RE: SUB201900023 Old Trail Village, Block 32, Phase 1— Final Plat; 2nd Review
Dear Mr. Hutchinson:
The Site Review Committee has reviewed the development proposal referenced above. Initial comments
from the following divisions of the Department of Community Development and other agencies, as
applicable, are attached:
Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner)
Albemarle County Engineering Services (Engineer)
Albemarle County Information Services (E911)
Albemarle County Building Inspections
Albemarle County Department of Fire Rescue
Albemarle County Service Authority
Virginia Department of Transportation
Comments reflect information available at the time the development proposal was reviewed and should
not be considered final. However, the Site Review Committee has attempted to identify all issues that will
be required to be resolved prior to Final Plat approval.
Because Block 32 is now proposed to be phased, rather than subdivided all with one plat, the comments
made during the first review that applied to those areas in what is now proposed as Phase 2 have been
removed, and those comments will have to be addressed at the time that the plat for Phase 2 is submitted
for review. The comments included in this letter apply only to the submitted plat for Phase 1.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience if you have questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
Andy Reitelbach
Senior Planner

Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) — Andy Reitelbach, areitelbach&albemarle.org — Requested changes:
I. [14-302(A)(13)] Please show the location of all proposed drainage and stormwater management
facilities and related improvements. Deeds of dedication may be needed if any of these easements will
be dedicated to public use. In addition, identify whether the easements are being dedicated as private
or to the public. For example, the SWM facility easement on the northeast corner of the property does
not identify who it is being dedicated to. Who are the sight distance and temporary turnaround
easements being dedicated to?
2. [14-302(A)(14)] Provide the acreage of land to be dedicated to either the County or to the Old Trail
HOA on the cover sheet of the plat.
3. [14-302(A)(15)] There are easements shown extending onto neighboring properties, such as the
stormwater management easement on the northeastern corner of the property. The owners of these
properties will also have to sign the plat, and include additional signature panels. In addition, include
these parcels in the site data information on the cover sheet, along with names and addresses of the
property owners.
Include the names and addresses of all existing easement holders for easements on this property.
4. [General Comment] Is Open Space 32-1 proposed to be subdivided and dedicated with this plat? It
appears on sheet 2 that this may be the case; however, on sheet 3, there are only dashed lines shown
rather than solid lines indicating a new parcel.
5. [14-302(B)(1)] Include the date of the last revision on future submittals of the plat.
6. [14-302(B)(5)] Include "Steep Slopes — Managed" in the overlay districts on the cover sheet, as there
are small areas of managed steep slopes on this property. Also, identify on the plats sheets the location
of those areas that are managed steep slopes and preserved steep slopes.
7. [14-302(B)(5)] In the zoning information on the cover sheet, include the variation for this property that
was approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 6, 2019, allowing for the reduction of the water
protection ordinance (WPO) buffer in certain areas of this property. Include the conditions of the
variation on the plat.
8. [14-302(B)(6)] Provide the TMP number for the open space parcel to the south of the Block 32 parcel.
9. [14-302(B)(10)] Depict on this plat the WPO stream buffers that are located on this property.
10. [14-303(D)] Revise the acreage amounts on the cover sheet or on sheets 3-4 of the plat for the open
space and residue amounts. The acreage amounts on sheet 2 match what is shown on the cover sheet.
However, the acreage amounts for open space on sheets 3-4 do not match what is shown on sheet 2 and
the cover sheet. Please fix this discrepancy.
11. [14-302(A)(4) and 14-317] An instrument/maintenance agreement evidencing maintenance of all
improvements and easements that will be owned by the HOA will be needed before approval of the
final plat. The maintenance agreement will need to specifically mention who is responsible for
maintenance of improvements. The Old Trail Community Association, Inc. (if this is the correct
organization maintaining the private improvements), will need to sign the maintenance agreement, and
this will need to be reviewed and approved by the County Attorney and recorded with the County Clerk
at the same time as the final plat.
12. [14-422] Please provide a note regarding landscaping and sidewalks on Sheet 1 that states that street
trees and sidewalks will be provided in accordance with Chapter 14 of the Albemarle County Ordinance
and are shown on the road plans for Old Trail Village Block 32, SUB201800164.
13. [ZMA2015-000011 Label the proposed affordable units on the plat, in accordance with proffer #2 of
the ZMA.
14. [ZMA2015-00001] Include a table in the plat showing the numbers of affordable units for all blocks of
the Old Trail development, so that staff can determine the percentage of affordable units in the
development to this point.
15. [ZMA2015-00001] Include a table in the plat showing the acreage of pocket parks and green space for
all blocks of the Old Trail development, so that staff can determine the percentage of parks and green
space in the development to this point.
16. [General Comment] Site plan(s) will be required for any attached units. (It appears, however, that all
of these lots are for single-family detached units, with the attached units coming in Phase 2.) Clarify
the types of housing units proposed for the lots, as there are different requirements for different types
of lots.
17. [General Comment] The road plan for this block must be approved before final approval of the final
plat can be granted. In addition, the WPO plan and the ACSA utility plan must also be approved before
approval of the final plat.
Comments from Other Reviewers:
Albemarle County Engineering Services (Engineer) — Emily Cox, ecox2&albemarle.org — Requested changes:

2. Easements should say public or private. If public, should say dedicated to public use.
3. Road plan and WPO Plan must be approved and bonded before this subdivision plat can be approved.

Review #2
Dear Mr. Reitelbach:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Roudabush, Gale, &
Associates, dated 16 May 2019, and offers the following comments:
Streets intended to be made public must be decided to the County for Public Use, not just
to "Public Use". Please add a note that reflects this and correct the callouts on the plat
sheets.
2. Please add a note stating that sight distance easements are dedicated to public use and
shall be kept clear of visual obstructions, including but not limited to fences, structures,
and landscaping.
3. Also add a note stating that VDOT will only maintain within drainage easements to the
extent necessary to protect the roadway from flooding or damage.
Please provide a copy of the revised plan along with a comment response letter. If further
information is desired, please contact Justin Deel 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.
