b. The plan notes "...a 6ft maintenance easement is provided along all site property lines where the setback is
less than 4'11 "." To staff s knowledge, no such easement exists yet, but one will need to be provided before
the plat or plan for this development can be approved.
c. Remove note references to Carriage Houses. These lots do not contain Carriage Houses. There are currently
two (2) such references, one under "Setbacks" and the other is under "Notes".
d. The setbacks for the R4 and NMD zoning districts are different. Demonstrate on the plan map the setbacks for
the zoning district that applies to each lot.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Zoning.
a. Revise the proffer reference to instead state "...Neighborhood Model District (NMD) per ZMA2004-07 with
Belvedere Code of Development, as last revised on July 22, 2014. Refer to ZMA2004-07 for associated
proffers."
b. Remove the reference to the Airport Impact Area (AIA). This project does not fall within that overlay district.
4. [32.5.2(b)] Proposed uses. Include on the plan an overview table that identifies the proposed uses, with acreages. For
example, X acres for residential uses, X acres for open space, and total acres. (Is the reside parcel TMP 61-160R6 going to
be used as open space?)
[32.5.2(b)] Density calculations. In the Density Notes:
a. Refer to the original parcel by it's current TMP number (TMP 61-160R6)
b. If the overall R4 Density Calculations are going to be included on this plan, provide an exhibit which
demonstrates where these areas are located, in order for staff to confirm this information. (Note: This was also
a review comment for the associated plat for this project (SUB2019-102 Belvedere Phase IVA-2 — Final)
which is under review by staff. The applicant may want to reach out to the plat preparer — RGA — in order to
avoid duplicating efforts.)
6. [32.5.2(a)] Parcel information. On Sheet 2 "Existing Conditions", the text inside the subject property gives the acreage of
the proposed residue parcel. Provide instead the acreage of the current, existine lot.
7. [32.5.2(a)] Boundary dimensions. On Sheet 2:
a. Provide the boundary dimension on the property edge along Fowler St.
b. Remove boundary dimensions related to the subdivision of these parcels. It appears as though some
measurements were left "on" by mistake during the exporting of this sheet.
8. [32.5.2(a)] Abutting parcels. Supply the names of the owners, zoning district, tax map and parcel numbers and present uses
of abutting parcels.
9. [32.5.1(c), 32.5.2(n)] Building dimensions. Provide the dimensions of the building footprint for each townhouse unit.
10. [32.5.1(c)] Driveway dimensions. On Sheet 3, indicate if all driveways will be approximately 18ft deep and 16ft wide.
11. [32.5.2(b)] Parking. Indicate on the plan or in a map exhibit where all 21 guest parking spaces are located in the
development.
12. [Comment] Parking label. On Sheet 3, the on -street parking label at the bottom of the sheet points an area where 12 on -
street parking spaces should be provided (according to the label text), however the plan map only shows 11 parking spaces
provided here. Please review and revise for alignment.
13. [32.5.2(n)] Pavement material. Indicate the proposed paving material for the driveways and driveway aprons.
14. [32.5.20)] Drainage easement. On Sheet 4, connect the arrow indicating the location the Existing 10' Private Drainage
Easement with the linework for the easement.
15. [32.7.9.4(b)] Preservation of existing trees.
a. On Sheet 7, there appears to be a conflict between areas existing trees will be preserved and removed. The
"Limits of Clearing" infringes on the area marked as "Existing Tree Save" which is identified by both a large
stipple pattern and dashed boundary line. Are trees between the "limits of clearing" and proposed lots going to
be preserved or removed?
b. Indicate the type of protective fencing that will be used to preserve trees in the "tree save" areas.
16. [32.7.9.5] Landscaping along streets. To confirm, the street trees shown on Sheet 7 were approved with the final road plans
for Belvedere Phase IIB (SUB2016-213), correct?
17. [32.7.9.8] Tree Canopy.
a. The "Proposed Tree Save" square footage noted on the plan map label does not match the "Existing Tree
Area" square footage listed in the Plant Schedule table. Please review and revise.
b. Similarly, please ensure the canopy calculation table is correct if any changes are made per review comment
(a) above.
18. [Ablemarle County Engineering Policy] Reference the benchmarks used for surveys.
19. [General] Construction easements. Will any offsite easements be needed for the development of these properties?
