemarle County approved an easement plat on 11/ 21/08 that shows the drainage easement on the subject parcel as remaining, and in fact provides a new easement segment. The proposed preliminary site plan shows this easement as `to be vacated' and relocated to the western property line. Please address this discrepancy, and update the preliminary site plan to show all existing easements. 5. [32.5.6.e] [32.7.9.4.c] > COMMENT: Existing landscape features are required to be shown. If none exist, please provide note on plan to confirm there are none to show. Final tentative approval from this department will be subject to the following conditions: [These conditions are those which have been identified at this time. Conditions may be added or eliminated based on additional review.] 1. [32.5.6n] UPDATE: Offsite parking agreement is required to be submitted and approved prior to final site plan approval. 2. ARB approval is required prior to final site plan approval. 3. [32.7.9.6 Street Trees] Prior to final site plan approval, the requirements of this section must be met. Please contact Elizabeth Marotta, Senior Planner at the Department of Community Development 296 -5832 ext. 3432 for further information. 2 �oF nr,� a$ �'IRGINZP' County of Albemarle Department of Community Development Memorandum To: Elizabeth Marotta, Planner From: -John Diez, Engineering Review Division: Current. Development Date: August 31, 2009 Subject: SDP200900062, Free Bridge Office - Preliminary The preliminary site plan for Free Bridge Office, received on August 11, 2009, has been reviewed. The engineering review for current development can recommend approval once the following items are adequately addressed: A. Preliminary Site Plan Comments: 1. Please provide removal rates for the pre - development and post - development drainage areas. 2. Please provide for interparcel connectivity to the neighboring parcels as shown on the approved Whitehouse Commercial Preliminary Site Plan (SDP20080020) and the Kia Site Plan Major Amendment (SDP200500135). Please designate which critical slopes (as shown on the Existing Conditions Plan) are man -made, and designate the approved plan which created them - Olympia Drive, Kia, or Free Bridge Auto (application numbers and approval dates can be researched at the Community Development Office or on -line at Countyview Web). Designate which critical slopes, if any, are natural. The disturbance of critical slopes which were not created with an approved plan will require a waiver from the Planning Commission. 4. To provide safe circulation, it is recommended that the entrance to the lower parking lot be moved farther away from Olympia Drive. A minimum tangent of 50 -feet between the two entrances is suggested. 5. Based on the 2:5:1 slope and the greater than 10 -foot drop -off, it appears that guardrail is necessary in front of the 5 proposed parking spaces in the Free Bridge Auto lot. [DM] 6. The difference in grade created between the proposed travelway and the Whitehouse Commercial site could require a guardrail on the Whitehouse site. [DM] 7. The difference in grade created between the proposed parking lot and the existing Free Bridge . Auto site could require a guardrail along the existing Auto parking . [DM] B. Final Site Plan Comments (For information purposes only): 8. Vehicle access aisles, that are not adjacent to parking spaces, shall not exceed a grade of 10 %. 9. Dumpster pad cannot have drainage running beneath it. The site must be designed so that stormwater does not run through, and drains away. 10. VDOT approval must be obtained for plans that affect right -of -way prior to final site plan approval. [DSM902B] 11. A temporary grading and construction easement will be necessary from the Whitehouse Commercial parcel prior to approval of the Final Site Plan. Please provide a letter of intent to grant the easement from the owner of this parcel. 12. The boundary line adjustment and easement plats necessary to accommodate this development must be recorded prior to approval of a Final Site Plan. 13. The fmal site plan is subject to County Code Chapter 17 Water Protection Ordinance. Approval of a Water Protection Ordinance Application including Erosion and Sediment Control Plans per Article II will be required. To ensure that Stormwater Management and Water Quality was accounted for with the design of the Luxor Pond, please submit the allowable impervious area (or C- value) of the site, based on the Luxor Pond plans, and the actual proposed impervious area. :t:.`£jE -cltSf (;ss; , A ;.Ise a;1> =;csi?f�ii£3': z:) Y`:� DP20,' 900,062 Fre,,; Bride, €:)t'tice i'I: E I �.� ;}�..... �3I.�....��£� -��t 062 �.;% °L : 1:�'t°i£ISSe.dou Application #: I SDP200900062 Short Review Comments Project Name:1 Free -Bridge Office -- Preliminary Site Plan Preliminary — Non- residential Date Completed: 08/24/2009 Reviewer: Andrew Slack E911 Review Status: No Objection Reviews Comments: Date Completed: Reviewer: Review Status: Reviews Comments: Date Completed: Reviewer: Review Status: Reviews Comments: JO OBJECTION. 08/26/2009 Elizabeth Marotta CommDev- Current Development No Objection Soils Report from TJSWCD- no review necessary.
