Date: December 19, 2016
Updated December 28, 2016
Subject: SDP 201600066 New Ivy Solid Waste Transfer Station — Initial Site Plan
Fax 434-972-4126
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plan referenced above once the
following comments have been satisfactorily addressed (The following comments are those that have been
identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.):
[Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless
otherwise specified.]
1. A site plan meeting all the requirements of section 32.6 of Chapter 18 of the Code.
[32.5.2(b)] Provide notes for the maximum height allowed in the RA zone and the proposed height of the
building. The maximum height of a building in the RA zone is 35'. The side of the proposed transfer station
facing the public road appears to have a height of just under 50'. However, zoning inspections has specified
(12/15/2016) that the north side of the building, where the trucks will drop off waste, is considered the "front"
of the building_ The north elevation appears to be just under 35'. Dimension the height of the elevations on
Drawing NO. 6 of 6 and ensure that the elevation considered be the front of the building is no more than 35'
height. Any building height above 35' will not meet the RA zone requirements and would be considered a
variance from the Zoning Ordinance.
3. [32.5.1(c) & 32.5.2(a)] Provide the dimensions for the boundary (bearing and distances) of the parcel.
4. [32.5.1(c)] Provide a note that specifies all of the yard requirements for RA zones or revise the labels on
Drawing No. 2 of 6 to specify that the distances are for the setbacks.
5. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the name of the county and state under the name of the development.
6. [32.5.2(a)] Revise the "Abutting Parcel Information" chart so that 73-27E, owned by Irene B Morris, is listed
correctly.
7. [32.5.2(b)] Provide a tally of square footage of uses and the percentage of open space for the whole parcel.
8. [32.5.2(e)] Provide labels identifying whether the existing wooded areas are composed of evergreen,
deciduous or a mix of types of trees.
9. [32.5.2(e)] The line which represents existing wooded areas does not appear to be consistent and therefore
it is not possible to tell what areas are wooded and what areas are not on the western side of the site. The
direction of the line type creates confusion along what appears to be an access road just to the west of the
proposed building site.
10. [32.5.2(f)] Provide the locations and names of water courses within the parcel in the key plan on Drawing
No. 2 of 6.
Pagel of 3
11. [32.5.2(h)] Provide the boundaries of the flood hazard overlay district areas within the parcel. This could be
provided in the key plan on Drawing No. 2 of 6.
12. [32.5.2(i)] Provide the state route number, the right of way lines and width for Dick Wood's Road.
13. [32.5.20)] Provide the sizes for all existing water, sewer and drainage lines and facilities.
14. [32.5.20) &32.5.2(k)] The proposed sewer line appears to be connecting to an existing leachate line.
Revise the sewer line to be a leachate line or show it connecting to an existing sewer line. If the line is
changed to a leachate line add a proposed leachate linetype to the legend.
15. [32.5.20)] There is what appears to be an existing underground electric and existing water line very close to
one another. For part of their length the letters in the lines are not legible. Ensure that the linetypes are
able to be read.
16. [32.5.2(k)] Indicate the direction of flow on all storm drainage pipes and watercourses.
17. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the location of any other existing or proposed utilities and utility easements including
telephone, cable, electric and gas. Indicate the deed book and page reference for all exiting utility
easements located on the property.
18. [32.5.2(n)] Dimension the retaining walls, including their maximum height.
19. [32.5.2(n)] The proposed fence appears to connect to the existing fence in the southeastern corner of the
site. However, a portion of the existing fence is located where a proposed stormwater pond is shown.
Provide the location of where the proposed fence will connect to the existing fence system. Show where
existing fence will be demolished on the existing conditions sheet.
20. [32.5.2(n)] Provide the location and dimensions for any proposed lighting fixtures including wall mounted
light fixtures_ If there will be any external lighting fixtures a photometric plan will be required with the Final
Site Plan. In addition to meeting all lighting requirements a standard lighting note will be required.
21. [32.5.2(n)] There appears to be a significant area of parking that exists on the site that is not shown on the
existing conditions or the proposed site layout sheets. Also, there is no parking information or calculation
provided on this initial site plan. Provide information on what parking exists, what parking will be removed or
remain and the impact this will have on the parking for the whole parcel and not just this immediate
proposed site. This information and calculations must include the addition of the new building and any
employees who may work there.
22. [32.5.2(n)] Provide the location and dimensions for any proposed road signage.
23. [32.5.2(n)] Provide the location of the gates in the existing fences.
24. [32.5.2(p)] Provide a landscape plan that meets all requirements of section 32.7.9 with the Final Site Plan.
Although this is a public use for the purposes of landscaping requirements it will be considered commercial
or industrial. Therefore the site plan must meet the landscaping requirements. This includes, but is not
limited to, the tree canopy requirements and calculations.
25. [32.5.2(p) 32.7.9.7(a)(3)] It appears that the majority of the existing woods shown on the west side of the
site plan area are being removed. Because the site plan does not include the existing conditions further
towards the western property line, and because some of the wooded area lines do not seem to be oriented
properly, it is uncertain if the proposed building and use will be screened on the western side, towards the
RA zoned and residential use adjoining lots. Provide additional information on the wooded areas to the
west of the proposed site, showing that they will fully screen the building, containers and use from the
adjoining properties or provide screening toward the west side of the site.
Page 2 of 3
25. [4.2] It appears that critical slopes will be impacted by the improvements required for the transfer station.
Accessways, public utility lines, and stormwater management facilities can be exempt from this requirement
provided that the applicant demonstrates that no reasonable alternative location or alignment exists
(4.2.6(c)). Demonstrate that there are no reasonable alternative locations for items and improvements
impacting the critical slopes areas. It appears that one of the stormwater ponds and a forebay may be able
to be moved farther west to reduce the impact to the critical slopes. The access way on the north side of
the project appears to be able to be moved further north to avoid the critical slope area to its south. Also,
items not specified as possible exceptions (4.2.6(c)) must either be designed to not impact critical slopes or
a critical slopes waiver request will be required. The proposed demolition and relocation of the fence in the
south east corner of the proposed project, and the proposed screening trees, are not exempt. Either ensure
that any critical slopes disturbance caused by the section of the fence removed and replaced, or the area for
the proposed landscaping being cleared and trees planted, is completely within the area of disturbance to
the critical slopes caused by the exempt items, such as the stormwater pond, or submit a critical slopes
waiver request for this disturbance of the critical slopes.
26. [Comment] The existing line work is too light and hard to read. All line work and text must be legible even
after the plan is copied or scanned.
27. [Comment] Revise the drawing to have labels and leaders pointing towards the objects they are
describing.
• On Drawing No. 4 of 6, near the left hand side of the sheet near one of the stormwater ponds, there
is a label that says "Proposed Culvert" and a leader, but they are not pointing towards any object.
• On Drawing No. 4 of 6, there is a "R50- label that's leader is not pointing towards the centerline of
the road.
28. [Comment] On a previous exhibit for the Ivy Material Utilization Center there was a note that said there
was possibly a cemetery located in the general vicinity of the proposed transfer station or its improvements.
It has been stated that there has been a study of the site to determine whether a graveyard existed. Specify
the outcome of that study. If a cemetery exists, show its location on the existing conditions and site plan
sheets of the plan.
29. [Comment] See the attached comments from the other SRC reviewers. Please note that the ACSA
comments were not attached prior to the SRC meeting on 12/22/2016 but have been attached to this
update.
Please contact Paty t nye in the Planning Division by using psaternye(a.albemarle.orq or 434-296-5832 ext.

IEngineering comments for above referenced plan are completed. They should be in City View and are also
listed below-
-Note there is no title (Initial Site Plan) and no professional seal on these plans-
-The legend and associated line types on Sheet 3 are hard to read-
-The topography should be field verified since it is sourced from a year of 1997 and 1998_
-Note= Will need more detailed information for the retaining walls at time of final site plan-
-Travel way on the north end seems steep (15%)- This will need to be further evaluated at time of final site
plan-
-Note: WPO will have to be submitted and approved before a final site plan can be approved_

Paty,
I have reviewed the submittal. This parcel is listed as limited service in the ACSA's Jurisdictional Area. There is no
infrastructure in this area so the existing building are most likely served through well and septic. The applicant shall add
notes to the cover page describing the proposed water/sewer service as well and septic.
That is the only comment that I have.
Since this is limited service will they need to go through the water/sewer waiver process to utilize private utilities? Let
me know.

Paty,
I got your voicemail as well. I was on the phone with contractors so I am sorry I missed your call. I have not completed
comments yet, but will try to get through the SRC information today. I will not be at the meeting because the other
engineers are off today. I will try to have you something by the end of the day. Thank you.

Alex,
I just wanted to touch base with you on SDP2016-66 Ivy Solid Waste Transfer Station SRC review.
I don't think I have received your comments on this SRC submission yet.
Since today is the SRC meeting I thought I would reach out to you and see if you are still in process or if I have
misplaced comments you already sent me.

Ms. Saternye,
As requested by your department, I have reviewed the initial site plan for the New Ivy Solid Waste Transfer Station. I
have no concerns regarding water and sewer as it appears connections will be made to public utilities.
Recommendation: Approval
Please let me know if you have any questions.
