From: Mariah Gleason
Division: Community Development — Planning
Date: October 18, 2019
Subject: SUB201900135 Hyland Park Subdivision, Phase II - Final
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plat referenced above once the following
comments, and those provided by other Site Review Committee, SRC, members, 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.]
[14-302(B)(5), ZMA2004-18, ZMA2011-01, ZMA2019-07 (under review)] Proffers.
a. Revise Note 16 to quote the first paragraph of Proffer #4:
"Proffer #4. Trees: At least one hundred -seventy (170) tress shall be planted or retained on the subdivided
lots. Tres shall be distributed among all lots with a minimum of S trees per lot. The five trees to be counted on
each lot shall be marked in the field for inspection purposes. The owner shall not request a certificate of
occupancy until a final zoning inspection is performed and all required trees are in place... "
b. Revise Note 17 to quote Proffer #5 in its entirety:
"Proffer #5. Pedestrian Paths: Pedestrian paths shown on the Plan shall be constructed according to the
standards for Class A Type I pedestrian paths in the Albemarle County Design Standards Manual. The owner
shall not request that the County issue the ninth (9th) building permit until the paths have been completed to
the satisfaction of the County Engineer. "
c. Revise Note 18 to quote Proffer #9 in its entirety:
"Proffer #9. Architectural Standards: The owner shall require as part of the covenants for Fontana Phase 4C
that all structures be constructed using medium shaded earth -tone colors for facade treatment of the buildings
and dark, non -reflective materials for roofs. The colors for the facade treatments and the colors and materials
for the roofs shall be subject to prior approval by the Director of Planning. "
d. Remove Note 19. This is not a proffer -related requirement. It is a requirement of the zoning district and,
therefore, should be moved to the setback notes (see review comment #7, below).
e. Please be aware that ZMA2019-07, which seeks to amend several proffers, is currently under review by the
County. If approved, some of these updates may require the plat to be amended, as they will alter requirements
of the physical development of the site. If possible, staff recommends waiting until review of ZMA2019-07 is
complete before finalizing the subdivision plat. This will avoid needing to amend the plat afterwards and pay
another review fee.
2. [14-302(A)(4-5), ZMA2004-18, ZMA2011-01] Trail easements. Include proposed pedestrian paths on the plat in
accordance with previously approved zoning map amendments for this property (e.g. ZMA2004-18 and ZMA2011-01).
Please reference SUB2017-102 Hyland Park Final Road & Utility Plan for the approved placement of the pedestrian paths
on Open Spaces C, D, and E as well as Lots 25 and 26. (Note: In accordance with ZMA2004-18, pedestrian path areas must
be at least 1 Oft wide.)
3. [ 14-401 ] Double frontage lots. Double frontage lots for single-family detached residential uses are prohibited. Currently,
there are two double frontage lots: Lots 33 and 34. Either redesign these lots to have a minimum of twenty (20) feet of
common area between the rear of the lot and the second street or an exception under 14-203.1(B) is needed prior to final plat
approval. (Note: In accordance with 14-419, double frontage lots must be screened according to the requirements of Sec 18-
32.7.9.7. Screening requirements can be varied or excepted as provided in Sec. 14-203.1.)
4. [14-303(E), 14-302(A)(8)] Dimensions of proposed lots. Provide bearing and distance measurements along the side lot lines
for Lots 20-23.
5. [14-302(B)(5)] Zoning. Revise Note 5 to state "...preserved and managed steer slope overlays..." to align with the name of
the regulatory overlay.
6. [Advisory Comment] Staff recommends revising Note 6. This note should serve to limit each new residential lot to one
dwelling unit, not the entire subject property to one dwelling unit, as the current wording of the note may imply.
7. [ 14-302(B)(8)] Yards. Revise Note 15 to align with the zoning regulations for non-infill development in the R4 zoning
district, specifically:
a. Side: 5ft minimum; no maximum
b. Building separation: loft (Note: Please make this a separate line item)
c. Building Height: 35ft maximum
8. [14-303(G)] Ownership of common areas. Add pedestrian paths to Note 14, unless these paths will be dedicated to the
public.
9. [14-303(S)] Control points. Provide at least four (4) control points, evenly distributed across the property and located at
survey property corners.
10. [14-302(A)(2)] Vicinity map. Please provide a higher contrast or higher quality image for the vicinity map. Currently,
roadways are not distinguishable from parcel land areas.
11. [14-317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. Prior to final plat approval an instrument evidencing
maintenance of storm and surface water drainage measures, open space, tree plantings associated with Proffer #4, street
trees, and pedestrian paths will need to be approved by the County Attorney. Submit the draft documents to Planning staff
for a cursory review and then I will forward them to the County Attorney for review/approval.

15. V4 — Call out easement adjacent to Open Space D is as a water easement rather than sewer. Referencing the same
easement, ACSA requests an additional 10 feet on one side (with note that the easement will be 10 feet on the
Northern and 20 feet on the Southern from as -built location) due to topography and anchors.
