Wow, what a set of pre app notes. If I remembered I was this deep in it I would have said something.

Subject: Pre app follow-up
Jen,
It was nice meeting with you and Brian yesterday to discuss your proposal located on TMP 07600-00-00-046B0. Those in
attendance: VDOT(shelly Plaster), Ron Higgins of Zoning, Margaret Maliszewski of ARB, and myself-Christopher
Perez of Planning.
As promised, below I am providing Liz Russel of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation's contact information
lrussell(cr,monticello.org She can help guide you on the roof colors that are acceptable as this proposal is located in the
Monticello View Shed.
Also let this email serve as a brief summary of some of the discussions from yesterday's pre app.
1)As discussed the proposal would come in as an Initial Site Plan and go through Site Review Committee(SRC)review.
The submittal schedule can be found at:
http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/forms_center/departments/Community_Development/forms/schedules/Site_Plan
Subdivision_&_Tier II_Wireless_Schedule.pdf
A link to the application is provided below. The fee has changed from that which is depicted on the application, it is truly
1,290 now.
http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/forms_center/departments/Community_Development/forms/applications/Initial
Site Plan Application_&_Checklist.pdf
After the initial site plan is approved a Final Site Plan would be required to come in for final review, along with WPO
plan and ARB plans.
2)ARB will need to review/approve this proposal prior to final site plan approval as it is in the Entrance Corridor(EC). If
you have any questions about the ARB guidelines please contact Margaret Maliszewski,
MMaliszewski0),,albemarle.org 434.296.5832 ext. 3276
3) Setbacks for this zoning are guided by Section 4.19(non infill). Please utilize this section of the ordinance when the
New 406.0
building is being moved closer to the street. Also moving the building closer to the street also conforms to the
Neighborhood Model Principles which we discussed/I provided you a handout on.
4)ACSA seemed to have a fairly substantial comment on the W/S capacity in that area and the need to upsize the sewer
line downstream(see hardcopy email given to you at the meeting from ACSA staff).
5) Sidewalks will be expected to be provided along the frontage of the property.
6)VDOT—provided comments that the left and right inner section needs to be met for sight distance.
locate the entrance directly across from"Old Lynchburg Place"or 200' offset.
Turn Lane Warrants(Right and Left)
R/W dedication is requested
Commercial Entrance see appendix F.
7)Additionally it appears this development will be subject to Recreational Regulations per Section 4.16 of County Code.
Please assure you review this section of code provided below and provide for such improvements on the initial site plan.

8)Portions of this site are within the State Dam Break Inundation Zone(DBIZ).Thus the applicant must show the
DBIZ on the initial and final site plan. Attached is County staff internal guidance(Standard Operating Procedures) for
properties located in this zone. Rob VanLier is the contact person at DCR that we'd forward the plans to if the proposal
was determined to affect the DBIZ.From previous discussions with him they are only interested in reviewing proposed
development"that falls within the DBIZ. The main concern is keeping new structures out of the DBIZ, so even a lot that
falls within the DBIZ would not necessarily be of concern so long as the building site is out of the area.He said if there is
ever any question about whether or not DCR should review something, feel free to send him an email at
robert.vanlierL),dcr.va.gov. He's also pretty responsive by phone(434)244-0653.Thus when relocating the structure to
address setbacks and Neighborhood Model Principles,assure proposed structures remain outside of the DBIZ.

Below I offer the following sections of the ordinance-Chapter 18 (site plans), as it related to the property being partially
in the DBIZ if it is determined by Rob VanLier that it's applicable.
