To: Gerald Gatobu, Current Development Project Planner
From: Phil Custer, Current Development engineering review
Date: 15 April 2008
Subject: Sieg Maintenance Preliminary Site Plan (SDP- 2008 - 00052)
The preliminary site plan for the Sieg Maintenance property has been reviewed. The engineering review
for current development can recommend approval to the plan after the following changes have been made.
1. Please show curb and gutter on the plan where it has not been waived. A waiver of the
curb and gutter standard will not be given for this project except at those locations to the
east end of the site where curb cuts allow water to pass into the biofilter and Swale.
Engineering review feels that allowing water to travel through landscaped parking islands
would create stabilization issues and long term erosion problems. From each of these curb
cuts where the waiver has been granted, there should be a grassed channel that is kept free
of landscaping or other groundcover.
2. It appears there are several issues with the number of lot lines and parcels for this single
building. Each separate TMP parcel needs the appropriate amount of spaces based on the
building square footage within it. Boundary line adjustments for these properties seem
unavoidable. It appears combining TMP's 59 -23D, 59 -23F, 59 -2301, and the Folly Drive
easement into one parcel would simplify this application.
3. Please update the parking and traffic study for the LTACH development to include the
amendment to the Sieg Maintenance parking lot and vehicle demand loads.
4. Please provide vehicular interparcel connection to TMP 59 -23B. [32.7.2.5]
5. Please show all critical slopes on the plan even though they may not exist on the parcel.
6. Please show adequate sight distance onto Route 250 on the plan.
7. Please provide pedestrian access to LTACH through the Northridge site. A minor
amendment for the Northridge site should be processed at this time for the improvements
shown to TMP 59 -23B in the LTACH and Sieg Maintenance preliminary site plan
applications. [32.7.2.8]
8. The area allotted for SWM appears to be large enough for water quality treatment and
detention. The final review of the SWM computations will be performed during the WPO
submittal.
The following comments are not required for preliminary site plan approval but will need to be
addressed during the final site plan process.
1. The width of the curb cannot be included in the width of the sidewalk. The sidewalk on
the southern edge of the building measures to be 4.5'.
2. Sidewalks adjacent to parking spaces must either be 6ft in width or 5ft in width with
bumper blocks in the parking spaces. Sidewalk widths are measured exclusive of curb.

3. Parking spaces may have a depth of 16ft, if a 2ft overhang is available, but the 16ft
distance must be measured from the end of the space (the travelway) to the face of the
curb (or as shown in this instance, a bumper block).
4. There is not an available 211 overhang for the parking spaces at the western end of the lot
due to the row of bushes.
5. The addition of the northeastern parking lot displaces many utility items that appear to be
necessary for the building. Where are these items to be relocated? If some of the items
are to remain, the sidewalk must be widened to accommodate.
6. The maximum grade in the parking lot is 5 %. This includes areas where there is parallel
parking.
7. It appears that a dumpster pad may be needed by the building occupants.

From: Phil Custer, Current Development engineering review
Date: 15 April 2008
Subject: UVA Long Term Acute Care Hospital Preliminary Site plan (SDP -2008- 00053)
The preliminary site plan for the UVA Long Term Acute Care Hospital property has been reviewed. The
engineering review for current development can recommend approval to the plan after the following
changes have been made.
1. Please provide an amendment to the traffic impact and parking study to include the
additional parking being proposed for the Sieg Maintenance site.
2. Please provide interconnection between the three parcels involved in this plan so that
Route 250 will not be used as the interconnecting travelway. [32.7.2.5]
3. Please provide a Modified simple spreadsheet for each SWM drainage area on site. Please
note that as policy, engineering review does not allow the water quality treatment of one
drainage area to "overtreat" for other areas of the site. The runoff from each watershed
leaving the site must be treated to the required removal rate. For instance, the biofilter
will have a separate removal rate computation and it is likely that the resulting removal
rate would be closer to 65% than 50% as shown on the plan.
4. The use of the parking spaces of the Kirtley Warehouse as mentioned in the parking study
will require waivers of County Code 4.12.15.c and 4.12.17.a from the 'Zoning
Administrator. The access drive to the warehouse is approximately a 15% grade. This is
steeper than the ordinance requirement of a maximum 10% grade for travelways and
maximum 5% grade for parking areas. Engineering review will not support either of these
waivers.
5. Please move the entrance from the rear of the hospital farther north. Engineering believes
the entrance is too close to the intersection of the access easement and Route 250.
6. Please show all of the grading necessary for the creation of the biofilter facility. This will
be helpful in writing the critical slope wavier report.
7. A critical slope waiver report will be written separate from this comment letter.
The following comments are not required for preliminary site plan approval but will need to be
addressed during the final site plan process.
1. The width of the curb cannot be included in the width of the sidewalk. Sidewalks
adjacent to parking spaces must be 6tt in width or bumper blocks must be provided.
2. It appears from the grading of the accessway on the southwest side of the building that the
filterra boxes will need to be relocated so they are designed to capture as much water as
possible while still having a bypass inlet available.
3. It appears an inlet is needed in the ambulance drop -off area.

County GIS web.
Comments for SDP200800052 LTACH
1. The sanitary sewer is shown as being connected along route US Route 250 on the
LTACH site plan. The sanitary sewer connection should snatch the sanitary sewer
connection shown in the sanitary sewer extension plans.
2. Indicate on the site plan the maximum number of employees.
3. Street trees, Interior parking lot trees, and canopy calculations are site specific.
Plantings on one parcel cannot account for calculations on another parcel. Street
trees along state route 250 for TMP 59 -23B1 must be calculated separate from those
for North Ridge, and the same goes for interior parking lot landscaping, and canopy
calculations. A clear definition of boundaries i.e. boundary line adjustment would
remedy this concern.
Please contact Gerald Gatobu at the Division of Zoning and Current Development at 296 -5832 ext.

Dear Mr. Brooks:
Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the April 14` 2007 Site Review Com nittee
Meeting:
SDP - 2008 -00052 Sieg Maintenance — Preliminary (Gerald Gatobu)
The additional parking at this site to support the LTACH building will increase the use of
the existing entrance.
Previous comments form the traffic study for the LTACH site were provided by VDOT
and include comments referring to inter - parcel connections to allow traffic to access the
main entrance where there may be a traffic signal.
The site plan should not be approved until comments by the county and VDOT pertaining
to the traffic study have been addressed.
SDP - 2008 -00053 UVA Long Term Acute Care Hospital — Preliminary (Gerald Gatobu)
Previous comments by the county and VDOT about the TIA need to be addressed prior to
site plan approval. These comments discuss inter- parcel connections with the adjacent
Northridge Hospital and adequate access for a proposed Fire Station and Church on the
two back parcels which appear to share an entrance with this site.
SDP- 2008 -00054 Timberwood Grill — Ma_ior (Summer Frederick)
There are plantings along route 1722 in front of the parking area that are proposed on this
plan that lie within the sight distance easement for the intersection of route 1722 and
1754. These plantings appear to restrict the sight distance at the intersection and need to
be relocated to allow safe ingress and egress at the intersection.

Joel,
Below are my comments on the Traffic Study for the North Ridge Development:
The growth rate used for the background development is very excessive. Based
on a review of the historical trends the rate should be between 0.5% and 1.0% not
5.5 %;
The study did not include a recently proposal for Church and Fire Station uses on
the two rear parcels. These changes need to be included;
The existing entrances are approximately 1990 ft for the main entrance and 1560
ft for the service entrance from the existing signalized intersection to the west
Route 677 and Route 250). Based on these distance the main entrance appears to
be the best location for a possible signal (The minimum spacing for signals on
Arterial Roadway with 45 MPH is 1760 ft).
Based on the proposed uses inter - parcel connections within the properties are
needed to allows full use of a proposed signalized intersection. Recommend all
the parcels be interconnected.

Subject: RE: SIEG Curb and Gutter Waiver
Hello Brajesh,
I took the sketch you sent me earlier today to our group's engineering meeting. it was determined that the parking
lot drainage design that was shown in the plan is acceptable.
In the final plan, a spread calculation for each curb opening and a calculation confirming that the concentrated
water flowing through travelways is kept below 1 cfs will both be necessary. It would also be a good idea to adjust
the landscape plan to remove any plantings in the area of the curb cut to allow an open channel to the biofilter.
These channels should also be sized for the 2 and 10 year storms in the final plan.
I just noticed today that there appears to be some significant cut (4' to 5') at the outlet of the biofilter
facility overtop of the water and sewer lines. The service authority usually doesn't perform a detailed review in the
preliminary stages so this may not be allowed in the final plan. It might be a good idea to investigate alternatives
now while still in the conceptual stage.
Thanks,
Phil

Subject: SIEG Curb and Gutter Waiver
Hi Phil,
Please find the attachment of Landscape Plan for the SIEG Maintenance project. We have changed the
configuration of landscape islands in the parking lot. A curb is proposed around the trees in order to avoid any
long term erosion problem. At the same time we maintained the sheet flow through out the parking lot. Please let
me if this is the acceptable design to the county in order to get curb and gutter waiver.
Thanks.

RE: ARB2008 -00048 UVA Long Term Acute Care Hospital
Tax Map 59, Parcels 23B, 23B1, 23C1, 23D and 23F
Dear Mr. Wardell:
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
May 19, 2008. The Board approved the request, by a vote of 3:0, pending staff administrative approval of the
following conditions and a work session with the ARB to include the review of conditions 1, 7, 13 and 22:
1. Revise the design of the LTACH building to eliminate the non - traditional, disjointed appearance of the
EC elevation. This design will be reviewed in a work session. The elevation may be revised at the
discretion of the architect, as follows:
Consider extending the cornice of the entry part of the building to return and tie in with the
stair tower; likewise, on the western tower to return its cornice to tie in with the stair tower.
The truncated roof over the two side towers would benefit by returning in a hip.
The slot of brick on the two side towers might benefit from having cast stone heads, possibly
a medium brick color rather than the dark color, and the continuation of the foundation brick
across the recesses to tie the elevation together.
2. Add the following note to the site and architectural drawings: "Mechanical equipment shall not be
visible from the EC."
3. Provide complete proposed grading. Show tree lines to remain. Show tree protection fencing. Ensure
that existing trees to remain are drawn at actual size. Revise proposed grading to avoid the drip line of
trees to remain.
4. Provide on the plan the number of required parking spaces and the number of proposed parking
spaces for each parcel. Parking proposed in excess of the number required will likely result in a
recommendation for reduced parking area. Provide on the plan the number of required parking
spaces and the number of proposed parking for each parcel. Replace the parking spaces proposed
in excess of the number required with interior parking lot trees along the western side of the Sieg
parking lot and between the new parking lot and the eastern elevation of the Sieg building.
5. Provide an existing conditions plan drawn at the same scale as the layout and landscape plans.
6. Provide a landscape plan that identifies the species of each proposed tree.
7. Provide an elevation of the stone site walls at the LTACH and Northridge sites. The overall stone site
walls should have reduced heights in the steps of the walls and more gradual steps.
8. Provide a landscape plan that identifies specific species for proposed plants.
9. Provide EC trees at 3 caliper. Ensure that trees are planted at least 35' on center along the EC.
10. Provide an existing conditions sheet that identifies all existing trees for each site.
11. Provide all shrubs at 24" height minimum at planting.
12. Revise the proposal to provide trees along the east side of the LTACH building outside of utilities and
easements.
13. Provide additional details clarifying how the appearance of the rip rap area between the biofilter wall
and the EC will be made appropriate for the EC. Revise the rip rap and other site elements, as
necessary, to establish an appropriate appearance.
14. Provide manufacturer's cut sheets for each proposed lighting fixture. Include the cut sheets on a
sheet of the site plan set.
15. Provide for review a sample of the Sherwin Williams "Rockwood Shutter Green" color that is proposed
for all the light fixtures.
16. Revise the photometric plan to provide footcandle values out to zero or the property line. Clearly
indicate the property lines on the photometric plans.
17. Provide a break line /match line on the photometric plans.
18. Provide footcandle levels for the OA and OB fixtures at the biofilter proposed at the southeast corner
of the Sieg site.
19. Reduce the overall height of OB and OD fixtures in the Sieg parking lot to be less than the height of
the Sieg building.
20. Include the following note on the site 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.
21. Consider providing an off -white color for the storefront and the metal cornice work instead of the
bright white currently specified.
22. Provide additional samples for alternate spandrel glazing.
23. Continue the row of shrubs around the southern end of the grass planting area in the water easement.
Please provide:
1. Two full sets of revised drawings addressing each of these conditions. Include updated ARB revision
dates on each drawing and an ARB approval signature panel.
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, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski

From: Phil Custer, Current Development engineering review
Date: 10 .Tune 2008
Subject: UVA Longterm Acute Care Hospital critical slope waiver request (SDP-2007-00157)
The critical slope waiver request has been reviewed. The engineering analysis of the request follows:
Description of critical slope area and proposed disturbance:
The critical slope disturbance on parcels 59 -23B and 59 -23B 1 will be needed for the placement of the
building, surrounding travelways, and a loading dock. It should be noted at this time that there are
outstanding issues concerning interconnection and parking that may affect the site layout and ultimate
disturbance of critical slopes. The analysis provided in this report is based on the current drawing dated
04- 28 -08.
There are two distinct areas of critical slopes affected by this development plan. The first being a 380ft
long, narrow strip on the west side of the Northridge property (TMP 59 -23B). This section appears to have
been construction when the Northridge parking lot was developed. This slope is adequately established
and appears to be well - maintained.
The second section of critical slopes exists above (south and east ot) the warehouse parking lot on the
Kirtley property (TMP 29- 23B1). After a brief site investigation, the critical slopes in this area seem to be
natural. The trees on the slope appear to be mature and no scrub vegetation is present. Though, due to its
location between two level building sites, it is possible the slope was created by the development of the
property decades ago.
TMP 59 -23B (The Northridge Propertt)
Areas Acres
Total site 5.03 acres approximately
Critical slopes 0.80 16 ° of site
Critical slopes disturbed 0.32 1 41°'o of critical slopes
TRIP 59 -23B1 (The Kird , Pro errs)
Areas Acres
Total site 3.50 acres approximately
Critical slopes 0.63 18% of site
Critical slopes disturbed 0.30 48% of critical slopes
Exemptions to critical slopes waivers for driveways, roads and utilities without reasonable
alternative locations:
A portion of this disturbance, the area needed to construct the biofilter, is exempt. Although, it appears an
alternative site layout or a smaller footprint would eliminate the need for a SWM facility on the critical
slope. [4.2.6c] 'The combined area of the exempted critical slope disturbance (which has been included in
Albemarle anty Community Development

the above calculations) is 0.08 acres. This area is approximately 13% of the critical slope disturbance.
Compliance with Zoning Ordinance 18 -4.2:
movement of soil and rock"
Construction of the building and other site features will most likely require a temporary increased flow
down the critical slopes during a rain event. Movement of soil can be caught with an appropriatesedimenttrappingmeasurebeforesiterunoffenterstheexistingstormwatersystem.
excessive stormwater runoff'
Stormwater runoff will be controlled on site by an underground detention facility and a biotilter. No
site runoff will run across critical slopes in the post development condition.
siltation"
Inspection and bonding by the County will ensure siltation control during construction. Properstabilizationandmaintenancewillensurelongtermstability.
loss of aesthetic resource"
The critical slope on the Northridge property (TMP 59 -23B) is visible from 250 and the Northridgebuilding. The critical slope on the Kirtley property is only visible from the on -site warehouse. On
both parcels, the critical slopes are covered by mature evergreen trees.
septic effluent"
This site is serviced by public sewer.
Based on the review above, there are no engineering concerns with the proposed disturbance to critical
slopes that cannot be alleviated with standard engineering and erosion control practices. Therefore,
engineering review recommends the approval of the critical slope waiver.

From: Phil Custer, Current Development engineering review
Date: 10 June 2008
Subject: UVA Long Term Acute Care hospital Preliminary Site plan (SDP -2008- 00053)
The preliminary site plan for the UVA Long Term Acute Care Hospital property has been reviewed. The
engineering review for current development cannot recommend approval with this latest submittal. The
following continents are provided.
Please provide an amendment to the traffic impact and parking study to include the
additional parking being proposed for the Sieg Maintenance site.
Rev. 1) The existing conditions and parking upgrades on the Sieg Maintenance site
were considered in the latest study but the increase in traffic to the existing entrance
onto Route 250 was not considered. The study should again be revised to consider the
impacts of'the Sieg parking lot expansion to the LOS of the Sieg Entrance. The LOS of
the existing condition should be compared to LOS the proposed condition both with
and without all Interconnection between the Northridge and Sieg sites.
Regarding the latest amendment to the parking and traffic study, the follonirrg
comments are provided by engineering review.
a. Engineering review recommends the applicant take more data on the existing
parking demand for the Northridge and Sieg Maintenance sites. During the
past two weeks countJ staff has visited the sites and has taken parking
inventory. Our findings con flict with the results from Kirnley -Horn and
Associates, Inc'.s single dal of parking counts. The differences are enough to
justify a more detailed study of several random day's. This recommendation is
based on the basic data in the table below and from the initial visits to the site
where a count was not taken but more problematic parking issues was noted.

b. The Northridge parking lot is not shown accurately in the site plan. There are
stripped handicap aisles to the west of the Northridge building that are not
shown on the plan.
c. The building located on the Sieg lot does not appear to be a warehouse use. It
appears that it is a "maintenance" or mechanical building used to repair fleet
vehicles.
d. There are no calculations showing that a signal is warranted for the Northridge

site. Please provide that data and calculation.
e. The LT.4 CH site plan mentions parking spaces available at the Kirde} Office
building and rvareliouse but the parking stud,, does not mention these towards
the parking demand This should be clarified.
2. Please provide interconnection between the three parcels involved in this plan so that
Route 250 will not be used as the interconnecting travelway. [32.7.2.5]
Rev. 1) Comment not addressed. Engineering review recommends an interparcel
connection between TMP',s 59 -23B and 59 -23D.
3. Please provide a Modified simple spreadsheet for each SWM drainage area on site. Please
note that as policy, engineering review does not allow the water quality treatment of one
drainage area to "overtreat" for other areas of the site. The runoff from each watershed
leaving the site must be treated to the required removal rate. For instance, the biofilter
will have a separate removal rate computation and it is likely that the resulting removal
rate would be closer to 65% than 50 ° 10 as shown on the plan.
Rev. 1) Please note that this development is considered "redevelopment in a water
suppl3l protection area. " The resulting removal rates for water quality watersheds 1, 2,
and 3 that I found were 46%, 95 %, and 38 %, respectively, using the impervious areas
provided in the table on C4. The use ofStormfilters in watershed 1 and 3 are
acceptable, but please note that Stormfrlters are given a 50% removal rate fi•oin the
state, not 65%. The biofilter must be sized to treat 65 %.
6. Please show all of the grading necessary for the creation of the biofilter facility. This will
be helpful in writing the critical slope wavier report.
Rev. 1) Engineering review feels that the grading of the biofilter can be worked out in
the final stages of the plan. Additional disturbances to critical slopes the biofilter
construction will be considered exempt, through 18- 4.2.6.c, if a waiver is granted now.
It should be noted that the biofilter does not appear to be sized to achieve a 65"„
removal rate, and the embankment slopes are twice as steep as the alloirable grade
3:1).
7. A critical slope waiver report will be written separate from this comment letter.
The following comments are not required for preliminary site plan approval but will need to be
addressed during the final site plan process.

Subject: Sieg Maintenance Preliminary Site Plan (SDP -2008- 00052)
The preliminary site plan for the Sieg Maintenance property has been reviewed. The engineering review
for current development cannot recommend approval to the plan with this latest submittal. The following
comments are provided.
3. Please update the parking and traffic study for the LTACH development to include the
amendment to the Sieg Maintenance parking lot and vehicle demand loads.
Rev. 1) Please refer to Comment 1) n f the LTACH preliminary site plan above.
4. Please provide vehicular interparcel connection to TMP 59 -23B. [32.7.2.5]
Rev. 1) Comment not addresser. Engineering review recommends an interparcel
connection between TMP's 59 -23B and 59 -23D.
5. Please show all critical slopes on the plan even though they may not exist on the parcel.
Rev. 1) Comment not addressed.
6. Please show adequate sight distance onto Route 250 on the plan.
Rev. 1) Comment not addressed.
7. Please provide pedestrian access to LTACH through the Northridge site. A minor
amendment for the Northridge site should be processed at this time for the improvements
shown to TMP 59 -23B in the LTACH and Sieg Maintenance preliminary site plan
applications. [32.7.2.8]
Rev. 1) This comment has been addressed with the LTACH site plan.
8. The area allotted for SWM appears to be large enough for water quality treatment and
detention. The final review of the SWM computations will be performed during the WPO

submittal.
Rev. 1) Again, the area allotted for SWM treatment appears to be large enough to treat
just the additional impervious area added with this development. However, the biofilter
with its current drainage area is undersized. The details of the SUM plan will be
worked out during the review of the WPO plan. Engineering review suggests bypassing
with majority ofpost- construction runoff (equivalent to the pre - development condition)
around the biofilter so that it is not undersized and becomes a maintenance issue.
The following comments are not required for preliminary site plan approval but will need to be
addressed during the final site plan process.
1. The width of the curb cannot be included in the width of the sidewalk. The sidewalk on
the southern edge of the building measures to be 4.5'.
2. Sidewalks adjacent to parking spaces must either be 611 in width or 5ft in width with
bumper blocks in the parking spaces. Sidewalk widths are measured exclusive of curb.
5. The addition of the northeastern parking lot displaces many utility items that appear to be
necessary for the building. Where are these items to be relocated? If some of the items
are to remain, the sidewalk must be widened to accommodate.
6. The maximum grade in the parking lot is 5 %. This includes areas where there is parallel
parking.
7. It appears that a dumpster pad may be needed by the building occupants.
8. (Rev. 1) An adequate channel analysis of the downstream drainage sy :stem will be
required with the WPO plan.
