The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plat referenced above once the following
comments, and those provided by other Site Review Committee, SRC, members, 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 to the Albemarle County Code.]
1. [14-302(B)(5), ZMA2004-18, ZMA2011-01, ZMA2019-07 (,,� approved 2/19/2020)] Proffers. Rev 2: Comment
addressed.
a. Revise Note 16 to quote the first paragraph of Proffer #4:
"Proffer #4. Trees: At least one hundred -seventy (170) tress shall be planted or retained on the subdivided
lots. Tres shall be distributed among all lots with a minimum of 5 trees per lot. The five trees to be counted on
each lot shall be marked in the field for inspection purposes. The owner shall not request a certificate of
occupancy until a final zoning inspection is performed and all required trees are in place... " Rev. 1: Per
applicant response, the review of this plat should continue even though ZMA2019-07 is not yet approved. The
wording of the proffers proposed with ZMA2019-07 should be stated on this plat. Revise Note 17 as follows
b. Revise Note 17 to quote Proffer #5 in its entirety:
"Proffer #5. Pedestrian Paths: Pedestrian paths shown on the Plan shall be constructed according to the
standards for Class A Type I pedestrian paths in the Albemarle County Design Standards Manual. The owner
shall not request that the County issue the ninth (9`h) building permit until the paths have been completed to
the satisfaction of the County Engineer. " Rev. 1: Per applicant response, the review of this plat should
continue even though ZMA2019-07 is not yet approved. The wording of the revised proffers proposed with
ZMA2019-07 should be stated on this plat. Revise Note 17 as follows to comply with the new wording of
ZMA2019-07:
c. Revise Note 18 to quote Proffer #9 in its entirety:
"Proffer #9. Architectural Standards: The owner shall require as part of the covenants for Fontana Phase 4C
that all structures be constructed using medium shaded earth -tone colors for fagade treatment of the buildings
and dark, non -reflective materials for roofs. The colors for the fagade treatments and the colors and materials
for the roofs shall be subject to prior approval by the Director of Planning. " Rev. 1: Per applicant response,
the review of this plat should continue even though ZMA2019-07 is not yet approved. The wording of the
revised proffers proposed with ZMA2019-07 should be stated on this plat. Revise Note 18 as follows to
d. Remove Note 19. This is not a proffer -related requirement. It is a requirement of the zoning district and,
therefore, should be moved to the setback notes (see review comment #7, below). Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
e. Please be aware that ZMA2019-07, which seeks to amend several proffers, is currently under review by the
County. If approved, some of these updates may require the plat to be amended, as they will alter requirements
of the physical development of the site. If possible, staff recommends waiting until review of ZMA2019-07 is
complete before finalizing the subdivision plat. This will avoid needing to amend the plat afterwards and pay
another review fee. Rev. 1: See comment responses to comment #1b and #lc above.
2. [14-302(A)(4-5), ZMA2004-18, ZMA2011-01] Trail easements. Include proposed pedestrian paths on the plat in
accordance with previously approved zoning map amendments for this property (e.g. ZMA2004-18 and ZMA2011-01).
Please reference SUB2017-102 Hyland Park Final Road & Utility Plan for the approved placement of the pedestrian paths
on Open Spaces C, D, and E as well as Lots 25 and 26. (Note: In accordance with ZMA2004-18, pedestrian path areas must
be at least 1 Oft wide.) Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. Further research into previous subdivision plats and ZMAs in
this area found that there is a 5ft pedestrian path easement recorded with the platting of Phase 4B (DB 3003 PG 415-429)
which runs on this subject parcel behind parcels TMP 78E-106, TMP 78E-105 and TMP 78E-104 and along the
southeastern edge of TMP-104, where new properties are proposed. With the update to the pedestrian plan, per ZMA2011-
01, these pedestrian trails are no longer required for this development. As such, locate these existing easements on the plat
and show their vacation. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
3. [14-401] Double frontage lots. Double frontage lots for single-family detached residential uses are prohibited. Currently,
there are two double frontage lots: Lots 33 and 34. Either redesign these lots to have a minimum of twenty (20) feet of
common area between the rear of the lot and the second street or an exception under 14-203.1(B) is needed prior to final plat
approval. (Note: In accordance with 14-419, double frontage lots must be screened according to the requirements of Sec 18-
32.7.9.7. Screening requirements can be varied or excepted as provided in Sec. 14-203.1.) Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
4. [14-303(E), 14-302(A)(8)] Dimensions ofproposed lots. Provide bearing and distance measurements along the side lot lines
for Lots 20-23. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
5. [14-302(B)(5)] Zoning. Revise Note 5 to state "...preserved and managed steep slope overlays..." to align with the name of
the regulatory overlay. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
6. [Advisory Comment] Staff recommends revising Note 6. This note should serve to limit each new residential lot to one
dwelling unit, not the entire subject property to one dwelling unit, as the current wording of the note may imply. Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
7. [14-302(B)(8)] Yards. Revise Note 15 to align with the zoning regulations for non-infill development in the R4 zoning
district, specifically:
a. Side: 5ft minimum; no maximum Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
b. Building separation: loft (Note: Please make this a separate line item) Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
c. Building Height: 35ft maximum Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Please add this note to Sheet VI. Rev. 2:
Comment addressed.
8. [14-303(G)] Ownership of common areas. Add pedestrian paths to Note 14, unless these paths will be dedicated to the
public. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
9. [14-303(S)] Control points. Provide at least four (4) control points, evenly distributed across the property and located at
survey property corners. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
10. [ 14-302(A)(2)] Vicinity map. Please provide a higher contrast or higher quality image for the vicinity map. Currently,
roadways are not distinguishable from parcel land areas. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
11. [ 14-317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. Prior to final plat approval an instrument evidencing
maintenance of storm and surface water drainage measures, open space, tree plantings associated with Proffer #4, street
trees, and pedestrian paths will need to be approved by the County Attorney. Submit the draft documents to Planning staff
for a cursory review and then I will forward them to the County Attorney for review/approval. Rev. 1: Comment remains.
Staff to forward revisions from County Attorney's Office. Rev. 2: Comment remains. Staff sent comments to the
applicant on January 21, 2020. Have revised maintenance agreements been submitted to the County?
12. [14-302(B)(5)] Please revise all zoning notes on Sheet V1 that state which ZMA applications apply to the properties.
Approved ZMA2019-07 should be added to all of these notes. Rev. 2: Comment remains. Zoning map amendment
ZMA2019-7 was approved by the Board of Supervisors on February 19, 2020. Therefore, revise Note 5 on the Cover
Sheet to include ZMA2019-7. Also revise the preamble sentence to the proffers provided on the Cover Sheet such
that the sentence states "The following proffers from ZMA2019-07 affect...".
13. [14-317] With the addition of private wall maintenance easements, these private improvements will need to be included in
Note 14 on Sheet V1, as well as in the maintenance documents (see comment #11). Rev 2: Comment addressed.
14. [14-302(A)(4), ZMA2019000071 Pedestrian Path Easements. The approved Road and Utility Plan for Hyland Park is
not a recorded instrument, therefore the references on Sheet V4 to the private pedestrian path easements will need to
be revised to both plat and record the pedestrian path easements shown on this plan, as proffered by ZMA2019-07,
and ZMA2011-01 before it. As such, review and revise Sheet V4 to:
a. Plat the area of the pedestrian path easement
b. Label these easement areas as "new", instead of "proposed"
c. The maintenance of this improvement will need to be included in the maintenance agreements (refer to
comment #11)
