Subject: SDP201900032 and SUB201900086- Lochlyn Hills Phase IV - Initial Site Plan and
Preliminary Plat
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department Community
Development will recommend approve the plan and plat referred to above when the following
items have been satisfactorily addressed. (The following comments are those that have been
identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based
on further review.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle
County Code.]
Initial Site Plan Comments:
Required Prior to Final Site Plan Approval:
Planning (Tori Kanellopoulos):
1. [18-4.19] and [18-4.11.1] Setbacks: Revise the front setback labeling for Lots 13 -18.
Front setbacks are measured "from the right-of-way or the exterior edge of the sidewalk
if the sidewalk is outside of the right-of-way". The sidewalk in front of these lots is
outside of the ROW. However, since this will be a public street, the sidewalk should be
in the ROW. Ensure that porches continue to meet setbacks per 4.11.1 as well.
2. [18-4.12] Parking: Label how many on -street spaces are being provided.
3. [18-4.12.16(2)] Parallel parking spaces: Parallel spaces are required to be 9'X20', not
9'X18'. Please revise.
4. [18-32.7.9.2] Landscaping plan: A landscaping plan is required for the final site plan.
Please see advisory comments below:
a. [18-32.7.9.5] Street trees: Full street tree information will be required, including
tree species and caliper, and frontage calculations.
b. [18-32.7.9.8] Tree canopy: A 20 percent tree canopy is required for this
development (based on density). Provide calculations and tree information with
final plan.
5. Affordable Housing Density Bonus: Label the affordable units on the site plan.
6. [18-32.5.2(r)] Legend: Include a full legend with all easements on the final plan.
7. [18-32.6.2(g)] Easements: Note 3 on Sheet 1 indicates all easements will be dedicated to
public use, however this seems to refer to water/sewer easements, not all easements.
Please revise and include if being dedicated to ACSA specifically.
8. [18-32.6.2(d)(e)] Utilities: Show full utility, water/sewer, and grading plans and info
sheets on the final plan.
9. [18-4.16] Recreation and tot lots: Tot lots are required for development of 30 or more
units and at densities of 4 or more units/acre. This development alone is only 22 units,
and is not part of a larger initial plan/plat. Therefore, a tot lot is not required, however it
may be provided. If it is being provided, please show it on the site plan. Otherwise,
revise the note on Sheet 1 that indicates a tot lot is provided.
10. Easement Plat and Documents: An easement plat for all non-ACSA easements will be
required prior to final approval. This plat will include: the private alley easement,
sidewalk maintenance easement (if remains), if any of the proposed drainage or other
easements are private (please label 'private' if so), and any other non-ACSA easements.
The County Attorney's Office will need to review HOA covenants and restrictions for
maintenance and ownership of required improvements, such as open space.
11. Road Plans: Road plans will be required for all new streets (including street extensions)
and alleys. Coordination will be required between the applicant, VDOT and Engineering
for acceptance of new public streets and associated improvements (sidewalks and street
trees).
12. Driveways for Lots 8 and 9: Please note that the City should review the lot access and
improvements for Lots 8 and 9, since driveway access for those lots is currently off -site
and in the City. If the ownership is different than the ownership shown on this plan, an
easement will be needed for the final plan to show access for those lots.
13. Note: Please note the City will need to sign final plats and plans.

cross.
Inspections (Michael Dellinger):
1. Add the following note to the general notes page:
a. Building or structures built before January 1, 1985 must have an asbestos survey
performed in order to apply for a permit. Asbestos removal permits are required
if positive for such. Contact VDOLI for additional requirements and permits for
demolition projects.

a. ALL water lines, sewer lines, and fire lines from the main to the structure MUST
have a visual inspection performed by the building department.

by the NFPA, underground propane tanks may be prohibited. Plan accordingly.

1. Cul-de-sac must be 96' diameter to provide for emergency apparatus access turn
around.
2. Both of the streets designated private alley must be marked No Parking.
3. A hydrant should be provided on the connecting private alley due to spacing and due to
serving this development from a hydrant on Rio Road that will require shutting down
traffic during use.

1. The applicant should contact this office with a list of three (3) proposed road names for
each alley way shown on the plans for approval.
Preliminary Plat Comments:
Required Prior to Final Plat Approval:
Planning (Tori Kanellopoulos):
1. [14-422(C)] and [14-428] Sidewalks: It appears that the sidewalk in front of Lots 13-18 is
outside of the ROW and is labeled to be maintained privately, however the street is a
public street. Sidewalks for public streets are required to be in the ROW. Please see
setback note as well, as this affects where setbacks are measured from.
2. [14-411] and [14-428] Public street standards and dedication: All proposed public street
extensions will need to meet VDOT standards. Please clarify that both the extension of
Pen Park Lane and Lochlyn Hill Drive are to be public.
3. [14-303(A)] Statement of consent to division: Include the statement of consent to
division on the final plat.
4. [14-303(E)] Street, alley and easement measurements: Include all linear, angular and
curvilinear data for all streets, alleys and easements on the final plat.
5. [14-303(T)] Special lots: Include the special lots note for the open space lots.
6. [14-312] Nearby buildings: Show all existing buildings within 50 feet of any parcels
included in this development.
7. [14-302(A)(13)]; [14-417]; [14-305]; and [14-431] Stormwater management facilities:
Include full information on required SWM facilities for the final plat. SWM facilities
appear to be off -site and located in the City of Charlottesville. An approved WPO will be
required. It appears previous approval for Phase 1 may have required coordination with
DCR.
