Memorandum
To: Megan Yaniglos, Planning
From: Justin Deel, Engineering
Date: 25 March 2015
(Rev. 1) 8 August 2015
Subject: 5`h Street Station Phase 2 (SDP201500009)
The final site plan for 5t` Street Station Phase 2 has been reviewed. The following concerns should be
addressed;
1. Please remove all reference sheets (site plans, grading plans, etc.) that contain no changes being
proposed with this site plan as well as all E&SC and retaining wall plans.
(Rev. 1) Comment not addressed. "Per direction from Megan Yaniglos, plan is required to
show the site as a whole (all phases)." This response could not be confirmed. Reference sheets,
E&SC/SWM plans, utility plans, etc. should not be included with this plan set. These items have
been or are currently being reviewed under separate applications and should not be re -reviewed
under this application. Please provide only Phase II site plan elements. (See Albemarle County
Code 18-32.6.2. Contents of a Final Site Plan)
2. Please correct your Existing Conditions sheet. Previously approved plans that have not been
constructed (Wegmans) or plans that are currently being reviewed (connector road) should not
appear as existing conditions.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
3. Please clarify your phasing plan by clearly illustrating what is part of "5t' Street Station Overall
Phase II". The phasing needs to coordinate with the E&SC and SWM phasing. This looks like
more of a construction phasing plan rather than a design phasing plan and should be titled as such,
if so.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
4. Please clearly differentiate areas proposed with this plan from other parts or phases of the site on
all plans using line weights and/or shading.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
5. There is a conflicting left turn at the 3 -way intersection coming into the western Wegmans parking
area. Stop signs are needed for the roads coming from the west and east giving the entering traffic
the right-of-way, avoiding back-up to Bent Creek Road. Please correct.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
6. Provide pavement markings, appropriate signing, and splitter islands at the crosswalks for the
roundabout. Please define roundabout type and ensure that it meets VDOT design standards. See
VDOT Road Design Manual, Appendix F, Section 2.
(Rev. 1) Comment not addressed. Appropriate splitter islands and signage have not been
provided. It is understood that the roundabout is to be part of a private street; however, the County
requires that all roundabouts (and generally all private travelways for that matter) meet VDOT
design standards. This roundabout design does not. Please note the following exert from the
VDOT Roundabout Design Guidance manual concerning splitter islands:
Splitter islands should be incorporated into all roundabouts, and generally at least 50 feet in length,
although specific situations or design constraints may necessitate shorter splitter islands. Splitter
islands should be a minimum of 6 feet wide at crosswalk locations to adequately provide refuge for
pedestrians, including those using wheelchairs, pushing a stroller, or walking a bicycle. Splitter
islands also alert approaching drivers to the geometry of the roundabout.
Splitter islands are a safety feature and should not be substituted with pavement markings,
especially considering the high pedestrian traffic volume that should be expected with this site.

Engineering Review comments
Page 2 of 2
7. Several parking spaces would require backing into or very near to the roundabout upon exiting.
Please eliminate these spaces. Ensure that parking spaces leading up to and exiting the roundabout
have adequate sight distance and do not interfere with the above requested splitter islands and
signs. AASHTO recommends 20 feet from cross -walk.
(Rev. 1) Comment partially addressed. Spaces in question west of roundabout have been
removed. However, there are spaces north and east of the roundabout that require backing into
roundabout traffic. Please remove these spaces as well.
8. All rear travelways need to be more clearly defined with pavement markings, bollards, and curbing
at building corners, dumpster pads, etc., while maintaining safe sight distances. Note that the rear
travelway at the Wegmans is shown as "Site Circulation" on ZMA200900001. Please correct.
(Rev. 1) Comment not addressed. The rear travelways appear largely unchanged with this
submission.
9. A redesign is needed at the northern most entrance into the shopping center (Sheet 6C). There is
inadequate throat length and an unenforceable one-way created by the rear travelway. This could
be avoided by eliminating the entrance or routing the rear travelway west toward the parking area.
Note that this entrance does not appear on ZMA200900001.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
10. Your plan shows at least one, possibly two, drive-throughs. Drive-throughs require special use
permits and need to be adequate in length for 5 cars in queue and have a bypass. Please shade
these areas out and label them to be approved with future design.
(Rev. 1) Comment not addressed. The County Engineer has stated that the one drive-through
site that has already been leased may be shown, provided that the entrance is blocked off and that a
Special Use Permit application has been submitted. However, he has recommended denial of this
Special Use Permit, see Action Letter dated 16 July 2015. Please revisit this issue with the County
Engineer at the next weekly meeting. Otherwise, the above mentioned shading out of these areas
should be implemented.
11. Provide stop bars exiting the Wegmans parking lot.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
12. Curb radii on islands should be 3' minimum. Please adjust islands in center parking lot.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
13. Please check your 10 year storm inlet computations. You're showing a 40'+ spread at A40. This
needs to be reduced, if it is not a typo.
(Rev. 1) Comment partially addressed. The table containing the referenced data has been
removed and the number of inlets has been drastically decreased. Why? Spreads should be less
than 10 feet; over half of your shown inlets are greater than this. Please address this.
14. Please explain unmarked area south of building 700.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
15. Please label all retaining walls.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
16. There are duplicate building numbers, please correct.
(Rev. 1) Comment addressed.
17. Note that the road plans and retaining wall plans are not being approved with this application.
(Rev. 1) Comment acknowledged.

RE: ARB201500055 Fifth Street Station
Dear Daniel,
I have reviewed your recent submittal (site plan with revision date of 7/16/13(?) and architectural elevations dated 6/12/15) and I
have the following comments, based on the ARB action of June 15, 2015.
1. In response to comment 10 in the ARB action letter, the photometric plan has been revised to use an LLF of 1.0. However,
spillover at the property line exceeds .5 fc in several locations and the fixture locations are hard to see on the plan. Please
revise the plans to eliminate spillover in excess of .5 fc and to make the fixture locations more easily legible.
2. Comment 13 in the ARB action letter required an update to the retaining wall details and landscape plan to address the
plants proposed to be used on the wall (not at the top of the wall, but on the face of the wall). A mix of plants was
recommended. There appears to be no detail for the living retaining wall and no revision to the landscape plan to identify
the plants to be used on the wall. Please revise the plans accordingly.
3. In response to comment 13 in the ARB action letter, your July 16 response letter states that Sheet 13G has been reivsed to
indicate that the living retaining wall will be irrigated. The information does not appear on the plan. Please revise the plan to
clearly show that the living retaining wall will be irrigated.
Please provide:
1. One set of revised drawings addressing each of these conditions. Include updated revision dates on each drawing.
2. A memo including detailed responses indicating how each condition has been satisfied. If changes other than those requested
have been made, identify those changes in the memo also. Highlighting the changes in the drawing with "clouding" or by
other means will facilitate review and approval.
3. The attached "Revised Application Submittal" form. This form must be returned with your revisions to ensure proper
tracking and distribution.
When staff s review of this information indicates that all conditions of approval have been met, a Certificate of Appropriateness
may be issued. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Rev1: August 5, 2015
Subject: SDP -2015-009 Fifth Street Station- Final Site Plan
The Planner for the Planning Services 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.]
Requirements:
1. [32.5.2 (p)] The conservation checklist shown will need to be updated and signed with a
new/revised date.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
2. [Proffer 10(D)] Provide engineering documentation that states the Wegman's and the
site meet the Best Management Practices to be reviewed and approved by the County's
Program Authority. Also provide written documentation that the Thomas Jefferson
Foundation has approved the proposed roof material color for the buildings as it is not
clear from the prior approval if the roof color was for just the Wegman's or all proposed
buildings.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
3. [4.17] Proposed lighting must have a half a foot candle or less at the property lines and
rights of way. Also, the LLF should be set at 1.0 for the photometric plan. Revise the
lighting plan or request a special exception under 4.17.5.
Rev1: Comment not addressed. There are areas where the photometric plan shows
levels higher than 0.5 foot candle within the right of way along Bent Creek Parkway.
Revise. A shield may be needed for these areas.
4. [32.7.9.7 (a)(2)] It appears that some of the houses within Willoughby will be at the
same elevation as the site. Please provide screening of the parking in accordance with
this section.
Rev1: Comment not addressed adequately. There are areas where small shrub could
be planted between the parking lot and the sidewalk. There are gaps that need to be
filled in along the parking areas shown on sheet 13E.
5. [ZMA Application Plan] Shown on Sheet 2 of the application plan is a pedestrian
connection that would connect Zone 'A' and Zone 'B'. Provide this connection within the
proposed parking areas.
Rev1: Comment not adequately addressed. The connection needs to be made all the
way up to the new buildings within Zone 'B' as shown on the application plan.
ZONE F BUILDINGS
ZONE W AND ZONE `B"
PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION
(NOT TO SCALE)
A PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION SIMILAR TO
THE DETAIL SHOWN HERE SHALL BE
PROVIDED TO LINK THE PROPOSED
BUILDINGS IN ZONE `A' TO THE
BUILDINGS IN ZONE'B'. THE FWAL
LOCATION AND CONFIGURATION WILL BE
SHOWN IN THE FINAL SITE PLAN.
6. [32.7.2.2] Extend the sidewalk along Bent Creek Parkway all the way to Avon St.
Extended. Also, provide sidewalk along the frontage of Avon St. Extended to the
property lines.
Rev1: Comment not adequately addressed. As discussed, the sidewalk needs to be
extended along the full frontage of Avon Street to the guardrail.
7. [Additional Comment] Engineering commented previously concerning the removal of
the drive-thrus. A note is not sufficient in this case. The drive-thrus need to be
removed from the plan, since at this time we are unsure of the conditions that will be
placed on the special use permit and the ultimate layout of the drive-thrus have not
been reviewed. A letter of revision or minor amendment will need to submitted at a
later date for the drive-thru locations if the intent is to get this plan approved prior to
the special use permit being approved.

Subject: 5th Street Station Phase 2 (SDP201500009)
