[Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.] 1. [14-302(B)(6), 14-303(A), 14-302(A)(15)] Tax Map and Parcel references. Due to a recently approved subdivision for this development, the parcel name of the subject property has been changed. Please review and revise all application materials to refer to this property as TMP 61-160R6.

Relatedly, please list the most recent instrument which created the subject property, TMP 61-160R6, previously TMP 61-160. [ 14-302] Preliminary Plat. Update the Preliminary Plat Exhibit to include the following. a. [14-302(B)(5)] Zoning. The Preliminary Plat Exhibit should: i. Specify, in the notes, the setbacks for the NMD and R4 zoned areas. ii. Graphically demonstrate the setbacks on the plat map. (Note: In reading through the side setback regulation notes for the NMD zoned lots, the side setback states: "Where a site setback of less than 4'l1 " is used, a 6' maintenance easement shall be recorded on all properties adjacent to the side setback of less than 4'11".) b. [ 14-3 02(B)(5)] Variation Notes. Please confirm that all approved variations for this development are captured in the zoning notes. c. [14-302(A)(12)] Topography. Revise the topography information to include contour labels throughout. Labels are currently provided on what will be the residue portion of the property, however, proposed lot areas do not have labelled contours. d. [14-302(B)] Scale. Provide a scale bar and text. e. [14-302(B)] Orientation. Staff suggests using the same orientation on the Preliminary Plat Exhibit as was used in the Final Plat packet. 4. [ZMA200400007] Area Summary Tables for Density. Remove information regarding area summaries and densities from the Preliminary Plat and, instead, provide this information as part of the Final Plat package. [14-302(B)(8)] Yards. Review and revise the following. a. Regarding the setbacks given in Note 10: i. List all and only the building setback regulations for Townhouses as provided in Table 9 of the Belvedere Code of Development, last revised 7/22/14. b. Regarding the setbacks given in Note 11: i. Front = 5' minimum, 25' maximum (minimum and maximum being measured from the R/W or the exterior edge of the sidewalk if the sidewalk is outside the R/W) ii. Side = 5' minimum, unless the building shares a common wall as provided in Sec. 4.19 (10' building separation) 6. [ZMA200400007] Summary Table for NMD Zoned Area. Review and revise the following. a. It appears the table totals are not adding correctly, horizontally or vertically. Ensure this issue is resolved in future submissions. b. Many headings within the table are currently illegible. Please adjust so that each heading is legible. For example, "Table 1 Maximum Residential Densities". c. Density minimums and maximums provided in the NMD Summary Table do not appear to be accurate. Staff will provide follow up comments in the form of an exhibit to the applicant to address these concerns. (Note: If staff continues to find discrepancies in the table after such point, staff may require the applicant to provide table footnotes referencing Variations associated with each change to the approved ZMA200400007, per 14-302(B)(5).) d. Provide a title for this table. [2.2.3, 4.7, 14-302(B)(5)] Area Summary Calculations for R4 Zoned Area. Review and revise the following. a. Staff was unable to confirm that the size of the "Total Area of Lots in R4 Zone". The plat currently lists this area as 4.047 acres, however previously approved Phase IVA-1 (SUB201800117) lists this area as 1.770ac and Phase IVA-2 (this application) lists this area as 0.284ac, thus the total acreage should be 2.054ac (1.770ac + 0.284ac). Is there another area that is being included in these calculations? b. If corrections are made to the total lot acreage, per the previous comment, please update the total acreage accordingly. c. Staff could not verify the total lot count provided. Phase IVA-1 provided 21 lots and Phase IVA-2, as proposed, adds an additional 3 lots, thus the total lot count should be 24 (21+3). Please also remove the parenthetical (Phase IVA-1 Only) from this line item on the plat, as this is incorrect. d. Review and revise the calculation for "R4 Area Density" and provide the math to demonstrate how this metric was obtained. e. Review and revise the calculation for "R4 Open Space Percentage" and provide the math to demonstrate how this metric was obtained. f. Note on the plat that this development is required to provide a minimum of 25% open space, as specified in Section 2.2.3 and Section 4.7 of the Zoning Ordinance. 8. [14-302(A)(9)] Building Sites Note. Notes 5 and 9 are redundant. Remove Note 9, as Note 5 is more aligned with/reflective of the content of this application request. 9. [14-302(A)(8)] Carriage Houses. Are carriage houses anticipated on these townhouse lots? If not, remove Note 16. 10. [14-302(A)(4)] Private easements. Provide the deed book and page number for the private storm drain easement shown on Sheet V4. 11. [ 14-303(C)] Curve Table. The Curve Table on Sheet V 1 does not appear to match the total lengths indicated on the plat sheets. Please review and revise, particularly for Curve CL 12. [14-303(H)] Control Point Label. Adjust the control point label in the top right corner of Sheet V4 so it does not conflict with the north arrow provided. 13. [14-302(A)(2)] Vicinity map. The map provided is not clear enough to distinguish where the site is located. Please provide a higher resolution image and also demonstrate where this phase is located in relation to the larger Belvedere development. 14. [14-302(B)(1)] Resubmission. Reminder that revised plats must include the original date of drawing as well as a date of last revision. 15. [14-317] Declarations.
