Comments from SDP20180021 - Brookhill Block 3A Initial Site Plan Action Letter:
[32.5.2 (i)] Please address the following comments related to road improvements:
a. Per staff discussion with Ryan Yauger and Alan Taylor on May 18, 2018, Road 1 B will be constructed and dedicated
as a public street. During a follow-up conversation with Ryan Yauger and Alan Taylor on June 1, 2018, County staff
identified the "Neighborhood Street" cross section as the applicable road type for Road 1B (Figure 8 on page 25 of
the Code of Development). This street type requires one side of on -street parking, in addition to two vehicle travel
lanes. The final site plan and road plans for Road I will need to include on -street parking on one side of the street.
Comment addressed. Road 113 is being designed to the Neighborhood Street standard and is under review
through SUB2018-115.
b. A variation to the Code of Development will need to be approved by the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors in
order for Road 113 to be designed to the "Connector Road" cross section as shown in Figure 9 of the Code of
Development. This cross-section requires bike lanes on both sides of the street and no on -street parking. Please submit
the following APPLICATION and all supplemental materials to justify the request. Please be aware that the road
plan application for Road 1B and final site plan application for Block 3A cannot be approved prior to Board of
Supervisor approval of the variation request. Comment addressed. Road 113 is being designed to the
Neighborhood Street standard and is under review through SUB2018-115.

through the road plan application for the proposed Road 1B. The final site plan for Block 3A will need to accurately
depict all improvements within the right-of-ways visible on the plans. Comment addressed.
e. Please label all roads visible on Block 3A final site plan with a width measurement and state whether the road is
public or private. Prior to final site plan approval, all street right of ways that have been dedicated to public use should
feature a label stating the deed book and page number of the recorded instrument. Comment not fully addressed. The
road plans have not yet been approved and the right of way has not yet been platted and recorded. The final site plan
will need to be revised to include the instrument numbers for the Road 1 B right of way prior to final site plan approval.
Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. SUB201800115 still under review. Right of ways have not yet been platted or
recorded. Once this is done, please add deed book and page references to all applicable drawings. Rev. 2: Comment

2. IZMA2015000071 Based on discussions with County staff, the final site plan will show different entrance door locations to
satisfy the primary building entrance requirements of Section 3.1 and relegated parking standards of Section 2.9 of the Code
of Development. Staff will evaluate this further at the time of final site plan submittal. Comment addressed.
a. If the open space to the north of the proposed ice rink building will be a civic/greenspace area, the primary entrance
may be move there to meet the architectural requirements of Section 3.1. Comment addressed.
3. [General Comment] Please be aware that the travelway that stubs to the north of Block 3A cannot be classified as a street
that will satisfy parcel frontage requirements for future uses to the north of the ice rink in Block 3A. New streets will need to
be provided for future lots created to the north of the Block 3A ice rink parcel. Comment addressed. Applicant has
acknowledged in the response letter to the Block 3A initial site plan comments that the travelway cannot be counted
as a street for parcel frontages to future blocks north of 3A.
4. [32.5.2 (a)] Please provide information on the proposed parcel/lot for Block 3A. Will a new parcel be subdivided to contain
all of the required improvements, landscaping, and the building shown on the Block 3A initial site plan? Based on the
"proposed ROW" line shown on the drawings and the extent of Road 1 B proposed to be constructed, it is difficult to determine
whether another segment of road will be constructed along the "proposed ROW" line, or if that will be a parcel line. Comment
not fully addressed. The site plan does not show the full property boundaries of Block 3A. The southern and eastern property
lines are shown, but not the northern and western lines. Please revise the drawings and ensure that a property line is shown
that meets the 300' — 650' block len tg h requirement. See comment #21 and #34a below regarding moving the property lines
to include the loading space and required landscaping behind the ice rink. A subdivision plat to create the Block 3A parcel
will need to be submitted, reviewed, approved, and recorded prior to approval of the final site plan. Rev. 1: Comment not
fully addressed. The western and northern proposed property lines are still not labeled or called out on the site plan. There
is a label for "EOP" on the site layout drawings, but the legend on Sheet C-101 states that this means "Edge of Pavement."
Rev. 2: Comment not fully addressed. Proposed property lines are shown. However, Block 3A parcel has not yet been
created. Once the parcel is subdivided, please show the correct property lines on all applicable drawings and state the DB
and page number for the recorded instrument of the plat. Rev. 3: Comment stands. Once the parcel is subdivided, please show
the correct property lines on all applicable drawings and state the DB and page number for the recorded instrument of the
plat. Rev. 4: Please state the new TMP number on Sheet C-101, and state that the new block 3A parcel was also created
by the plat referenced in the note.
a. Block 3A should be located in a parcel meeting the block characteristics specified in Table 2.2.2 and Table 2.3.2.2 of
the Code of Development. This includes minimum/maximum block length, setbacks, relegated parking, minimum
required parking and landscaping, etc. Comment not fully addressed. The site plan does not show the full property
boundaries of Block 3A. The southern and eastern property lines are shown, but not the northern and western lines.
Please revise the drawings and ensure that a property line is shown that meets the 300' -650' block length requirement.
See comment #21 and #34a below regarding moving the property lines to include the loading space and required
landscaping behind the ice rink. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. The western and northern proposed property
lines are still not labeled or called out on the site plan. There is a label for "EOP" on the site layout drawings, but the
legend on Sheet C-101 states that this means "Edge of Pavement." Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
b. The south building wall which fronts the proposed Road 113 does not currently meet the maximum 25' front setback
required by Section 2.3.2.2 of the Code of Development. The building should be moved closer to the proposed right
of way/parcel boundary. Based on discussions with Ryan Yauger and Alan Taylor on June 1, 2018, the Road 1B
right of way will be straightened and moved further north so that the south building fagade meets the maximum 25'
front building setback. Comment addressed.
5. [32.5.2 (a)] The land area of all blocks in Brookhill may not be modified more than 15% of the gross land area shown in
Table 2 (page 6) of the Code of Development. Please be aware that the proposed gross land area of Block 3A plus 3B is
currently modified by 13% (0.7 acres less than the acreage specific in the COD), according to the Block Area Summary on
Sheet C-106. The Block Area Summary does not include the proposed acreage of Block 4C, and the Phasing Plan on Sheet
C-106 shows a much smaller Block 3B boundary than the ZMA201500007 Application Plan. Shifts in boundaries of Blocks
1-4 should be carefully considered to ensure that the acreage modifications do not surpass the maximum 15% allowed by the
Code of Development. Comment addressed. Applicant acknowledges the maximum modification of 15% for any block,
and Block 3A is still within the modification percentage permitted according to Sheet C-107 Block Area Summary.
6. [32.5.2 (a)] Prior to final site plan approval, please revise Sheet C-100 and Sheet C-102 so that the correct Tax Map Parcel
numbers for the Block 3A Ice Rink are shown. All TMPs within Brookhill are currently listed, but Block 3A appears to only
be within the parcel currently identified as TMP 46-19133. Comment not fully addressed. The TMP numbers provided on
Sheet C-101, and C-103 are not correct according Albemarle County GIS. Block 3A appears to only be within the parcel
currently identified as TMP 46-19133. Please ensure the appropriate TMP numbers are shown on Sheet C-101, and show the
correct TMP numbers in the parcel labels on the Existing Conditions drawings. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. Sheet
C-101 does not state TMP 46-19B3 as one of the parcels. Also, TMP 46-19 should be removed since this TMP no longer
exists. Sheet C-102 should also remove reference to TMP 46-19, and TMP 46-19B3 should be added. Rev. 2: Comment
addressed.
a. Please revise the owner name listed on the Cover Sheet because it is incorrect. Albemarle County GIS identifies the
owners of TMP 46-19A, TMP 46-19B1, TMP 46-19133, TMP 46-19134 as Crockett Corporation, address of 435 Park
Street, Charlottesville, VA 22901. Comment Addressed.
7. [32.5.2 (a)] There is currently a two -lot division plat under review to create the Block 4B parcel, and this may be approved
and recorded prior to final site plan submittal for Block 3A. On the Block 3A final site plan, please show and label all existing
parcel boundaries with dimensions. Please be aware that the TMP numbers and parcel acreages may change between the
initial and final site plans for Block 3A. Staff may request that the tax map numbers, parcel acreages, and ownership
information be updated on the final site plan to reflect any recorded plats that may be approved prior to the Block 3A final
site plan approval. Comment not fully addressed. A boundary line adjustment plat is currently under review. Additionally,
staff was informed by the developer that a new parcel will be subdivided around the improvements proposed as part of the
Block 3A final site plan. Prior to final site plan approval, the correct TMP numbers and boundary lines must be shown on
Sheet C-101, C-103, and all other applicable drawings. The property labels should include the TMP number and most recently
recorded instrument for any subdivision plats that create new lots. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. The Block 3A parcel
has not yet been subdivided. Prior to final site plan approval, the correct TMP numbers and boundary lines must be shown on
Sheet C-101, C-103, and all other applicable drawings. The property labels should include the TMP number and most recently
recorded instrument for any subdivision plats that create new lots. Rev. 2: Comment stands, the Block 3A parcel has not yet
been subdivided. Prior to final site plan approval, the correct TMP numbers and boundary lines must be shown on Sheet C-
101, C-103, and all other applicable drawings.The property labels should include the TMP number and most recently recorded
instrument for any subdivision plats that create new lots. Rev. 3: Comment stands. Once the Block 3A parcel is subdivided,
please ensure that the correct TMP numbers and DB and page numbers are stated in the labels across all applicable sheets.
Rev. 4: Rev. 4: Please state the new TMP number on Sheet C-101, and state that the new block 3A parcel was also
created by the plat referenced in the note. Since the property line now exists, please remove "Prop" from the property

Comment addressed.
13. 132.5.2 (a)] Please amend the "Associated Plans" section in the Zoning and Site Tabulations table on Sheet C-102. It should
be titled "Proffers and Code of Development ZMA201500007" and should state the November 9, 2016 approval date by the
County next to the Brookhill Code of Development. It should also state "Special use Permit SP201500025" with the approval
date of November 9, 2016. Comment addressed.
14. 132.5.2 (a)] Please add a line to the Zoning and Site Tabulations table on Sheet C-102 titled "Block Classification" with
"Urban Density Residential" as the block type for Block 3A, as stipulated by the Brookhill Code of Development. Comment
addressed.
15. [32.5.2 (b)] Per LOD201700025, the Zoning Administrator has determined that the proposed Block 3A ice rink is considered
an ancillary use, as described in Sections 2.2.2 and 2.3.2.2 of the Code of Development. Please amend the "Proposed Use"
section in the Zoning and Site Tabulations table on Sheet C-103. The proposed use should be "Ancillary Uses — Ice Rink."
Comment addressed.
16. [32.5.2 (b)] Per LOD201700025, the Zoning Administrator has determined that the ice rink is classified as an ancillary use
and thus is not subject to the maximum building footprint requirements in Section 2.3.2.2 of the Code of Development. Please
add a line to the Site Tabulations table on Sheet C-103 stating "Block 3A Ice Rink Maximum Permitted Building Footprint:
None, per LOD201700025." Comment addressed.

Yard Setbacks" on Sheet C-103. Comment addressed.
20. [32.5.2 (b)] Please state the square footage and acreage occupied by each use in this portion of Block 3A on Sheet C-103.
This includes the square footage of the proposed use, ice rink, and the overall building square footage. The parking calculation
for the ice rink states that it will measure 16,372 sq. ft., but the overall building will measure 35,000 sq. ft. What other uses
are proposed within the Block 3A building? Comment addressed.
4
a. Please be aware that recreation areas are classified as ancillary uses to residential uses, per Section 2.2.2 (page 10) of
the Code of Development. Per Table 5 Density Regulations (Page 15), ancillary uses do not count against the
maximum non-residential square footage permitted in each block. Comment addressed.
b. Additional parking may be required to accommodate other uses that may occupy this structure. Comment not
applicable per applicant response to initial site plan comments.
21. [32.5.2 (b) and 4.12.13 (d)] Due to the nature of the use, a minimum of one loading space should be provided within the
Block 3A area. Loading spaces must meet the design standards specified in Section 18-4.12.18 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Comment not fully addressed. The proposed loading space behind the ice rink structure needs to be located within the parcel
boundaries of the Block 3A ice rink property. Please amend all drawings to show the loading, space within the property, lines.
Otherwise, an offsite access easement will need to be platted granting the owners of the ice rink lot access to and use of the
loading space if it will not be located on the same parcel. Easement plat will need to be reviewed, approved, and recorded
prior to final site plan approval. Rev. 1: Proposed easement is shown. Prior to final site plan approval, the easement will need
to be created through approval and recordation of an easement plat. Once the plat is recorded, the site plan label for the
easement should be revised to state the deed book and page number of the instrument that created that easement and the
easement should be re -titled to "Private Access Easement" with a width measurement. Rev. 2: Comment stands, the private
access easement that will allow access to the loading space behind the building still needs to be created through an easement
plat application. This application has not yet been submitted, reviewed, approved, or recorded. Rev. 3: Comment stands, the
private access easement is shown on SUB201900117 which is currently under review. Once the plat has been recorded,
update the easement labels with the DB and page number as necessary. Rev. 4: Comment not addressed. The plat recorded
in DB 5274, pages 376-389 did not include the new private access easement. This easement will need to be recorded
prior to final site plan approval. Please submit an easement plat application for this proposed easement. See
Engineering comments for further information. Final site plan will need to be updated to include the DB and page
number of the recorded instrument. See Engineering comment #25.
22. [32.5.2 (a)] Per Table 2.3.2.2 of the Code of Development, please show the minimum and maximum setback lines locations
across all applicable drawings. Label each setback line as a front, side, corner side, or rear setback and state the dimensions
in the label. Setbacks should be measured from the proposed right-of-way. Comment not fully addressed. The minimum 5'
setback line and 25' maximum setback line shown behind the ice rink are incorrect; that lot line will be a side parcel boundary
according to the way the plan is currently drawn. Please show a minimum 5' side setback line (label correctly) and remove
the maximum setback line on all applicable drawings. There are no maximum side setbacks required in Urban Density
Residential blocks of Brookhill. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. Please add the words "Front" to the minimum and
maximum setback lines along Salamander Road setback labels. Add the word "side" to the minimum side setback line label.
Additionally, once the Block 3A parcel is subdivided, the rear (north) parcel line and minimum 10" rear setback line should
be shown on the site plan, as well as the side (west) parcel boundary line and minimum 5' side setback line. Rev. 2: Comment
addressed.
23. [32.5.2 (n)] Please add sidewalks along the driveway entrance into ice rink parking lot that connects to the 10' sidewalk in
front of the building. Comment addressed.
24. [32.5.2 (n)] Pedestrian crosswalks must be provided at all locations within the site where ramps connect sidewalks on opposite
sides of vehicular travel ways. Comment addressed.
a. Please label the dimensions and surface materials in compliance with the County's design standards. Comment

to the building in accordance with the Urban Density Residential block regulations Section 2.2.2 (page 10) of the Code of
Development. Comment addressed.
26. [32.5.2 (k)] Please show the location of all proposed sewer and drainage easements. Label as "proposed" with a size/width
measurement. Comment partially addressed. Please be aware that all required stormwater and drainage easements will need
to be reviewed, approved, and recorded through a sparate easement plat application prior to final site plan approval.. All
applicable drawings showing these easements should be labeled with the instrument number of the approved plat and deed
once it is recorded. These easements should also be noted as "private" easements. Rev. 1: Applicant has acknowledged the
site plan will need to be revised pending easement plat approval and recordation. Once the easement plat is submitted for
review, approved and recorded and the easement labels have been updated with the recorded instrument numbers, this
5
comment will be addressed. Rev. 2: Per applicant response, this comment has been acknowledged and stands. Once easement
plat is submitted for review, approval, and recordation, the easement labels will be revised to state the correct name of the
easements, their width, and instrument number. Rev. 3: Comment stands. Once SUB201900117 is recorded, please update
drainage easement labels as necessary to state the recorded plat and deeds of dedication. Rev. 4: The note on Sheet C-101
does not state the deeds of easement that were recorded with the plat. Please clearly state that Deed of Dedication and
Easement for public storm drain easements were recorded in DB 5274, pages 390-397. Deed of Dedication and
Easement for SWM access easements was recorded in DB 5274, pages 398-405. Deed of Dedication and Easement for
ACSA water and sewer easements recorded in DB 5274, pages 406-409. Since these easements not exist, the plans
should revise the labels so that they do not say "Prop." but "Ex." in all easement labels on the plans. See Engineering
comment #20.
27. [32.5.2 (1)] Please label all utility easements as "proposed" with a size/width measurement. Comment partially addressed.
Pending ACSA comments, the water and sewer utility easements may need to be reviewed, approved, and recorded through
a separate easement plat application prior to final site plan approval. If ACSA will require this, all applicable drawings will
need to be updated to include the instrument number of the recorded plat/deeds for those easements. Rev. 1: Applicant has
acknowledged the site plan will need to be revised pending easement plat approval and recordation. Once the easement plat
is submitted for review, approved and recorded and the easement labels have been updated with the recorded instrument
numbers, this comment will be addressed. Rev. 2: Per applicant response, this comment has been acknowledged and stands.
Once easement plat is submitted for review, approval, and recordation, the easement labels will be revised to state the correct
name of the easements, their width, and instrument number. Rev. 3: Comment stands. Once SUB201900117 is recorded,
Please update easement labels as necessary. Rev. 4: In the note on Sheet C-101, state the Deed of Dedication and Easement
for ACSA water and sewer easements recorded in DB 5274, pages 406-409. Since these easements not exist, the plans
should revise the labels so that they do not say "Prop." but "Ex." in all easement labels on the plans. See Engineering
comments.
28. 132.5.2 (n)] Please label the proposed surface materials for all parking lots, travel ways, walkways, etc. Comment addressed.
29. [32.7.9] All required street trees within the right of way of Road 1B will be reviewed and approved with the road plan
application, SUB201800115. The final site plan should contain labels stating which landscaping items are proposed with the
Block 3A site plan, and which are part of the road plan application. Comment not fully addressed. On Sheet C-301, please
add the road plan application number to Note 2. Please add the road plan application number to the callout on Sheet C-701
and Note 1 on Sheet C-701. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
30. [32.5.2 (n)] Please state the height of all proposed fences and retaining walls in the labels used on the drawings. Profile view
details of all proposed fences, retaining walls, and constructed screening measures will be required with the final site plan.

final site plan for Block 3A. Comment addressed.
33. [32.7.9] Please revise the calculations on Sheet C-702. The landscape schedules do not include a column that states the
canopy coverage area per plant species. The canopy area for each species can be found on the Albemarle County
Recommended Plants List and Albemarle County Plants Canopy Calculations tables. PDFs of these documents can be
accessed through the Department of Community Development webpage: LINK. Comment addressed.
a. Staff cannot verify if the provided trees meet the minimum 5% canopy required for the parking lot without the canopy
figures shown on the drawings. Comment addressed.
34. [32.7.9.8 (a)] On Sheet C-702, please provide a calculation for the minimum tree canopy required and proposed in Block 3A
based on the use type. The minimum tree canopy is 10% for this portion of Block 3A. Comment not addressed. The Tree
