Please continue to coordinate directly with ARB staff to obtain the required Certificate of Appropriateness. Please see the attached review comments from Ms. Margaret Maliszewski, Chief of Planning/Resource Management, dated August 11. 2. Please continue to coordinate directly with Engineering Services to address and resolve all issues identified in the most recent review comments. Please see the attached review comments from Mr. David James, Civil Engineer I, dated August 23. 3. Please continue to coordinate directly with Building Inspections to address and resolve the issue of accessible parking spaces. Please see the attached review comment from Mr. Michael Dellinger, Albemarle County Building Official, dated July 25. The issue appears to be whether a minimum of six (6) ADA accessible spaces are required [as indicated by the Parking Requirements notes on Sheet SP2 which state that "6 total accessible spaces" are required "with 1 being van accessible," citing "ADA Standard for Accessible Design Section 4.1.2 (5)(A)"]; or if a minimum of seven (7) ADA accessible spaces are required [as indicated by Building Inspections, citing Mr. Jay Schlothauer's review comments (dated December 9, 2016) pertaining to the initial site plan for this project (SDP201600070)]. 4. Please continue to coordinate directly with ACSA. Please see the attached review comments from Mr. Alexander Morrison, PE, dated August 14, which request three (3) copies of the construction plans, along with water and sewer data sheets, for ACSA review. This review comment was previously forwarded to you on August 15. 5. Please continue to coordinate directly with VDOT to address and resolve all issues identified in the most recent review comments. Please see the attached review comments from Mr. Adam Moore, PE, dated August 10. 6. UPDATE: Please remove the "Proposed Subdivision Line" and corresponding annotation from the final site plan. Although that information is intended to be helpful, the final site plan is not the appropriate document on which to include such information. The regulatory review of proposed division(s) of property(s) must occur via submission and review of a subdivision plat, and should be kept separate from site plan submission and review. To separately pursue the proposed division of the "Future Development Parcel," a plat of division must be prepared and submitted pursuant to Subdivision Ordinance Section 14-207 ("two -lot subdivisions"), inclusive of the required $581.00 application fee per Subdivision Ordinance Section 14-203(B)-1(a). 7. UPDATE: [Section 14-303(E)]: Please remove easements which are not required for this final site plan (such as the "Proposed Access Easement" for the "Future Development Parcel" or the "Proposed 24' Interparcel Access Easement"). Easements which are required for this Final Site Plan (such as the "Proposed 20' Drainage Easement," per Zoning Ordinance Section 17.32.7.4.2) must be identified using bearings and distances and/or other acceptable dimensions standards. Please revise accordingly. However, if the "Proposed Access Easement" to the "Future Development Parcel" must remain on the final site plan for any particular reason: please provide explanation of that reason; add a note to Sheet SP6 to briefly explain the use or necessity of the proposed access easement; and please revise the width of the proposed access easement to ensure it is wide enough to provide a lane for ingress as well as a lane for egress between the future development parcel and Route 29. 8. UPDATE: A corresponding easement plat depicting all required easements must be prepared and submitted pursuant to Subdivision Ordinance Section 14-208.2 ("Easement plats"), inclusive of the required $215.00 application fee per 14-203.3(D)-3. The required easement plat must be reviewed, approved, and recorded prior to County approval of the final site plan. 9. UPDATE: Note #3 on Sheet SP6 indicates that the "Existing Flaming Wok to remain open until such time that grading is performed on future development parcel that will result in the loss of utility service or safe customer access. " This note leaves open the possibility that both the existing restaurant and future hotel could be in operation concurrently. If the applicant wishes to preserve the possibility for those two uses to occur on the same property at the same time, then it must be demonstrated on the final site plan that the subject property contains all necessary improvements as required by County Code to support the concurrent use of TMP #61Z- 03-2 for hotel and restaurant operations. Therefore, if the existing restaurant use is to be continued or if the existing restaurant structure is to remain in Page 2 of 3 place at any time after the hotel use has been commenced, please demonstrate compliance with the minimum parking requirements (aggregated for all uses on the subject property), as specified in Zoning Ordinance Section 4.12.6. If the existing restaurant use is to be discontinued or if the existing restaurant structure is to be demolished prior to the hotel use being commenced, please remove or otherwise modify Note #3 on Sheet SP6.
