To: Craig Kotarski
From: Tori Kanellopoulos- Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: December 19, 2019
Updated February 20, 2020 with Fire/Rescue and VDOT Comments
Subject: SUB201900173 — Southwood Phase 1 — Preliminary Subdivision Plat
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plat referenced
above once the following comments have been addressed: [Each comment is preceded by the
applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
Planning (Tori Kanellopoulos):
Subdivision Ordinance Comments:
1. [14-302(A)(1)] Name: The name of the plat should include information on the blocks and
number of lots included with the application. Example: "Portion of Blocks 3, 4, 5, 7, and
8, Lots 1-41)".
2. [14-302(A)(4)(5)] and [14-317] Easements:
a. Show all proposed easements on each layout/site sheet, not just the grading
sheets.
b. The public drainage easements require a deed of dedication to the County. Staff
will send the required document to the applicant. County Attorneys Office
approval is needed.
c. The private drainage easements and access easements require maintenance
documents, such as through a HOA with covenants and restrictions. Provide this
documentation.
d. Coordinate with Engineering on the SWM easements and deeds. Reference [14-
431].
e. An access easement over the emergency access is needed, as it crosses lots.
f. Note that if any required landscaping is provided on a lot not owned/controlled by
the HOA, then a landscaping easement will be required.
g. Grading easements are needed for the grading done on parcel 90A1-1 D, since
this is `offsite' work. Easements must be provided for other improvements (such
as drainage pipes and the F/R emergency access).
3. [14-302(A)(8)] Proposed lots. Include a table of proposed lots by Block. This is a COD
requirement also.
4. [14-302(A)(9)] Building sites. Modify the building site note to the following: "Lots 1-41,
and the residue of Tax Map Parcel 90A1-1 E each contain a building site that complies
with section 4.2.1 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance".
5. [14-302(A)(11)] Instrument creating property.
a. Include the Deed Book and Page Number for the most recent plat for TMP 90A1-
1E and 90-1A.
b. Also include TMP 90A1-1 D in the notes on the first sheet of the plat, as
easements/improvements are shown on this parcel. Include its zoning district.
6. [14-302(A)(14)] Land to be dedicated in fee orreserved. Include the location, acreage,
and owner of all land to be dedicated to the public or reserved in a deed for the residents
of this development. This includes required open space, and any land that may be being
dedicated to the County. Clarify if any land is being dedicated for public use.
7. [14-303] Contents of a final plat. Note that the final plat submittal will also need to meet
the requirements of 14-303.
8. [14-409] Coordination/extension of streets: A "Stub out for future phases" is shown on
Sheet C4.1, where Road is connecting to Hickory Street, however Hickory Street is
existing. Clarify the stub out label, as it does not appear there should be a stub out in
this location.
9. [14-411] Public street standards. VDOT approval of the proposed streets is required, as
it appears they are intended to be public streets. The proposed streets should be labeled
as `public' on the plat, with their proposed road names. The public ROW should be
shown.
10. [14-414] and [14-430] Public water/sewer. Show and label ACSA easements on the plat.
11. [14-422] and [COD] Street standards.
a. Along the southern side of Road 1, include the following COD and Subdivision
Ordinance requirement: "Future sidewalk and planting strip along the south side
of Road 1a will be constructed during future phase, per COD requirement."
b. Label the 6' planting strip for each road (in the same way the sidewalks are
labeled).
c. Show and label the required bike lane on the climbing side of Hickory Street (per
the COD).
12. [14-428] Dedication of public streets and alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, SWM
facilities, bike trails, and pedestrian trails:
a. The agent shall require a subdivider to dedicate to the county for public use each
public street, including each non -constructed street extension as provided in
section 14-409, and including any required curb, curb and gutter, planting strip
and sidewalk, each drainage improvement for the public street.
b. Bike and pedestrian trails may also be dedicated to the County for public use.
Clarify if the proposed trail network will be dedicated to public use.
13. [18-30.7] Label the preserved slopes adjacent to proposed lots.
Zoning Ordinance Comments:
14. [18-4.11.3(C)] Structures and easements. The 10' private drainage easement on Lot 12
appears to be partially under the structure. The easement/utility should be revised.
15. [18-4.12.6] and [COD] Parking spaces required.
a. Include a table on one of the earlier sheets showing required and providing
parking for the residential units. Show how the required parking is being achieved
(i.e. driveways, garages, alleys, or street parking).
b. Show how the guest parking requirement is being met for the townhouse (SFA)
units: if parking is provided on individual lots, such as for duplexes and single
family attached townhouses, rather than in lots or bays that are shared by all
units in the development, then one guest space per four units shall be provided.
c. If any street parking is being provided that is contributing to required parking
spaces, show and label these parallel street parking spaces. If these spaces are
not yet required parking, but will be in the future, these spaces will need to be
labeled with future phases.

Review #1
Dear Mr. Wentland & Ms. Kanellopoulos:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Timmons Group, dated 30
October 2019, and offers the following comments:
1. Please show mill and overlay on plans in accordance with WP-2. Show limits of mill and
overlay to adjacent travel lane. Also, please add the WP-2 detail to the plans.
2. Please provide an MOT plan in accordance with the Virginia Work Area Protection
Manual. MOT plan should be on a separate sheet and designed for this project, include
the proposed mill and overlay.
3. Provide distances to nearest entrances or intersections on SR 631.
4. Please label SR 63I on the plan sheets.
5. Landscaping plants and trees adjacent to the sight distance triangle will need to be
maintained in area between 2 and 7 feet above ground as a clear zone to preserve sight
lines and accommodate pedestrians.
6. There are multiple pipe flow velocities that exceed 10 fps. The drainage manual states
that pipe velocities in excess of 10 fps are to be avoided. We recommend that velocities
be adjusted accordingly.
7. Several drainage structures on plan view do not appear to have designation labels
matching spreadsheets and profiles.
8. Please show how CD-1's will drain to structures.
9. CD-2 should be added to sag/inlet location for construction duration and to prevent
ponding prior to final topcoat of asphalt. Alternate methods to drain ponding areas will
be considered.
10. R/W needs to be 1 foot behind sidewalks.
11. Pavement design for new subdivision streets shall be developed using the
VirginiaDOT.org
WE KEEP VIRGINIA MOVING
December 20, 2019
Matt Wentland

20. Road section should not change within a section. Why does Road 1 change lane widths?
21. It appears the quantity of waterline ARV's could be reduced by lowering either the
waterline or the storm crossings.
22. VDOT drainage manual requires culverts to have a Max Hw/D of 1.5 and headwater
elevation should be no higher than 18" below edge of road.
23. Radii for road 2 & 3 do not meet the minimum 200' per road design manual.
24. The eye locations do not appear to be consistent with diagram on page B(1)-20 RDM.

RE: Southwood Redevelopment Village 1
Preliminary Subdivision Plat
SUB201900173
Ms. Kanellopoulos:
As requested, I've reviewed the Preliminary Plat (10/30/19) for the proposed redevelopment
referenced above. It appears all newly created lots will have access to public water and sewer
systems, so there's no issue there. However, there is no indication as to whether there are any
wells or onsite septic systems serving the existing mobile homes that are adjacent to the areas of
proposed construction, and our septic & well records for this community are weak.
My concern is that if there are any existing wells or drainfields that will be impacted by the
proposed development, locations and designs of replacement systems will need to be identified
prior to approval of the plat.
If there are any questions, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
Sincerely,
Alan Mazurowski
