(ttomlin(a)-scsengineers.com) From: Paty Saternye, Senior Planner Division: Planning Date: May 18, 2017 Subject: SDP 201700022 New Ivy Solid Waste Transfer Station — Final Site Development Plan 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.] Initial Site Plan Comments (from conditional approval letter dated 12/28/16): 1. A site plan meeting all the requirements of section 32.6 of Chapter 18 of the Code. FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. See comments below. 2. [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. FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. It appears that the note stating the maximum height allowed in the IAA zone has not vet been added ito the siie plan. Either add the note or if the note is already in the site plan specify where it is shown. 3. [32.5.1(c) & 32.5.2(a)] Provide the dimensions for the boundary (bearing and distances) of the parcel. FINAL: Comment addressed. 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. FINAL: Comment addressed. 5. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the name of the county and state under the name of the development. FINAL: Comment addressed. 6. [32.5.2(a)] Revise the "Abutting Parcel Information" chart so that 73-27E, owned by Irene B Morris, is listed correctly. FINAL: Comment addressed. Page 1 of 4 7. [32.5.2(b)] Provide a tally of square footage of uses and the percentage of open space for the whole parcel. FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. At the top of the "Site Data"chart on the cover sheet add "Square Feet" above the column that specifies square feet of the areas. Also, reorder or restructure the chart so that it is obvious that the "Total Impervious Area" is the tally of the "gravel", "asphalt", etc. 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. FIitiAL: Comment addressed. 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. FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. On sheets C3 and L1 remove the portion of the tree line that will no longer exist, where the trees have been removed, so that the remaining areas of trees are more obvious. 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. FINAL: Comment addressed. 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. FINAL: Comment addressed. 12. [32.5.2(i)] Provide the state route number, the right of way lines and width for Dick Wood's Road. FINAL: Comment addressed. 13. [32.5.20)] Provide the sizes for all existing water, sewer and drainage lines and facilities. FINAL: Comment addressed. 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. MAIL: Comment addressee. 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. FINAL: Comment addressed. 16. [32.5.2(k)] Indicate the direction of flow on all storm drainage pipes and watercourses. FINAL: Comment addressed.- 17. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the location of any other existing or proposed utilities and utility easements including telephone, cable, electric and gas. Indivate the deed book and page reference for all exiting utility easements located on the property. FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. Revise the site plan to include the deed books and page numbers for all exiting utility easements located on the property. 18. [32.5.2(n)] Dimension the retaining walls, including their maximum height. FINAL: Comment addressed. 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. FINAL: Comment addressed. 20. [32.5.2(r:)] 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. FINAL: Comment addressed. Page 2 of 4 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. FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. Althouqh the parking calculations on sheet G4 state that there are 16 parking spaces required, and 16 parking spaces provided, only 13 spaces appear to be shown. Either provide an additional 3 parking spaces clarify where the missing three spaces are located on the site, or contact the plan reviewer to discuss the number of quest spaces. 22. (32.5.2(n)] Provide the location and dimensions for any proposed road signage. FINAL: Comment addressed. 23. [32.5.2(n)] Provide the location of the gates in the existing fences. FINAL: Comment addressed. 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. FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. Revise the landscape plan on sheet L1 to specify the height at time of planting for the proposed screening trees. Note that the minimum height at planting for screening trees is 4'. 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. FINAL: Comp dent addressed. 26. [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. FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. Critical slopes do not appear to be shown in this site plan. Show the critical slopes on at least one existing conditions sheet and at least one sheet that shows all proposed improvements to the site. Ensure that the comment above has been addressed. Until the site plan shows the critical slopes it cannot be reviewed for compliance with 4.2. If the site plan does not comply with 4.2 then submit a critical slopes waiver request as specified in the original comment. 27. [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. FINAL: Comment addressed. Page 3 of 4 28. [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. FINAL: Commert addressed. On Drawing No. 4 of 6, there is a "R50"' label that's leader is not pointing towards the centerline of the road. FINAL: Comment addressed. 29. '"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. FINAL: Comment addressed. 30. [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. FINAL: Comment not fully addressed. See the attached comments from the other SRC reviewers. Additional comments for Final Site Plan: 31. [Comment] Revise the project number on the coversheet to be SDP201700022. 32. [Comment] On sheet G2 there is an area to the northeast of the existing buildings labeled as "Proposed Staging and Parking Area". There were no proposed site plan modifications shown in that area on the Initial Site Plan and there are no proposed modifications on other sheets in this Final Site Plan for that area. Either remove this note or clarify why the note is shown. 33. [32.6.2(d)] Clarify whether the detail labeled "Wash Water Forcemain" on sheet C6 is for the proposed leachate lines shown in the plan views. If so, revise the label for the detail and/or the description in the legends so that it is obvious that they are the same items. 34. [32.6.2(d)] Any portion of the existing leachate line that is to be lowered should be represented as a proposed leachate line. 35. [32.6.2(d)] Remove or move the leader and label for "Existing LFG Line" that is pointing to the radius of the access road near where it exits the proposed site near the main entrance of the whole facility. 36. [32.6.2(e)] Label the size of the two radii of two curves in the access road near where it exits the proposed site near the main entrance of the whole facility. 37. [32.6.2(i)] Label where within the existing parking spaces the required handicapped space is provided. Ensure that it is a van accessible handicapped space. 38. [Comment] Ensure that the benchmark icons are visible within the site plan. There are two benchmarks listed in the notes on sheet G2. It appears however that benchmark "M-2" is not shown on the site plan. Either add benchmark "M-2" to the site plan or if it is already in the site plan ensure that it is more obvious.

Virginia 22906 May 17, 2017 Paty Saternye, Senior Planner Albemarle County Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 RE: New Ivy Solid Waste Transfer Station Final Site Plan SDP2017-22 Ms. Saternye: As requested, I've reviewed the Final Site Plan, dated March 24, 2017, for the subject facility, and have the following comments. The facility utilizes an existing private well and onsite sewage disposal system. According to the plan, these utilities will not be physically impacted. Abandonment and installation of sections of water line will not require permitting by this office. It also appears the proposed construction will not have an effect on the number of staff or customers at the facility, so no additional water use or wastewater is expected. Therefore, since this proposal will not constitute a change -of -use for the existing utilities, and will not require modification or expansion of either, no evaluations, assessments, or permitting will be required. Based on the above comments, this office approves the plan. If there are any questions or concerns, I can be contacted at 434-972-4306.
