Review #I
Dear Ms. Yaniglos:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Timmons Group, dated 21
November 2016, and offers the following comments:
1. Include ADT, design/posted speeds, and show/label ROW for Routes 250 and 20 on
plans.
2. Provide entrance spacing, geometry, and intersection sight distance for both proposed
entrances. Both entrances, as proposed, do not meet Access Management spacing
standards. If they are to remain as proposed, both would require Access Management
exceptions.
3. Entrances require a landing of at least 50 feet with a slope no greater than 2%.
4. The 2 -way left turn lane on Route 20 does not extend beyond the proposed entrance
shown on the plans. There appears to be room to extend the turn lane but striping would
be required.
5. Provide right turn lane warrants for both entrances and a left turn lane warrant for Route
20.
6. Show that trucks can make the left turn in to the Route 20 entrance.
7. The respective design storms for principal (Route 250) and minor (Route 20) arterials are
50 and 25 years; only 10 year storms are provided.
8. Show existing drainage structures, particularly in the vicinity of the proposed entrances.
9. CG -12s are needed for the existing sidewalk at the Route 250 entrance.
10. Note that final site plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design Manual
Appendices B(1) 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.

Subject: LiDL Initial Site Plan
Today, the ARB approved their consent agenda, which included the LiDI Initial Site Plan. Recommended conditions are as
follows:
ARB -2016-151: LiDL Initial Site Plan - Initial Site Plan (TM/Parcels 078000000005A0, 078000000005130,
078000000058G1)
Regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines as per § 18-30.6.4c (2), (3) and (S) and recommended
conditions of initial plan approval:
1. Show planting area on site along Rt. 20 and Rt. 250, clear of utilities and easements, to accommodate required
frontage planting: large shade trees, interspersed ornamentals, and shrubs.
2. Clearly show all utilities and easements on the plan.
3. Increase the size of the long planting islands located between the double parking rows to accommodate trees.
• Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines:
o None.
• Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit:
o None.
Regarding the final site plan submittal:
A Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval. The following items shall be addressed in
the final site plan submittal:
1. Continue to revise the proposal to use forms, features and materials that together establish a design that reflects the
historic architecture of the area.
2. Continue to revise the architectural design to establish human scale and use architectural detail to relieve blankness.
3. Show Rt. 20 frontage planting on site and include a note to clarify when it will be planted.
4. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the architectural drawings: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment
from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
5. Include in the site plan set light fixture cut sheets that clearly show the fixtures are full cut off fixtures.
6. Provide information to clarify the impact of interior illumination on the Entrance Corridor at night.
7. Add the standard lighting note to the plan: "Each outdoor luminaire equipped with a lamp that emits 3,000 or more
initial lumens shall be a full cutoff luminaire and shall be arranged or shielded to reflect light away from adjoining
residential districts and away from adjacent roads. The spillover of lighting from luminaires onto public roads and
property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one half footcandle."
8. Increase planting area along Route 250 to accommodate the EC frontage planting: 31/2" caliper large shade trees
spaced 35' on center.
9. Clearly show all utilities and easements on the plan. Provide all required planting outside of utilities and easements.
10. Add trees in the long planting islands between the double parking rows.
11. Add shrubs along the western parking perimeter.
12. Add trees along the west side elevation to soften the appearance of the wall.
13. Increase planting area along Route 250 to accommodate the EC frontage planting: 31/2" caliper large shade trees
spaced 35' on center, with interspersed ornamentals and a row of shrubs, 24" high at planting, clear of utilities and
easements.
14. Identify the retaining wall material on the plan and provide a sample for review.
15. Provide evidence that VDOT has approved the two trees in the right-of-way at the entrance into the site from Rt.
20.
16. A separate application for signage will be needed. Note that internally illuminated cabinet signs must have opaque
backgrounds, such that only the "LiDL" letters of the wall signs could illuminate at night.
Also note the following issues of concern:
17. The taper in the retaining walls.
18. Adding climbing or cascading plants on the retaining walls.
19. Moving the development back on the site to increase planting area along Rt. 250.
20. Landscaping that meets the guidelines along the Rt. 250 frontage.
21. The screen on the south elevation: sample, cut sheet, photos, options for a fixed screen?
22. Further develop the scale and texture of south fagade to further unify the building.
23. Consider the entrance for greater consistency with datums on the elevations and/or with procession.
