Tim Padalino, tadalino e,albemarle.org — No Objection (I/18/2018):
1. 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.
2nd Review Update: ARB review is still in process; Certificate of Appropriateness for ARB201700032 has not
been issued. Please see attached 2nd review comments from ARB staff, Ms. Maliszewski, dated 1/18/2018.
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.
2nd Review Update: Engineering Division review is currently still in process; 2nd review comments have not
yet been received from Engineering Division staff. All Engineering comments will be forwarded upon receipt.
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)].
2nd Review Update: Please see attached 2nd review comments from Mr. Dellinger dated 1/17/2018.
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.
2nd Review Update: ACSA review is currently still in process; 2nd review comments have not yet been received
from ACSA staff. All ACSA comments will be forwarded upon receipt.
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.
2nd Review Update: VDOT review is currently still in process; 2nd review comments have not yet been
received from VDOT staff. All VDOT comments will be forwarded upon receipt.
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).
2nd Review Update: Satisfactorily addressed; complete.
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.

2nd Review Update: Satisfactorily addressed; complete.
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.
2nd Review Update: The comment response letter dated 12/21/2017 acknowledges this requirement, and states
that a plat will be submitted under separate cover. Thank you; please proceed with that submittal as recordation
of the approved easement plat is required prior to final site plan approval.
9. UPDATE: Note 43 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
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.
2nd Review Update: The comment response letter dated 12/21/2017 explains that the Flaming Wok has been
closed since July 2017. With that update acknowledged, the (potential) issues related to minimum parking
requirements referenced above are satisfactorily addressed; complete.

Note : There are currently 3 addresses ( 1305,1301, 1309 ), per our ordinance this should have been given a road name_ If the
new hotel is only one building and the existing structures will be demolished it will not need a road name and be addressed off
Seminole TrI_ If any two of the existing buildings do not get demolished caLising there to still be three addresses, there will be a
need for a new road name with new addresses for all three structures_

Reviewer: 'Margaret Malisrewski F-1 CDD ARB Requested Changes
1_ Tree protection fencing was required to be shown and was included on the landscape and grading plans_ It has since been
removed from the plans_ Please show tree protection fencing on the landscape and grading
plans-
_ Trees are proposed directly under the relocated overhead lines_ Although they are small trees, the location is inconsistent
with Dominions planting recommendations_ Provide confirmation that Dominion is not opposed to the planting_ If confirmation
cannot be obtained_ increase planting area to eliminate the landscapelutility conflict-
3- A comment was previously made regarding the spacing of trees on the south side of the property_ The intent of the comment
was to indicate that 1) large shade trees are required at 40' on center, and 2} the quantity and spacing of trees proposed
between the large trees appears to be excessive for the available space_ Please provide the large shade trees at 40' on center
and intersperse smaller and/or ornamental trees using a spacing that will allow for proper growth_
