As a result, the stream buffer has been further refined and a determination made as to the impacts to the current site plan for Final Touch. Field inspections indicate that the stream's actual location is as shown below. The darker blue line is where the stream has been piped, through approvals which apparently took place before the current Water Protection Ordinance took effect. The dashed lines are where seeps and water channels were found, but it did not appears as if these were intermittent streams. Likewise, the ditches coming from Rt. 240, shown with buffers on the right side of this image, are not actually streams, and should not have the buffers shown. The blue line is an intermittent stream, which is flowing strongly through the pipe system (and The GIS layer provided on the County Web site provides this initial picture. Upon field inspection, the buffers in this picture are obviously incorrect. This is also an older photo, before the storage building site was construction at the trucking facility. 00 Albemarle County Community Development Engineering Review comments Page 2 of 4 may be perennial at that point), and has a defined channel and banks further upstream.

The engineering review for current development recommends denial to the plan at this time. The following items must be addressed before approval can be recommended: 1. The applicant must show water protection butters over all water resources on the parcel. The site appears to contain several water resource areas. It is clear that at least one intermittent stream is present on the parcel and, because the site is located in a water supply area, a 100ft buffer exists on this stream. Therefore, the piping of the stream as shown on the plan is not permitted by the Water Protection Ordinance. [17 -321] Please see the attached letter from the County Natural Resources Manager Tamara Ambler. A professional delineation of the water resources on the parcel is recommended before any revision is submitted so that all protected areas are known before redesign. 2. The site appears to have critical slopes. Please identify all critical slopes on the plan. Any disturbance of critical slopes will require a waiver. 3. The site does not appear to be designed to capture stormwater runoff to the maximum extent possible. It appears that close to half of the proposed impervious surfaces leave the site without any treatment. [I 7-312C] 4. The applicant needs to provide preliminary stormwater management calculations to demonstrate that the available area for the SWM facility is adequate. 5. Please provide a letter of intent from the owner of TMP 56 -87 permitting work to take place on the property. The letter should also show that owner of the parcel is willing to allow a permanent access easement through the property for the Final Touch site to Route 240. 6. Please show adequate sight distance from the existing entrance onto Route 240. 7. Please provide traffic generation figures for the combined entrance for the self storage facility and the Final Touch Tree Service site. 8. If used for access by the Final Touch site, the aisle on the self storage property will need to be upgraded to the current design standards in the ordinance. Please show all pertinent information regarding this aisle on this preliminary set showing that the aisle will be brought into compliance. 9. Please show a stubout at each end of the parking lot so that vehicles in the last spaces can back out. Current Development Engineering Review Comments Page 2 of 3 The following final site plan comments have been provided as a courtesy to the applicant and will not needtobeaddressedtoreceivepreliminaryapproval. 1. An analysis of the downstream stormwater conveyance system will be required during the final siteplanperMS -19. 2. The fire hydrant and an electric pole appear to need relocation because of the proposed wideningon240. Please show this utility work in the upcoming revisions. 3. All parking lots have a maximum allowable grade of 5 %. 4. The 25ft parking space next to the 18ft handicap spaces will need to be protected by a curbed island or the handicap parking spaces must also be 25tt deep. 5. Drainage easements will need to be shown over all pipes carrying offsite water.6. Please provide a curb radius near stormwater structure 4. Current Development Engineering Review Comments Page 3 of 3 Philip Custer From: Tamara Ambler Sent: Friday, March 28, 2008 4 52 PM To: Philip Custer Cc: Amy Pflaum Subject: water resources on TMP 56 -86 Phil, As you are already aware, TMP 56 -86 does not have a stream identified by USGS, and does show not a stream on the County's GIS stream layer. However, the County's Design Standards manual provides that streams that may not appear on USGS mapping resources may exist in the field if the feature has a drainage area of at least 5 acres or originates from a spring, and has a defined streambed and defined stream banks where the bed /channel materials and vegetation are distinct from the surrounding valley or swale (e g the channel has a rocky stream bed versus matted down grass or an eroded ditch) Based on my field review today I noted that there are two features on the site that appear to meet the criteria above. A well defined stream flows west to east across the site and discharges into a culvert under the asphalt lot This stream would require preservation of the 100 -foot buffer, and piping would be discouraged Piping would also require permits from both the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality A smaller feature joins this stream immediately upstream of the culvert under the asphalt lot A portion of it meets the criteria of a stream discussed above, but it not clear if this is a spring, seepage, or other discharge emanating from the adjacent property Before applying buffer requirements I would want to understand if this is a stream resource or something else I also noticed that the site was pretty wet - I'd recommend that the applicant obtain a professional delineation of the water resources on the parcel, to make sure that wetlands aren't present Thanksl Tamara Tamara Jo Ambler, CPESC Natural Resources Manager Albemarle County- Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville VA 22902 434) 296 -5832 x 3264 tambler @albemarle org Service uh r TO: Summer Frederick FROM: Gary Whelan, Civil Engineer DATE: March 28, 2008 RE: Site Plan Technical Review for: Final Touch - Preliminary SDP200800040 TM 56 -86 The below checked items apply to this site.

Effort should be made to coordinate the construction of these sites to minimize traffic interruption and construction costs. The radius of 13 feet at the east end of the property should be 25 feet and CG -6 should be used. The flow line at the eastern entrance should be adjusted to allow for future extension of the right turn lane. Sight distance towards the east needs to be shown at this entrance. The drainage areas need to be checked on the road sections. It appears that the centerline of the road is the divide and this section of road is in a full super section. Structure EX5 needs to be relocated instead of removed and because the spread on EX -4 is greater than the allowable spread.

Proffer V- 5.3.1 -ci is missing from the proffers at the begimling of the plan. The ingress to the site off route 29 should either be a yield condition or accommodate a proper merge according to AASHTO standard merge lengths. The egress onto route 29 needs to have a lane configuration and lengths to accommodate the queue from the traffic study queue analysis. The lane shifts on route 29 need to be a minimum of 720 feet in length. The lane shift on Northwest Passage needs to be in accordance with the design speed of the road. The CG -6 on the north side of the entrance needs to have a minimum 12 foot offset and an appropriate taper to tie back into the pavement on route 29.

The proposed ROW line falls outside of the back of the curb but in the middle of the sidewalk. VDOT prefers that the ROW be placed 1 foot outside of the sidewalk. If this is not possible due to the setback requirements of the existing structure, the sidewalk will need a maintenance agreement, permit and bond with VDOT.
