RE: SDP201500017 Western Albemarle H.S. (Environmental Studies Center) — Major Amendment
Dear Sir:
Your Major Amendment application has been reviewed. In order for the amended site plan to be
approved the following revisions are required:
1. [32.5.2(a)] Add EC (Entrance Corridor) to the Zoning information.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
2. [32.5.2(a)] Provide an exhibit showing the location of the proposed work on the subject parcel, and
the name of the owner(s), zoning district, tax map and parcel numbers and present use of abutting
parcels.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Provide a dimension from the proposed work to the nearest boundary line.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
4. [32.5.2(d)] County GIS shows a small area of critical slopes just off the eastern edge of the parking
lot that appear to be impacted by the proposed work; an exception may be required. It looks as if
field -run topography information was provided for this project; clarify if this topo information also
indicates the presence of critical slopes in this area and show them on the plan, if necessary. If there
are critical slopes present, we will have to determine whether or not the slopes were lawfully created
by a development plan that was approved by the county to know if an exception is required.
Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. Label the areas of critical slopes. The only impact to the
slopes shown on the plan is the installation of silt fence; is any other impact proposed? If so,
provide the SDP application number of the County approved plan that created the slopes or
apply for an exception.
5. [32.5.2(j,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.
6. [32.5.2(n)] GIS shows two additional structures in the area where this work is proposed; clarify
whether or not these structures exist.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
7. [32.5.2(n)] Provide the maximum footprint of the proposed building. Total square footage has been
provided, but footprint has not.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
8. [32.6.2(i)] List the number of parking spaces removed and the total number remaining. Since the
parking requirement for schools is generally specified by parking determination, verify with Zoning
that the parking requirement is still satisfied with the proposed reduction in spaces.
Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. Clarify if Zoning verified that the parking requirement is
still satisfied.
9. [32.6.2(i) & 4.12.15(f)] The end of one parking row is not protected by a raised island, only paint
striping; verify with Engineering that no raised island is needed.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
10. [32.6.20) & 32.7.9] This plan proposes the removal of two existing trees with no documentation of
whether or not these trees were planted to meet landscape requirements on previous site plans.
Please either document that these trees were not required by any previously approved site plan or
provide two equivalent trees to replace those that are being removed.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
11. [32.6.2(k) & 4.17] Is any outdoor lighting proposed? If so, all lighting (including bollards and 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 addressed.
12. [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 has reviewed the revision submittal and has
no objection. ACSA review is pending; comments, if any, will be forwarded upon receipt.
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.
Sincerely,
