Memorandum
To: Justin Shimp
From: Christopher P.Perez,Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: June 20,2018
Subject: SDP201800036 Oak Hill Convenience Store—Initial Site Plan
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plan referenced above once the following
comments 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,which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
1. [35.1]Fees. The public notification fee of$215 was not paid prior to the SRC meeting. Please pay the fee prior to any
further review/action of the plan. Additionally,the applicant paid an incorrect application fee of$752;however,no
preapplication plan has been approved for this site. Rather the true application fee is$1,290+$0.16/SF nonresidential
structure.Prior to action ensure the correct fees are paid,otherwise the plan will be denied.
2. 132.5.2(j),32.5.2(k)]Existing and Proposed Sewer Facilities. The plan fails to depict the existing and proposed sewer
facilities.Per conversations with the applicant they plan to utilize existing septic system to serve the use. Provide a
note on the plans to this affect.Also,on the plans depict the location and the extent of the primary and reserve
drainfields.Prior to final site plan VDH shall approve the septic system to ensure it is adequate for the uses.
If VDH considers the additional of gas pumps to cause an increase in the sewer capacity requirements of the use and
the existing system needs to be upgraded or expanded.The modified system shall be located on the C-1 zoning of the
property.As the drainfields for the commercial use must be located on the C-1 portion of the property because the use
and accessory use is only permitted in the C-1 zoning district and not in the residential zoning.
3. [32.5.2(j),32.5.2(k)]Existing and Proposed Water Facilities. The plan fails to depict the proposed water facilities
serving the use.Per conversations with the applicant they are utilizing public water to serve the use,and have been
connected for a few months.Provide a note on the plans to this affect.Depict the location of the water lines and the
connections. Depict and label all off site and onsite easements for the water connection.ACSA approval shall be
required prior to final site plan approval.Also,on the plans depict and label all wells on this lot which serve the mobile
homes.
4. [5.1.20]Sale of Petroleum Products. No storage tanks,including underground tanks shall be located closer than 100'
feet from any lot line when the site is served by well.The commercial use is served by public water,thus the 100'
setback to property lines is not triggered;however,the existing mobile homes(residential uses),on the same lot are
served by well. Staff is concerned with possible contamination of these citizens drinking water due to potential spills
and runoff from the pumps. It is recommended that the underground storage tank be relocated on the other side of the
fuel canopy to provide the equivalent 100'buffer to the remaining mobile homes on the property.
5. [21.7(C)]Buffer Zone Adjacent to Residential Districts. The property is split zoned and grading is proposed within the
20'undisturbed buffer between the residential and the commercial zoning.This is not permitted as no construction
activity including grading or clearing of vegetation shall occur closer than 20 feet to any residential district.
Additionally,the adjacent residentially zoned property(TMP 76-52P)is required to be given a 20 foot undisturbed
buffer area. It is important to note that disturbance of the buffer zone is not allowed even for the purpose of screening.
In order for required screening to be planted in the undisturbed buffer area a special exception shall be requested and
approved by the BOS prior to final site plan approval.

6. [4.20]Parking Setback. The 5 parallel parking spaces in front of the building do not meet minimum parking setbacks
from the right-of-way and shall be removed.While it is understood these spaces are existing,they are not previously
approved parking spaces depicted on an approved site plan,nor are they existing in this same capacity or arrangement.
As such they are not permitted to remain.

8. [32.5.2(b),4.12.16(c)]Information for Proposed Use. Provide a parking schedule along with calculations of required
parking,including the maximum amount required and the amount provided.The information provided on the site plan
was crossed out by the applicant on all review copies and was not reviewed at this time.Also,provide square footages

The proposed fuel pump canopy is expected to have a minimal level of visibility from the Rt. 631 Entrance Corridor,but
visibility is expected to increase when the under-canopy lights are illuminated.The canopy design must be consistent with
the Entrance Corridor Design Guidelines,and in particular the fuel pump canopy guidelines.Note that illumination at
ground level under the canopy should not exceed 20 footcandles. The applicant should consult the guidelines and submit
detailed canopy design information with the final site plan for ARB staff-level review.
