The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the road plans referenced
above once the following comments have been addressed: [Each comment is preceded by the applicable
reference, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
PLEASE NOTE: Although Planning had stated on12/17/18 that comments had been sufficiently addressed in the last
submission, and only included a requirement that a note in Table 9 on the cover sheet being crossed out prior to the road
plans approval, it appears that when the road plan was last revised to address comments from other reviewers the 3/23/2018
version and not the 11/16118 version (of at least the sheets if not the plan views shown on the sheets) of the site plan was
what was revised. Because of this some of the comments that were specified on September 12, 2018, that had previously
been addressed on the 11116118 version, are no longer addressed and must be now addressed once again.
[14-302(B)8 and COD] Yards. There are proposed lots in Block 9 are reduced to less than 60' width,
which do not meet the requirement of Block 9 for 60 + lot widths (see the bottom of page 8 in the COD).
A variation request (#55) has been submitted for the widths of Block 9 lots but is still under review.
Either the submitted variation will have to be approved, or the lot widths shown on the Road Plan will
have to be revised to match the C.O.D., prior to the approval of this road plan....
REV. 4: (From County View "Comments:" box): Planning has no objection to the Road Plan. However,
this is only because the note has been added to the cover sheet stating that it is a Road Plan Only and
that the plan is only for approval of the elements associates with the construction of the road
improvements. Another note that was added to this last submission (11/16/18) of the road plan will be
marked through because it is incorrect. It is a revision to Table 9 (Residential Lot Regulations) on the
cover sheet that was not requested by the reviewers and is incorrect. THEREFORE, before road plan
approval #7 (7. Minimum Block 4 Side Setbacks is 3' for lots greater than 60' in width.") will be marked
through on the table 9. This was an item that was included in previous submittal of the road plan but it
was removed when variation #56 was withdrawn from review in an email on 2/26/18. Since the
variations was withdrawn from review, and not approved by the BOS, this note cannot be part of the
table on this coversheet or other coversheets for Belvedere NMD.
REV. 5: Comment not fully addressed. Revise the notes in Table 9 (Residential Lot Regulations)
on the cover sheet to be correct. Remove note #7 ("7. Minimum Block 4 Side Setbacks is X for
lots _greater than Win width.") from the table. This was in previous versions of the road plan,
but it was removed when variation #56 was withdrawn from review in an email on 2126/18. Since
it was withdrawn from review, and not approved by the BOS, this must be removed from the
table on the coversheet.
11. [COD] Revise Table 8 Road Standards. The table does not match either the Street Standards in the
C.O.D. (page 33) or previously submitted variation request #57 that is currently under review. The table
specifies that there will be parking on both sides of Road H and I, although the road plan show and
variation #57 requests that there be parking only on one side of these streets. Also, each of the rows
for roads H and I should specify whether the standard is for the West or East side of the Blvd. Note that
either the submitted variation request will have to be approved, or the road standards shown on the
Road Plan will have to be revised to match the C.O.D., prior to the approval of this road plan....
REV. 3: Comment not fully addressed. The road sections (sheet 6) now show parking on both sides
of Road H & I and Variation request #57 has been withdrawn. However the following must be
addressed:
i. In all plan views of the west side of Road H & I show parking spaces on both sides of the
road.
ii. In all plan views of the west side of Road H & I show the center line of the road in the correct
location for having parking on both sides of the road.
iii. Ensure the transition from the east to the west side of Roads H & I is carefully engineered
through the intersection with Belvedere Blvd, since the road sections are changing from one
side to the other.
REV. 5: Rev. 3 comment not fully addressed. Address the following:
i. On Sheet 14 and 16, for the west side of Road H & I (Barnett Street and Shelton
Street), show parking spaces on both sides of the road.
ii. On Sheet 14 and 16, for the west side of Road H & I (Barnett Street and Shelton
Street), show the center line of the road in the correct location for having parking on
both sides of the road.
iii. On Sheet 14 and 16, for the west side of Road H & I (Barnett Street and Shelton
Street), ensure the transition from the east to the west sides are carefully engineered
through the intersection with Belvedere Blvd, since the road sections are changing
from one side to the other.
26. [C.O.D. & 32.7.9.5] Landscaping Along Streets. Revise the landscape plan on Sheet No. 16 to provide
the required street tree calculations to assure compliance with the C.O.D. and ordinance. In the
calculations provide the amount of street frontage for all of the roads in the road plan and show that the
minimum distance between street trees has been met.
REV. 1: Comment not fully addressed. The notes on the landscaping sheet do not appear to be
complete and in some cases do not appear to be correct. Address the following:
REV. 5: Revise the street tree count (plan and chart) and location alona Fowler Street so that
the number of street trees required for and shown on the Phase IVA Final Site Plan (SDP2019-59)
are provided on this Road Plan. Also. ensure that the tree locations are the same as on the site
plan.
35. [NEW COMMENT — ZMA2004-71 Split zoning. The Lot labeled as "Lot 48" in this road plan is shown as
being a split zoned lot. Staff strongly recommends against creating split zoned lots. It is recommended
that the plan be modified to develop single zoned lots. "Lot 48" is split zoned in such a way that any
building site is split almost in half. Because of this the plans and plat must demonstrate the proposed
use, setbacks, and code of development standards can be met in each of the two districts for the lot
created. The zoning, proposed use, and density data shown in the plans and plats must be updated to
include this information for this one split zoned lot.
REV. 2: Comment not fully addressed. Zoning has stated that the note provided on the setbacks for Lot
48 appear to be appropriate. However, the note states that the side setback is 5' while the setback lines
are shown as 5' on one side and 3' on the other. Revise the setback lines to match the wording of the
note or discuss with review planner if needed.
REV. 3: Comment not fully addressed. The note in the upper left corner of Sheet 3, about Lot 48 (now
labeled as 228) being split zoned no longer applies based upon NMD line change discussions with
zoning and should be removed from the Road Plan. Remove this note.
REV. 5: Rev. 3 comment is no longer fully addressed. Address the "REV. 3:" comment.
44. [NEW COMMENTI Revise the note in the upper right hand corner of Sheet No. 3 about the 6'
maintenance easements to include lots 57 and 197 through 201. Add a label and leaders in Block 9 to
show that the easement applies to those lots, since they have 3' side setbacks.
REV. 3: Comment not fully addressed. Address the following:
a) Revise the note to state that all lots with side setbacks of less than 4'-11" shall have a 6'
maintenance easement along their side yards. Please note that all lots currently proposed appear
to show 3' side setbacks and therefore this easement specified in the C.O.D. will be required on all
the lots.
b) Add labels for this requirement to the Block 9 area.
REV. 5: Rev. 3 comment is no longer fully addressed. Address the "REV. 3:" comment, both a)
& b). Please note, as will be stated in the comments for other submissions, these easements are
to the adjoining property owner for maintenances of not only their fences but for any
improvements including the house.
47. REV. 3: [NEW COMMENT] IMPORTANT: It appears that the comments addressed were those from
the 5/22/17 comments and not the most recent planning comments from 7/20/17 which were sent out
from Engineering on 7/24/17. Because of this many comments above were not addressed. Also, it
appears that many variation request related items have not been updated to match the most recent
submissions of those variation requests. Because a road design variation is no longer being
requested, and in order to minimize the impact of the errors mentioned on the approval timeline, the
plan reviewer has withdrawn many of the comments associated to the variations still being requested
that have not been yet been approved (#53, #54 & #55). With this in mind do ONE of the following:
a) Add a note to the cover sheet that states that "ROAD PLAN ONLY: The tables, lot layouts, open
spaces, setbacks, etc. shown on this plan that are not for Road Plan or wall design purposes have
not been reviewed or approved. Also, the lot layout and open spaces shown are based upon
variation requests that have not been approved at this time. Amendment to the Road Plan may be
required if the variations are not approved and/or if any information shown on this Road Plan was
based upon on inaccurate information." OR
b) Inform the planning reviewer that you wish to address the variation request related comments
previously specified above, and ensure this road plan accurately portrays all variation requests that
have been submitted to date. If that is the applicant's choice then the planning reviewer will revise
the comments above to ensure enough detail has been provided to do so.
REV. 5: Rev. 3 comment is no longer fully addressed. Once again add the note to the cover
sheet about the site plan being a "Road Plan Only". However, revise the note to include the
required open space amenities for the two pocket parks. The note should state instead, "ROAD
PLAN ONLY - This plan is only for the approval of those elements associated with the
construction of the road improvements as shown for the Belvedere Phase IIB roadways and the
required open space amenities."
48. REV. 3: [NEW COMMENT] Revise the existing parcel boundary lines, Tax Map Parcel numbers, deed
book and page number, and acreage of the parcels in the existing conditions sheet to represent the
current parcels based upon recent Boundary Line Adjustment.
REV. 5: Rev. 3 comment is no lonaer fully addressed. Address the "REV. 3:" comment.
50. REV. 5: [NEW COMMENTI Revise the setbacks notes and hatching for lots 197 through 201
(Block 9) to be correct. Since all 5 lots are now below 60' in width the 8' minimum and 16'
maximum front build -to -lines apply. Both of the build -to -lines should be shown, and the
hatching should extend to the minimum build -to -line, as it is shown on the proposed lots for
Blocks 4 and 7. Ensure these changes/additions appear on all proposed sheets including 14 and
16.
51. REV. 5: [NEW COMMENTI Revise the revision dates in all title blocks to correctly show all
previous resubmissions. The 11/16/18 revision date does not appear on the majority of the
sheets of the site plan but should.
52. REV. 5: [NEW COMMENTI Revise the site plan to show the road name approved by E911
(Belvedere Blvd.), for the driveway to TMP 62-2A, on all proposed site plan sheets.
53. REV. 5: FNEW COMMENTI Revise the site plan to show and label all easements shown on the
Phase IS Final Subdivision Plat. There is a public stormdrain easement at the corner of
Belvedere Blvd and Fowler Street that is not vet shown on these road plans. This easement is
related to the creation of the road, is proposed in the Phase IIB plat, and therefore should be
shown on this road plan.
54. REV. 5: [NEW COMMENTI Remove sheet 1A from the sheet set and from Sheet Table List. This
was removed for the 11/16/18 submission but was added back in for this submission. This sheet
includes incorrect information and must not be included in the submission.
55. REV. 5: FNEW COMMENTI Remove the note about Sheet 1A from the cover sheet. Since sheet
1A is being removed from the sheet set this not is no longer needed or correct. It had been
removed for the 11/16/18 submission but was incorrectly added back in for this submission.
56. REV. 5: [NEW COMMENTI Revise the following in the "General Notes:" on the cover sheet to be
the way they were shown on the 11/16/18 and therefore correct:
a) Revise the "Zoning:" note to be updated for the approved variations, with the last approved
variation of #55 on 11/7/2018.
b) Revise the "Development Density:" to be correct, after the approval of the variation requests,
in reference to the "Remaining Allowable Lots".
c) Revise the "Building Sites:" note to have the correct lot numbers.
