Keane,
We have reviewed the above referenced plans and have the following comments:

1. Road B must terminate at Road D to match the approved ZMA20180006. Also interconnectivity
must be shown as illustrated on the same approved ZMA.
2. Provide storm calculations to go along with the profiles shown on sheet C13.
3. Topography is older than a year. Please provide a date in which it was field verified.
4. Show the managed slopes on the property.
5. Ensure parallel parking spaces meet requirements (9ftx20ft).
Planning (Daniel Butch)
1. Transportation Planning: For pedestrian interconnectivity provide crosswalk ramps extending
from sidewalk on Road D in front of lot 29; additionally crossing Road A in front of lot 45 to lot
31.

Memorandum

From: Mariah Gleason — Senior Planner

Date: April 29, 2020
Subject: SUB202000055 Proffit Rd Townhomes North — Road Plans
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plat referenced above once the following
comments 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. [32.5.2(a)] Application ID. Include the application ID on the Cover Sheet (SUB202000055).
2. [32.5.2(a)] Tax Map Parcel. Provide the unabbreviated tax map and parcel number in at least one place in the plan. Staff
suggests providing this information on the Cover Sheet.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Zoning notes. Include in the zoning notes that this parcel is subject to ZMA2018-06 and its associated proffers.
4. [ZMA2018-06] Proffer #2. Show the right-of-way improvements along Proffit Rd per the plan view map shown on Sheet 3
and the cross-section shown on Sheet 1 of the approved application plan.
5. [ZMA2018-06] Internal street network. The internal street network shown on the plan is not in alignment with the
application plan and proffers associated with ZMA2018-06. To adhere with the approved application plan, Road B must
terminate at its intersection with Road D.
6. [ZMA2018-06, 32.7.2.2(d-e)] Extension and coordination of streets. County Code requires all streets within a development
to extend and be constructed to the abutting property lines. To meet this requirement:
a. Show construction of proposed Road D up to the property line of TMP 32A-2-113 and secure any off -site
construction or grading easements that may be needed to allow the construction of Road D up to the property
line.
OR
b. Provide documentation to demonstrate that the abutting landowner will not grant the easement, show
construction of proposed Road D as close to the abutting property line as possible, and grant the necessary
easement area to allow the future extension/connection of Road D to this parcel boundary in the future. Note:
The easement plat will need to be submitted, reviewed, approved, and recorded prior to final site plan
approval.
[32.5.2(b), 4.12] Parking.
a. The required parking for this development is 122 spaces. Per Sec. 4.12.6, this development is required to
provide one guest parking space per four units (54/4=14 spaces). With this addition, the required parking for
this development is 122 spaces (108+14). Review and revise the Parking Schedule on the Cover Sheet
accordingly.
b. There is a discrepancy in the proposed widths of on -street parking spaces. The plan maps indicate spaces will
have a width of 8ft while the ROW Cross Sections provided on Sheet C10 indicate on -street parking spaces
will have a width of 9ft. Please review and revise to align this information and provide on -street parking space
widths of 9ft, in accordance with Sec. 4.12.16.
8. [32.7.9.4] Landscape Plan.
a. Provide a scale bar.
b. Since this is not an infill development, where existing utilities are already in place, street trees will be required
on both sides of the entire lengths of Road A and Road B. Revise the Landscaping Plan to include street trees
in front of Lots 50-45 and on the eastern -facing sides of Lots 37-38.
c. All required street trees must be provided with this site plan, not a future site plan. Please revise the
Landscaping Plan accordingly.
d. Remove Note 5 from the Landscape Plan. The scheduled street trees are being used to meet the tree canopy
requirement for this development. As such, tree species cannot be substituted since different species have
different canopy covers.
e. Is the last tree species provided in the Interior Street Tree Schedule supposed to be a Nyssa sylvatica (black
gum) or a Quercus palustris (pin oak)? The schedule currently specifies "Nyssa sylvatica (pin oak)", which
appears to be a clerical error.
9. [32.5.2(i)] Street names. Provide street names for new roads. Proposed names will need to be reviewed/approved by E911
prior to final site plan approval.
10. [32.5.2(m)] Nearest intersection. Adjust the nearest intersection distance labels on Sheet C3 so they are on top of the
hatched pattern(s). Current layering makes it difficult to read these labels.
11. [32.5.2(a)] North. Review and revise the north arrow on Sheet C8.
12. [Comment] This road plan application is only for the review/approval of improvements in the right-of-way. All other
information and improvements outside of the right-of-way are being reviewed with site plan application SDP202000028.
Please contact Mariah Gleason in the Planning Division by using m le�&albemarle.org or 434-296-5832 ext. 3097 for
further information.

Review #1
Dear Ms. Cox:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Shimp Engineering, dated 23
March 2020, and offers the following comments:
1. Provide turn lane warrants for Route 649.
2. Provide Route 649 entrance geometry.
3. Provide intersection sight distance lines and profiles for proposed roads within development.
Sight distance triangles do not appear to be shown per RDM appendix F, please see table 2-5
Intersection sight distance detail.
4. Add note stating "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."
5. Provide distances to nearest entrances or intersections on Route 649. Appears to be layer
stacking issues blocking legibility of information.
6. Has the entrance location for the proposed development across the street been determined?
As previously noted, these entrances should be in line with each other and will need to be
shown on the plans.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Please remove trees within 30 of intersections per B(1)-44 RDM.
10. Pedestrian cross walk warrant is required for mid -block crossings. Mid -block crossings are
crossings not associated with stop locations.
11. Road stub -outs are not consistent. Please explain.

WE KEEP VIRGINIA MOVING
12. Road `B" stub appears too steep and should be made more level and will require permanent
stormwater control measures to prevent erosion.
13. Road B has 160' short length radius. 200' is the minimum.
14. Road stub -outs will require barricades and signage for end of road/dead end.
15. Plan appears to show bollards and will need to be labeled and detailed in plan.
16. Please show/detail the Emergency Access construction. Will it be reinforced turf?
17. Planting plan does not have a scale, but appears to be 1"=40'
18. Due to the level of items noted in this review, these comments may not be exhaustive.
19. Please provide a comment response letter with each submission after the initial.
If further information is desired, please contact Max Greene at 434-422-9894.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process.
