From: Andy Reitelbach, Senior Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: August 15, 2019
Subject: SDP2018-00069 — Old Trail Village Block 32 — Final Site Plan; 3' Review
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department of Community Development will
recommend approval of the plan 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.]
1. [General Comment] Remove the crossed -out sheets from the index. As they are not in this plan, they do not need to be
in the index.
2. [General Comment] Revise the title of the plan to SDP2018-00069. In addition, on sheet 4, the note about referring to
Block 32 final subdivision, the reference should be to SUB2019-00023 and only phase 1.
3. [General Comment] The notes on the cover sheet regarding the road plans can be removed, since this is not a road plan,
and the road plan for this development has already been approved. However, retain a note indicating the other plans and
plats associated with this final site plan.
4. [General Comment] The details of the lots with attached units must be shown on the site plan sheets, including
driveways, setbacks, landscaping, etc., as the attached units are the ones approved with a site plan. The buildings shown
on the grading and utility plans for the attached units, both townhouses and duplexes, should also be included in the site
plan sheets. Ensure setbacks are labelled for these structures and label the garages. Also, provide dimensions for the
driveways and the garages, since they are proposed to be used for parking requirements. The garages and the driveways
must meet the parking spaces dimensions of 9' by 18' per space, and there cannot be an overhang onto right-of-way for
these areas if they are to be counted for the required parking spaces. Parking pads must be built so that there is no
overhang of cars onto the sidewalks and other portions of the right-of-way. See pages 8-10 of the COD for parking and
garage requirements.
[General Comment] There is a discrepancy in the number of proposed units. The table on sheet 2 displays a different
number of proposed units from that shown on the cover sheet.
6. [32.5.2(n); COD] The parking schedule on the cover sheet indicates that there are four (4) parking spaces proposed for
each SFA home. Please indicate where these spaces are proposed on the plan. (See comment #4 above.) Also, the cover
sheet states there are four spaces per SFA home, which would make sense if there are two per garage and two per
driveway. However, the calculations for the totals for SFA homes is only multiplied by two rather than four. Please also
be advised that driveways must be deep enough so that automobiles parked in them do not hang over the sidewalk and
other parts of the right-of-way.
7. [Code of Development (COD)] Include how the green space included in the area summary table on sheet 2 relates to
the requirements of proffer #1 in the Proffer Statement approved with ZMA2015-00001, for overall green space in the
Old Trail development.
8. [General Comment] The table on sheet 2 has a different number of proposed units than what is stated on the cover
sheet. Please revise. In addition, the designated affordable units will need to be identified on the plan. There were no
affordable units included in Phase 1, so all the affordable units must be in the Phase 2 lots.
9. [General Comment] Include the deed book and page numbers for the plat and deeds that were recorded for Phase 1,
including labelling the utility easements, stormwater easements, and open space properties on this plan.
10. [ZMA201500001, COD] Include a note on the cover sheet that identifies the special exception approved by the Board
in March 2019 allowing for the reduction in the stream buffer requirements.
11. [General Comment] Please label the open space areas along the streams at the boundaries of Block 32, including their
area that was approved with SUB2019-00023.
12. [General Comment] Please indicate where the proposed emergency fire access road will go. Provide an inset map
indicating its final connection through the golf course, presumably with Route 250. An easement will be required at the
subdivision stage for this fire access way.
13. [General Comment] There is a trail shown on the existing conditions sheets along the waterways; however, this trail is
not shown on the proposed plan sheets. Is this trail being retained in the development of this block, or is it being removed?
Please clarify.
14. [32.5.2(c)] For the single-family attached homes, both townhouses and duplexes, the structures and driveways should be
shown on the site plan sheets to ensure setbacks, parking, and other requirements can be met and there is a calculable
total for impervious surface. Provide the impervious surfaces for these areas on the cover sheet. The single-family
detached lots are not required to be included at this time in the impervious calculations because they are not reviewed
with this site plan, and are instead reviewed at the time of subdivision and individual home construction.
15. [32.7.9] Ensure the landscaping plan and the planting schedule match what is shown on the road plan.
16. [32.7.91 For the tree saving bonus of the landscape plan, a conservation checklist is required to be completed and
submitted. The Albemarle County Conservation Plan Checklist and Chapter 3.38 of the Virginia Erosion and Sediment
Control handbook. The Conservation Plan Checklist will need to be signed by the owners and provided as an exhibit on
the final site plan.
17. [32.5.2(k)] Please show the location of all sewer, utility, and drainage easements. Label as "proposed" with a size/width
measurement for those not yet recorded, or provide the deed book and page numbers for those recorded with Phase 1.
18. [32.2] Site plans are not required for single family detached homes. The initial approval of this site plan is for the attached
units only. A preliminary subdivision plat that requires Site Review will be required for the single family detached
units/lots. See end of this email for comments that related to the single family detached lots. Please note, a full subdivision
review has not been completed, and therefore additional comments will be provided during that review. Please note that
a final subdivision plat will be required for the single-family detached houses, at which time a full review of those lots
will occur. A full subdivision review has not occurred at this time, and additional comments may be provided during the
review of the subdivision plat regarding the requirements of single-family lots. Site plans for single-family houses are
reviewed at the time of application for building permits for those houses.
Comments related to Bishopgate Place, the proposed private street:
1. [14-234] A private street request is required for Bishopgate Place as there are lots taking access from this road and it is
not strictly for emergency access. Private streets must meet the criteria for approval in 14-234(C)(4), and please see 14-
234 for requirements, justification, and findings that are necessary. If the request is made outside of a subdivision
application, a fee is required.
2. [COD] Planting strips and sidewalks need to be provided on both sides of Bishopgate Lane Extended, unless a variation
or exception is requested and approved.
3. [32.7.91 In the landscape plan, there must be street trees and planting strips along both sides of Bishopgate Place. A
variation will be required to be submitted at the time of the private street request.
4. [14-234] Bishopgate Place is shown as private, and will need to have a private street request, as there are lots with frontage
on this street. If this request is made outside of a subdivision application, a fee is required.
5. [14-234] Sidewalks and planting strips, including street trees, will be required for both sides of Bishopgate Place, as this is
proposed as a private street with lots having frontage on the street. Otherwise, an exception will be required to be granted.
6. [14-234] A variation from the application plan is also required, as sheet 4 of the application plan shows the street section with
the planting strip and sidewalk locations, which you will need to vary. See below for the findings that staff will need to make
with this request. The fee for this request is $457. Application can be found here. A variation from the application plan will
also be required if sidewalks and planting strips are not provided along Bishopgate Place, as shown in the street cross -sections
of the approved application plan.

Subject: Old Trail Village -Block 32 - FSP (SDP201800069)
The final site plan for Old Trail Block 32 has been reviewed by Engineering. The following comments will
need to be addressed before approval:
1. WPO Plan must be approved before final site plan can be approved. Rev. 1:
WP020180077 has been approved.
2. Road Plan must be approved before final site plan can be approved. Rev. 1:
SUB201800164 must be approved before FSP can be approved. Rev. 2: Comment
addressed.
3. VDOT approval and entrance permits are necessary before plan approval. Rev. 1:
Comment still valid. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
4. Remove road profiles and details. They should be shown on the road plan application.
Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Road profiles and details should be on the road
plan application. There is no way to verify if they match. Also the road plan is not
approved yet. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
5. Per the stormwater management section of the Code of Development, residential lots shall
not be permitted within stream buffers. Please remove lots from stream buffers. Rev. 1:
Please reference the date of the variation approval on the plans (march 6, 2019).
Also, reference the master mitigation plan. It was engineering's understanding that
the buffer was changed to 75' and removed out of the lots. It should be shown this
way. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
6. Provide approved floodplain development permit. Rev. 1: FDP201800018 is
administratively approved. Is there a CLOMR or LOMR? Rev. 2: Comment
addressed.
7. Ensure floodplain and stream buffer are clearly shown on all sheets. Rev. 1: Comment
addressed.
8. Provide a reference note with the title and approval date of the preserved slopes exhibit.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
9. Grading should be kept at 3:1 wherever possible. However, ensure that no grades are
steeper than 2: 1. Rev. 1: Please revise note. The County does not recommend crown
vetch. Steep slope grass seed or other vegetation that can withstand steep slopes is
sufficient. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
10. The only allowed disturbance to the stream buffer as shown in the ZMA is located at the
Engineering Review Comments

entrance along Old Trail Drive and the connection/fire rescue road. Rev. 1: Please
reference the approved master mitigation plan and the WPO Plan for any buffer
disturbance. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
11. Provide the tree conservation checklist:
http://www.albemarle.org/upload/images/forms center/departments/Community_ Develop
ment/forms/applications/Conservation_ Plan_Checklist.pdf Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
12. Clearly show all parking spaces, including garages. Sidewalk area cannot count as parking
area. Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Only a few garages were shown on sheet 13.
Rev. 2: There does not appear to be 18' behind back of walk for all units (each lot
was not checked, but 92 is an example).
13. There is clearing & grading shown offsite. Please provide permission to perform this land
disturbance.Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
14. Provide match line at western end of site. The limits of this work area unclear. Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
15. Contours should not be shown going through houses. Slopes between houses should not
be steeper than 3:1. Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Rev 2: Comment addressed.
16. Biolfilters should not be labeled as "future". They should match the WPO Plan. Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
17. Check that all storm drain profiles match calculations. Example: profile from 3A to 3
shows 13% while calculations show 14.83%. Rev. 1: Ensure all calculations match the
plan. For example, inlets 8B and 9B DA in the inlet comps do not appear to match
the plan sheet. Rev. 2: Check inlet comps. DOT summary appears correct.
18. Maximum allowable velocity in storm drains is 15ft/s. Please revise. Rev. 1: Comment
addressed.
19. Recommend tree save areas to be outside of lot lines. Ensure tree save areas match up with
tree protection in all WPO plans (overlot grading and VSMP). Rev. 1: Comment not
addressed. Show TP fencing from WPO Plan or remove tree save area from lots. It
is going to be in an easement? Rev. 2: How will tree save area be enforced? How will
homeowners know this is on their lot?
20. Rev. 1: [Sheet 101 What is the Block 32 offsite water extension plan? Please reference
the plan #. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
