Department of Community Development
Regarding: SDP 2016-0007 Inglewood Terrace
Request for Private Street Authorization
Request for Waiver of Street Standards
Dear Mr. Perez,
The Albemarle County Subdivision Ordinance allows the commission and/or agent to waive certain
road/street requirements that will permit creative design alternatives that would "...accomplish county goals,
policies, good planning practice and good engineering practice."
We therefore request the following:
1) In accordance with Section 14-225.1, the Applicant requests a waiver, for Inglewood Terrace Road
as shown on the Inglewood Terrace Site Plan, of Section 14-410(H)
'Curb,curb and gutter,sidewalks and planting strips. In the development areas,streets shall be constructed
with curb or curb and gutter,sidewalks and planting strips. Sidewalks and planting strips shall design and
constructed in compliance with section 14-422."
The Applicant would like to waive the requirement for a sidewalk on the east side of Inglewood
Terrace Road as shown on the Application Plan. A continuous sidewalk and landscape strip shall be
provided on the west side of the road. Providing a sidewalk on the east side of the road has no added
benefit to the public since there are no houses on the east side. Furthermore, the applicant believes
that providing extra screening in place of a sidewalk will be in greater benefit to the new development
and the surrounding neighborhood.
2) In accordance with Section 14-225.1, the Applicant requests a waiver, for Inglewood Terrace Road
as delineated on the Inglewood Terrace Site Plan, of Section 14-422(A)"
"Requirement. Sidewalks and planting strips for street trees and other vegetation shall be established on both
sides of each new street within a subdivision creating lots for single family detached and single family attached
dwellings in the development areas."
Please see paragraph 1 above for justification of this requirement.
