Sincerely, Senior Planner j'f COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road, Room 227 Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 -4596 Phone (434) 296 -5832 Fax (434) 972 -4126 November 4, 2015 Justin Shimp 201 E. Main Street, Suite M Charlottesville VA 22902 RE: SDP201500049 Northside Drive Material Recovery Facility - initial site plan Dear Mr. Shimp: Department of Community Development has reviewed the above referenced site plan (dated 9- 21 -15) against applicable codes and ordinances. Comments are provided below: [32.4.2.1(f)] The public notification fee of $200 was not paid prior to SRC. Prior to any further action (other than an action of denial) on the initial site plan provide the required fee. [32.5.2(1), 32.5.2(n), 32.5.2(m)] Streets, easements, and travelways. & Ingress and Egress. The entrance to the proposed use is existing and is located on TMP 03200- 00 -00- 06700. The last site plan amendment approved for that parcel is SDP2004 -26 Halls Auto Body Inc — Manor Amendment which depicts all improvements for both existing uses on TMP 03200 -00 -00 -06700 and TNT 03200- 00- 00- 022C5. While the proposed use could have been submitted as a Major Site Plan Amendment to the last final site plan (SDP92 -67 Halls Auto Body Shop — Final Site Plan Parcels 22C5 and 67) the applicant chose to submit an initial site plan, which is in the applicants purview; however, because the proposed use shares an existing entrance and a gravel access aisle with the existing developments on TMP 03200- 00- 00 -022C5 and TMP 03200- 00 -00- 06700, the existing previously approved improvements onsite which are being relied upon for this proposed use shall be depicted, labeled, and dimensioned in total as required on the final site plan to assure they are adequate to accommodate the proposed use without need for upgrade. This shall be addressed prior to final site plan approval. Also, some of the relied upon previously approved improvements on SDP2004 -26 & SDP92 -67 appear to be impacted by this proposal, if this is the case, amendments to those plans shall be required prior to final site plan approval. Some examples are: - Required Employee Parking of the Auto Body and Paint Shop on TMP 03200 -00 -00 -06700 (staff counts 11 employee spaces being impacted/lost) and 15 inventory spaces which are relied upon for the use `Auto Body and Paint Shop' as depicted on SDP2004 -26 for TMP 03200- 00 -00- 06700. In order to accommodate the proposed use, modification to that site plan are required to assure all required parking is provided for onsite. - Defined access aisles to the existing use on TMP 03200- 00- 00- 022C5, which are not present in the field. - Additionally, landscaping within the parking lot adjacent to the drive aisle may be impacted. [Comment] Kenny Thacker, Erosion Control Officer for Albemarle County has been in direct contact with the owner, Larry Hall, for the proposed use. It appears that the owner recently discussed his intention to permanently establish and use TMP 03200 -00 -00 -07000 & 03200 -00 -00 -07100 as part of the proposed use `Material Recovery Facility'. If this is truly the owners' intent the current initial site plan under review is not sufficient to include those parcels under this site plan application. The initial site plan under review only considers a portion of TMP 32 -22C5 for the proposed use as applied for and depicted on the initial site plan. If the owner intends to include those two additional parcels in the proposed use it is staffs suggestion that the applicant withdraw the current application and submit a new initial site plan to include those two parcels complete with a new application & fee. If the above is not the owners' intent and he would like to proceed as proposed with the site plan only covering a portion of TMP 03200- 00- 00- 022C5, then all other comments in this'letter will suffice for SRC review and staff shall issue a conditional approval of the initial site plan within 15 days of this letter. Please respond to this comment as soon as possible. 4. [325.2(i), 32.5.2(m)] Streets, easements, and travelways. & Ingress and Egress. Based on my review of the existing final site plan approved for the site, there is an existing Access Easement in place on TMP 03200 -00- 00 -06700 to serve the use on TMP 03200- 00- 00 -022C5 that ends before the proposed tie in to the new parking lot for the proposed use. On the final site plan provide a Deed Book Page Reference number for this Access Easement. Also, prior to final site plan approval the Access Easement shall be extended to serve the proposed use. 5. [Continent] The proposed use lists 4 employees; however, there are no restrooms provided onsite. How are the employees to utilize the restroom while working onsite? If it is the intent of the applicant to allow said employees to utilize the existing facility of the previously approved use on TMP 03200- 00- 00 -022C5 please state this on the final site plan for this use. Prior to final site plan approval the Health Department shall verify that the existing septic systems have adequate capacity to handle additional capacity.
