From: Megan Nedostup- Principal Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: October 15, 2018
Subject: SDP2018-068; SUB2018-159 Pleasant Green Phase 1- Initial Site Plan and
Preliminary Subdivision Plat
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department Community
Development will recommend approve 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.]
Site Plan Requirements:
1. See attached direction from the Post Master regarding group mailboxes. Please
coordinate location with the Post Master.
2. [32.5.2] The required scale is 1"=20' and the plans submitted are 1"=40'. This makes it
difficult to measure and confirm that requirements are being met. Revise to meet the
required scale.
3. [32.5.2 (a)] Parcel 56A1-1-36B shows improvements and should be added to the list of
properties for development.
4. [32.5.2 (a)] Provide the names of the owner for the trail being shown that connects to
an adjacent parcel. This property owner will need to be a part of the application for both
the site plan and the subdivision plat.
5. [4.12.4] An exception is required for the parking. No more than 20% over the required
number of spaces is permitted.
6. [32.5.2 (b)] Remove references to Phase 2 for density and number of units. This
application is for Phase 1 only, and approval will not be given for the number of units
noted on Sheet 1 for Phase 2. In addition, a special use permit cannot be submitted for
additional density. This will need to be accomplished either by a rezoning or a
comprehensive plan amendment.
7. [32.5.2 (b)] Remove the "Potential Roadway Extension and Connection to Orchard
Drive" note and dashed line. This requires a special use permit and will not be approved
with this application.
1
8. [32.5.2 (b)] Setbacks listed are for infill- however this is a non-infill development. Revise
to list and show the correct setbacks.
9. [32.5.2 (b)] Show the tot lot area within the proposed open space.
10. [32.5.2 (f)] Sheet 2 labels the WPO buffer, however the floodplain is not labeled. Show
the floodplain.
11. If a second point of access will be required by Fire/Rescue to Cling Lane, this access will
need to have bollards and will not trigger the special use permit (see attached comment
from Zoning).
12. [32.5.2 (n)] The following need to be dimension and/or materials need to be shown:
1. Sidewalks
2. Driveways
3. Trail
Subdivision Requirements:
1. [14-302 (A) (3)] Sheet two shows a number of existing rights of way with no ownership
information. Will these be vacated? What kind of roads are they? Provide the correct
deed book with ownership and all information regarding these roads in order to
determine the process for vacating them. The deed book and page number listed does
not give information regarding the roads nor does it have a plat associated with it. In
addition, some of these right of way cross property that is not a part of the subdivision,
and therefore if these are being vacated, or a portion of them are being vacated,
additional permission from adjacent owners may be required, and those owner's will
need to be signatories on the plat. All information needs to be shown and then
indicated those rights of way being vacated on the plat.
See State Code section 15.2-2272.
§ 15.2-2272. Vacation of plat after sale of lot.
In cases where any lot has been sold, the plat or part thereof may be vacated according to either of the following
methods:
1. By instrument in writing agreeing to the vacation signed by all the owners of lots shown on the plat and also
signed on behalf of the governing body of the locality in which the land shown on the plat or part thereof to be
vacated lies for the purpose of showing the approval of the vacation by the governing body. In cases involving
drainage easements or street rights -of -way where the vacation does not impede or alter drainage or access for
any lot owners other than those lot owners immediately adjoining or contiguous to the vacated area, the
governing body shall only be required to obtain the signatures of the lot owners immediately adjoining or
contiguous to the vacated area. The word "owners" shall not include lien creditors except those whose debts are
secured by a recorded deed of trust or mortgage and shall not include any consort of an owner. The instrument
of vacation shall be acknowledged in the manner of a deed and filed for record in the clerk's office of any court
in which the plat is recorded.
2. [14-302(A)(3)] Will all of the parcels be combined/vacated via a boundary line
adjustment for this subdivision? There are a number of parcels, and it's unclear if they
will be combined into one parcel or how this will be handled. More information needs
to be shown via a plat.
3. [14-302 (A)(4)] Will the alley need to be a road for frontage purposes for Phase 2 of this
development? If so, this alley should be a public private road and will need to meet all
the requirements including sidewalks, street trees, etc. If it will be a private road, a
justification will be required under 14-233. In addition, the lots will be double frontage
lots and need to include screening as required.
4. [14-302 (A)(5)] Will there be easements for the proposed utilities? Show any and all
easements for all utilities.
5. [14-302(A)(11)] List the deed book and page number for all parcels. The parcels being
developed do not include deed book and page numbers.
6. [14-302 (13)(1)] The title block on all sheet states the plan as a site plan, revise to include
two different submittals and titles, one for subdivision and one for site plan.
7. [14-302 (13)(4)] The cemetery needs to be surveyed and shown on the plat, the location
is not shown on the plan sheets, only a notation on Sheet 1.
8. [14-302 (13)(6)] As stated above under site plan comments, TMP56A1-1-36B should be
added to the plat/plans and all ownership information needs to be listed since there are
improvements being shown on that property.
9. [14-302 (13)(8)] As stated above under site plan comments, this development is an non-
infill development and setbacks needs to be shown accurately.
10. [14-302(B)(9)] As stated above under site plan comments, show the floodplain on the
plat.

— POSTAL SERVICE
Date: November 23,2015
Subject: New Developments
In April 2012, the USPS revised regulation to clarify options for delivery and to provide the USPS
greater autonomy in determining how deliveries are added to the Postal Service network. While
curbline and sidewalk delivery remain viable and approved modes of delivery, the USPS will
determine how and when to approve these modes of delivery consistent with existing Postal
Operations Manual (POM) regulation regarding in -growth and both establishment and extension of
delivery.
Each year, new delivery addresses are added to our city, rual and contract routes which has a major
impact to our delivery cost. To control costs, we need to ensure new residential deliveries are being
made via centralized delivery. We must adhere to the guidelines that govern establishment of new
delivery. The City/County authorities (Planning and Zoning) can not give approval of delivery service
The Postal Service cannot honor agreements that have been made between Planning and Zoning
and the developer.
At a minimum, the USPS will work with the builders and developers to determine what the best mode
of delivery is for the area prior to establishing or extending delivery service. However, as a national
agency, the USPS reserves the right to establish delivery in the most consistent and cost effective
means viable to meet our federal mandate of providing a free form of service that best meets the
need to establish and maintain a safe, reliable and efficient national Postal Service.
Please review the changes to the POM regarding Modes of Delivery and Delivery Equipment.
The changes are designed to enhance our ability to increase centralized and CBU delivery.
• Centralized and CBU delivery is now the default mode of delivery in business areas. Any
exceptions to centralized or CBU delivery mode in business areas must be approved by the District.
(631.2)
• For new residential delivery, CBU is now the default. Exceptions to permit curbline delivery must
be approved by the District. (631.32)
• New deliveries within an existing block with an established mode of delivery no longer assume the
existing mode of delivery. We can require a more efficient mode of delivery (sidewalk delivery, for
example). (631.41)
• While we do not control addresses for buildings, we do control the sequential ordering of addresses
within any centralized delivery equipment. (631.442)
• If more than one building in a complex has the same street address, the delivery equipment must
be grouped at a single location even if some of the units are in a different building. (631.452)
• Centralized delivery or CBU is the default option for delivery in mobile homes or trailer parks that
are permanent residences. Any exceptions to centralized or CBU delivery mode must be approved
by the District (631.462b)
• For dormitories and residence halls not directly affiliated with colleges, the Postal Service
determines the mode of delivery and can require the property owner to accept mail for all the
tenants. We will not distribute mail into centralized delivery equipment. (631.52)
• Delivery equipment must conform with the USPS standards for CBUs and high-rise delivery
equipment, USPS STD 4C wall mounted mail receptacles. Local offices do not have the authority to
approve any other centralized delivery equipment. (631.441)
-2-
• When obsolete delivery equipment is replaced in multi -unit buildings, it must be replaced with
equipment that meets current standards. (632.621)
The USPS standards include options for parcel lockers that we should ensure are provided.
There was also great consideration regarding safety of delivery, which also resulted in the
determination the the type of delivery warrented in your area.

Division: Zoning
Date: 9/13/2018
Subject: Comments for SDP2018-0068 and SUB2018-00159 - Pleasant Green Phase 1
The following comment is provided from the Zoning Division regarding the above -noted
application.
1. Access Issue
a. Emergency access to the proposed development. The proposed development
may need to provide emergency access through adjacent properties that is
subject to conditions of a Special Use Permit (SP1990-00103). The adjacent
properties have partially been developed, and further development of the
residue of those properties may only happen by meeting condition #2,
specifically, the second sentence of Condition #2 highlighted below;
• This stream crossing shall be constructed to provide access to
the 30 lots in the Crozet Crossing subdivision. No development
of residue property or access to adjacent properties is
allowed until second access is provided to Orchard Drive.
The development referred to in this condition is the development of the residue
of the properties subject to the noted SP. Today those subject properties are
identified as Parcel IDs 055CO-030-00-00AO, 055CO-03-00-00OA1, 056A1-01-
00-02500, and 05600-00-00-11500.
The proposed development with this SDP and SUB does not include the
development of the properties subject to the SP. Providing an emergency
access travelway to Cling Lane which would pass through portions of Parcel
IDs 055CO-030-00-OOAO and 056A 1 -0 1 -00-02500 does not constitute
"development" of the property in the context of that word in Condition #2 of SP
1990-00103 thus would not trigger the need for providing a second access to
Zoning Review Comments for SDP2018-00068
Orchard ❑rive. The access referred to in Condition #2 means full vehicular
access, via an approved street, by the lots that have been developed on the
properties subject to the SP as noted above. Access does not mean
emergency access, via an approved travelway, by emergency vehicles to or
from an adjacent property where said access would be appropriately limited for
emergency vehicles only.

Critical Issues
1. The existing MCCOMB ST is incorrectly labeled on the plan as MCCOMB RD. Please correct to
read MCCOMB ST.
2. WAYLAND RD is not an acceptable road name, as there is already a WAYLAND DR that exists
in the county.
Per Part I, Section 4-a of the County's Road !Naming and Property Numbering Manual
(page 6 of PDF):
"A proposed road name which duplicates an existing or reserved road name in
Albemarle County or the City of Charlottesville shad not be approved. An
exception may be made for cul-de-sacs which have the same name as the road
from which they originate (example: "Amberfield Court" which originates from
"Amberfield Drive")."
A new road name will need to be submitted. A suggestion that keeps "WAYLAND" in
the name could be WAYLAND HOUSE LN or a similar name that has a word after
WAYLAND. Please keep in mind, "A road name shall not exceed more than sixteen (16)
characters including spaces and the designator's abbreviation." (Part I, Section 4-c),
Note that if this proposed road will connect to the existing PLEASANT GREEN ST, then a
solution would be to simply use this name. Renaming PLEASANT GREEN ST would
require agreement by all property owners affected by the change, and would be put on
the soonest available Board of Supervisors agenda for approval.
We recommend providing three (3) candidate names to our office for review,
in case your first choices are not acceptable.
Recommendations
1. We strongly recommend against using BURFORD RD, as there is an existing BUFORD ST on
the adjacent property. This has the potential to cause confusion during emergency response.
Per Part I, Section 4-j of the County's Road Naming and Property Numbering Manual [page
7 of PDF].
"No proposed name shall be accepted which is a homonym of an official road name or
may be easily confused with an official road name (example: "Forrestview" and
"Forestvue")."
We recommend providing three (3) candidate names to our office for review, in
case your first choices are not acceptable.
Additional Notes
1. It appears that the road labeled as 'Private Alley' and `Private Travelway' will not be used
for addressing any structures, and thus does not require a name. However, if three (3) or
more structures need to be addressed off of this road (either in this phase or Phase II),
then it will require a name at that time.

Review #1
Dear Ms. Nedostup:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Collins Engineering, dated 14
September 2018, and offers the following comments:
1. McComb Road must have an acceptable turnaround at the stubout. See Appendix F for
turnaround requirements.
2. Wayland Road does not have an acceptable stubout to an adjacent parcel.
3. Intersection sight distance lines cannot pass through lots, driveways, and/or be adjacent to
house corners. Some are missing entirely.
4. The horizontal radius must be measured from the center of the two through lanes, as
depicted in the typical sections. Based on the plan view this does not appear to be the
case on McComb Road as the centerline is being shown too close to the parallel parking
stalls.
5. Design speed, ADT and trip generation, and other roadway design elements must be
provided.
6. Where is the proposed access point to parcel 56AI-1-26?
7. Please include the VDOT Standard CG-6 detail.
8. Note that the final site plan and subdivision/road 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 Dee] at 434-422-9894.
