(This submittal included sheets L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 L6, L6.1, and L7 dated June 21, 2010.) 1. Please double -check and correct the following plant quantities: a. Sheet L2: Hydrangea arborescens - 72 or 73? b. Sheet L4: Chionanthus virginicus — 2 or 3? c. Sheet L4: Cornus florida — 2 or 3? Adjust the overall count on Sheet L5 accordingly. 2. Add the following note to the landscape plan: "All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall be allowed to reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited. Shrubs and trees shall be pruned minimally and only to support the overall health of the plant." 3. Sheet L4 includes a note that says, "Future Phase Planting ". A playing field is shown in the area, but the applicant has recently indicated that the field is no longer proposed and changes to the existing preschool are planned. The area of L4 should reflect the current proposal and should be coordinated with the minor amendment submitted for the preschool. When the plan shows this information, a determination can be made regarding whether or not the planting can be delayed until an indefinite point in the future, as currently indicated by the note on the plan. 4. On Sheet L7, in the Luminaire Schedule, please correct the quantity of fixture type A. Are 60 proposed? 5. Include the following note on the lighting plan: "Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000 or more initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public roads and property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one -half footcandle." of A Ar? `rRG[N1P COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 -4596 Phone (434) 296 -5832 Fax (434) 972 -4126 Project: Saint Anne's Belfield; Minor Site Plan Amendment (SDP- 2010- 00053) Plan preparer: Mr. Thomas L. Woltz, CLA Owner or rep.: Saint Anne's Belfield Private School Plan received date: 30 June 2010 Date of comments: 13 August 2010 Reviewer: Phil Custer The first submittal of the minor site plan amendment to modify the planting plan for Saint Anne's Belfield Private School, received on 30 June 2010, has been reviewed. The following comments must be addressed before engineering review can recommend approval to the plan: 1. Please remove the playing field east of the central athletic field from the site plan. Instead, show what is to remain in the area after the demolition of the existing buildings and parking lots. This field was removed from the plans by SDP - 2010 -00047 which was recently approved. Please make sure the graphics are coordinated with the other site plan amendments prepared by Kurt Gloeckner. 2. On the last approved minor amendment for practice artificial turf field area, SDP - 2009 - 00037, there was no sidewalk south of the loading area to the cafeteria on the east side of the school travelway. Therefore, this minor amendment will need to show all of these new sidewalk improvements and all other changes in the area that have been made to the construction documents. Please list all of these modifications on the cover sheet and make sure each change is framed in at least one of the sheets of this set. In addition, the sidewalk appears to be placed along Faulconer Road with a curb. Is this what is being currently proposed? If so, VDOT approval will be necessary and hydraulic calculations will be needed on the next submittal. To help with the review of this plan, please show the VDOT ROW line on all sheets. Please also show where the eastern crosswalk from the practice field path crossing Faulconer Road and account for this foot traffic accordingly in the sidewalk network. Please also provide a detail of the sidewalk. If the sidewalk is within the VDOT ROW, then it must meet VDOT standards or the school will need to sign a maintenance agreement with VDOT. The tree placed on top of the storm sewer pipe in front of the entrance wall should be removed. Show the sight distance line from the entrance looking east to Faulconer Drive to make sure the placement of the 8ft wall is not compromising the safe sight distance established at this entrance. The sight distance line should be drawn per VDOT standards. Faulconer Drive is shown with proposed grades that differ from the surveyed contours shown on all of the other minor amendments submitted to this office. Please clarify. If no changes to the roadway are being proposed with this plan, the existing survey of the road should be used. Several shrubs have been proposed on top of a few drainage structures. A water line appears to be relocated with this plan. Is this line public or private? The new line does not tie into an existing line on the plan. Please clarify. If this line is public, the minor amendment cannot be approved until the service authority grants approval of the realignment.

The locations of the parking lot lights appear to be different in the photometric plan and the landscape plan. Please clarify.
