To: Justin Shimp, P.E. (justin@shimp-en ing eering com)
From: Cameron Langille, Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: January 25, 2018
Subject: SDP201700077 Greenmont Hopworks — Initial Site Plan
The Planner/Engineer for the Current Development Division of the Albemarle County Department Community
Development will recommend approval of the plan referred to above when the following items 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 to the
Albemarle County Code.]
Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) — Cameron Langille, blan ig llekalbemarle.org — Required changes:
1. [32.5.2 (a)] Please amend Sheet C2. The property label states the incorrect owner names and most recent instrument
for property ownership. The instrument number is Deed Book 3929, pages 648-656.
2. [32.5.2 (a)] Please amend the Proposed Use and Zoning sections of the data table on Sheet C 1. The Special Use Permit
(SP201700017) was approved by the Board of Supervisors on January 10, 2018. The approval date should be stated
also.
a. Please add the conditions approved with SP201700077 as an exhibit on the drawings.
b. Please add the Concept Plan that was approved with SP201700077 as an exhibit on the drawings.
3. [32.5.2 (b)] Under "Proposed Use" on Sheet C1, please state "Commercial fruit or agricultural produce packing plant,
Section 10.2.2.23 of the Zoning Ordinance. Approved January 10, 2018 (SP201700017)."
4. [32.5.2 (b)] Please amend the Parking Schedule on Sheet C1. The "Required Parking" calculation does not clearly
identify which standard/use from Section 4.12.6 of the Zoning Ordinance is being applied. Furthermore, the Parking
Schedule does not state the calculation that was used to determine how many customer spaces are required (i.e. 1
customer space per sq. ft. of gross floor area). Was the "Production, processing, testing, repairing, or servicing
materials, goods or products" standard applied to this project? If so, please amend the use type listed under Parking
Schedule on Sheet C1.
5. [32.5.2 (b)] No loading spaces are included in the Parking Schedule on Sheet C1. This site will be required to install
loading spaces in accordance with Section 4.12.13 (c) of the Zoning Ordinance. Please add the calculation to Sheet C 1
on the final site plan.
6. [32.5.2 (d)] The final site plan will need to show all proposed grading associated with the project. Please see
Engineering comments below regarding submittal and approval of a Water Protection Ordinance (WPO) plan.
7. [32.5.2 (f)] Please label the 100' WPO stream buffer on Sheets C2 and C3. The buffer coincides with the location of

10. [32.5.2 (n)] Please show all proposed loading areas on the final site plan.
11. [32.5.2 (n)] No trash containers or dumpster pads are shown on Sheet C3. This site will require a dumpster pad in
accordance with Section 4.12.13 (e) of the Zoning Ordinance. Dumpster pads must comply with the design standards
stated in Section 4.12.19 of the Zoning Ordinance.
12. [32.5.2 (n)] The perpendicular parking spaces shown on Sheet C3 do not meet the minimum 9' width required by
Section 4.12.16 (c) of the Zoning Ordinance. The spaces must be 9' x 18' when adjacent to a 24' vehicle travelway.
Please amend the parking layout and design as necessary.
13. [32.5.2 (n)] The site plan does not show any/label any sidewalks inside of the development. All sidewalk and pedestrian
access improvements must be shown, labeled, and dimensioned. This includes handicap ramps leading from all
proposed sidewalks within and adjacent to the parking area.

number of required trees. State the proposed species and caliper/height at time of installation.
b. [32.7.9.6] Please demonstrate that at least 5% of the parking area and vehicular circulation area will be
landscaped. Identify proposed landscaping materials, include caliper/height at time of installation.
c. [32.7.9.8] Please demonstrate that an overall tree canopy of at least 10% of the site area will be installed.

15. [32.5.2 (n) and 32.7.31 The site plan shows gravel as the surface material for most of the parking area and internal
vehicle travel ways. Additional details of the gravel will be required on the final site plan and is subject to final approval
by the County Engineer.
16. [32.5.2 (n) and 4.171 The final site plan will need to include a lighting plan showing all proposed outdoor lighting
locations, lummaire types, heights, footcandle measurements inside of the property and along all proposed property
lines, and include manufacturer specifications demonstrating compliance with full -cutoff standards in accordance with
Section 4.17 of the Zoning Ordinance.
17. [General Comment] Prior to final site plan approval, a separate easement plat application must be submitted,
reviewed, and approved for all proposed easements associate with the development.

Review #1
Dear Mr. Clark:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Shimp Engineering, dated 4
December 2017, and offers the following comments:
1. Provide dimensions between proposed entrance and any other commercial entrances or
intersections. Will the existing entrances to the parcel remain? It appears those entrances
do not meet spacing requirements. Note that the minimum entrance spacing for a 55 mph
Collector road is 445 feet.
2. The required intersection sight distance is 695 feet; this plans show 495 feet. Profiles are
also required. Sight distance easements are required where the sight line is not within the
ROW.
3. The minimum commercial entrance width is 30 feet.
4. Note that the 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.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process.

RE: Greenmont Hopworks
Initial Site Plan
SDP2017- 77
Mr. Langille:
As requested, I've reviewed the Initial Site Plan, dated December 4, 2017, for the
proposed development, referenced above, and offer the following comments with regard
to water & sewer:
Water: I recommend chlorinating the existing well and testing for coliform
bacteria prior to use and annually thereafter. If a total of at least 25
individuals (employees, customers, etc.) per day are to use the well water,
the well will need to be regulated as a waterworks by the Office of
Drinking Water (540-463-7136).
Sewage: It appears the property has been investigated and an area identified for the
location of a drainfield, however, our office has not yet received, or
approved, the plans. Until plans for a Sewage Disposal System permit are
approved, this area may be subject to change.
Recommendation: Approval
Conditions: Owner obtains sewage disposal system permit for the area
indicated as "Approx. Drainfield Location"
If there are any questions or you wish to discuss, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
Sincerely,
