Date: November 13, 2019 Revised Version
Subject: SDP201600007 Inglewood Terrace — Final Site Plan
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plan referenced above once the following
comments 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, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
Conditions of Initial Plan Approval:
1. [Comment] This application was reviewed against Site Development Plan requirements only. Lot lines and a `private
road' are shown on the plan, but no subdivision application, nor private road request, nor road plans have been
submitted. Any subdivision related comments are provided for reference only unless necessary for site plan approval.
Rev 3: A private road request was submitted and has been approved.
[4.6.1, 4.6.6, 32.7.2.1, 32.7.2.2, 32.5.2(m), 32.7.2.3, 14-207, 14-3091 The private street serving the development is
proposed within an existing publicly dedicated right-of-way, this is not approvable. VDOT never accepted the portion
of the right-of-way labeled as `Unimproved Inglewood Drive' into the State Secondary System and the County still
owns it. Either pursue vacation of the right of way pursuant to State Code 15.2-2272 prior to final site plan and/or final
subdivision plat approval OR upgrade the existing roadway to meet current VDOT standards from the point where
VDOT maintenance ends. This will include a suitable turn around at the end of state maintenance, removal of the
existing parking area, continuation of curb and gutter, tie in of the existing driveway of TMP 061 KO-05-OD-00400, and
the dedication of right-of-way or easements as necessary. Please show these improvements and easements or right-of-
way_prior to final site plan and/ or subdivision plat approval. Rev 7: Comment not addressed. Label the roadway
within the public right-of-way as public and provide gutter throughout.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Approval and recordation of a plat showing the vacation of the property line between TMP 61K-10-OA and
TMP 61K-10-OA2 is required prior to final site plan approval. Include the deed book/page reference number on the
final site plan. It may be appropriate to combine all platting items on a single plat (if other items exist). Rev 7:
Comment still relevant. Please resubmit the plat for review and approval prior to final site plan approval. The
plat provided in the site plan shall match the proposal.
4. [32.7.2.11 VDOT approval of the proposed entrance to the site shall be required prior to final site plan approval.
Rev 7: Comment still relevant.
5. [14-412(A)(3), 14-412(A)(3)(b) and 14-412(B)] VDOT road standards apply to the proposed private street. Show the
24' required width FC/FC on the final site plan. Rev 2: The County Engineer may permit the width of the private
street to be 20' FC/FC per design standards manual. Comment addressed.
6. [32.5.2(i),15.2.1(3, 14-233(B)1, 14-234] A private street request must be submitted prior to final subdivision plat
approval. This private street request can be reviewed administratively due to the presence of attached dwellings. A
maintenance agreement for the private street must be submitted for review and approval by the County Attorney's
Office with the subdivision application. Rev 3: A private street request was submitted and has been approved by
the Agent due to the presence of attached units.
7. [32.7.2.2, 14-410(H), 14-4221 Private Streets in the Development Area. In the development areas, streets shall be
constructed with curb or curb and gutter, sidewalks and planting strips. Sidewalks and planting strips shall be designed
and constructed in compliance with section 14-422 (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) Revise to provide sidewalks and landscape strips on both
sides of the new street. Otherwise submit variation or exception request pursuant to Section 14-422(F) & 14-203.1.
This item shall be acted on prior to final subdivision plat and final site plan approval. Rev 4: The above sections of
the subdivision ordinance were sited in error and have been determined not to apply to this development or the
request; rather it has been determined that Section 32.3.5 permits variations and exceptions of the required
improvements listed under Section 32.7.2.2, which utilize the private road standards in Chapter 14 but are not
varied or excepted by Chapter 14. Because of this error the agent has requested revised exception requests and
justifications under Section 32.3.5 in order to act on the request. The applicant submitted the revised exception
requests on June 25th 2018 and staff has reviewed it. I offer the following:
Considerations and Finding: The applicant has chosen to develop the current proposal as a public street within
the existing publically dedicated right-of-way, and develop a private street for the remainder. In considering the
request submitted on June 25th the agent has examined the surrounding neighborhood, which is a historic
neighborhood that was originally designed without sidewalks and landscape strips. As lots are redeveloped
sidewalks are established along the frontage, void of landscape strips. Current VDOT standards do not require
sidewalks and landscape strips on both sides of the public roadway.
The agent finds there is an unusual situation involving the existing previously dedicated but not accepted 50'
public right-of-way that is acting as a constricting factor for the installation of the required improvements.
Additionally, the current proposal is not served by a through street but rather a dead-end street that serves the
9 proposed units.
Taking into consideration the above circumstances the agent approves the exception request to permit sidewalks
on one side of the roadway and omit landscape strips throughout which will result in an improvement that
substantially satisfies the overall purpose of the ordinance in a manner that equally meets the desired effect of
the requirement. Additionally the improvement facilitates public safety, health, and welfare of residents in the
neighborhood by providing enhanced nedestrian access from the units down the hill.
As a condition of the approval landscape easements shall be provided between the driveways on individual lots
1-3 to provide the required street trees, and all other requires street trees shall be planted within the open space
areas adjacent to the right-of-way and in parking islands, as depicted on the plans.
The comment has been addressed.
Rev 7. Provide gutter throughout the parking area, the private street, and throughout the public road.
8. [32.5.2(n), 4.12.15(g)] Curb and gutter in parking areas and along travelways. Either provide the required curb and
gutters in the parking area or submit a request and justification for a modification/waiver under Section 4.12.2(C) &
(C)2. This is an agent approved waiver which can only be acted on after consultation with the County Engineer, who
shall advise whether the proposed waiver or modification would equally or better serve the public health, safety or
welfare. This item shall be acted on prior to final subdivision plat and final site plan approval. Rev 7. Comment not
addressed. Provide gutter throughout the parking area.
9. 132.5.2(b), 4.12.16(c)] Minimum parking space size. Are the 6'-wide parking spaces fronting Lots 4-9 for
motorcycles/mopeds? If so, label the spaces as such. If not, on the plan label what they are being utilized for. These
spaces shall not be counted towards the minimum required spaces. Final: Comment addressed.
10. [4.12.16(C)] The two proposed parking spaces fronting TMP 061KO-05-OD-00400 are required to be 18' in length.
Currently they are depicted as 16' in length. Revise the final site plan accordingly. Final: Comment no longer
relevant, plans were modified to omit these spaces.
11. [32.5.2(i)] Street trees shall be required for this development. Prior to final site plan approval a landscape plan shall be
provided. Final: A landscape plan has been provided. Detailed landscape comments are provided below in
"Additional Comments".
12. [32.5.2(i), 4.6.3,15.2.1(3), 15.31 Setbacks. Rev 3. Per conversations with Zoning the original comment was made
in error, and is no longer relevant, see new setback comment below.
13. [32.5.2(f)] Per the June 19, 2015 letter by David L. Powell, Environmental Specialist, which was submitted to staff on
October 29, 2015, the stream feature has been categorized as an Intermittent Stream. The study was reviewed by
County Engineering staff and has been determined to be adequate. An adjacent property owner has contacted staff and
expressed his concerns with this study and has opted to contract a stream categorization study of his own by a licensed
professional. At the time of this approval letter the second study has not been provided. When the study is submitted it
shall be considered and reviewed by County Engineering staff. If the second study contradicts the June 19th, 2015
study, the County Engineer will make a determination to classify the stream. Rev 2. Comment has been addressed.
14. [32.5.2(d), 32.5.2(f)] The 9' retaining wall is acting as a dam for the stream that may cause flooding on neighboring
properties in the event of heavy rainfall. Have any studies been conducted to assess the max flow of this stream to
assure that the 60" storm sewer pipe is adequate to avoid such flooding? If so, please provide copies of the study to
myself and Engineering. This item may pose an issue for the development during the WPO plan review of the project.
Please work with Engineering staff to address this concern prior to final site plan approval. Also, the `New 60" HDPE
Storm Sewer' discharges water into the existing swale on TMP 61K-5-D-4. Will piping the water under the proposed
buildings increase the velocity/flow of discharged water potentially increasing erosion on the neighboring property
and/or impact properties downstream? During the WPO plan review and prior to final site plan approval please work
with Engineering staff to address this concern. Rev 1: Plans have been revised to terrace the retaining wall into two
separate 5' tall walls, and detention pipes. The WPO plan shall be approved prior to final site plan approval.
The site plan shall reflect approved WPO.
15. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.71 Screening. The proposed outfall of the stream shall be screened from the adjacent residential
lots (TMP 061KO-05-OD-00400& 061KO-09-00-003BO). Provide the required screening on the final site plan's
landscape plan. Rev 7: Comment not addressed.
16. [32.5.2(a), 15.4.1, 3.11 Maintenance of existing wooded areas. For the undisturbed areas to qualify for a 10% density
bonus, demonstrate in an exhibit that the area meets the definition of "Wooded Areas" per section 3.1 of the ordinance.
Provide the exhibit and a conservation plan as specified in section 32.7.9 prior to final site plan approval and/or final
subdivision plat approval. Rev 7: Comment not addressed. List the open space areas that are to remain
undisturbed. Provide an exhibit for the undisturbed open space areas to demonstrate that these areas meet the
definition of "Wooded Areas" per section 3.1. Ensure the amount of undisturbed area is 20% or greater of the
site.
On the final subdivision plat, show the conservation area and provide the following note: "Lot acreages shown hereon
were calculated under the Bonus Level Cluster development requirements. Lots shown hereon comply with section
15.4.1 "Environmental standards" by conserving acreage area that comprises % of the total area of the
subdivided parcels. " Final: Item shall be addressed prior to final subdivision plat approval.
17. [32.5.2(a), 15.4.31 Affordable housing. Clearly identify the affordable unit on the final subdivision plat.
Rev 2. Comment addressed (Lot 2).
18. [32.5.2(a), 15.5, 15.3, 4.7] Cluster Development. On the plan clearly distinguish what area is being counted towards
Open Space B & Open Space C. Ensure the square footage for the road and parking are omitted from the open space
totals. Rev 7. Comment not addressed.
On the final subdivision plat list who shall own and maintain the open space. An open space maintenance agreement
approved by the County Attorney's office shall be required prior to final subdivision plat approval. Final: Shall be
addressed on final subdivision plat.
3
19. [32.5.2(a), 15.5, 15.3, 4.7] Cluster Development. On sheet C1, under Impervious Area Schedule, 25,837 SF is listed
under area in "Open Space"; however, on sheet C3 open space A-D add up to 34,217 SF. Correct and coordinate
calculations throughout the plans.
20. [32.5.2(d)] Prior to final site plan approval provide a temporary grading and construction easement or license
agreement for the installation of the proposed DI and New 15" HDPE Storm Sewer on TMP 061KO-05-OC-01300.
Also, revise the plan to provide this property owner's name and TMP. Final: Comment no longer relevant as there is
no work proposed on adioining neighbor's property; rather, the work will take place in the existing right-of-
way.
21. [32.5.1(c), 32.5.2(n)] Dimensions. On the plan provide the dimensions of the proposed structures.
Final: Comment addressed.
22. [Comment] On the plans provide the deed book page reference information for the existing 30' Joint Access
Easement. Staff research determined that the maintenance agreement for this join access easement is DB 1654-291.
Revise accordingly. Rev 1: Comment addressed.
23. [Comment] The adjacent property owner of TMP 061KO-10-00-OOOAl has a portion of his existing driveway on land
that is part of your development and property (TMP 061KO- 10-00-OOOA2). It appears that some grading is taking place
on a portion of his driveway that is on your land. He has contacted County staff (Engineering and myself) and is very
concerned with this aspect of the plans and does not want this to take place. It is recommended that you contact this
citizen and try and work out this issue. I have his contact information and will provide it to you upon your request.
Final: The developer has been made aware of this recommendation.
24. [32.5.2(n) & (p)] The following will be required for final site plan approval:
- If lighting is proposed: Outdoor lighting information including a photometric plan and location, description, and
photograph or diagram of each type of outdoor luminaire [Sec. 32.7.8 & Sec. 4.17]
Final: Comment addressed.
- A landscape plan in accordance with [Sec. 32.7.9]. Final: Comment addressed.

Memorandum
To: Christopher Perez, Planning
From: Matt Wentland, Engineering
Date: 13 November 2019
Subject: Inglewood Terrace (SDP201600007) Rev. 7
The final site plan for Inglewood Terrace has been reviewed. The following concerns should be addressed;
1. Due to two conflicting stream studies, Staff requests that a third study be performed, either by a
third party agreed upon by both the homeowners and the developer or by the US Army Corps of
Engineers. This third study will determine whether or not a buffer will be placed on the parcels in
question and on all parcels downstream of the site.

2. Within the steep slopes overlay district, the maximum height of a single retaining wall is 6 feet
[18-30.7.5]. This plan proposes a 9' to 10' wall passing through an area designated as a managed
slope. Please adjust. Note that the minimum horizontal distance between individual walls in a
stepped wall system is 3 feet. Provide certified wall plans.
Comment addressed.
3. The width of drainage easements should be calculated using the formula found in the Design
Standards Manual (Easement Width = Pipe Diameter + 2' + 2(depth — 5') + 10').
Comment not addressed.
The 20' drainage easement will not provide enough space to replace the larger and deeper
pipes if the need arises. The easements should be expanded to the extent possible. The
Service Authority will allow the drainage easement to overlap their easements as long as it
doesn't go over the pipe itself. For example, this will allow the easement from B2-B3 to
expand to 30' or more.
(Rev. 3) Comment addressed.
4. The minimum width for a private road easement is 30'. [Design Standards Manual]
Comment addressed. (Rev. 7) Clearly label all the easement lines on the plan. Two lines are
shown close together south of the road and it's unclear what the inner line is. They also do
not appear to match the typical sections on C7.0. Label the sidewalk easement.
5. The minimum sight distance on a private road is 100' and the minimum K for a sag curve is 15.
[Design Standards Manual]

6. Verify that proper sight lines are provided at the parking on the inside of the curve on the private
road.
Comment addressed.
7. Show stationing on the road centerline on the plan view.

8. Provide a barrier or guard rail at the end of the private road.
Comment addressed. (Rev. 7) Comment not addressed.
9. VDOT normally requires a 45' radius for turnarounds on residential streets, but may not be
required due to distance from intersection.
Comment addressed.
10. The landscaping plan is showing trees planted inside the drainage easements directly over pipes.
Comment addressed.
11. Provide plans for the retaining wall and verification that there is no issue with the wall and wall
foundation being submerged during storm events.
Response noted. (Rev. 7) Provide signed and sealed retaining wall plans.
12. Additional erosion control measures should be used below ST1 to ensure runoff does not enter the
neighboring property. Demonstrate how ST1 will function during construction. It appears that it
will be filled in almost immediately when the storm system and fill slope are installed.
Response noted. See VSMP review for any further comments.
Comments for Final Site Plan (previously provided by Michelle Roberge and remain unaddressed on
plans)
13. Retaining walls greater than 4' require railing.
Comment addressed. (Rev. 7) Comment not addressed.
14. A separate road plan will need to be approved and bonded prior to the approval of a subdivision
plat.
Response noted. Additional items are needed before the road plans can be distributed
(emailed to Justin on 2/22/18).
15. VDOT approval is necessary for connection to public road and for improvements within their
right-of-way.
Comment addressed.
16. Show groundcover, not grass, for slopes greater than 3:1.
Comment addressed.
17. A VSMP application shall be approved prior to the approval of the final site plan.
Response noted. (Rev. 5) A VSMP submittal was not found with these plans. (Rev. 6) The
VSMP submittal is currently under review.
18. Verify guardrails are not warranted under GRIT manual. Otherwise, please show.
