Dear Mr. Myers:
Fax (434)972-4126
The Agent for the Board of Supervisors hereby grants administrative approval for the above referenced
initial site plan.
This approval shall be valid for a period of five (5) years from the date of this letter, provided that the
developer submits a final site plan for all or a portion of the site within one (1) year after the date of this
letter as provided in section 32.4.3.1 of Chapter 18 of the Albemarle County Code, and thereafter
diligently pursues approval of the final site plan.
In accordance with Chapter 18 Section 32.4.2.8 Early or Mass Grading may be permitted after the
following approvals are received:
1. Engineering approval of a VSMP plan meeting the requirements of Chapter 17 of the Code of the
County of Albemarle.
The final site plan will not be considered to have been officially submitted until the following items are
received:
1. A final site plan that satisfies all of the requirements of Section 32.6 of Chapter 18 of the Code.
2. A fee of $1,613.
Please submit 9 copies of the final site plan to the Community Development Department. The assigned
Lead Reviewer will then distribute the plans to all reviewing agencies. Once you receive the first set of
comments on the final site plan, please work with each reviewer individually to satisfy their requirements.
The Department of Community Development shall not accept submittal of the final site plan for signature
until tentative approvals for the attached conditions from the following agencies/reviewers have been
obtained and forwarded to the Lead Reviewer:
Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) — J.T. Newberry, jnewberry(a,albemarle.org

Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority — Victoria Fort, vfort(a),rivanna.org, 434-977-2970, ext. 205
1. RWSA General Notes should be on the plans (see attached).
2. If the development is expected to produce over 40,000 gallons of sewage per day, a flow capacity
certification from RWSA will be required prior to final site plan approval.
3. RWSA has serious concerns about the proposed access driveway off of Moores Creek Lane.
There is significant truck traffic in and out of the RWSA Moores Creek Advanced Water
Resource Recovery Facility (MCAWRRF) at the end of Moores Creek Lane as well as Carter's
Bakery on Franklin Street. RWSA is concerned that the addition of a driveway so close to
Franklin Street and with such a narrow turning radius may result in traffic interruptions and/or
accidents at this location, with impacts extending out to Franklin Street.
4. All RWSA utilities within the scope of the project need to be shown on all sheets. This includes
the two future meter vaults located on Broadway Street and Moores Creek Lane near their
intersections with Franklin Street (see attached plan sheets) and the RWSA sanitary sewer main
which runs parallel to Moores Creek Lane (see attached GIS map). Include utility size, material
(if known), and ownership (RWSA).
5. All RWSA easements within the scope of the project need to be shown on all sheets. This
includes water line easements at the two meter vault locations (see previous comment, Deed
Book 4690, Pages 637-644, 628-636), sewer easement over the RWSA sanitary sewer main
(Deed Book 342, Pages 197-203), and the access easement shown on sheet SP3 (Deed Book 331
Page 549).
6. RWSA's contractor is currently scheduled to install the two meter vaults located on the property
in early 2017. If there is any need to revise the vault locations to accommodate elements of the
proposed site design, that will need to be determined in the next few weeks.
Sheet SP3:
1. Show and label RWSA utilities and easements according to General Comments #4 & #5 above
2. Label RWSA manholes according to attached GIS Map (MCI -MH -03, -04).
Sheet SP4:
1. RWSA will not allow a fence or other obstructions directly over or adjacent to the meter vault at
the corner of Franklin Street and Moores Creek Lane
2. See General Comment #3 above regarding the proposed access driveway off of Moores Creek
Lane
3. RWSA would like to discuss with the applicant and the ACSA the option of installing an
additional water valve at the tee/tap location on Moores Creek Lane. At present, there is no inline
valve to isolate the section of ACSA water line through the MCAWRRF from the proposed
development connection.
4. Show and label RWSA utilities and easements according to General Comments #4 & #5 above
Sheet SP5:
1. Show and label RWSA utilities and easements according to General Comments #4 & #5 above
Sheet SP7:
1. Show and label RWSA utilities and easements according to General Comments #4 & #5 above
Sheet SP8:
1. Show and label RWSA utilities and easements according to General Comments #4 & #5 above
2. The depth of the RWSA sanitary sewer line at the crossing with the proposed new 36" HDPE
storm drain will need to be shown on the storm sewer profile in the final site plan.

The following road names will need to be changed:
1. FARISH ROAD
2. CANAL STREET
3. MILL LANE
Per Part I, Section 4-a of the County's Road Naming and Property Numbering Manual (page 6 of
PDF), "A proposed road name which duplicates an existing or reserved road name in Albemarle
County or the City of Charlottesville shall not be approved. An exception may be made for cul-de-
sacs which have the same name as the road from which they originate (example: "Amberfield
Court" which originates from "Amberfield Drive")."
1. A road named FARISH ST exists in the City of Charlottesville and FARRISH CIR exists
elsewhere in the County.
2. A road name of CANAL has been reserved for use in another development in the County.
Per Part I, Section 4-i of the County's Road Naming and Property Numbering Manual (page 7 of
PDF). "No proposed road name shall be approved which begins with a word that appears as the
first word in five or more official road names."
3. MILL is the first word in over 5 road names in the County.
New road names will need to be submitted. A suggestion that keeps "CANAL" could be CANAL
RUN ST or a similar name that has a word after CANAL. Please keep in mind, "A road name shall
not exceed more than sixteen (16) characters including spaces and the designator's
abbreviation." (Part I, Section 4-c).
We recommend providing three (3) candidate names for each road to our office for
review, in case your first choices are not acceptable.

Review #1
Dear Mr. Newberry:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Dominion Engineering, dated
October 07, 2016, offers the following comments:
Land Use
1. Please show mill and overlay on plans in accordance with WP -2.
2. The mill and overlay will require work to centerline, so flagging operation will be
necessary.
Please note that the final site plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design
Manual Appendices B (1) and F, as well as any other applicable standards, regulations, or
other requirements.
Please provide two copies of the revised plan along with a comment response letter. If further
information is desired, please contact Willis C. Bedsaul at 434-422-9866.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
owner/developer must contact the VDOT Charlottesville Residency Land Use Section at (434)
422-9399 for information pertaining to this process
