spaces along this stretch of Old Trail Drive.
5. [General Comment] Please include a note on the road plans that the approval of road plans is only for
those elements within the right-of-way. Approval of road plans does not grant approval of items outside
of the right-of-way, such as parcel boundaries, open space locations, building sites, etc.
6. [32.7.9.51 It is recommended that another type of tree be chosen for the streetscape trees located within
the median. The chosen crepe myrtles are listed as a small ornamental tree in the Albemarle County
Recommended Plants List. Section 32.7.9.5(b) of Chapter 18 of the County Code states street tree species
as being large or medium shade trees, which the crepe myrtle is not.
In addition, please be advised that any trees located within the right-of-way should be able to be limbed
high enough so that emergency vehicles, such as firetrucks, are able to easily traverse the right-of-way.
