Subject: SDP201900003 Foothill Crossing V — Final Site Plan
The final site plan referred to above has been reviewed by the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department
of Community Development (CDD) and by other members of the Site Review Committee (SRC).
The Planner will approve the final site plan when the following items (from the Planner and from other SRC plan reviewers)
have been satisfactorily addressed and when all SRC plan reviewers have indicated in writing their tentative approvals. [Each
comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.]
1. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(s)] Project Information. Please include the final site plan application reference number (SDP201900003)
in the Cover Sheet heading.
2. [32.6.20), 32.7.9.5(d), 32.5.2(s)] Location and spacing of street trees. Street trees are required to be planted with even
spacing and located within the street right-of-way. If required street trees cannot be planted this way due to sight distance, or
other conflicting requirements, then the Code states that the planting strip shall be enlarged to accommodate the trees. The
landscaping plan will need to be revised to meet these requirements.
Understanding that it may be difficult to evenly space trees in cul-de-sac areas, the proposed 6ft landscaping and
maintenance easement is acceptable, however more even spacing will be required. Please revise accordingly.
Also, provide a label for the proposed 6ft landscaping and maintenance easement on the Landscape Plan (Sheet 11).
3. 132.6.20), 32.7.9.9(d)] Tree maintenance agreement. If the open spaces and street trees are to be maintained by the
homeowners association, as noted on the Cover Sheet, the applicant will need to submit to an agreement instrument assuring
the perpetual maintenance of the trees, for review and approval by the county attorney. Please include this in the next
submission.
4. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(i), 32.7.2.3] Sidewalks. Provide sidewalks on the south side of Indigo Road or provide evidence that the
development can utilize, and connect to, the pedestrian path located in Claudius Crozet Park as a substitute. If the path will
be used to satisfy the sidewalk requirement, the County may require improvements be made to it.
5. 132.6.2(a), 32.5.2(i)] Off -site easements. Please provide copies of off -site easements or letters of intent to grant access from
off -site property owners to confirm that required elements of this development will be possible.
6. 132.6.2(a), 32.5.2(i)] Trailway. Regarding the "proposed 10' public access easement" over the "proposed primitive
trailway":
a. Please include the material type for the trailway, or note that material selection will be determined by County
Parks Staff, as the trailway is a proposed public accessway.
b. Please clarify why the proposed primitive trailway terminates where it does currently, outside the property. Is
this meant to provide a future connection?
c. Staff recommends adding a note to the plan that the "Final location of the proposed 1 Oft public access
easement to be determined by County Parks Staff' in order to avoid possible conflicts with County inspectors
if the as -built trailway falls outside of the precise trailway location depicted on the final site plan.
d. Please consider altering the lot lines for Lots 16 and 17 to avoid any conflicts and/or potential frustrations from
the lot owners regarding access to the recreation area via the trailway, or, alternatively, one could consider
relocating the trailway entrance off of the cul-de-sac, for example between Lots 13 and 14.
7. [32.6.2(1), 4.161 Recreational Facilities. Please provide the following regarding the proposed recreation area:
a. Per Sec 4.16.1, 6,200sf of recreational facilities are required for this development (200sf x 31units = 6,200sf).
The proposed tot lot is 4,450sf. Please increase the size of the tot lot to meet the requirement or provide
justification for why this requirement is not being met.
b. The minimum facilities, pursuant to Sec. 4.16.2.1.
c. Groundcover material, pursuant to Sec 4.16.1(3).
8. [32.6.2(a)] Property lines. Please show unit lot lines on all Sheets.
9. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.1(c), 4.191 Setbacks. On the Cover Sheet, revise the setback notes to state that the side setback minimum is
"1 Oft, unless the building shares a common wall..." and that the maximum rear setback is "None".
10. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(b)] Bedrooms. Provide the number of bedrooms for each type of dwelling unit.
11. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(s)] Vicinity Map. Please call out only the parcel that development is proposed on. The map currently is
calling out an additional parcel.
12. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] Sheet Index. Revise the sheet index to align with individual sheet titles.
13. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(r)] Symbols. The legend given on the Cover Sheet does not match the symbology used throughout the
plan. Please review and revise.
14. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] Present uses. In addition to the zoning district of each abutting parcel, please also provide the present
uses of neighboring parcels.
15. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a)] Departing lot line. On Sheet 2, maintain the same symbology for departing lot lines; it appears to
change. Please review and revise.
16. [32.6.20), 32.7.9.4(c)(1)] Existing landscape features. On Sheet 2, enclose the wooded area symbology to clearly indicate
the tree line of the forested area on the property.
17. 132.6.2(a), 32.5.2(a), 4.11.2(c)] Accessory structures in required yards. The Site Plan (Sheet 3) notes a typical concrete
patio in the backyard of each proposed lot. Please revise this note to implicitly state that "in accordance with current County
Code, if the demarcated area falls within the rear yard setback, it may only be developed as a patio", as porch structures are
not permitted within the rear yard setback.
18. [32.6.1(e)(3), 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(s)] Proposed contours. Include proposed contours on Sheet 3.
19. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(n)] Paving materials. The application did not appear to include a proposed paving material for the
driveways. Please ensure this information is provided in the next submission.
20. [32.6.2(k)] Outdoor lighting. No lighting has been shown on the current site plan. If the plan intends to have any outdoor
lighting in excess of 3,000 lumens an outdoor lighting plan will be required, pursuant to Sec 32.6.2(k).
21. 132.6.20), 32.7.9.4(b)(2)] Conservation checklist. Please make sure the owner signs the conservation checklist when the
final plat is ready for approval.
22. [32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(s)] Offsite Elements. Staff recommends removal any off -site depictions of other developments. As they
are not currently existing, this development may risk of being held in non-compliance if those off -site elements are not built
in the future, as they are included as elements of this final site plan.
23. [Comment] Once the final site plan is reviewed, a final subdivision plat will be needed to create plats for individual lots and
review/approve easement areas.

Review # 1
Dear Ms. Gleason:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Collins Engineering, dated 2
October 2018, and offers the following comments:
1. An SSAR Exception for connectivity will be required in order for this plan to be
approved.
2. There must be a 40' buffer between the cul-de-sac and parallel parking.
3. Street trees cannot be within 30 feet of the curb return at intersection.
4. Storm sewer pipes should cross streets at about 90 degrees; there are several that
excessively exceed this.
Please provide a copy of the revised plan along with a comment response letter. If further
information is desired, please contact Justin Dee] at 434-422-9894.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process.
Sincerely,
Adam J. Moore, P.E.
