Lead Engineer: Allan Schuck, Engineer
The preliminary site plan for Montessori Community School, received on 23 April 2007, has been
reviewed. The engineering review for current development requests changes to this preliminary site plan.
Some of the following review comments are final site plan comments but need to be addressed with the
preliminary site plan because the changes could affect the layout of the site:
1. Please show all the proposed phases on a full size sheet. annot confirm that the information shown
on each phase meets code requirements. I Le.Z 30sceX
2. The conceptual SWM plan appears fine for the final design. How will SWM be addressed going from
one phase to the next phase? This needs to be adequately addressed with the preliminary plan. [ 18-
32.5.6k]
3. Please show sheet 02 of 09 at a scale of 1 " =30' to show the entire topography of property. [I 8-32.5.6d]
4. Please show the final grading incorporated with each phase and the final overall layout. [.18- 32.5.6d]
5. Please label the existing adjacent street names, state route numbers, etc... on the plans. [18- 32.5.6i]
Please provide curb and gutter along the entire length of the parking and travelway. Curb and gutter in
parking areas and along travelways are required per County Code section 18- 4.12.15g. The applicant
may request a waiver for the. construction of curb and gutter section in accordance with County Code
Section 18- 4.12.2c2.
7. Please label the types of the proposed paths, trails, and sidewalks on the plans. [18- 32.5.6n]
8. Please show existing and proposed traffic signage on the plan sheets. [18- 32.5.6n]
9. All storm sewer pipes need to be a minimum size of 15 ". [DM, section 505.E -5]
10. The following relates to the proposed drainage of the parking areas, interior swales, and travelway. It
appears that the proposed drainage will not get to the DI as shown in the proposed grading. The
interior swales appear to hinder the flow of the proposed swales. It appears that additional drop inlets
or pipes are needed in these areas. [I 8-32.5.6k]
11. The applicant has submitted a SWM plan to the County for review. This plan cannot be reviewed until
the preliminary site plan has been approved by the County. [Policy]
SP- 2006 -00038 was approved by the County on 14 March 2007.

Dear Mr. Deputy:
Patrick Lawrence, Current

Fax (434) 972 -4126
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
February 4, 2008. The Board approved the request, by a vote of 4:0, pending staff administrative approval of
the following conditions:
1. A 4' x 6' Hardiplank panel sample illustrating the proposed siding colors should be put up for review
by the Board to confirm that the red is a good color as viewed from the EC.
2. Provide confirmation on whether the fence is to be white or black. Black would be preferable on the
hillside.
3. The windows with the center panels on the second floor facing the EC should be divided into 3
transoms instead of 2 transoms to continue the rhythm of the side transoms.
4. Revise the plan to resolve the following issues:
a) The "2 FG" label at south end of Rolkin frontage points to no trees.
b) The tree between the LT and the SA in the north end of the planting area is without a label.
c) The plant list lists 1 LS but 3 are on plan.
d) The plant list lists 5 QC but 7 are on plan.
e) The plant list lists 3 OV but 2 are on plan.
I) The plant list lists 5 IV but 7 are on plan.
g) The locations of several ground /shrub layer plants in the list are not specified on the plan. These
were part of bioretention and were not removed from the plan, but should be.
h) At the south end of the slope, provide shrubs in the area where trees cannot be planted due to
existing utilities. A mix of tall shrubs would be appropriate.
i) Provide the White Ash at 3 ' /2" caliper at planting.
j) One of the White Ash is proposed outside the limits of phase I construction. It should be within
limits of construction.
k) It appears that the White Ash will conflict with the overhead line. Relocate the trees so they can
grow without conflicts.
1) Regarding the 36" Pecan tree in the parking lot, the tree protection fencing and the demolition
aren't coordinated.
m) Proposed grading extends into the forsythia shrub mass located south of the existing LE -1
structure.
n) The demolition plan shows a water line to be demolished. It extends outside the Phase l area and
under a cherry tree that is not identified for removal.
Please provide:
1. Two full sets of revised drawings addressing each of these conditions. Include updated ARB revision
dates on each drawing.
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 staffs 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.

Dear Mr. Deputy:
I have reviewed the revised drawings for the above - referenced project, including:
Landscape Plan sheet SP -6 with revision date of 4/10/08
Site plan sheets SP -1 through SP -5 and SP -7 through SP -8 with revision date of 2/27/08
Architectural sheets Al -A3 dated 26 Mar 2008
Hardiplank panel painted with Cabot Stains #C3 "Baked Brick Red"
The revisions included in these drawings address the outstanding conditions of ARB approval. You may consider this
letter your Certificate of Appropriateness. This approval is predicated on the fact that the design and materials, as
proposed and exhibited for review, will be used. The acceptance of approval implies that the applicant has agreed to
execute the design as indicated on the site plan, attachments, materials, samples, and other submittal items outlined
above and presented for review. Any change in the approved design or materials will require an amendment to the
plan and must be reviewed and approved by the Architectural Review Board.
Please note the following:
1. This application is approved with the condition that mechanical equipment shall not be visible from the Entrance
Corridor.
2. Changes made to the site or architectural plans after issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness can delay the
signing of mylars and the approval of building permits. It is in the applicant's best interest to notify ARB staff of
such changes and to initiate the review of amendments to ARB - approved plans to avoid future delays.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Reviewer: Jonathan Sharp
A. Final Site Plan — Phase 1
1. All final site plans and stormwater management plans require a professional seal, signed and
dated. [18-32.6.1]
2. Proposed slopes steeper than 3:1 require low- maintenance (not grass) ground cover specified on
the plans. [DM]
3. The proposed guardrail should be extended 40 -50 ft north along the steep slopes for safety. [ 18-
32.7.2]
4. The following ordinance requirements are not met for the temporary parking area: [18 -4.12, DM]
a. proposed parking spaces exceed 5% in slope
b. proposed travelways exceed 10 %n in slope
c. proposed parking area does not meet surface material requirements
d. curb and gutter is not proposed on all parking /travelway areas
e. sidewalks are not concrete, do not maintain 5' in width
I understand that the proposed parking area is temporary. However, waivers must be approved in
order to approve the site plan as shown. I cannot find any previous waivers addressing these items.
Please provide copies of existing waivers addressing the proposed parking layout, if any.
Otherwise, please submit a waiver request, or meet all ordinance requirements. If required, the
waiver process is administrative (does not require Planning Commission action.)
5. A portion of the parking area drains uncontained down the steep hillside as it bypasses the
proposed curbing. Please direct all drainage away from the steep hillside to avoid potential
drainage and erosion problems. [18- 32.6.6d]
6. Typical sections for proposed channels with locations referenced from plan view sheets are
required on the plans. [DM]
7. The Albemarle County general construction notes are required on the plans. [DM]
8. Grate types for drop inlets must be specified on the plans. [DM]
9. Roof drain locations, profiles, and calculations are required. See also comment 12. [DM]
10. Drainage profiles for proposed channels, existing pipes, and proposed pipes must be provided on
the plans. [DM]
11. Drainage computations are substantially incomplete. The drainage areas provided for the pipe
computations are incorrect. Inlet drainage area maps are required. Drop inlet calculations are
required. Culvert calculations are required. Ditch computations are required. Outlet protection
calculations are required. [DM]
B. Stormwater Management Plan
12. In order to utilize the cistern for detention, details and calculations for the gutter system must be
provided to ensure that the system will actually convey the 2 and 10 year storm into the cistern. If
Albemarle County Community Development
Engineering Review Comments
Page 2 of 2
the 2 and 10 year storm does not make it into the cistern, the cistern is not providing any detention.
Detention storage and routings must be over and above the assumed initial storage volume and the
required stormwater quality volume (i.e., storage and routing begins above assumed volume of

gallons. [DM]
13. No details of the cistern have been provided. Cistern details are required, matching stormwater
compuations. The details should be to scale, provide all invert elevation information, outlet
structures, etc. An adequate depth of soil cover should be provided over the facility. [DM]
14. It appears that the overflow pipe for the cistern will be running uphill. [DM]
15. The routing model and results are required for the cistern. No hydrographs have been provided.
DM]
16. The critical duration computations are incorrect. The calculations provided in the VSMH are only
for preliminary facility sizing, and are not based on the facility volume or outlet structures. The
critical duration storm is also dependent on the areas bypassing the facility (as you are calculating
the critical duration storm causing the peak rate of runoff for the entire watershed, not simply the
facility). In this case, the area bypassing the facility represents 95% of the drainage area. In cases
like this, the critical duration storm that represents the peak rate of runoff over the watershed will
almost always be 0 minutes (because almost all of the runoff is unrouted, and the peak rate of
runoff for an unrouted watershed always occurs at a critical duration of 0 minutes). [DM]
17. Albemarle County general stormwater notes are required on the plans. [DM]
18. The stormwater maintenance agreement associated with Montessori School may need to be
updated. The proposed SWM facility appears to be located on TMP 12A. Please contact Pam
Shifflett to verify whether or not the agreement requires to be updated.
19. A SWM bond will be computed by the County once the plans have been approved. Please provide
a cost estimate for the proposed cistern.
C. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
20. The limits of clearing and grading must include all proposed demolition. [DM, VESCH]
21. A parking area, staging area, and stockpile location are required. [DM]
22. The embankment for the proposed trap must be flat. [VESCH]
23. An adequate channel analysis [MS -19] must be provided for the site. The existing pipe system
from structure OF -3 to the outfall into the Luxor Pond must be analyzed for adequacy. Existing
drainage structure information and drainage area maps should be included with the approved
Pavilions at Pantops Site Plans and Luxor Road and SWM plans, and can be made available upon
request at the County Office Building Department of Community Development. [DM, VESCH]

Date: October 16, 2008
Subject: SDP 2008 -98 Montessori Community School Parking Waiver Request
Please be advised that I have not reviewed the 5 parking waivers which have been submitted. As is
our practice, the Planner and Engineer should conduct their review first and make a recommendation
to me. Please be advised that the majority of the parking is existing and may be legally nonconforming
to the regulations.
I have reviewed the information relating to the number of parking spaces proposed for phase 1. 1
support the applicant's proposal of 43 spaces to serve phase 1 of 200 children. Utilizing the agreed -
upon ratio of one space per 5.6 students, the proposed number is slightly above the number
calculated for 200 students (36 spaces). We do not object and do not find this to exceed the
maximum allowed. We understand that there may be higher parking needs for phase 1 when most of
the faculty and staff are first established.

Subject: Planting around Montessori greenhouse
Alex,
I've looked over your sketches and I have the following suggestions regarding the holly planting:
1. If you're going with the American Holly, you may need to space the trees a little wider apart depending on the
anticipated mature spread of the tree. The ARB is looking for screening, but 10' spacing is probably not the best thing for
a tree that grows 20' wide or wider. Check your sources for the variety you'll be proposing and the recommended spacing.
2. For a more natural appearance, please stagger the row, particularly the upper end (the end nearest the greenhouse) a
bit more.
3. Extend the row up to the 5" cypress.
4. Be sure to update the plant list/schedule to include these plants. The note reading "Note: Minimum height of proposed
evergreen trees....." won't be necessary once the schedule is updated.
5. Your revised grading shows the 114' topo line very close to the 4" spruce. If the spruce is drawn as a symbol rather
than at actual size, the proposed grading will likely extend into the drip line of the tree. If that is the case, the grading
should be revised to avoid the drip line.

Subject: RE: Planting around Montessori greenhouse
Margaret,
As a follow up to our phone call this morning, attached are two exhibits that I believe addresses the ARB memo that Pat
forwarded to me this morning (included as attachment with original most recent comment letter). Could you please
provide any feedback on the tree protection fencing for the greenhouse? We will be planning to resubmit these plans for
approval early next week. Two exhibits from the previous submittal, upon which the comments were based, are included
below for reference and comparison.
The changes include the following:
1.) Places Note on the plan stating that the max height of the greenhouse is to be 14'
2.) Eliminates the two red maples that were previously proposed
3.) Adds several newly proposed evergreens (American holly) along the fence line to be at a minimum height of 6' at
planting and to be spaced at a minimum of 8 -10' on center.
4.) Pulled grading tighter so that the grading did not enter the existing treeline. In addition, tree protection fencing
was added along this existing treeline.
