Subject: SUB201900102 Belvedere Phase IVA-2 Final
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)(6), 14-303(A), 14-302(A)(15)] Tax Map and Parcel references. Due to a recently approved subdivision for this
development, the parcel name of the subject property has been changed. Please review and revise all application materials to
refer to this property as TMP 61-160R6. Please note that the statement of consent and owner information will also need to
reflect the new parcel ID. Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
2. [ 14-302(A)(11)] Instrument creating property. Relatedly, please list the most recent instrument which created the subject
property, TMP 61-160R6, previously TMP 61-160. Rev. 1: Comment not satisfied. The Preliminary Plat Exhibit and the
Final Plat site two different instruments as having created the property (DB 5193 PG 462 and DB 5169 PG 566). Align both
references to the correct instrument. Rev. 2: Comment satisfied.
[ 14-302] Preliminary Plat Exhibit. Rev. 2: Comments satisfied. Thank you.
a. [14-302(B)(5)] Zoning. The Preliminary Plat Exhibit should:
i. Specify, in the notes, the setbacks for the NMD and R4 zoned areas. Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
ii. Graphically demonstrate the setbacks on the plat map. (Note: In reading through the side setback
regulation notes for the NMD zoned lots, the side setback states: "Where a site setback of less than
4'l1 " is used, a 6' maintenance easement shall be recorded on all properties adjacent to the side
setback of less than 4'l1".) Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
b. [14-302(B)(5)] Variation Notes. Please confirm that all approved variations for this development are captured
in the zoning notes. Rev. 1: Comment updated. Due to the many revisions and variations associated with this
development, including approximately 59 variations, staff recommends to instead revise the NMD zoning note
on the left side bar to state: "NMD per ZMA2004-07 with Belvedere Code of Development, as last revised on
July 22, 2014. Refer to ZMA2004-07 for associated proffers." Rev. 2: Comment satisfied.
c. [14-302(A)(12)] Topography. Revise the topography information to include contour labels throughout. Labels
are currently provided on what will be the residue portion of the property, however, proposed lot areas do not
have labelled contours. Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
d. [14-302(B)] Scale. Provide a scale bar and text. Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
e. [14-302(B)] Orientation. Staff suggests using the same orientation on the Preliminary Plat Exhibit as was used
in the Final Plat packet. Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
Rev. 1: Thank you for addressing review comments above. Additional comments based on the revised preliminary
plat exhibit (dated August 22, 2019) are provided below. Rev. 2: Comments satisfied. Thank you.
f. [ 1 4-302(A)(4)] Private easements. The 10' Private Strom Drain Easement was not found within deed
instrument DB 5169 PG 566, as stated in the note at the top left corner of the sheet. Provide the instrument that
recorded this easement.
g. [ 1 4-302(A)(4-5)] Easement. Demonstrate and provide evidence of the 6' maintenance easement along all side
property lines in the NMD zoned district where the side setback is less than 4' 11".
h. [14-302(B)(8)] Yards. Replace the NMD yard notes with the following table taken from the Belvedere Code of
Development (COD), last revised July 22, 2014. Alternatively, ensure that information provided on the plat
aligns with the following table and is inclusive of all relevant development information. (Note: It appears some
footnotes may be referenced incorrectly on the plat.)

4. [ZMA200400007] Area Summary Tables for Density. Remove information regarding area summaries and densities from the
Preliminary Plat and, instead, provide this information as part of the Final Plat package. Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
[14-302(B)(8)] Yards. Rev. 2: Comments satisfied.
a. Regarding the setbacks given in Note 40 9:
i. List all and only the building setback regulations for Townhouses as provided in Table 9 of the
Belvedere Code of Development, last revised 7/22/14. Rev. 1: Comment remains.
1. Are carriage houses still being included with this development proposal? If not, remove
references related to carriage houses.
2. Like review comment 3h above, replace the NMD yard notes with the table provided above,
taken from the Belvedere Code of Development (COD), last revised July 22, 2014.
Alternatively, ensure that information provided on the plat aligns with the following table
and is inclusive of all relevant development information. (Note: It appears some footnotes
may be referenced incorrectly on the plat.)
b. Regarding the setbacks given in Note 44 10:
i. Front = 5' minimum, 25' maximum (minimum and maximum being measured from the R/W or the
exterior edge of the sidewalk if the sidewalk is outside the R/W) Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
ii. Side = 5' minimum, unless the building shares a common wall as provided in Sec. 4.19 (10' building
separation) Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
6. [ZMA200400007] Summary Table for NMD Zoned Area.
a. It appears the table totals are not adding correctly, horizontally or vertically. Ensure this issue is resolved in
future submissions. Rev. 1: Comment remains. There are still places the table is not adding correctly. Rev. 2:
Comments satisfied.
b. Many headings within the table are currently illegible. Please adjust so that each heading is legible. For
example, "Table 1 Maximum Residential Densities". Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
c. Density minimums and maximums provided in the NMD Summary Table do not appear to be accurate. Staff
will provide follow up comments in the form of an exhibit to the applicant to address these concerns.
(Note: If staff continues to fmd discrepancies in the table after such point, staff may require the applicant to
provide table footnotes referencing Variations associated with each change to the approved ZMA200400007,
per 14-302(B)(5).) Rev. 1: Comment remains. Staff provided a redlined copy of the tabular information to the
applicant on September 18, 2019 via email, however, several discrepancies were noted between what was
provided by staff and what was submitted by the applicant. Staff recommends the applicant request an in -
person meeting to discuss and rectify remaining discrepancies. Rev. 2: Comment remains. Please make
updates to the NMD charts provided on Sheet V5 and V6 as discussed over the phone today, March 9,
2020 around 1:45pm, with Roudabush.
d. Provide a title for this table. Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
[2.2.3, 4.7, 14-302(B)(5)] Area Summary Calculations for R4 Zoned Area. Rev. 2: Comments satisfied. Thank you.
a. Staff was unable to confirm that the size of the "Total Area of Lots in R4 Zone". The plat currently lists this
area as 4.047 acres, however previously approved Phase IVA-1 (SUB201800117) lists this area as 1.770ac and
Phase IVA-2 (this application) lists this area as 0.284ac, thus the total acreage should be 2.054ac (1.770ac +
0.284ac). Is there another area that is being included in these calculations? Rev. 1: Comment withdrawn.
Revised materials amended this section. See new comments given below.
b. If corrections are made to the total lot acreage, per the previous comment, please update the total acreage
accordingly. Rev. 1: Comment withdrawn. Revised materials amended this section. See new comments
given below.
c. Staff could not verify the total lot count provided. Phase IVA-1 provided 21 lots and Phase IVA-2, as
proposed, adds an additional 3 lots, thus the total lot count should be 24 (21+3). Please also remove the
parenthetical (Phase IVA-1 Only) from this line item on the plat, as this is incorrect. Rev. 1: Comment
withdrawn. Revised materials amended this section. See new comments given below.
d. Review and revise the calculation for "R4 Area Density" and provide the math to demonstrate how this metric
was obtained. Rev. 1: Comment withdrawn. Revised materials amended this section. See new comments
given below.
e. Review and revise the calculation for "R4 Open Space Percentage" and provide the math to demonstrate how
this metric was obtained. Rev. 1: Comment withdrawn. Revised materials amended this section. See new
comments given below.
f. Note on the plat that this development is required to provide a minimum of 25% open space, as specified in
Section 2.2.3 and Section 4.7 of the Zoning Ordinance. Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
Rev. 1: Follow up comments based on the revised materials (dated August 22, 2019) are provided below.
g. In the Area Summary notes on the cover sheet, remove the second "paragraph" of calculation
information, and instead add it to the R4 Density Calculations.
h. Provide an exhibit to demonstrate the mapped location and associated area measurements that are
contributing to the R4 Density Calculations. In the summary calculations, isolate the information to
show what development happened with each phase, and zoning district within each phase, and then
provide compiled totals resulting from both phases.
i. Site the deed book instrument that approved the previous phase of development.
8. [14-302(A)(9)] Building Sites Note. Notes 5 and 9 are redundant. Remove Note 9, as Note 5 is more aligned with/reflective
of the content of this application request. Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
9. [14-302(A)(8)] Carriage Houses. Are carriage houses anticipated on these townhouse lots? If not, remove Note 16 the
carriage house references in Note 9. Rev. 1: Question remains. Rev. 2: Comment satisfied.
10. [14-302(A)(4)] Private easements. Provide the deed book and page number for the private storm drain easement shown on
Sheet V4. Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
11. [14-303(C)] Curve Table. The Curve Table on Sheet V 1 does not appear to match the total lengths indicated on the plat
sheets. Please review and revise, particularly for Curve C 1. Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
12. [14-303(H)] Control Point Label. Adjust the control point label in the top right corner of Sheet V4 so it does not conflict
with the north arrow provided. Rev. 1: Comment satisfied.
13. [14-302(A)(2)] Vicinity map. The map provided is not clear enough to distinguish where the site is located. Please provide a
higher resolution image and also demonstrate where this phase is located in relation to the larger Belvedere development.
Rev. 1: Comment satisfied on both the Preliminary Exhibit and Final Plat.
14. [14-302(B)(1)] Resubmission. Reminder that revised plats must include the original date of drawing as well as a date of last
revision. Rev. 1: Continue with each new submission.
15. [14-317] Declarations. The County Attorney will need to approve the supplemental declarations before the final plat can be
approved. Rev. 1: Declarations currently under review but will need to be revised to reflect correct final plat information.
Rev 2: Declarations will need to be revised to reflect the last revision date of the final plat.
Additional comments based on the revised materials (dated August 22, 2019):
16. [14-302(A)(4-5), ZMA200400007] Easement. On the final plat, demonstrate and provide evidence of the 6' maintenance
easement along all side property lines in the NMD zoned district where the side setback is less than 4' 11". Rev. 2:
