Reviews Comments:1. Per Sec. 7-200-B of the County's Road Naming and Property Numbering Ordinance (Page 2 of
PDF). "It is intended by this article that all roads within the county which serve or are designed to
serve three (3) or more dwelling units or business structures shall be named." With the existing hotel
and the 3 proposed buildings, there are 4 structures that have or will have addresses, therefore a
new road name will need to be created. Please review the procedures in the Road Naming and
Property Numbering Manual and work with the neighboring property owner to decide upon a new
road name for the road connecting 5th Street to the parking areas (just past the second Holiday Inn
access). Please contact the GIS office with questions related to road naming.
The adjacent Holiday Inn property (07600-00-00-055C0) is owned by:

• Clearly show all existing and proposed utilities and easements on the landscape plan. Increase
planting area to avoid planting and utility conflicts without reducing the amount of landscaping
proposed.
• Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines:
None.
Regarding recommended conditions of initial plan approval:
Prior to Initial Plan Approval:
• Clearly show all existing and proposed utilities and easements on the landscape plan. Increase
planting area to avoid planting and utility conflicts without reducing the amount of landscaping

Prior to Final Site Plan Approval:
A Certificate of Appropriateness is required. The following items shall be addressed in final plan
submittal:
1. Provide material and color samples for review.
2. Revise the raised parapets to be four-sided with roofs to improve building cohesiveness and
provide depth to these features.

transmittance shall not drop below 40% and visible light reflectance shall not exceed 30%.
4. Provide a dumpster screen detail in the plan with the fence height, sufficient to screen the
dumpster, indicated.
5. Show equipment locations and heights on the elevation drawings. All equipment (rooftop and
ground-mounted) must be positioned to not be visible from the EC. This should not result in a parapet
that looks over-scaled. Provide site sections and/or perspective views to clarify visibility of rooftop

Please contact reviewer to schedule a meeting to discuss comments, if that would be helpful.
1. Final Site Plan approval requires an approved VSMP.
2. Final Site Plan approval is contingent on receiving an approved CLORM-F from FEMA.
3. General Notes: Floodplain Information: Proposed 100 -yr floodplain has not been "approved". Revise all
notes to state that the new floodplain limits are "proposed". Show existing and proposed floodplain limits
and BFE (383.0) per current FEMA mapping (plans show floodplain BFE to be 384 — correct this). Typical
for all sheets. Also, add to the floodplain note that there will be no basements or crawl spaces and that all
buildings will be constructed on slabs -on -grade.
4. The general note for SWM management states UG storage will provide detention and treatment. UG storage
is not one of the 15 approved non-proprietary BMPs for treatment. Please confirm and state method for
achieving pollutant removal/reduction requirements.
5. Show access easements for all offsite improvements on Holiday Inn property.
6. Adjust phasing so full -width drive lanes are provided around buildings. A phasing plan and narrative will be
required with the Final Site Plan application.
7. Show proposed tree line along edge of fill.
8. Provide VDOT standard vehicular guardrail on top of retaining walls.
9. Parking spaces (3) near dumpster should be 10 -ft wide for a travel lane of 20 -ft.
10. Revise all curb radii to 3'R, min.
11. Provide dimensions for turn lanes along 5' Street (length, width, taper length, etc.).
12. Label fire lane.

design/inspection/construction notes; safety rail details; drainage; backfill; etc.).
Engineering Review Comments

16. Handicap parking spaces must have a smooth surface. Pervious pavers do not meet this requirement.
17. Provide stop signs from each Holiday Inn connection.
18. Note maximum slope of 3:1 for fill along floodplain.
19. Provide pipe sizes for all storm piping.
20. Resolve sanitary sewer and storm structure conflict at front of site.
21. Sheet 3 — There are some notes that don't appear to apply to anything — lower right of sheet. "Proposed dry
swale", "Proposed Curb Cuts...". Also, 100 -yr floodplain note isn't pointing to floodplain line. Remove
"approved 100 -yr floodplain" line from drawing, this line was not approved.
22. Provide certification (geotechnical investigation) that underground storage tanks will be above the
groundwater elev. or that that they will be anchored to prevent floatation.
23. Show locations for power/gas/telephone/cable utilities pads and routing.
24. Revise site cross-sections to match those provided in the CLOMR-F application. Indicate limits of existing
and proposed floodplain limits, BFE, max slopes, fill depth, etc.

Review #1
Dear Ms. Falkenstein:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Collins Engineering, dated 26
September 20I6, and offers the following comments:
1. The entrance requires an Access Management exception for spacing. The minimum
spacing distance for the proposed configuration is 990', See Appendix F page F-27.
2. Provide intersection sight distance lines and profiles.
3. Provide the VDOT WP -2 detail and note on plans the required area of mill and overlay in
accordance with the WP -2 standard.
4. The proposed relocation of the sanitary sewer line will need to be directionally bored,
please show this, as trenching will not be permitted on 51h Street.
5. Provide an Autoturn exhibit confirming the adequacy of the 12' wide egress lane for the
site's design vehicle.
6. Show route number, street name, ADT, design speed, and right-of-way for all streets
appearing on the plan.
7. Show existing conditions on Route 631, particularly the existing turn lanes, and warrant
analysis showing whether or not additional storage and/or right-of-way is necessary.
8. Please provide all curb radii within the right-of-way. Per previous comment, the 8'
radius, which is no longer labeled, should be increased to ease the turning movement of
the left -turn from Route 631.
9. Note that final site plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design ManuaI
Appendices B(I) 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 Justin Deel at 434-422-9894.
