RE: SUB201900156 Rivanna Village Phase 2 — Road Plans
Dear Sir:
[ZMA201300012 Proffer 31 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... "
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. It is recommended that the bonds be
recalculated to match this road plan.
IZMA201300012 Proffer 7, COD 5.4.2, COD 5.4.3, 32.5.2(0), 32.7.1.3(a), 32.7.1, 32.7.1.1, 14-
428, 14-429] Route 250 Landscape Buffer and Right of Way Dedication. The reservation zone and
the landscape buffer shall be reserved for public use and dedication upon the request of the County.
Provide the following note on the plan: "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 it. "
[Comment] The road plan does not match the latest version of the site plan. Many of the charts and
calculations are not the most up to date. Additionally, the proposed lot layouts differ. Revise the road
plan to match the latest version of the site plan.
4. [COD Sec 7.1, 4.12] The proposed phasing is not approvable because all of the required parking
spaces for the park use are not provided in the same phase as the park, Phase 2A. Additionally, half of
a guest space is located in Phase 2A, which is truly required for phase 2B. Revise the phasing to
include all required parking for the use.
[COD Sec 7.1, 4.121 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.
6. [Comment] Prior to road 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. The only offsite work appears to be on TMP 80-58A.
7. [COD Sec 5.2, Sheet 5 Exhibit B] Dimension and label all sidewalks and landscape strips.
Additionally, throughout the plan list the construction material of the sidewalks.
8. [COD Sec 5.21 Street Trees. Provide street tree calculations for the proposal. Additionally, for
bonding purposes separate and label all street trees within the planting schedule.
9. [COD Sec 5.21 Street Trees. The Ostrya virginiana/American Hophombeam is a small deciduous
tree; however, all street trees are required to be large deciduous trees a minimum of 2" caliper each.
Discontinue the use of this specific planting for street trees and replace them with a large deciduous
species a min of 2" caliper.
10. [COD Sec 5.21 Street Trees. The Lagerstroemia indica/crapemyrtles fronting Block D shall be revised
to a large deciduous tree species a min of 2" caliper.
11. [COD Sec 5.21 Street Trees. Staff found 30 plantings of (LS) Liquidambar styraciflua/Rotundiloba
Sweetgum along streets on page 55 and page 56; however, the planting schedule only provides for 21
plantings. Revise.
12. [Comment] There are 43 Swamp White Oak trees listed in the planting schedule; however, only 28
were found. Revise.
13. [Comment] Remove lots J58 and J59.
14. [COD Sec 3.31 Lot Regulations. The front setbacks in Block G are listed as 15'; however, the setback
line scales to 10'. Revise.
15. [COD Sec 3.31 Lot Regulations. The rear setbacks for Lots G-1 through GI are listed as 5';
however, they scale to 8'. Revise.
