Owner:Shopping Center Associates c/o Simon DeBartollo Group Developer:Darden Restaurant, Inc. Plan received date: 22 May 2009 Date of comments: 12 June 2009 Reviewer:Phil Custer The site, ESC, and SWM plans for the Red Lobster at Fashion Square Mall, received on 22 May 2009, have been reviewed. Comments for all three plans are provided in this letter. Although this plan has been submitted as a preliminary, a full engineering review of the site was performed due to the completeness of the plan set. A. Final Site Plan [SDP- 2009 - 00043] 1. Not all critical slopes are shaded on the existing conditions sheet. It appears that critical slopes are disturbed with this plan. If these slopes were created with a previously approved site plan, the slope disturbance can be waived administratively by the lead planner. If a previously approved plan cannot be found showing the creation of the disturbed slope, the waiver will have to be given by the Planning Commission. Regardless, please provide a letter requesting this waiver referring to all requirements detailed in Section 18 -4.2.5 of the Zoning Ordinance. The original site plan for Fashion Square Mall is SDP -125. The fmal site plan for the Shoppes at Wachovia is SDP -2006- 00066. 2. A plat must be recorded before this site plan can be approved. The plat should include at least the yhcw following: drainage easement for the pipe through the property, the private sanitary sewer C 1c `' '' easement onto TMP 61 -122A the public water easement, and a site and rri-n11cN-p grading easement for the a parking and travelways on TMP 61 -132 (a boundary line adjustment would also suffice). The c , t-tv° f°', t rvisrN t -t:. _ idth of the drainage easement must be calculated using the equation in the review checklist and eeiY\ L `J @ centered over the pipe. 3. Though the grading indicates otherwise, there does not appear to be a curb for the sidewalk around the building. Please graphically show and label a curb in this area. Otherwise, please request a waiver of the curbing in a letter addressed to the County Zoning Administrator. The only area where a waiver would not be required is adjacent to handicap parking spaces. 4. Please adjust the grading in the loading space so that it is no steeper than 5 %. 5. Please provide stop signs and bars at the cross intersection in the lower left corner of the site plan. The stop signs and bars should be located on the approaches from the left and right. 6. Please install a sidewalk along Rio Road from the entrance to the Shoppes at Wachovia to existing t'e tr AqtrPrvecl .walk on the east side of the mall entrance. A crosswalk and pedestrian signals will also be D >t crrt2r'required across the mall entrance to make the connection safe. Please show all necessary tf c>,' 4t7 rat (\A ,sidewalks, crosswalks, signals, and signage on the next submittal. [18- 32.7.2.8]v 1- 7. Please provide a traffic generation and distribution summary table. kit:: - i- r•eA--~ z,( tut, Cl uc tt nit "1l c8. Please provide VDOT standard inlet shaping (IS -1) on inlet #1. c`tcJh9. Please provide spread computations on the curb line approaching the existing inlet. Albemarle County Community Development Engineering Review Comments Page 2 of 2 B. Stormwater Management Plan [WPO- 2009 - 00024] 1. The impervious area on site is being reduced from 85% to 69% with this plan. Because of this, no stormwater management (quantity or quality) will be required. C. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan [WPO- 2009 - 00024] 1. The Erosion and Sediment control plan needs a phase II portion showing all final grades, structures, and hardscapes. 2. The concept for the ESC plan shown is not acceptable. Since roughly the entire site drains to the existing DI -3C, inlet protection shown here should be sufficient. Since the drainage area to this inlet is likely between 1.5 and 1.75 acres a variance from the program authority will be required. The program authority will approve this variation if the applicant provides a sump in front of the inlet for settling, like the sediment trap inlet protection described on page III -37, in addition to the block and gravel protection. 3. The silt fence in the middle of the site adjacent to the construction entrance should be removed. Instead, a paved diversion should be added across the mouth of the entrance to direct all runoff to the sediment trap inlet protection on the existing DI -3C. 4. Please update the County's General Construction Notes for Erosion and Sediment Control Plans to include note 19 regarding Maintenance. 5. Please provide a safety fence around the entire project. The safety fence may also double as tree protection. 6. Please show a soil stockpile area on the plan. 7. Please show a staging and parking area on the plan. — tics` t' r"ctrl" if 8.

Wright 102 Trout Lily Drive Covington, VA 24426 RE: ARB- 2009 -21: Red Lobster Restaurant Tax Map 61, Parcel 133 Dear Mr. Wright, The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board, at its meeting on May 4, 2009, completed a preliminary review of the above -noted request to construct a Red Lobster Restaurant with associated site improvements. The Board offered the following comments for the benefit of the applicants next submittal. Please note that the following comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments may be added or eliminated based on further review and changes to the plan. 1. Eliminate the 25 parking spaces along the EC and increase the depth of the planting area from 10' to 24'. In the widened planting area, increase the number and variety of plantings and reconfigure them to provide more clustered shrubs and ornamentals, and a less rigid layout among the required shade trees. 2. Revise Sheet C2.1 Site Demolition Plan to include a certified arborist report outlining measures to be taken mitigating the impacts of the grading proposed within the drip line of existing trees designated to remain. Revise the drawing to include tree protection at the drip line of all trees in the northwest and northeast corners of the site that are designated to remain. Where grading prevents locating it at the drip line, show the tree protection at the edge of required grading. 3. Revise the location of the transformer so that it is more fully screened from the EC, or revise the landscape plan to show plantings and /or other screening devices around the transformer. Add the following note to the site plan: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated." 4. Revise the elevation drawings to show a more unified, cohesive, and simplified material palette that is compatible with, but does not imitate, historic materials in the area. 5. Reduce the number of exterior light fixtures proposed on the building; specifically roof lighting and awning lighting are inappropriate. Use exterior light fixtures only for safety and security reasons. 6. Revise the lighting plan to include cut sheets for the proposed lighting within the set of full size site plan /lighting plan drawings. Indicate in the luminaire schedule the color and finish of all light fixtures and light poles for the proposed development. Dark brown, dark bronze, or black are appropriate colors for free - standing pole mounted light fixtures in the EC. 7. Include all proposed light fixtures in the luminaire schedule. 8. Revise the height of the pole lights on the site to be more compatible with the site and building. A total height of 18', including the pole and base height, would be appropriate. 9. Show on the elevation drawings the location of the four LT -29 light fixtures proposed on the north fagade. If the light fixtures are ground mounted, add a note stating this in the luminaire schedule. Remove the light fixtures if they are proposed on the canopy above the main entrance. 10. Revise the photometric plan to carry the light level readings over the property line along the public road to show that light levels do not exceed 0.5 footcandles. Add the following standard lighting note to the photometric 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." 11. Recalculate the photometric plan using an LLF of 1.0. 12. Provide documentation to show that planting in the Centel easement along the north property line fronting the EC is allowed. 13. Revise the landscape plan to show the Red Maples along the EC to be at least 3.5" caliper at planting. 14. Identify the species of the extant trees to remain on the site on the landscape plan. Also, revise the site demolition plan and landscape plan to identify all the extant trees and shrubs on the site. 15. Revise the landscape plan to ensure that all plantings proposed around the building, particularly along the east wall of the rear dumpster screening area, have sufficient space to reach full maturity. 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." 16. Coordinate the plant schedule and landscape plan. 17. Revise the landscape plan to show the location of the granite rock boulders or eliminate the granite block boulders from the plant schedule. 18. Eliminate the signs in the cornices of the north, east, and west elevations. Eliminate the window signs. 19. Revise the red color proposed for the "Red Lobster" channel letter signs to one that is less intense and more appropriate in the EC. It is suggested that the red color for the sign be coordinated with the red color of the siding. 20. Revise the 20 square foot internally illuminated lobster logo sign on the front facade to an externally illuminated panel sign. Reduce the size of the sign so that the length of the lobster from tail to claw is no greater than the width of the central three -light transom window above. 21. Add the following note to the appropriate sign drawings: "The level of illumination produced by the LED lights will not exceed the level of illumination produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon." 22. Clearly indicate location of water, gas and /or other utilities. You may submit your application for continued ARB review at your earliest convenience. Application forms, checklists and schedules are available on -line at www.albemarle.orq /planning. Revised drawings addressing the comments listed above are required. Include updated ARB revision dates on each drawing and an ARB approval signature panel. Please provide a memo including detailed responses indicating how each comment has been addressed. 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. If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please feel free to call me.

It is recommended that the frontage along Rio Road be dedicated to public use for a distance of 10 feet behind the existing curb for the turn lane that was constructed with the entrance to Fashion Square Mall. This area should have been dedicated as part of Rio Road at the time the turn lane was built to accommodate the necessary setbacks, clear zone and pedestrian facilities and to ensure there was adequate space to maintain the road. It is also recommended that the sidewalk be constructed along to frontage of Rio Road. ] 2. It appears there may be some easements missing from the plan that should be in place for drainage structures. 3. This plan does not appear to generate a volume of traffic that would require the submittal of a Chapter 527 Traffic Study. 4. All access to the sight is internal and should not require and permits.

Owner:Shopping Center Associates c/o Simon DeBartollo Group Developer:Darden Restaurant, Inc. Plan received date: 22 May 2009 Date of comments: 12 June 2009 Reviewer:Phil Custer The site, ESC, and SWM plans for the Red Lobster at Fashion Square Mall, received on 22 May 2009, have been reviewed. Comments for all three plans are provided in this letter. Although this plan has been submitted as a preliminary, a full engineering review of the site was performed due to the completeness of the plan set. A. Final Site Plan [SDP- 2009 - 00043] 1. Not all critical slopes are shaded on the existing conditions sheet. It appears that critical slopes are disturbed with this plan. If these slopes were created with a previously approved site plan, the slope disturbance can be waived administratively by the lead planner. If a previously approved plan cannot be found showing the creation of the disturbed slope, the waiver will have to be given by the Planning Commission. Regardless, please provide a letter requesting this waiver referring to all requirements detailed in Section 18 -42.5 of the Zoning Ordinance. The original site plan for Fashion Square Mall is SDP -125. The fmal site plan for the Shoppes at Wachovia is SDP -2006- 00066. 2. A plat must be recorded before this site plan can be approved. The plat should include at least the following: drainage easement for the pipe through the property, the private sanitary sewer easement onto TMP 61 -122A, the public water easement, and a site and grading easement for the parking and travelways on TMP 61 -132 (a boundary line adjustment would also suffice). The width of the drainage easement must be calculated using the equation in the review checklist and centered over the pipe. 3. Though the grading indicates otherwise, there does not appear to be a curb for the sidewalk around the building. Please graphically show and label a curb in this area. Otherwise, please request a waiver of the curbing in a letter addressed to the County Zoning Administrator. The only area where a waiver would not be required is adjacent to handicap parking spaces. 4. Please adjust the grading in the loading space so that it is no steeper than 5 %. 5. Please provide stop signs and bars at the cross intersection in the lower left corner of the site plan. The stop signs and bars should be located on the approaches from the left and right. 6. Please install a sidewalk along Rio Road from the entrance to the Shoppes at Wachovia to existing walk on the east side of the mall entrance. A crosswalk and pedestrian signals will also be required across the mall entrance to make the connection safe. Please show all necessary sidewalks, crosswalks, signals, and signage on the next submittal. [18- 32.7.2.8] 7. Please provide a traffic generation and distribution summary table. 8. Please provide VDOT standard inlet shaping (IS -1) on inlet #1. 9. Please provide spread computations on the curb line approaching the existing inlet. Albemart ounty Community Development Engineering Review Comments Page 2 of 2 B. Stormwater Management Plan [WPO- 2009 - 00024] 1. The impervious area on site is being reduced from 85% to 69% with this plan. Because of this, no stormwater management (quantity or quality) will be required. C. Erosion and Sediment Control Plan [WPO- 2009 - 00024] 1. The Erosion and Sediment control plan needs a phase II portion showing all final grades, structures, and hardscapes. 2. The concept for the ESC plan shown is not acceptable. Since roughly the entire site drains to the existing DI -3C, inlet protection shown here should be sufficient. Since the drainage area to this inlet is likely between 1.5 and 1.75 acres a variance from the program authority will be required. The program authority will approve this variation if the applicant provides a sump in front of the inlet for settling, like the sediment trap inlet protection described on page III -37, in addition to the block and gravel protection. 3. The silt fence in the middle of the site adjacent to the construction entrance should be removed. Instead, a paved diversion should be added across the mouth of the entrance to direct all runoff to the sediment trap inlet protection on the existing DI -3C. 4. Please update the County's General Construction Notes for Erosion and Sediment Control Plans to include note 19 regarding Maintenance. 5. Please provide a safety fence around the entire project. The safety fence may also double as tree protection. 6. Please show a soil stockpile area on the plan. 7. Please show a staging and parking area on the plan. 8. The ESC portion of the WPO bond will be calculated at the time of plan approval. hK Lf RGl:it ° COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 -4596 Phone (434) 296 -5832 Fax (434) 972 -4126 Project:Red Lobster @ Fashion Square SDP- 2009 - 00043, WPO- 2009 - 00024] Plan preparer:Hussey, Gay, Bell, & DeYoung Inc.

[Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.] 1. 32.5.6.p] COMMENT: Because trees and shrubs are to remain on the site, a Conservation Checklist is required to be completed and signed and provided on the landscape plan. I see that it has been added to the plans and is signed, but it must be completed as well. 2. 4.1.2.6] COMMENT: Thank you for providing mall parking figures. Please be aware that even though there is a note that the figures were provided by the landlord, we will hold it to whomever certifies the plans that the information is correct. We encourage you to confirm that the existing and proposed mall parking is correct. 3. 4.1.2.6] COMMENT: Please clarify the required parking note provided on Sheet C1.2 in the Zoning/parking box. It references the required parking is to be determined ". I assume this is because the building plans have not been finalized, however we require this information before approval of the plan. If necessary, you can propose a number of parking spaces based on the maximum building square footage and then amend the final numbers with the final site plan. 4. 4.2] COMMENT: The critical slopes waiver request is being administratively approved; documentation of this approval will be provided under a separate cover.
