Long version- The project proposed with WPO 201400069 does not require a site plan. The reason is because there has never been a site plan on this property and the proposed building does not trigger the need for a site plan. The project proposed with WPO 201400073 does not require a site plan. The reason is because there has never been a site plan on this property and the proposed building does not trigger the need for a site plan. CountyView does indicate a site plan was submitted on this property,SDP198500009. I reviewed that file and found two separate letters making it clear that the development proposed did not trigger the need for a site plan. No action was ever taken on the site plan so there is nothing that needs to be amended. Best thing— Great question Max and thanks for bringing it up. William D.

Also attached in this submittal are updated drawings, updated stormwater and E&S calculations, and figures. In response to comments made by the Albemarle County Department of Community Development in a letter dated November 12, 2014, Hazen and Sawyer offers the following on behalf of the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority. A. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Max Greene 1. Please have the owner fill out the required forms for the SWPPP for plan approval. The owner is the Operator until the plan is approved, the"Operator" can be transferred to additional personnel at any time during the duration of the project, see transfer forms in SWPPP. The link to the Albemarle County preferred SWPPP form is: http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/forms_center/departments/Community_Development/form s/ Engineering_and WPO_Forms/Stormwater_Pollution_Prevention_Plan_SWPPP_template.doc Response: The owner has filled out the required forms for the SWPPP, and the forms have been included within the SWPPP in this submittal. B. Pollution Prevention Plan (PPP) Max Greene 1. Appears adequately addressed at this time. Response: Comment noted. C. Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP) Max Greene 1. VRRM updated spread sheet appears to be for 5.2 acres of disturbance. The VRRM spreadsheet should be for the proposed new construction/disturbed area. The drainage area to the water quality structure appears to be @ 3/of an acre. Please Correct the VRRM Spreadsheet and show the drainage areas on the plan for conformation. Response: The VRRM spreadsheet has been adjusted to the area of disturbance rather than the parcel area. As a result, the stormwater results and design have been adiusted, as shown in the contract drawings and as detailed in the narrative. D. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) Max Greene 1. The Variance for the Modified Mud Traps is approved for this project due to the confined space on site and proximity to the flood plain. Response: Comment noted. Two (2)copies of the revised plans, calculations, and narrative have been provided, illustrating the responses above. We trust this information will allow you to complete your review for this application. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. Sincerely, HAZEN AND SAWYER, P.C.
