Reviews Comments:The applicant should contact this office with a list of three (3) road names for the entrance. The
plans show two existing structures with a third structure to be built. This will create the need for a
private road name for the site and all addresses will be provided off of the new private road name.

Review #2
Dear Mr. Anderson:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Shimp Engineering, last revised
2 September 2016, and offers the following comments:
1. The intersection sight distances are too short; the required length for a 30 mph design
speed is 335'. The sight Iine should be measure along the centerline of the roadway,
which may be helpful in this case. The left sight line profile is less than 6 inches off the
proposed grade; please note that as -built sight distance will be a condition of permit
completion.
2. The existing entrance radius of 25 feet is inadequate. The minimum entrance radius for a
commercial entrance without a separate truck access is 42 feet; it appears as though
proposed entrance will be the only access for delivery vehicles.
3. The entrance width of 20 feet is inadequate. The minimum commercial entrance width on
a local street is 24 feet.
4. Note that the Department is in the process of posting a 30 mph speed limit on Hunters
Way. An entrance permit, based on a 30 mph design speed, cannot be issued until this
process is complete.
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.

Regarding: SDP 2016-00012—Nationwide Homes— Major Amendment
Dear Chris,
Thank you for your review of the major site plan amendment for Nationwide Homes. We have
reviewed and revised the plan per the most recent comments dated August 29, 2016. See below for detailed
responses to each of your comments.
Planning:
1. s previously discussed, there is no documentation of the locations of the existing connections to the
septic system and well. The VDH permit (provided via email 8/30/16) shows the conceptual
septic/drainfield layout and the location of the well, but no information about connection locations.
The previous site plan also does not provide any information on septic or well connections. Each
existing structure only has one connection to each system. All notes have been revised as
requested.
0.) As previously discussed, the critical slopes shown on the site plan are now calculated from field run
topography instead of using GIS data. This more accurate depiction of critical slopes shows that no
slopes of 25% or greater exist in the area where the 12SF of disturbance was previously shown. The
slopes were shown accurately on the critical slope waiver request; we understand that the waiver will
o to the BOS on 10/12 (on the consent agenda) with a recommendation of approval.
„ 3-. 1g-lie VDH approval package was provided via email dated 8/30/16.
. The Tier 3 groundwater assessment is under way and will be provided once complete.
A WPO application is under review (WPO201600052).
cknowledged.
ote has been provided on the auto repair shop indicating the number of bays proposed.
Sheet C2 has been revised to more clearly show that not all trees are proposed to be removed. The
portion of existing treeline that will remain is noted and the area to remain is reflected on the layout,
grading and landscape sheets.
...9( A tree protection fencing detail is now shown on sheet C7.
v1'0. Comments from other SRC reviewers are addressed below.
Engineering (Max Greene):
1. VSMP plans were submitted 8/19/16 (WPO201600052).
E911 (Andrew Slack):
1. A revised road name has been added to the plans; E911 has been notified about this change.
ARB (Paty Saternye):
1. The applicant's architect is coordinating the ARB application and will address this comment.
2. The applicant's architect is coordinating the ARB application and will address this comment.
3. The items required by the Conservation Plan Checklist have been added to the plan. No existing
landscape within 40' of building or grading activity is being used to satisfy landscaping requirements.
4. No existing landscape within 40'of building or grading activity is being used to satisfy EC
requirements.
5. No existing landscape within 40' of building or grading activity is being used to satisfy landscaping
requirements. The owner would like to preserve as many trees along Hunter's Way as possible;
therefore, tree protection is shown in this area.
6. Tree protection fencing is shown on the landscape and grading sheets; erosion and sediment control
sheets are not part of the Site Plan plan set but tree protection was also shown on that submittal.
7. The exact locations of private water and sewer lines are rarely documented; we researched both the
previous VDH permit and the previous site plan and neither provided locations of these private utility
connections. Site surveys don't cover private laterals. All utility and easement information is reflected
on the plan set as provided from the surveyor. We contacted the surveyor to inquire specifically
about the hydrant and overhead utility lines and were told all easement information they could find is
shown on their survey.
8. No evidence of an overhead utility easement could be found, but the proposed large shade tree has
been moved away from the utility line as space allowed. Proposed landscaping is not within any
easements.
9. The calculations for EC versus non-EC street tree requirements have been separated. Previously, all
street trees were proposed to be 3.5"caliper at 35' on center, but the plan has now been revised and
the calculations separated accordingly.
10. New trees to meet the street tree requirement are now proposed along the entire length of Hunter's
Way. The new trees will be planted amongst the existing trees being retained.
11. Existing trees are no longer being used to meet the street tree requirement; this note has been
removed.
12. The trees in the parking islands have been moved.
13. A legend of existing landscaping has been provided as well as information regarding the size of the
plants. The full species name cannot be provided as no information is available on exactly what
species were installed; the previously approved site plan does not show these plants. Common
names were provided by the surveyor as indicated in the legend. Guideline#36 appears to reference
landscaping along the fronts of long buildings, while these buildings are both residential in style. All
existing shrubs are at least 24" in height.
14. Existing plantings along the interior walkways have been identified as indicated above. These

RE: SDP201600012 Nationwide Homes — Major Site Plan Amendment
Ms. Ray:
Your Major Amendment application has been reviewed. In order for the amended site plan to be approved
the following revisions are required:
L
132.5.2(b) & 16-1001 Well and Septic. As you know more than two connections to the well and
each of the septic systems require approval of a central water supply and/or central sewerage
system. The applicant has indicated they do not wish to pursue central systems. Thus verification
is required to assure compliance.
On the plans depict and label the number of physical connections to the septic system and to the
well, as multiple connections from a single building are each counted towards the maximum of
two (2) before a central system is required to be authorized. For connections being removed, the
site plan shall clearly depict and label that the connections being removed.
Revise the notes on sheet C-1, C-3, & C-4 to state: "The furthest buildingfrom Hunters Way
(address 2302) shall be vacant. This building will be disconnected.from well and septic prior to
issuance of a CO for the Auto Repair Shop. "
To assure that the site is in compliance with the above requirement provide documentation that
the proposed "vacant building" furthest from Hunters Way (address 2302) has been successfully
disconnected from both well and the septic prior to CO for the new Auto Repair Shop.
Also, assure the water & sanitary service note and the proposed use note on sheet C 1 to match up
with the above discussion.
2. [18-4.2] Critical Slopes. The proposal disturbs areas containing critical slopes, which requires
approval of a critical slopes waiver. The waiver request has been received and is being processed.
Approval of the waiver by the Board of Supervisors is required prior to site plan approval.
Notably the critical slope waiver request only covers one of the two areas depicted on sheet C4
as disturbed critical slopes? The request does not cover the 12 SF being impacted by new parking
and grading fronting Hunters Way. Please revise the critical slope waiver request to include the
12 SF of additional area of disturbance.
3. [Comment] Virginia Department of Health (VDH) approval is required prior to site plan
approval. The comment response letter states that VDH approval package was provided to staff;
however, it was not in the resubmittal packet. Provide this documentation.
4. [17-1000, 17-10031 Groundwater Assessment. Provide a Tier 3 groundwater assessment and
associated fee. The administrator may require that a Tier 4 assessment be submitted instead of a
Tier 3 assessment if the special areas of concern identified in subsection (A) have not been
adequately addressed by the additional groundwater assessment data.
5. [Chapter 171 Water Protection. A WPO application is required to be submitted and approved
prior to site plan approval.
6. [32.6.2(J&K)] ARB approval of the site plan is required.
7. [32.5.2(b)] Parking. Number the bays within the auto repair shop/newbuilding.
8. [Comment] The clouding on sheet C2 for Existing Woods to be Removed conflicts with the
clouding on sheet C4 for the trees being preserved along Hunters Way. Revise clouding on sheet
C2 to clearly distirnguish between the two areas of trees (those being removed and those
remaining).
9. [32.6.2(j) & 32.7.9.4(b)] Provide a cutsheet for the type of tree protective fencing being used.
10. [Comment] This amendment cannot be approved until all comments from the site review
committee (SRC) have been addressed. If you have any questions about the comments please feel
free to contact me. Attached I have provided comments from the various SRC reviewers.
Staff has provided references to provisions of Chapter 18 of the Code of the County of Albemarle. The
Code is kept up to date by the County Attorney's office. The Code may found on the County Attorney's
website which may be found under "Departments and Services" at Albemarle.org.
In accord with the provisions of Section 32.4.3.5 of Chapter 18 of the Code if the developer fails to
submit a revised final site plan to address all of the requirements within six (6) months after the date of
this letter the application shall be deemed to have been voluntarily withdrawn by the developer. If you
have any questions about the comments please feel free to contact me.

Memorandum
To: Christopher Perez, Current Development planning and zoning review
From: Max Greene, Current Development engineering review
Date: 26 August 2016
Subject: Nationwide Homes (SDP201600012) critical slope waiver request
The critical slope waiver request has been reviewed. The engineering analysis of the request follows:
Description of critical slope area and proposed disturbance:
This is a slope created by the construction of Hunters Way, State Route 1146 off of State Route 250 West
of Charlottesville, Virginia. Shown on Site Plan # SDP198600029. The proposed disturbance is for the
reshaping of the slope to allow the construction of an Auto Repair Shop.
Areas
Acres
Total site
1.46 acres approximately
Critical slopes
0.3322.8%
of site
Critical slopes disturbed
0.08
124.1 % of critical slopes
Exemptions to critical slopes waivers for driveways, roads and utilities without reasonable
alternative locations:
This disturbance is not exempt.
Compliance with Zoning Ordinance 18-4.2:
"movement of soil and rock"
Proper slope construction, control of drainage, and vegetative stabilization will prevent any movement
of soil.
"excessive stormwater runoff'
No additional Stormwater runoff in this area, as the slopes will be reshaped and the additional
impervious are will be captured and treated per State DEQ requirements.
"siltation"
Inspection and bonding by the County will ensure siltation control during construction. Proper
stabilization and maintenance will ensure long term stability.
"loss of aesthetic resource"
This area is visible from the roads and buildings in the development. The slopes were created with the
roads and will be gently reshaped in a similar manner as with the road construction.
"septic effluent"
This commercial development is serviced by private sewer.
Based on the review above, there are no engineering concerns which prohibit the disturbance of the critical
slopes as shown.

Page 1 of 3
6. Tree protection fencing should be shown on the landscaping, grading and erosion and sediment control sheets. REV
1: Comment addressed. Tree protection fencing has been shown on the landscape and grading sheets.
7. Show on the site plan the private water and sewer lines, the easement for the public waterline that leads to the fire
hydrant along Route 250 and the easement for the overhead utility lines. REV 1: Comment addressed. All
information available has been provided on site plan.
8. Once the above mentioned easements are shown on the site plan ensure that the proposed landscaping is not within
any utility easements. Move the proposed large shade tree that is furthest southeast on Route 250 so that it is not
within the overhead utility easement. REV 1: Comment addressed. Proposed landscaping has been moved to
avoid known utility conflicts.
9. Separate the calculations for street trees into two different calculations. One calculation for the EC (Route 250) with a
minimum of 3 1/2" caliper trees 35' on center and the other calculation for Hunters Way with a minimum of 2 1/2"
caliper trees 40' on center. REV 1: Comment addressed. Calculations have been revised.
10. Include in the site plan street trees along Hunters Way that meet the street tree requirement for its whole length of

Review #2
Dear Mr. Perez:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Shimp Engineering, last revised
30 June 2016, and offers the following comments:
I. There is a note on the Existing Conditions sheet stating that the existing entrance is to be
re -aligned. It is unclear what this re -alignment will be.
2. Per previous comment, please verify that the entrance meets current Access Management
Regulations (Appendix F); spacing, geometry for design vehicle, sight distance, etc.
Please show dimensioned intersection sight distance lines and provide sight distance
profiles.
3. It is unclear if adequate intersection sight distance is available due to vegetation
overgrowth and/or grade. It appears that the entrance has not been maintained for some
time. Note that an entrance permit requires that the entrance be maintained by the
property owner.
4. Based on the plans it appears that the entire parking Iot, including entrance, will be
resurfaced. Per previous comment, the entrance pavement should match the existing
pavement of Route 1146.
5. Please include design speed of Hunters Way on plans.
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.

I have reviewed the above referenced project which is located outside of the ACSA's Jurisdictional Area. There is an
existing fire hydrant assembly and 16" DIP water main across the frontage of the property (Route 250 frontage). The
applicant shall correctly show the existing water main and fire hydrant service line on the plan. The water main shall be

RE: SDP201600012 Nationwide Homes — Major Amendment
Dear Sir:
Your Major Amendment application has been reviewed. In order for the amended site plan to be
approved the following revisions are required:
1. [32.5.2(a)] Provide boundary dimensions for all boundary lines.
2. [32.5.2(a)] The required minimum setback for both buildings and parking is 10' and there is no
maximum setback (the parcel is located on a principal arterial highway). Add this information to the
Cover Sheet and show the setback line on the site plan sheet.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the zoning district and present use of abutting parcels.
4. [32.5.2(b) & 5.1.31] Be aware of the requirements of 5.1.31 as they relate to the storage of materials
and equipment, and where auto repair services may be performed. Additionally, no vehicle awaiting
repair shall be located on any portion of the site so as to be visible from any public street or any
residential property, and shall be limited to locations designated on the approved site plan; please
designate these locations on the site plan.
5. [32.5.2(b) & 24.2.2.13] Provide water usage information to determine if a Special Use Permit is
required. In HC, the following use requires a SP: Uses permitted by right, not served by public water,
involving water consumption exceeding four hundred (400) gallons per site acre per day.
6. [32.5.2(b) & 16-100] Provide additional information on the existing/proposed water and septic
systems, including how many establishments will be connected to each. Each physical connection to
a system (water or septic) is counted, including multiple connections serving one structure; any more
than two connections requires approval of a central water supply and/or central sewerage system. A
Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan review may also be required if central system(s) are
necessary.
7. [32.5.2(b)] The square footage provided for the two existing structures is not consistent with
previously approved site plans or real estate records. According to previous site plans, the total
square footage is 4,480sf, while real estate records indicate a total of 4,304 sf. Provide an accurate
accounting of all on-site square footage.
8. [32.5.2(b)] Calculate the required parking based on the accurate square footage requested in the
comment above, and make sure adequate parking is provided.
9. [32.5.2(b)] Provide the number of stories/maximum height of the proposed building.
10. [32.5.2(d)] Clearly show and label all critical slopes on the site plan sheet. Change any reference to
`managed steep slopes' to `critical slopes' as this parcel is located in the rural area.
11. [32.5.2(d) & 4.2] The plan indicates that the critical slopes being disturbed were created by the
construction of Hunter's Way and that the disturbance is therefore exempt. This is not one of the
possible exemptions (see 4.2.6). A portion of the disturbance may have been eligible for a waiver
approved by the agent (see 4.2.5(b)) if all impacted slopes were created during the development of
the property pursuant to a site plan approved by the county. However, administrative waivers are no
longer permitted. SDP198600029 shows the creation of some critical slopes but not all that are
present on site. Please submit a special exception application (and the associated fee) including
information regarding which slopes were created by which previously approved plans (include
application numbers) and all other information required by 4.2. The Special Exception must be
approved by the Board of Supervisors.
12. [32.5.2(e)] Show all existing landscape on the existing conditions sheet; GIS shows some that isn't
included in the plans. Make sure all landscaping to be removed is noted as such.
13. [32.5.2(j,k,I)] Verify that the location(s) and dimensions of all existing or proposed utilities and utility
easements including water, sewer, drainage, telephone, cable, electric and gas are shown on the
plan. Label any existing easements with the Deed Book and Page Number.
14. [32.5.2(j,k,I) & 16-100] Provide clarification on how many connections there are to the new proposed
well; a central water supply may need to be approved by the Board of Supervisors. If the
owner/developer wishes to keep the number of connections below that which will require approval of
a central supply, the physical connection(s) must be removed and documentation must be provided to
the County. Additionally, the Site Plan should clearly show that the connection is being removed and
that the establishment previously served by this connection cannot be occupied.
15. [32.5.2(j,k,I) & 16-100] Provide clarification on how many connections there are to the private septic
system; a central sewerage system may need to be approved by the Board of Supervisors. If the
owner/developer wishes to keep the number of connections below that which will require approval of
a central system, the physical connection(s) must be removed and documentation must be provided
to the County. Additionally, the Site Plan should clearly show that the connection is being removed
and that the establishment previously served by this connection cannot be occupied.
16. [32.5.2(1)] Show the distance to the centerline of the nearest existing street intersection from the
proposed ingress and egress.
17. [32.5.2(n)] Sign locations are not approved with the Site Plan application; a sign permit application is
required.
18. [32.5.2(n)] Show the proposed light fixture locations on the layout plan. Lighting locations should be
consistent throughout the plan set.
19. [32.6.2(j) & 32.7.9.4] The plant symbols are missing in the landscape schedule; provide the symbols.
20. [32.6.2(j) & 32.7.9.4(b)] Existing trees may be preserved in lieu of planting new plant materials in
order to satisfy the landscaping and screening requirements of section 32.7.9 or to meet conditions of
approval, subject to the agent's approval. It seems that some of the Landscape Plan requirements
may be proposed to be met with existing vegetation. If this is the case, the plan should show the
trees to be preserved, the limits of clearing, the location and type of protective fencing, grade
changes requiring tree wells or walls, and trenching or tunneling proposed beyond the limits of
clearing. In addition, the applicant shall sign a conservation checklist approved by the agent to insure
that the specified trees will be protected during construction. Except as otherwise expressly approved
by the agent in a particular case, such checklist shall conform to specifications contained in the
Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook, pp III -284 through III -297, and as hereafter
amended. This checklist must be signed, dated and included on the plans.
21. [32.6.2(j) & 32.7.9.5] It appears that a portion of the street tree requirement is proposed to be met
through the preservation of existing trees; provide tree protection fencing where the proposed grading
is close to existing trees and add a conservation plan checklist as indicated in the comment above.
Additionally, the area preserved on the subject parcel is very narrow (about 10') which may result in
the death of the existing trees; add a note stating that if the existing trees die that street trees will be
provided 50' O.C., or increase the preserved strip to a minimum of 20' on the subject parcel.
22. [32.6.2(j) & 32.7.9.5 & 5.1.31] Provide additional parking screening shrubs along the northern side of
the entrance and at the western end of the parking lot to mitigate the visibility of the parking area from
both adjacent streets.
23. [32.6.2(j) & 32.7.9.7] Provide the proposed height of the dumpster enclosure.
24. [32.6.2(j) & 32.7.9.7 & 5.1.31] Once the location(s) for vehicles awaiting repair are designated, the
shrubs used to screen these areas must be 18" in height when planted.
25. [32.6.2(k) & 4.17] The lighting plan submitted contains no information. The lighting plan must
provide the following:
• A photometric plan showing the locations of proposed fixtures with photometric values
extending to the property lines to verify the spillover requirement is met (or show less than
0.5 fc before the property line).
• A luminaire schedule listing the number of each fixture proposed, the manufacturer's catalog
number, tilt, maintenance factor (LLF), and lumen level.
• Manufacturer's cut -sheets indicating lumen level for each proposed fixture shall be included
in the plan set; fixtures 3000 lumen or higher (using a maintenance factor of 1.0) must meet
the County's definition of full cutoff.
• The model numbers shown on the cut -sheets must match those listed in the luminaire
schedule.
• As noted above, the locations of proposed fixtures should be consistent on the layout and
lighting plans.
26. [32.6.2(j & k)] ARB approval of the site plan is required.
27. [17-1000] Provide either a Tier 3 or Tier 4 groundwater assessment, and the associated fee. The
type of assessment required is determined by water use and potential central water supply.
28. [Comment] VDH approval is required.
29. [Comment] A WPO application is required to be submitted and approved prior to Site Plan approval.
30. [Comment] If any off-site easements are required, they must be approved and recorded prior to Site
Plan approval.
31. [Comment] This amendment cannot be approved until all comments from the Site Review
Committee (SRC) have been addressed. Any comments not available at the time of the SRC
meeting will be forwarded once received.
Staff has provided references to provisions of Chapter 18 of the Code of the County of Albemarle. The
Code is kept up to date by the County Attorney's office. The Code may found on the County Attorney's
website which may be found under "Departments and Services" at Albemarle.org.
In accord with the provisions of Section 32.4.3.5 of Chapter 18 of the Code if the developer fails to submit
a revised final site plan to address all of the requirements within six (6) months after the date of this letter
the application shall be deemed to have been voluntarily withdrawn by the developer.
If you have any questions about the comments please feel free to contact me.

Re: SDP -2016-00012 Nationwide Homes Major Site Plan Amendment
Dear Ellie,
We have reviewed the Nationwide Homes major site plan amendment, dated February 22, 2016, as
submitted by Shimp Engineering, P.C., and we offer the following comments:
1. Trip generation for the site needs to be provided and adequacy of the Hunters Way
(Route 1] 46) and Richmond Road (Route 250) intersection needs to be verified.
2. Based on the trip generation, the geometry of the proposed entrance on Hunters Way (Route
1146) will need to meet the design vehicle standards. "Entrance Design Details" can be found in
Appendix F of the Road Design Manual.
3. A plan and profile should be provided to ensure there is adequate sight distance at the
proposed entrance.
4. The proposed entrance pavement should match the existing pavement on Hunters Way
(Route 1146).
5. A Land Use Permit will be required prior to the beginning of any work within the Route 1146,
Hunters Way right-of-way.
6. Additional comments may be made with subsequent submittals.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
