Hi Barry,
I apologize for the delay in my response to your email from earlier this week. Yes,
Shimp Engineering forwarded me the updated materials I requested in that first
review comment. Everything looks good from a Planning standpoint and I have
finished my review of the request for private street authorization. We will be
recommending approval of the request. However, the Fire & Rescue Division has
not sent me their approval yet, and I need to confirm that they have no objections
before finalizing my recommendation and staff report. I have been trying to reach
their staff member who is reviewing the request all week, but I believe he is out of
the office. Hopefully he will give me the ok on Monday, I'll keep you posted.
Assuming Fire & Rescue have no objections, the authorization request will go to the
Planning Commission as a consent agenda item. Typically items on the consent
agenda are approved without any comments from the PC members, so I don't
anticipate any issues with this. I am working with my administrative assistant to
confirm a date for the PC meeting. Right now, it looks like it could go to the PC on
Tuesday, June 26th. Are you available to attend the meeting that evening in case
the PC has any questions? Justin could also come with you or attend in your place if
you're not available.
Let me know about June 26t". Have a great weekend,

Hi Cameron,
I wanted to check in again and level set on the SUB201700181 application and
private street authorization. Have you gotten what you needed from Shimp in
regard to #2?
Shimp stated to me about three weeks ago that he was having a hard time getting
schedule information out of the county and made no reference to any requests by
you all in regard to the authorization process. Have you all scheduled the PC hearing
or is there something holding that up?
Thanks!

Hi Barry,
I apologize for the delay in my response.
The process for moving forward is this:
1. Staff from the County and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)
will continue to review the private street authorization request and issue
comments on items with the proposal that need to be revised in order for us to
make a favorable recommendation to the Planning Commission (PC) to approve
the request.
a. Generally, comments include things like adding or removing
notes from the exhibits, or revising the justification statement.
2. The Engineering Division of the Department of Community Development has
reviewed the authorization request, and has no objections. I have finished my
review for the Planning Division aspects of the request, and I had one comment
which I emailed to Justin Shimp on Tuesday, 4/24. 1 asked for Justin to provide a
revised private street exhibit drawing that shows how much linear frontage two of
the proposed lots will have on the private street (the Zoning ordinance requires
that each lot must have 150' of road frontage, and the two lots at the end of the
roundabout appeared to have less than that).
a. The authorization request was also sent to the Department of
Fire & Rescue, and VDOT for review. They have not finished their
reviews yet, but I will forward any comments or approvals from
either agency to Justin upon receipt.
3. Once all of review comments have been addressed, Planning Division staff will
schedule a date with the Planning Commission to take the materials to them for a
hearing. I will write a staff report with a recommendation for the PC to either
approve or deny the authorization request. If staff is recommending approval, the
request will be scheduled as a consent agenda item during one of the regular PC
meetings. Items on the consent agenda do not have a full public hearing with
public comment and a staff presentation. The PC typically approves all items on
the consent agenda at the beginning of the meeting without much discussion.
4. If the PC approves the private street authorization request, Shimp Engineering
will need to submit fully engineered road plans to the County for review. The full
road plans are different from the private street authorization request. We will
follow the same review process/procedures as we would normally do for any other
road plan application. Road plans are administrative applications, which means
there are no public hearings required with the PC or Board of Supervisors. Staff
reviews the drawings for conformity with our street standards, and we issue
comment letters to the engineers telling them what needs to be revised in order
for us to approve the road plans.
a. When the road plans are first submitted, we have 30 days to
send the engineer review comments.
b. The overall timeline for road plan approval typically requires 2
or 3 staff reviews, which can take several months, depending on
how fast your engineering firm turns the plans around to address
staff comments.
All in all, I'd say you're looking at a minimum of 4-6 months until the road plans are
approved. The total review and approval timeline could take longer than 4 months,
depending on how many comments staff has during the review of the full road
plans and how long it takes the engineers to revise/resubmit the plans to address
those comments.
Please let me know if this does not answer all of your questions.

Hi Barry,
I apologize for the delay in my response to your email from earlier this week. Yes,
Shimp Engineering forwarded me the updated materials I requested in that first
review comment. Everything looks good from a Planning standpoint and I have
finished my review of the request for private street authorization. We will be
recommending approval of the request. However, the Fire & Rescue Division has not
sent me their approval yet, and I need to confirm that they have no objections
before finalizing my recommendation and staff report. I have been trying to reach
their staff member who is reviewing the request all week, but I believe he is out of
the office. Hopefully he will give me the ok on Monday, I'll keep you posted.
Assuming Fire & Rescue have no objections, the authorization request will go to the
Planning Commission as a consent agenda item. Typically items on the consent
agenda are approved without any comments from the PC members, so I don't
anticipate any issues with this. I am working with my administrative assistant to
confirm a date for the PC meeting. Right now, it looks like it could go to the PC on
Tuesday, June 26th. Are you available to attend the meeting that evening in case the
PC has any questions? Justin could also come with you or attend in your place if
you're not available.
Let me know about June 26th. Have a great weekend,
Cameron

Hi Cameron,
I wanted to check in again and level set on the SUB201700181 application and
private street authorization. Have you gotten what you needed from Shimp in
regard to #2?
Shimp stated to me about three weeks ago that he was having a hard time
getting schedule information out of the county and made no reference to any
requests by you all in regard to the authorization process. Have you all
scheduled the PC hearing or is there something holding that up?
Thanks!

Hi Barry,
I apologize for the delay in my response.
The process for moving forward is this:
1. Staff from the County and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT)
will continue to review the private street authorization request and issue comments
on items with the proposal that need to be revised in order for us to make a
favorable recommendation to the Planning Commission (PC) to approve the
request.
a. Generally, comments include things like adding or removing
notes from the exhibits, or revising the justification statement.
2. The Engineering Division of the Department of Community Development has
reviewed the authorization request, and has no objections. I have finished my
review for the Planning Division aspects of the request, and I had one comment
which I emailed to Justin Shimp on Tuesday, 4/24. 1 asked for Justin to provide a
revised private street exhibit drawing that shows how much linear frontage two of
the proposed lots will have on the private street (the Zoning ordinance requires that
each lot must have 150' of road frontage, and the two lots at the end of the
roundabout appeared to have less than that).
a. The authorization request was also sent to the Department of
Fire & Rescue, and VDOT for review. They have not finished their
reviews yet, but I will forward any comments or approvals from
either agency to Justin upon receipt.
3. Once all of review comments have been addressed, Planning Division staff will
schedule a date with the Planning Commission to take the materials to them for a
hearing. I will write a staff report with a recommendation for the PC to either
approve or deny the authorization request. If staff is recommending approval, the
request will be scheduled as a consent agenda item during one of the regular PC
meetings. Items on the consent agenda do not have a full public hearing with public
comment and a staff presentation. The PC typically approves all items on the
consent agenda at the beginning of the meeting without much discussion.
4. If the PC approves the private street authorization request, Shimp Engineering
will need to submit fully engineered road plans to the County for review. The full
road plans are different from the private street authorization request. We will
follow the same review process/procedures as we would normally do for any other
road plan application. Road plans are administrative applications, which means
there are no public hearings required with the PC or Board of Supervisors. Staff
reviews the drawings for conformity with our street standards, and we issue
comment letters to the engineers telling them what needs to be revised in order for
us to approve the road plans.
a. When the road plans are first submitted, we have 30 days to
send the engineer review comments.
b. The overall timeline for road plan approval typically requires 2
or 3 staff reviews, which can take several months, depending on
how fast your engineering firm turns the plans around to address
staff comments.
All in all, I'd say you're looking at a minimum of 4-6 months until the road plans are
approved. The total review and approval timeline could take longer than 4 months,
depending on how many comments staff has during the review of the full road
plans and how long it takes the engineers to revise/resubmit the plans to address
those comments.
Please let me know if this does not answer all of your questions.

I appreciate the update and have a couple of questions. You mentioned review

I have a private street authorization request associated with a subdivision application that needs to get

to have less than that).
a. The authorization request was also sent to the Department of Fire & Rescue,
and VDOT for review. They have not finished their reviews yet, but I will forward
any comments or approvals from either agency to Justin upon receipt.
3. Once all of review comments have been addressed, Planning Division staff will schedule a date
with the Planning Commission to take the materials to them for a hearing. I will write a staff report
with a recommendation for the PC to either approve or deny the authorization request. If staff is
recommending approval, the request will be scheduled as a consent agenda item during one of the
regular PC meetings. Items on the consent agenda do not have a full public hearing with public
comment and a staff presentation. The PC typically approves all items on the consent agenda at the
beginning of the meeting without much discussion.
4. If the PC approves the private street authorization request, Shimp Engineering will need to
submit fully engineered road plans to the County for review. The full road plans are different from
the private street authorization request. We will follow the same review process/procedures as we
would normally do for any other road plan application. Road plans are administrative applications,
which means there are no public hearings required with the PC or Board of Supervisors. Staff
reviews the drawings for conformity with our street standards, and we issue comment letters to the
engineers telling them what needs to be revised in order for us to approve the road plans.
a. When the road plans are first submitted, we have 30 days to send the engineer
review comments.
b. The overall timeline for road plan approval typically requires 2 or 3 staff
reviews, which can take several months, depending on how fast your engineering
firm turns the plans around to address staff comments.
All in all, I'd say you're looking at a minimum of 4-6 months until the road plans are approved. The
total review and approval timeline could take longer than 4 months, depending on how many
comments staff has during the review of the full road plans and how long it takes the engineers to
revise/resubmit the plans to address those comments.
Please let me know if this does not answer all of your questions.

Hi Cameron,
Thanks for the call back and the voice message in response to my inquiry regarding the Request for
Authorization of a Private Road in conjunction with St. Francis Avenue Subdivision SUB201700181.
I appreciate the update and have a couple of questions. You mentioned review comments were due

Hi Stephanie,
I know you were busy catching up on things today, but I just wanted to make sure this email went
through to you on Friday. I didn't get a bounce back or anything, but one of my site plan applicants told
they never received an email I sent on Friday afternoon. Since I hadn't heard back from you yet

Hi Stephanie,
I have a private street authorization request associated with a subdivision application that needs to get
PC approval. Staff is supporting the request, so this will be a consent agenda item. Can you let me know
some tentative dates to take this to the PC? I am wondering if it could go on June 26t" if possible.
The private street authorization request came in as part of the road plan application for the subdivision
plat. The road plan application number is SUB201800066 St. Francis Avenue Subdivision — Road Plans.

I just tried calling but you must be gone for the day. Knowing the information I mentioned below, are
you comfortable with me stating that Fire & Rescue has no objections to the general layout of the road
in my staff report to the PC for the private street authoritization request?
Again, we will get the full civil engineering road plans after the PC approves the private street

Shawn,
No worries, I figured you were out of town. In regard to the 20' clear width, I want to make sure I
understand what you're saying. The private road exhibit shows a 30' wide private street
easement. Within the easement is a 14' wide paved street, which leaves 8' additional feet on both sides
of the actual road improvements. Does 20' clear width mean that Fire & Rescue wants an additional 10'
on both sides of the street outside of the paved portion?
Under the County Subdivision ordinance, Section 14-412 (A)(2)(a), private streets in the rural areas
serving three to five lots must meet the following minimum standards:
• A minimum travel way width of 14.'
• A 3' minimum shoulder width
• A minimum of 4' from the edge of the shoulder to the drainage ditch centerline
• Furthermore, "the street shall have a rectangular zone superjacent to the street that is clear of
all obstructions, including any structures and vegetation, that is at least fourteen (14) feet in
width and fourteen (14) feet in height."
The private street exhibit appears to meet this criteria. The 8' area adjacent to the paved road will allow
all of those requirements to be met on both side of the street. Since this road will serve at least three
lots, it will need to be designed to meet all of the minimum standards listed above for the full length of
the street. They won't be able to do all of the improvements up to a certain point and then neck the
road down to a lower standard than what is required by Section 14-412 (A)(2)(a).
The applicant will still have to submit a full set of civil engineering drawings to us after the private street
approval request goes to the PC, and that is the time when Engineering/Fire & Rescue/Planning really
drills down to the details and makes sure those subdivision regulations are met prior to allowing
construction of the road.
All of that being said, let me know what you think and if I am understanding the Fire & Rescue
requirements correctly. Thanks for all of your help!

Good afternoon Cameron — I apologize for the delay, I've been out of town. I must have completely
missed this one along the way as I couldn't find my comments anywhere. My only concern is that the
street has the 20' of clear width, especially since it serves more than three structures. I know we've
recently had a few of these where they improved the road up to the first, or second, driveway and then
the width changes since it is serving less than three. If it's too late for comment I understand but I can
only see a 30' driveway easement shown and not the actual road width.

Shawn,
Thanks for letting me know. Attached is the transmittal sheet for your review, I explain what exactly
Fire/Rescue needs to look for when reviewing this request. This is just a request for authorization of the
private street — they will come in with a full set of road plans later. The Planning Commission has to
approve the private street request because this subdivision is located in the rural areas, not the
development areas, and subdivision proposing more than 2 lots on a new private street must get PC
approval according to the Subdivision Ordinance (Chapter 14 of the County Code).
I have also attached the applicant's justification statement that includes two potential road layout
exhibits. One exhibit is the alignment of what a public road would look like, and the other is the
proposed private street design that they want us to approve. The proposed private street design is the
last page in the PDF document attached above.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi Shawn,
I placed a small packet of plans and letters in the Interoffice mailbox downstairs here at CDD that is
addressed to you in regard to this application.
This is a private street authorization request for a new private street that will serve five proposed lots in
the St. Francis Avenue subdivision. The St. Francis Avenue subdivision has already gone to the SRC and
obtained preliminary plat approval (SUB201700181). However, they need to get Planning Commission
approval for the private street that will provide access and frontage for the new lots. The
SUB201800066 application listed in the subject line of this email is the actual private street
authorization request for that street. The applicant will come in later with full road plans if the
Commission approves the private street authorization request.
I sent a copy of the request to you just to see if Fire & Rescue has any objections to the proposed street
layout in terms of emergency access, turnarounds, etc. If you could send me any
comments/objections/approvals by April 25t", I'd greatly appreciate it. I have already entered you as a
reviewer in Countyview.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

The process for moving forward is this:
1. Staff from the County and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will continue to
review the private street authorization request and issue comments on items with the proposal that
need to be revised in order for us to make a favorable recommendation to the Planning Commission
(PC) to approve the request.
a. Generally, comments include things like adding or removing notes from the
exhibits, or revising the justification statement.
2. The Engineering Division of the Department of Community Development has reviewed the
authorization request, and has no objections. I have finished my review for the Planning Division
aspects of the request, and I had one comment which I emailed to Justin Shimp on Tuesday, 4/24. 1
asked for Justin to provide a revised private street exhibit drawing that shows how much linear
frontage two of the proposed lots will have on the private street (the Zoning ordinance requires that
each lot must have 150' of road frontage, and the two lots at the end of the roundabout appeared to
have less than that).

Shawn,
No worries, I figured you were out of town. In regard to the 20' clear width, I want to make sure I
understand what you're saying. The private road exhibit shows a 30' wide private street
easement. Within the easement is a 14' wide paved street, which leaves 8' additional feet on both sides
of the actual road improvements. Does 20' clear width mean that Fire & Rescue wants an additional 10'
on both sides of the street outside of the paved portion?
Under the County Subdivision ordinance, Section 14-412 (A)(2)(a), private streets in the rural areas
serving three to five lots must meet the following minimum standards:
• A minimum travel way width of 14.'
• A 3' minimum shoulder width
• A minimum of 4' from the edge of the shoulder to the drainage ditch centerline
• Furthermore, "the street shall have a rectangular zone superjacent to the street that is clear of
all obstructions, including any structures and vegetation, that is at least fourteen (14) feet in
width and fourteen (14) feet in height."
The private street exhibit appears to meet this criteria. The 8' area adjacent to the paved road will allow
all of those requirements to be met on both side of the street. Since this road will serve at least three
lots, it will need to be designed to meet all of the minimum standards listed above for the full length of
the street. They won't be able to do all of the improvements up to a certain point and then neck the
road down to a lower standard than what is required by Section 14-412 (A)(2)(a).
The applicant will still have to submit a full set of civil engineering drawings to us after the private street
approval request goes to the PC, and that is the time when Engineering/Fire & Rescue/Planning really
drills down to the details and makes sure those subdivision regulations are met prior to allowing
construction of the road.
All of that being said, let me know what you think and if I am understanding the Fire & Rescue

Thanks for letting me know. Attached is the transmittal sheet for your review, I explain what exactly
Fire/Rescue needs to look for when reviewing this request. This is just a request for authorization of the
private street — they will come in with a full set of road plans later. The Planning Commission has to
approve the private street request because this subdivision is located in the rural areas, not the
development areas, and subdivision proposing more than 2 lots on a new private street must get PC
approval according to the Subdivision Ordinance (Chapter 14 of the County Code).
I have also attached the applicant's justification statement that includes two potential road layout
exhibits. One exhibit is the alignment of what a public road would look like, and the other is the
proposed private street design that they want us to approve. The proposed private street design is the
last page in the PDF document attached above.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi Shawn,
I placed a small packet of plans and letters in the Interoffice mailbox downstairs here at CDD that is
addressed to you in regard to this application.
This is a private street authorization request for a new private street that will serve five proposed lots in
the St. Francis Avenue subdivision. The St. Francis Avenue subdivision has already gone to the SRC and
obtained preliminary plat approval (SUB201700181). However, they need to get Planning Commission
approval for the private street that will provide access and frontage for the new lots. The
SUB201800066 application listed in the subject line of this email is the actual private street
authorization request for that street. The applicant will come in later with full road plans if the
Commission approves the private street authorization request.
I sent a copy of the request to you just to see if Fire & Rescue has any objections to the proposed street
layout in terms of emergency access, turnarounds, etc. If you could send me any
comments/objections/approvals by April 25t", I'd greatly appreciate it. I have already entered you as a
reviewer in Countyview.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Barry,
I apologize for the delay in my response to your email from earlier this week. Yes, Shimp Engineering
forwarded me the updated materials I requested in that first review comment. Everything looks good
from a Planning standpoint and I have finished my review of the request for private street
authorization. We will be recommending approval of the request. However, the Fire & Rescue Division
has not sent me their approval yet, and I need to confirm that they have no objections before finalizing
my recommendation and staff report. I have been trying to reach their staff member who is reviewing
the request all week, but I believe he is out of the office. Hopefully he will give me the ok on Monday,
I'll keep you posted.
Assuming Fire & Rescue have no objections, the authorization request will go to the Planning
Commission as a consent agenda item. Typically items on the consent agenda are approved without
any comments from the PC members, so I don't anticipate any issues with this. I am working with my
administrative assistant to confirm a date for the PC meeting. Right now, it looks like it could go to the
PC on Tuesday, June 26th. Are you available to attend the meeting that evening in case the PC has any
questions? Justin could also come with you or attend in your place if you're not available.
Let me know about June 26t". Have a great weekend,

Hi Barry,
I apologize for the delay in my response.
The process for moving forward is this:
1. Staff from the County and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will continue to
review the private street authorization request and issue comments on items with the proposal that
need to be revised in order for us to make a favorable recommendation to the Planning Commission
(PC) to approve the request.
a. Generally, comments include things like adding or removing notes from the
exhibits, or revising the justification statement.
2. The Engineering Division of the Department of Community Development has reviewed the
authorization request, and has no objections. I have finished my review for the Planning Division
aspects of the request, and I had one comment which I emailed to Justin Shimp on Tuesday, 4/24. 1
asked for Justin to provide a revised private street exhibit drawing that shows how much linear
frontage two of the proposed lots will have on the private street (the Zoning ordinance requires that
each lot must have 150' of road frontage, and the two lots at the end of the roundabout appeared to
have less than that).
a. The authorization request was also sent to the Department of Fire & Rescue, and
VDOT for review. They have not finished their reviews yet, but I will forward any
comments or approvals from either agency to Justin upon receipt.
3. Once all of review comments have been addressed, Planning Division staff will schedule a date
with the Planning Commission to take the materials to them for a hearing. I will write a staff report
with a recommendation for the PC to either approve or deny the authorization request. If staff is
recommending approval, the request will be scheduled as a consent agenda item during one of the
regular PC meetings. Items on the consent agenda do not have a full public hearing with public
comment and a staff presentation. The PC typically approves all items on the consent agenda at the
beginning of the meeting without much discussion.
4. If the PC approves the private street authorization request, Shimp Engineering will need to submit
fully engineered road plans to the County for review. The full road plans are different from the private
street authorization request. We will follow the same review process/procedures as we would
normally do for any other road plan application. Road plans are administrative applications, which
means there are no public hearings required with the PC or Board of Supervisors. Staff reviews the
drawings for conformity with our street standards, and we issue comment letters to the engineers
telling them what needs to be revised in order for us to approve the road plans.
a. When the road plans are first submitted, we have 30 days to send the engineer
review comments.
b. The overall timeline for road plan approval typically requires 2 or 3 staff reviews,
which can take several months, depending on how fast your engineering firm turns
the plans around to address staff comments.
All in all, I'd say you're looking at a minimum of 4-6 months until the road plans are approved. The
total review and approval timeline could take longer than 4 months, depending on how many
comments staff has during the review of the full road plans and how long it takes the engineers to
revise/resubmit the plans to address those comments.
Please let me know if this does not answer all of your questions.

Good afternoon Cameron — I apologize for the delay, I've been out of town. I must have completely
missed this one along the way as I couldn't find my comments anywhere. My only concern is that the
street has the 20' of clear width, especially since it serves more than three structures. I know we've
recently had a few of these where they improved the road up to the first, or second, driveway and then
the width changes since it is serving less than three. If it's too late for comment I understand but I can
only see a 30' driveway easement shown and not the actual road width.

Subject: RE: St. Francis
Cameron, Willis ended up receiving this plan to review. It's not that they can't make it public, it just has
to be public all the way to the intersection with Earlysville. There can't be a private portion in between.
As far as environmental degradation, as you mentioned the private portion would have to be
reconstructed to VDOT standards. I don't recall what the proposed road and cul-de-sac dimensions were
but there may be additional disturbance required to make it meet VDOT standards. They would also
need an SSAR connectivity exception, which would likely require them to build to an adjacent parcel
line.
Hopefully Willis will get his review to you this week.

Hi Justin,
I'm following up on the status of the VDOT review for this private street authorization request - I haven't
received any comments yet. Are there any issues with the proposed alignment from a VDOT
standpoint? When the preliminary plat for this subdivision went through the Site Review Committee,
you had asked me to forward you the private street request when it came in.
Since they're proposing to extend the existing private street (St. Francis Avenue) to serve the new
residential lots, this has to get approval from the County Planning Commission. As part of that, I need to
write a staff report justifying the request. I seem to remember you telling me at the SRC meeting that
VDOT would not even support the new street extension being a public street because the short portion
of St. Francis Avenue that already exists is designed to private street standards. Can you confirm that
VDOT does not allow new public streets to connect to existing private streets that enter onto a public
street? In this case, St. Francis Avenue enters onto Earlysville Road.
My main questions for VDOT were as follows:
1. Will the private street alleviate a clearly demonstrable likelihood of significant degradation to the
environment of the property or any land adjacent thereto resulting from the construction of a public
street in the same alignment? Meaning, if they were to propose a public street meeting all VDOT
standards for the new parcels,
2. Are there any other VDOT requirements that would preclude allowing a private street instead of a
public street?
Thanks for your help,
Cameron

Hello Cameron,
I don't think we ever got back to you on this comment. I've attached a revised exhibit for the private
road showing a table with frontages and lot sizes. We've also adjusted the setback on lots 2 and 3 to
accommodate the required 150' frontage. It is our understanding that Section 4.6.1-b-1 allows for a
reduction in frontage for lots on a cul-de-sac, which should apply in this case.
Let us know if we're missing anything else.

Subject: SUB201800066 St. Francis Avenue Subdivision - Private Street Authorization Request Question
Hi Justin & Kelly,
I am working on my review of the private street request for this subdivision application. I am waiting to
hear back from VDOT and Fire & Rescue for their comments, but Engineering has no concerns about the
private street.
From a Planning perspective, I do have one question that needs to be answered before taking this
request to the PC. The private street exhibit submitted with SUB201800066 shows a slightly different
layout for the roundabout at the end of the St. Francis Avenue than what was shown on the approved
preliminary plat, SUB2017000181. The design change isn't a big deal in and of itself, but I am concerned
that Lot 2 (4.54 acres) and Lot 3 (4.60 acres) do not have the minimum 150' of required road frontage.
Can you send me a revised private street exhibit with linear/curvilinear dimensions demonstrating that
Lots 2 and 3 have at least 150' of road frontage? If possible, incorporating a table into the private street
exhibit with those dimensions will alleviate this concern.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Cameron

RE: SUB201700181
Hi Barry,
I apologize for the delay in my response.
The process for moving forward is this:
1. Staff from the County and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will continue to
review the private street authorization request and issue comments on items with the proposal
that need to be revised in order for us to make a favorable recommendation to the Planning
Commission (PC) to approve the request.
a. Generally, comments include things like adding or removing notes from the exhibits, or
revising the justification statement.
The Engineering Division of the Department of Community Development has reviewed the
authorization request, and has no objections. I have finished my review for the Planning
Division aspects of the request, and I had one comment which I emailed to Justin Shimp on
Tuesday, 4/24. 1 asked for Justin to provide a revised private street exhibit drawing that shows
how much linear frontage two of the proposed lots will have on the private street (the Zoning
ordinance requires that each lot must have 150' of road frontage, and the two lots at the end of
the roundabout appeared to have less than that).
a. The authorization request was also sent to the Department of Fire & Rescue, and VDOT
for review. They have not finished their reviews yet, but I will forward any comments or
approvals from either agency to Justin upon receipt.
Once all of review comments have been addressed, Planning Division staff will schedule a date
with the Planning Commission to take the materials to them for a hearing. I will write a staff
report with a recommendation for the PC to either approve or deny the authorization request. If
staff is recommending approval, the request will be scheduled as a consent agenda item during
one of the regular PC meetings. Items on the consent agenda do not have a full public hearing
with public comment and a staff presentation. The PC typically approves all items on the
consent agenda at the beginning of the meeting without much discussion.
4. If the PC approves the private street authorization request, Shimp Engineering will need to
submit fully engineered road plans to the County for review. The full road plans are different
from the private street authorization request. We will follow the same review
process/procedures as we would normally do for any other road plan application. Road plans
are administrative applications, which means there are no public hearings required with the PC
or Board of Supervisors. Staff reviews the drawings for conformity with our street standards,
and we issue comment letters to the engineers telling them what needs to be revised in order
for us to approve the road plans.
a. When the road plans are first submitted, we have 30 days to send the engineer review
comments.
The overall timeline for road plan approval typically requires 2 or 3 staff reviews, which
can take several months, depending on how fast your engineering firm turns the plans
around to address staff comments.
All in all, I'd say you're looking at a minimum of 4-6 months until the road plans are approved. The total
review and approval timeline could take longer than 4 months, depending on how many comments staff
has during the review of the full road plans and how long it takes the engineers to revise/resubmit the
plans to address those comments.
Please let me know if this does not answer all of your questions.

SUB201800066 Private Street Request - Justification Statement and
Exhibits.pdf
Shawn,
Thanks for letting me know. Attached is the transmittal sheet for your review, I explain what exactly
Fire/Rescue needs to look for when reviewing this request. This is just a request for authorization of the
private street — they will come in with a full set of road plans later. The Planning Commission has to
approve the private street request because this subdivision is located in the rural areas, not the
development areas, and subdivision proposing more than 2 lots on a new private street must get PC
approval according to the Subdivision Ordinance (Chapter 14 of the County Code).
I have also attached the applicant's justification statement that includes two potential road layout
exhibits. One exhibit is the alignment of what a public road would look like, and the other is the
proposed private street design that they want us to approve. The proposed private street design is the
last page in the PDF document attached above.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hi Shawn,
I placed a small packet of plans and letters in the Interoffice mailbox downstairs here at CDD that is
addressed to you in regard to this application.
This is a private street authorization request for a new private street that will serve five proposed lots in
the St. Francis Avenue subdivision. The St. Francis Avenue subdivision has already gone to the SRC and
obtained preliminary plat approval (SUB201700181). However, they need to get Planning Commission
approval for the private street that will provide access and frontage for the new lots. The
SUB201800066 application listed in the subject line of this email is the actual private street
authorization request for that street. The applicant will come in later with full road plans if the
Commission approves the private street authorization request.
I sent a copy of the request to you just to see if Fire & Rescue has any objections to the proposed street
layout in terms of emergency access, turnarounds, etc. If you could send me any
comments/objections/approvals by April 25t", I'd greatly appreciate it. I have already entered you as a
reviewer in Countyview.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

I sent a copy of the request to you just to see if Fire & Rescue has any objections to the proposed street
layout in terms of emergency access, turnarounds, etc. If you could send me any
comments/objections/approvals by April 25th, I'd greatly appreciate it. I have already entered you as a
reviewer in Countyview.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: SUB201800066 St. Francis Avenue Subdivision - private Street Request
Hi Justin,
On Tuesday I received the application for the private street authorization for the St. Francis Avenue
subdivision's private streets. I see that the application has written notes stating that this is just for the
Planning Commission authorization of the private street, and no actual road plans were submitted with
the application. This is fine, but I just wanted to verify whether you're intending to submit a separate
road plan application for the full road plan review after the PC approves the request, or if you are trying
to submit the full road plans after PC approval as part of this application?
Let me know, thanks!
Cameron
