5. [32.5.2a] The private road design as proposed on this site plan does not meet the intention of proffer #1
for interconnectivity that was approved by the County through ZMA201300002. Parking stalls which back
into the travel lanes of the private road are not permitted. Please consult with the County Engineer for
further questions regarding permitted design of the private road. Comment addressed.
6. [32.5.2a] Please state the zoning districts of all abutting parcels in the property description labels across all

provide spec sheets demonstrating that those models will be installed with full -cutoff shields.
11. [32.5.2n] The lighting plan shows footcandle measurements that are higher than the maximum 0.5
footcandles permitted along property lines and right-of-ways. Please amend the light locations as necessary
to bring the footcandle measurements into compliance with the regulations set forth in Section 18-4.17 of
the Albemarle County Code. Comment not fully addressed. It appears that the footcandles near the private

luminaires onto public roads and property in residential or rural areas zoning districts shall not exceed one-
half footcandle." Comment addressed.
13. [32.5.2n] The lighting plan shows two handicap parking spaces on the west side of the building which are
not shown on any other drawings. Please amend the plans so that handicap parking space locations match
across all drawings. Comment addressed, site layout has changed since initial site plan.
14. [32.5.2r] Please provide a legend showing all symbols, line types, and abbreviations used on the plan.

18. [32.5.2a] As a reminder, the other proffers (#2 and #3) and the required access easement to TMP78-6(as
stated in proffer #1) approved through ZMA201300002 must be addressed on the site plan for any future
development proposed onTMP 78-5G1. Comment not fully addressed. Please amend Notes 2 and 3 on
Sheet R1.0 to state that Proffers 2 and 3 will need to be satisfied with any future development on TMP
78-58G1.
New Comments Final Site Plan:
19. [32.6.2 (d) and Chapter 14] Please submit an easement plat and application to the County that shows all
new easements proposed by the site plan. This includes all new drainage, stormwater, ACSA utility
easements, etc. The easement plat must be reviewed, approved, and recorded prior to approval of the site
plan amendment.
a. [32.7.5 and 4.1] Please show the boundaries of all proposed water and sewer easements on
the utility drawings.
20. [ZMA201300002, 14-234 (E), 14-317, and 14-422 (C)] As part of the easement plat application, a public
access easement will need to be platted over the proposed private street. A private street maintenance
agreement will need to be approved by the County Attorney and recorded with the easement plat. As
required by Proffer #1 of ZMA2013-02, an access easement shall be provided subject to an agreement
between the respective property owners to share the cost of maintenance and construction for shared
portions of the private road. The private street maintenance agreement will need to contain language for
maintenance and construction of the private road between the owners of TMP 78-6 and 78-5A. A template
for private street maintenance agreement can be found on the CDD website.
21. [ZMA201300002, 32.7.2.2 (a), 14-233 (113)(1)] As required by Proffer #1 of ZMA201300002, a separate
"Application for Road Plan Approval" will need to be filed in accordance with Chapter 14 in order to authorize
and construct the private street. The road plan application must be approved priorto final site plan approval.
a. [General Comment] On all applicable site plan drawings, please remove the words "County
Standard" from the private road label.
b. [14-234 (A)] All of the criteria and design standards contained in Section 14-234 (A)(1), 14-410,
and 14-412 will need to be satisfied through the road plan application. The road plans will be
reviewed by the Engineering Division.
3
c. [14-410 (H) and 14-422 (D)] The street trees shown along the private street are not located
within a 6' planting strip between the sidewalk and curb and gutter. A waiver request will need
to be made as part of the road plan application in order to allow the street tree locations as
proposed, which requires Planning Commission approval. The information to be submitted and
findings required for Planning Commission approval are contained in 14-422 (F).
d. [14-410 (H) and 14-422(8)] A waiver request will need to be made as part of the road plan
application to only require sidewalks along one side of the private street. The information to be
submitted and findings required for Planning Commission approval are contained in 14-422 (E).
22. [4.12.11 and 24.2.2] A boundary line adjustment is needed to add TMP 78-56 to TMP 78-5A in order to have
all parking associated with LIDL within a single parcel. Some of the required parking spaces are on TMP 78-
56, and this is considered stand along parking. Stand alone parking requires approval of a Special Use Permit,
but combining the two parcels will eliminate this issue.
23. [General Comment] Please provide documentation that the all portions of the proposed retaining walls will
be located entirely within the easement recorded in Deed Book 4553, pages 473-486.
24. [32.6.2 (a)] The site plan proposes improvements and disturbance on portions of adjacent parcels,
specifically TMP 78-5E and 78-6. Please state the TMP numbers and property owner names and addresses
in the Site Data table on Sheet C0.0.
a. As part of the easement plat mentioned in previous comments, off-site temporary construction
easements will need to be recorded for any encroachments within adjacent parcels.
25. [32.6.1 (e)] There is a discrepancy between Sheet C0.0 and Sheet C1.0 regarding the survey dates. Please
verify whether the survey occurred in June or May 2016 and amend the notes on either drawing as
necessary.
26. [32.6.2 (i)] Please amend General Note 11 on Sheet C1.0 so that it states "Any changes to the parking layout
or reducing/increasing the number of parking spaces as shown on the approved final site plan will require
review and approval by Albemarle County."
27. [32.5.2 (e)] Please label the existing tree line symbology used on the drawings. Currently, the existing
landscape features are shown across all drawings, including areas where parking improvements are
proposed. Existing landscaping should only be shown on Sheet C1.1, and all areas proposed to be removed
must be labeled on that drawing. Existing landscaping to be retained should be shown and labeled on the
Landscape Plan. Tree cutting may only occur in accordance with the standards of Section 18-4.3
28. [32.5.2 (h) and 32.5.7] Portions of TMP 78-58G1 are within the Flood Hazard Overlay District. Please show
the boundaries of the FH district on all applicable drawings with a label, and include this as an overlay district
in the Site Data table on Sheet C0.0.
29. [4.20] Please clarify the setbacks on Sheet C0.0 so that it states the minimum and maximum front setbacks
for buildings along public street right-of-ways. It appears that the existing sidewalks are located within the
Route 250 right of way, so the minimum front setback is 10' along 250. There is no maximum front setback
along 250 since it is classified as a principal arterial highway in the Comprehensive Plan. There is a maximum
30' front setback along Route 20 because it is not classified as a principal arterial highway.
a. Please state the minimum 10' front setback for parking and loading spaces.
b. Please amend the side and rear setbacks so that it states "any primary structure shall be
constructed and separated in accordance with the current edition of the Building Code."
c. [32.6.1(e)] Please all applicable setback lines on Sheet C2.0

square feet of retail gross leasable area, plus one (1) space for each additional twenty -thousand (20,000)
square feet of retail gross leasable area. Please calculate the number of required loading spaces and state
how many will be provided on Sheet C0.0.
a. [4.12.18] Loading spaces must comply with the minimum design standards of the Zoning
Ordinance. Please show loading space locations and dimensions on the site plan.
31. [4.12.19 and 32.7.9.7 (a)(3)] Please provide a profile view detail with dimensions and materials of the
dumpster pad enclosure to verify compliance with the screening requirements contained in the Zoning
Ordinance. Please note that fences or other constructed screening measures must be a minimum of six feet
(6') in height, as specified in 32.7.9.7 (e.)
32. [32.7.3 (b)] Please show the locations of all proposed mechanical equipment and utility hardware. Please
provide information so that the agent can verify they will be screened from public view.
33. [32.7.9.4 (a)] All plant materials that will be used to meet any of the minimum requirements of 32.7.9.5,
32.7.9.6, 32.7.9.7, and 32.7.9.8 shall be chosen from the Albemarle County Recommended Plants List. The
following landscaping materials may not be used to meet the minimum landscaping standards because they
are not on the list:
a. Trees: Quercus Nuttali (QOU NUT);
b. Shrubs: Buxus Sinica Unsularis (BUX WIN); Distylium X 'Blue Cascade' (DIS DIM); Hydrangea
Anomala Petiolaris (HYD ANO); Pennisetum Alopeourides (PEN CAS); Spiraea Prunifolia (SPI BRI).
34. [32.7.9] On Sheets L1.0 and L1.1, please provide the quantity of each species that is shown on the drawing
in a new column in the Plant Key. The callouts for certain items state quantities that do not correspond to
the amount visible on either drawing.
35. [32.7.9.5] The landscape plans do not demonstrate compliance with the minimum required landscaping
along streets.
a. [32.7.9.5 (b)] Large or medium shade trees are required along the private road. Large shade
trees must be installed one every fifty feet (50'), or medium shade trees must be installed once
every forty feet (40'). The landscaping plans show ornamental tree species being planted at
varying intervals along the new private street. These are not large or medium shade trees as
classified by the Albemarle County Recommended Plants List. Please amend the tree species
and locations accordingly.
b. [32.7.9.5 (b)] Street trees are not provided along the property frontage of Route 250 in
accordance with the size, species, location, and spacing requirements of the Ordinance.
c. [32.7.9.5 (c)] Large shade trees must be installed at a minimum of 1 %" - 1 %", and medium
shade trees must be installed at a minimum of 1" —1 %". Please amend the Plant Schedule on
Sheet L2.0 so that each species is installed at the minimum calipers.
36. [32.7.9.5] The landscape plans show four (4) perimeter yard areas with shrubs and trees. Are these areas
intended to meet the parking screening required by 32.7.9.5 (e), or the parking screening as required by
32.7.9.7?
a. [32.7.9.5 (e) or 32.7.9.7 (e)] The Plant Key on Sheet L2.0 should specify the spacing and height
standards for trees and shrubs that are being counted toward meeting either requirement.
b. [32.7.9.7 (d)] Trees and shrubs being used to screen parking that is visible from a street must
be planted within a planting strip not less than twenty (20) feet in depth. the plant materials
shall consist of a double staggered row of evergreen trees planted fifteen (15) feet on center, or
a double staggered row of evergreen shrubs planted ten (10) feet on center. It appears that
5
perimeter parking yards C and D do not have the double staggered rows inside of a 20' wide
planting strip.
37. [32.7.9.8] On Sheet L2.0, please provide a calculation of the overall tree canopy required, and the overall
canopy provided. Commercial uses require a minimum of 10% canopy cover on site. The trees and plant
materials composing the tree canopy are those required under sections 32.7.9.5, 32.7.9.6 and 32.7.9.7, and
any existing trees preserved under section 32.7.9.4(b).
38. [32.7.9.9 (c)] Please add the following note to Sheet L2.0: "All landscaping and screening shall be maintained
in a healthy condition by the current owner or a property owners' association, and replaced when necessary.
Replacement material shall comply with the approved landscape plan."

Memorandum
To: Cameron Langille
From: Emily Cox
Date: 28 Jul 2017
Subject: LIDL - Pantops - FSP (SDP201700039)
The final site plan for Lidl - Pantops has been reviewed by Engineering. The following comments will
need to be addressed before approval:
1. WPO Plan must be approved before final site plan can be approved.
2. Road Plan must be submitted and approved before final site plan can be approved.
3. VDOT approval is required.
4. Please remove sheets that so not apply to the site plan (E&S, SWM).
5. Cannot create open channel outfall in the preserved slopes. Can pipe stormwater through
preserved slopes to get to the existing channel, but cannot create an open channel in the
preserved slopes.
6. Grading along Route 20 in the preserved slopes seems excessive. Was this due to sight
distance issues?
7. Provide signed and sealed design for retaining walls to ensure they are structurally
adequate.
8. Show the location of the geogrid/grading/disturbance that will be necessary to install the
retaining walls. Ensure this is contained on site or within the easement.
9. The left sight distance profile for the entrance on Route 20 appears to have an obstruction
with the existing grade.
10. Provide better detail of the dumpster pad foundation.
