[Albemarle County Site Plan Amendment Policy] It appears this is truly the 4' minor amendment to SDP2006- 41, with the rest being (SDP2010-84, SDP2013-35, SDP2018-55). I have spoken with senior staff and it's been agreed upon that we will permit a 41 minor amendment because of the time it's taken to complete the initial review of this plan, as well as the nature of the changes; however, the next amendment to this plan will need to be covered in a Major Site Plan amendment encompassing all minor amendments and LORs. 2. [Albemarle County Site Plan Amendment Policy] The "8 future townhomes" shall be included on this site plan as proposed or they shall be removed. If they are not proposed on this plan, once they are submitted they will trigger a major site plan amendment. 3. [21.7(c)] Currently the plans propose offsite sidewalks, curbs, and grading located on the adjacent C-1 zoned property, specifically to the south and east property lines of the site and at the entrance along Camelot Drive. Prior to the minor site plan being approved a boundary line adjustment plat and or easement plat shall be reviewed and approved to permit the improvement to remain in their current location. Additionally, prior to plat approval a special exception to the 20' undisturbed buffer requirement of Section 21.7(c) shall be submitted and approved prior to plat and/or site plan approval. 4. [32.7.2.31 Sidewalks. Provide a sidewalk on the frontage of the property along Camelot Drive. 5. [32.7.2.3, 14-422(B), Design Standards Manual (F)] Sidewalks. The sidewalks in the development shall be 5' wide, currently they are 4' wide. Revise. 6. [SDP2013-35 Mitigation Plan Approval] Depict and label the required/approved 7' tall wooden fence behind the adjacent commercial parcels. This was previously required/approved on the mitigation plan (SDP2013-35). 7. [4.12.16] Dimension all driveways and garages on the site plan. Currently there are proposed lots with driveways that do not meet the minimum length of 18' excluding the sidewalk. Driveways shall not overlap sidewalks to meet the minimum lengths. Ex) Lots 6, 7, and 135. Revise. 8. [4.6.6(c)] Label the grade of each driveway. 9. [4.12.15(a)] Label the surface material for the private road, the parking area, and the sidewalks. 10. [32.7.2.2, 14-410, 14-412(4)B, Engineering Design Standard Manual] The necessary street improvements, sidewalks and landscape strips, are located outside of the private street right-of-way and instead are located on individual lots in proposed easements. If this design is to remain, all front setbacks shall be measured from the back of the sidewalk easement. 11. [32.7.9, 14-3171 Depict, dimension, and label all 6' landscape easements for the street trees to be permitted on residential lots. Depict, dimension, and label the sidewalk and access easements on the residential lots. Prior to final plat approval a maintenance agreement for these plantings and the sidewalks shall be reviewed and approved by the County Attorney. Additionally, a maintenance agreement for the private street shall also be submitted for review and approval by the County Attorney. 12. [ZMA2004-14, 32.7.2.2, 14-410(H), 14-422(D), 14-422(E), 14-422(F), 32.3.5(b)] On the existing portion of Elm Tree Court and on the proposed portion, depict, label, and dimension the 2' strip of grass (landscape strip) between the sidewalk and the curb. This was provided on the existing/built portions of the private street and shall be continued. Also, this layout was required in older portion of the Briarwood residential development and shall be continued through this phase per the application plan. 13. [ZMA2004-14] On the plan please specify, no minimum lot size applies to these lots. 14. [ZMA2004-14] Revise the setbacks to include building separation of 12' minimum. 15. [Comment] Please remove sheet 3, the approved layout plan, as it is easily confused as the current proposal. Staff has the approved plans on file. Please omit this sheet. ACSA — Richard Nelson 1. Looking at the Landscape Plan the fire hydrant is in the parking spaces. They will need to move it back to the correct location and ensure landscaping is outside of the easement (looks like there is a proposed tree close and is hard to tell if it meets the 10-foot spacing requirement).
