RE: SDP2018-31 Rivanna Village Phase 2 (Blocks D, F, G, H, I, and J) - Final Site Plan
Dear Sir:
Department of Community Development has reviewed the above referenced site plan (dated 3-27-19) against applicable
Code of Development, Proffers, Application Plan, and other codes and ordinances. Comments are provided below;
however, additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.): [Each comment is
preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
1. [ZMA201300012 Proffers] All proffers shall be adhered to as dictated in the proffers. Rev 3: Comment still
relevant.
2. [COD Sec 3.31 Lot Regulation/Setbacks. Replace the setbacks listed and depicted throughout the plan
with the new setback chart (provided below) which was approved by the BOS on December 6, 2017.
Please do not reword anything in the chart, merely provide the exact chart on the site plan.
Additionally, revise the setbacks and buildable area depicted on all lots throughout the plan utilizing
these new setbacks and the various factors provided in the chart. Final: Comment addressed.
3. [COD Sec 3.41 Building Height. Throughout the site plan label the maximum height of each structure by block
that is being platted. See table 3.4 of the Code of Development as each block has different heights permitted
based on the use. Example: Block G is permitted a maximum building height of 40 feet. Final: Comment
addressed.
4. [COD Sec 7.11 Parking. The only portion of the development not subject to the 20% maximum rule for
parking provided in excess of required parking, is that for Block D, as a waiver was granted during the
rezoning for this block. All other blocks shall meet the 20% maximum for parking provided. Final: Comment
addressed.
Additionally, the minimum number of parking required in Blocks C, D, E, and F for NON-RESIDENTIAL
uses in these blocks shall be based on the requirements for Shopping Centers, as contained in Section 4.12.6 of
the County Code. Also, the calculations for NON-RESIDENTIAL parking shall be based on the total square
footage within the block and not upon a per lot basis. Final: Comment still relevant but only for the
nonresidential section, which is being pushed to a separate site plan.
Also, provide parking calculation for the public park and identify the locations of these spaces. These spaces
may be satisfied by either on -street spaces along perimeter of Block J, or provided using on -street or surface
lots available to the public in adjacent blocks or in Block K's surface parking lot (see Sec 8 of the COD)).
Rev 3. The approved parking determination for the community park permits on street parking spaces
within 500' from the proposed use. On sheet 4 revise the parking radius to depict a 500' radius from the
closest park boundary. Please ensure all required on street parking spaces for the park are provided
within the radius. Currently only 99 on street parking spaces marked for the park were found on the
plan; however, the site plan calculates that 108 are required based on modified use numbers,
additionally the plans state 122 are provided. Revise to ensure the minimum number of parking spaces
are provided to serve the use within 500' radius.
[ZMA201300012 Proffer 9] Affordable Housing. Designate which lots are the affordable units throughout the
final site plan and final plat. Also, under the chart provide the full statement that reads: "The owner shall
contribute cash to the County in the amount of Twenty -One Thousand, One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($21,150)
instead of constructing each required affordable unit. Such payment shall be made after completion of the
final inspection and prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy for any such unit for which payment in
lieu of constructing affordable housing is made. " Final: Comment not adequately addressed, applicant
response to this condition is not adequate. On the plan identify the lots which will be the ADUs. Rev 1.
Comment addressed.
6. [ZMA201300012 Proffer 2] Cash Proffer for Capital Improvement. The required cash contribution for each
unit shall be dictated by the proffer and is required to be paid after completion of final inspection and prior to
the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for each unit. Final: Applicant acknowledges the comment.
7. [ZMA201300012 Proffer 7, COD 5.4.2, COD 5.4.31 Rte. 250 Landscape Buffer and Right of Way
Dedication. Label, dimension, and depict the required 70' reservation zone and the 30' landscape buffer along
Rte 250. These improvements shall be reserved for public use and dedicated upon the request of the County.
The developer shall preserve the existing vegetation in this area as described in the proffer. Final: Comment
not addressed. The Route 250 Landscape Buffer and Right-of-way dedication shall be appropriately
labeled and dimensioned throughout the plan. Currently this area is labeled as "Amenity Space";
however, this is not an acceptable use of this land. Additionally, it is also labeled "SWM/BMP
Forest/Open Space Easement"; however, this land shall not be used for this purpose either. The
rezoning calls out the permitted uses in this area which can take place on the land until it is dedicated to
the County upon demand for Rte 250 widening. Specifically, sidewalks, landscaped open space, signage,
and utilities. Remove the above uses from this land. Rev 1. Comment not adequately addressed. Rev 2.
Comment addressed.
On the plan provide a note for this area: "The 70' reservation zone and 30' landscape buffer are reserved
for public use and dedication upon the demand of the County, " "The maintenance and upkeep of these
areas and their landscaping shall be the responsibility of the HOA until the County demands dedication and
accepts it.' Rev 1. Comment addressed. Rev 3. The required notes are no longer provided in the plan.
Revise the plan to include the following revised notes: "The 70' wide reservation zone and 30' wide
landscape buffer are hereby reserved for future dedication for Public use upon demand of the
County, ""The maintenance and upkeep of these areas and their landscaping shall be the responsibility of
the HOA until the County demands dedication and accepts iz"
[COD Sec 3.2(4)] Density Regulations. A minimum of 20,000 SF of non-residential uses shall be in the
development. On the plans label and depict where the required 20,000 SF non-residential use shall be located
and assure there is enough area for 20,000 SF. Revise the Density by Block chart on sheet 4 to provide these
calculations. Presumably these uses are to be in either Block D.
Final: The 'Density y Block' chart on sheet 4 contains incorrect density ranges for Blocks A, B, D, E, I, and J.
Also, revise note #1 of the chart to mention the 20,000 SF nonresidential development in Block D. Rev 1.
Comment addressed.
9. [COD Sec 8] Open Space/Greenspace Preservation. Throughout the plan label the park as `Hereby Dedicated
to the County of Albemarle for Public use as a Public Park". Final: Comment addressed.
10. [COD Sec 81 Open Space/Greenspace Preservation. Prior to final site plan approval the Director of Parks and
Recreation is required to approve a park plan, which shall ensure amenities provided meet the needs of the
County and satisfy the rezoning. Final: Comment still relevant. Dan Mahon provided the applicant
comments on the park plan. Pending revisions of the final site plan to address these review comments.
Rev 1. Comment still relevant. Please work with Parks and Recreation to receive an approved park plan
and ensure the site plan matches. Rev 2. Comment still relevant. Please work with Parks and Recreation
to finalize an approved park plan and ensure the site plan matches. See Parks and Recreation comments

11. [COD Sec 81 Open Space/Greenspace Preservation. The wetlands areas in the park shall be labeled as
"Preserved Wetland Areas ". Omit the reference to "Future Park" on sheet 4, as this area shall be part of the
park with phase 2 of development. Final: Comment addressed.
12. [COD Sec 81 Open Space/Greenspace Preservation. Depict, label, and design a maintenance facility within the
development for use by the County Parks and Recreation Department to maintain the public park facility. Also,
coordinate with Parks and Recreation Department on the width and design of the trails throughout the park.
Once coordinated provide `typicals' of these access ways. Prior to approval engineering and the Parks and Rec
department shall sign off that these trails are adequate for use by motorized maintenance vehicles.
Final: Comment is still relevant. These improvements shall be depicted on the site plan and approved by
Parks and Recreation prior to final site plan approval. Rev 1. Comment still relevant, as I have not
received review comments or approval from Parks. While utilizing the existing fire station/county lot
may be permitted for a possible maintenance facility it is not guaranteed. If you seek to utilize this area
please depict it within this site plan and provide a written request to include a justification. Prior to
approval of this area for use as a maintenance area to serve the park, the BOS shall hold a public
hearing and take an action on the request. Rev 2. Comment addressed.
13. [COD Sec 81 Open Space/Greenspace Preservation. The park has two required trail connects to the Eastpark
Road. Currently these are depicted as easements; however, this is not appropriate and shall be revised to be fee
simple dedications to the park. Depict, label, and dimension these trail connections. Additionally, the trail
connections shall be increased in width above the 6' width as currently provided. These trail connections are to
be utilized as access points for the public as well as used by Parks and Recreation Department to maintain the
public park facility. Revise. Final: Comment addressed.
14. [Comment] On either sheet 4 or 5 provide a table of content overlay, which labels which sheets each section of
various blocks can be found on. Final: Comment addressed.
15. 132.5.2(a), 32.5.2(i)] Existing or platted streets. Label all streets (public) and all alleys (private). Provide
directional arrows on each alley to signify one way or two-way traffic. Also, provide the widths of all streets.
Final: Comment addressed.
16. 132.5.2(a), 32.5.2(i)] Alleys. On the plan provide a note that states no public agency, including VDOT, and the
County of Albemarle will be responsible for maintaining the alleys. Also, provide information on the plans that
the alleys shall be dedicated and maintained by the HOA. Final: Comment addressed.
17. [ZMA201300012 Proffer 3] Route 250 and Eastern Entrance Improvements. "The owner shall either
construct left and right turn lanes on Route 250 at the eastern entrance to the property or bond these
improvements prior to approval of the first site plan or subdivision plat for the development... "
Final: A road plan for the above referenced entrance improvements and all the roads in phase 2 shall be
submitted and approved prior to final site plan approval. Staff is aware that the entrance improvements
onto Rte. 250 are currently bonded; however, no road plan was ever submitted or approved for these
improvements. One is required. Site plan review does not guarantee VDOT or Engineering have
completed a full review of the improvements along Rte. 250; rather, such heavy lifting will be done on
the road plan and its review. Once submitted and reviewed the road plan and the final site plan shall
match for these improvements. Rev 2. Comment still relevant. Rev 3. Road plan review is underway.
18. [Code of Development Section 4.21 Covenants to Provide Architectural Review Committee. Prior to final site
plan and/or final subdivision plat approval a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for
Rivanna Village Phase II shall be reviewed/approved by the County Attorney's office in consultation with
County Planning staff. The above document shall be approved by the County and recorded by the developer
prior to final site plan and/or final subdivision plat approval. The DB page reference information of this
recorded document shall be noted on the final site plan and/or final subdivision plat. Rev 1: Comment not
addressed. While this requirement was addressed for phase I, per conversations with the County
Attorney it is not addressed for phase II. Please submit a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions for Rivanna Village Phase II. Rev 2. Please submit the Declaration of Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions for Rivanna Village Phase II. Rev 3. Comment not addressed.

Final: Comment not addressed. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
21. [32.5.2(n)] Proposed improvements. How is daily household trash going to be disposed of for these units? If
each lot is going to have its own trash container for curbside pickup, where are these containers going to be
stored when not in use? Final: Comment addressed.
22. [32.7.4.21 Easements for stormwater management facilities. Provide access to the stormwater management
facility. Also, provide an easement over the facility and the access. Final: Comment addressed.
23. [32.8.2, 14-3111 Infrastructure improvementplans. Road plans must be approved and built or bonded prior to
approval. On the initial site plan Fire and Rescue commented that the road widths are not adequate for on street
parking. They have not provided staff comments on the plan yet. Work with Fire and Rescue to ensure the
roads are wide enough to accommodate on street parking and that the spaces are dimensioned and labeled.
Final: Comment still relevant. Rev 1: Comment still relevant. Fire and Rescue has provided additional
review comments on road widths. Please ensure these are addressed. County parallel parking standards
may cause some of these on -street spaces to be lost, unless a waiver is granted for reduced width (see
county review comment #48 below). Review. Rev 2: Fire and Rescue has no objections to the site plan;
however, a road plan is still lacking. Please submit the road plan for review. Rev 3. Road plan review is
underway.
24. 132.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.71 Screening. Proposed SWM Facilities shall be screened from the adjacent residential
lots. Final: Comment addressed.
25. [32.7.2.1] Vehicular Access to Site. Each entrance onto any public street shall be designed and constructed as
required by the standards of the Virginia Department of Transportation. VDOT approval of the entrance to the
site shall be required prior to final site plan and/or final plat approval. Rev 2: Comment still relevant. Rev 3.
Comment still relevant.
26. [Comment] Provide the dimensions of proposed easements and whether they are to be publicly or privately
maintained. Final: Comment addressed.
27. [32.6.2(e)] Public facilities and utilities. All water and sewer facilities to be dedicated to public use and the
easements for those facilities and shall be identified by a statement that the facilities are to be dedicated to the
Albemarle County Service Authority. Final: Comment addressed.
28. [Comment] On sheet 1 provide the site plan number and when submitted ensure it is labeled as Final Site Plan.
Please omit Road Plan from the title. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
Additional Comments on the Final
29. [14-409] Coordination & Extension. All public streets within a subdivision shall be extended and constructed
to the abutting property lines to provide vehicular and pedestrian interconnections to future development on
adjoining lands, terminating within the subdivision with a temporary turnaround. The three cul-de-sac streets
that shall meet the above requirement are: Mossy Rock Road, Terrapin Trace, and Lazy Branch Lane. Please
depict and label the right of way dedications to the property lines, reservation of the areas are appropriate at
this time through the following note: `Area reserved for future right-of-way dedication upon demand of the
County. " Rev 1. Comment addressed.
30. [Comment] Label the land use of the hatched area adjacent to and fronting lots I-59, I-60, I-61, I-62, and J-48.
What does the hatching signify? Hopefully it is a reservation zone for future right-of-way dedication, if so,
labeled it `Area reserved for future right-of-way dedication upon demand of the County. " Rev 1. Comment
addressed.
31. [14-303] Cattail Court needs to be modified to a "30' private street easement". This private street is being
relied upon for frontage of the townhomes. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
32. [4.12] Parking. Label and dimension the two required parking spaces per lot for Lots F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, and
F 12. Additionally, on the site plan, with arrows, locate the guest parking spaces for these lots (staff assumes
they are along Sedgwick Lane). Rev 1. Each of these lots shall have a minimum of 2 spaces on the lot it
serves. For the TH units in Block F it is unclear where the garage starts on each lot, also it is unclear the
length of the driveway for each lot. Ensure each driveway is a min of 18' long (outside of the R/W and
outside the sidewalk). Provide dimensions and label these features.
Revise sheet 2 parking calculations to accurately reflect the required spaces and the provided spaces
based on the information above: I suggest — "48 spaces required, 48 spaces provided (42 spaces provided
on the lots and 6 spaces provided on street as guest spaces)". Also, omit parking note #1: "Only the 21
townhomes with..."as the above suggested note covers the information more accurately. Rev 2.
Comment addressed.
33. [4.12.5, 4.121 Location of Parking Areas. All parking spaces shall be established on the same lot with the
primary use to which it is appurtenant, except as authorized by section 4.12.8. Lots G-11, G-25, G-26, G-27,
G-41, G-42 are not provided 2 parking spaces on each lot. Nor are they provided guest parking spaces.
Additionally, none of the full spaces are encompassed on the lot; rather, every space is a quarter outside of the
lot. Block G is lacking the minimum number of required parking spaces.
To correct this staff suggests you revise the parking area in Block G to no longer be on the individual lots, but
instead locate them in congregate parking bays within a parking easements for the entire block. If you go this
route the guest parking space requirement no longer applies. If you modify this, ensure the lots continue to
meet the minimum lot size of 1,300 SF. Also, provide an instrument ensuring continuation of off -site parking
shall be recorded prior to final site plan approval. Rev 1. Comment mostly addressed. Zoning does not have
a template for such an agreement. I suggest the covenants and restrictions document contain the
language to cover this parking agreement. The final plat will need to depict, label, and dimension the
PaaPmPnt_
If you do not modify parking as recommended, the required parking spaces and the required guest spaces will
need to be provided for all lots in this block. Rev 2. Comment addressed.
34. [4.12] Parking. Which townhome lots are the 21 lots you believe have a parking deficiency? Their location and
access to on -street parking will determine if their parking is met through this alternative. If it is Block G you
speak of, on -street parking will not suffice because it is separated by a public road. Rev 2. Comment
addressed.
35. [4.12.6] Parking Requirements. Dimension all parking spaces. Rev 2. Comment addressed.
36. [32.5.2(n)] Trails. Throughout the plan label and dimension the trail and ... Rev 1. Comment addressed.
37. [4.12] Parking. Provide column titles for the parking calculations chart. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
38. [COD Sec 8] Open Space/Greenspace Preservation. Please work with Parks and Recreation to determine the
appropriate method to separate and distinguish private residential lots from the public park (either fencing,
berm, evergreen landscaping, or a combination). Prior to final site plan approval please depict and label the
solution. Rev 1. Comment still relevant. Planning staff requests at a minimum a single row of approved
evergreen trees be planted behind all of the homes surrounding the park. Lots J20427 and Lots J28 - J33 shall
be provided plantings behind these homes, if existing preserved trees are to remain, please label these.
Currently the plan is not clear that this is taking place. Rev 2. Replace all Pinus Strobus plantings that are
proposed in and around the perimeter of the park with Juniperus Virginiana plantings. Also, provide a
note on the plans that states that wooden post and County Park decals will be provided along the
boundaries of all residential and park areas in Block J. These improvements shall help distinguish
between private and public areas. Provide a cutsheet depicting the design of this feature. Rev 3.
Comment addressed.
39. [Comment] The final site plan shall not be approved until all SRC reviewers have approved the plan. Their
comments attached. Rev 2. Comment still relevant. Rev 3. Comment still relevant.
40. [ZMA201300012 Proffer 9] Affordable Housing. The affordable housing calculations on sheet 4 are incorrect,
this appears to merely be an addition error of the totals in each block. Currently it is listed as 18; however, I
believe it should truly be 44. Revise. Rev 2 Comment addressed. Rev 3. The owner shall provide
affordable housing equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total residential units constructed on the
Property. 291 unit development requires 44 units to be designated ADU. On page 4 in the ADU chart
please fill out where each unit was designated to ensure all 44 units are provided.
41. [ZMA201300012] Application Plan — Open Space Statistics. Sheet 5 of the site plan shall be revised to
accurately label and account for the different areas throughout the development which are Open Space (HOA
maintained in perpetuity — i.e. open space areas with no trails and not part of the larger park), Linear Park w/
Trail (County maintained once built by the developer and accepted by the County), and Community Park
(County maintained once built and accepted by the County). Currently the plan lists all these spaces as Amenity
Space and does not provide intended ownership/maintenance. This shall be revised to match the rezoning.
Rev 2. Comment not fully addressed. Portions of the proposed Community Park are not appropriate to
be taken into the park system/maintained by the County. These areas shall be revised to HOA
maintained open space. Omit the space area adjacent to Lot J49. Rev 3. Comment addressed.
42. [COD 3.3] Lot Regulations. While sheet 4 correctly lists the setbacks, the setbacks throughout the rest of the
plan are incorrectly depicted and labeled. These shall be revised to match the approved setbacks in the COD.
While buildable area may be different than setbacks, the setbacks shall match the approved setback regulations.
Revise. Rev 2. Comment addressed.
43. 132.5.2(n), 32.7.2.3, 14-422, 32.7.9.51 Sidewalks & planting strips. Continue sidewalks, landscaping strip, and
street tree plantings along Rte. 250 (the entire frontage of the property). Revl. The master plan for this area
plans for a 10' wide asphalt bike/shared multi use path along this roadway. Ensure the landscape strip
for the required street trees is provided. The road plan will be the main review document to cover these
items; however, the site plan shall mirror what is approved for this roadway improvement. VDOT shall
also review and approve these items. Rev 2. Please locate the required street trees in a 6' landscape strip
area adjacent to the road and locate the 10' shared use path behind it. Rev 3. Comment addressed.
44. [32.7.9.5] Landscaping Along Streets. Revise the landscape calculations to provide the required street tree
calculations to assure compliance with the ordinance. Rev 3. Comment not addressed.
45. [COD Sec 7.11 Parking. The parking study shall be approved by the Zoning Administrator prior to final site
plan approval. While staff appreciates the parking calculations for recreational uses, the ordinance has separate
regulations for the Public Recreational facility in which the Zoning Administrator shall determine the
calculations for the use. I recently forwarded the study to the Zoning Administrator and am awaiting a response
Rev 2. Comment addressed. The parking study shall be approved by the Zoning Administrator.
Attached is the parking determination dated May 29t", 2019.
46. [4.12] Parking. This is a publicly dedicated County Park, ADA accessible parking spaces are required. Provide
a minimum of 4 ADA parking spaces for the park. Rev 2. Comment addressed.
47. [4.12] Parking. Staff is only able to locate 88 spaces dedicated to the park. Rev 2. Comment addressed.
48. 14.12.161 Minimum Design of Parking. Ensure all parallel parking spaces meet the minimum space
requirements of 9 feet x 20 feet. This includes all on street parking spaces. To permit spaces of reduced width
an administrative waiver is needed and shall be reviewed and approved by the Zoning Administrator in
consultation with County Engineering. Provide the written request along with justification and an explanation
of how the modification would equally or better serve the public health, safety or welfare. If the waiver is
approved on the cover sheet reference the modification of these parking space sizes and reference Section
4.12.2(c)(2) of the County Code. Rev 2. Comment addressed.
49. [Comment] Dimension and provide easement for trail on Lot J-1, see sheet 18. Rev 2. Comment addressed.
50. [Comment] Depict and label an offsite grading easement that permits grading and improvements on TMP
08000-00-00-058A0, which are outside of the right-of-way. Provide deed book page reference information on
the site plan. Also, depict and label all offsite grading easements that permit grading and road improvements to
Rte. 250 which are offsite. Provide deed book page reference information for these easements. Rev 2. Prior to
final site plan approval provide signed and recorded agreements from all the effected property owners
granting permission for offsite grading and driveway improvements. It appears TMP 08000-00-00-
058A0, TMP 08000-00-00-05800, and TMP 08000-00-00-046BO require these agreements. If other lots
are effected by offsite work obtain those agreements too. Provide recordation information on the final
site plan. If required physical improvements for the project or a land take is proposed, then an easement
plat, BLA or R/W dedication plat shall be required prior to final site plan approval. Provide the
recordation information on the final site plan. Rev 3. The revised site plan omits all offsite work on TMP
80-46B and TMP 80-58; rather, the only offsite work appears to be on TMP 80-58A. Prior to final site
plan approval provide signed agreements from all the effected property owners granting permission for
offsite grading and driveway improvements outside the public right-of-way.
51. [Comment] Is the offsite sewer connection on TMP 80-47 (see sheet 60) existing or proposed? If it is existing
provide deed book page reference information for the sewer easement. If it is required and the existing
easement is not recorded, an offsite sewer easement shall be acquired and platted prior to final site plan. Rev 2.
Comment addressed, see sheet 37 for recordation information of recorded ACSA easement.
52. [Comment] Sheet 51, Lot I-36 has an "Amenity Space" note on it. Is this accurate? Amenity space shall not be
on individual lots. Rev 2. Comment addressed.
53. [Comment] Pending review comments from ACSA, Parks and Recreation, and the Zoning Administrators
review of the parking study. Rev 2. Pending review comments from ACSA. Rev 3. Parking study has been
approved.
54. [Proffer 6] Linear Trails. The project is required to dedicate to the County 13.26 acres of linear parks and
trails outside the Community Park; however, the current proposal only provides 11.95 acres. Revise the plan to
provide the additional acreage to the linear park. The acreage from the fire station's linear park land is not
included in the requires acreages. Rev 3. Comment addressed. A determination was made to calculate the
linear trails by excludinu the full acreage of the fire station (parcel K) but to include the easements for
trails on the fire station parcel. With these calculations the linear park is truly 12.88 acres. Documented
in an email sent Wed, September 11, 2019 at 1:56pm between County staff and the applicant.
55. [ZMA201300012] Application Plan. On sheet 5 accurately depict the linear trails in Block K and Block A.
Provide recordation information on the final site plan for these existing trail easements. Rev 3. Comment
addressed.
56. [COD Sec 8, Sec 3.2 Open Space/Greenspace Preservation] Park Master Planning. Residential Lots 59 and
60 shall be removed from the plans or located elsewhere further away from the park's pavilion facilities.
Redesign the area as a flat multipurpose lawn, which can be utilized for programming. Also, modify the
