Subject: SDP202000028 Proffit Rd Townhomes North — Final Site Plan (digital submittal)
The final site plan referenced above has been reviewed by the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department
of Community Development (CDD) and by other members of the Site Review Committee (SRC).
The Planner will approve the plan when the following items (from the Planner and from other SRC plan reviewers) have been
satisfactorily addressed and when all SRC plan reviewers have indicated in writing their tentative approvals. [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 (SDP202000028).
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.
a. Indicate on the plan whether this is a conventional or cluster development.
b. Include in the zoning notes that this parcel is subject to ZMA2018-06 and its associated proffers.
4. [4.19, 18.3] R-15 zoning district regulations.
a. If this is a conventional development, provide the size of each lot area (in square feet).
b. Revise the Side setback to align with Sec 4.19 for non -fill development.
c. Provide the Building Separation requirement (of IOft) as a separate line item.
5. [32.5.1(c)] Setbacks. Sheet C3 indicates that Lots 1-7 have a rear setback along Proffit Rd. Is this correct or will lots on this
block have two front setbacks? Review and revise the setbacks and labels accordingly.
6. [ZMA2018-06] Double frontage. If Lots 1-7 are intended to have their front building fagade face Proffit Rd:
a. A waiver will be needed to relieve this development of the requirement for screening of double frontage
residential lots, in accordance with Sec 32.7.9.7(a)(4).
b. Walkways connecting the front doors of Lot 1-7 to the sidewalk facilities along Proffit Rd will likely be
required.
7. [ZMA2018-06] Lot orientation. The placement/orientation of Lots 18-22 cannot be approved with this plan as they do not
align with the approved application plan. Remove this representative information from the plan.
8. [32.7.7, 4.16] Recreation Facilities.
a. Demonstrate that the minimum recreation area is being provided. The minimum recreation area needed for this
development is 10,800sf (54 units x 200sf per unit). The plan is currently showing 2,500sf of recreation area.
b. Demonstrate that minimum facilities required for tot lots are being provided, per Sec. 4.16.2.
c. Will footings for the tot lot play equipment conflict with proposed underground stormwater facilities?
d. Indicate the intended ground cover of the tot lot. See Sec. 4.16.1 for examples of appropriate materials.
e. Provide information/notes as required by Sec. 4.16.3:
i. 4.16.3.2 Recreational equipment and facilities shall be maintained in a safe condition and replaced as
necessary. Maintenance shall be the responsibility of the property owner if rental units or a
homeowners' association if sale units.
ii. 4.16.3.3 Recreational facilities shall be completed when 50 percent of the units have received
certificates of occupancy.
9. [32.5.2(d)] Managed Steep Slopes. Show managed steep slope locations on the existing conditions and site plan sheets.
10. [ZMA2018-06, 32.5.2(i)] Easements. An easement plat will be needed for the buffer areas required by Proffer #4 and the
proposed Stormwater Management Forest/Open Space easement. The easement plat will need to be submitted, reviewed,
approved, and recorded prior to final site plan approval.
11. [32.5.2(b)] Land use schedule.
a. Is the lot 7.59 acres or 7.29 acres? The deed book reference and square footage indicated in the Land Use
Schedule total, 317,552sf both indicate the lot is 7.29 acres in size. Revise the site acreage provided on the
plan maps sheet or clarify the source of this acreage.
b. Is the Land Use Schedule providing the amount of impervious surface cover on the site?
c. How are driveways being accounted for within the table?
12. [32.5.2(n)] Driveways.
a. Are the driveways for Lots 23-20 meant to extent to the building? Review and revise if necessary. Also, please
note that a change may impact the proposed land use schedule.
b. If not provided already, indicate the proposed paving material for the driveways.
13. [32.5.2(b)] Open spaces. Since northern portions of the lot will be used for open spaces and to meet canopy requirements,
show the entire parcel on the existing conditions sheet and/or provide bearing distances and ties/monuments with the
Landscape Plan.
14. [32.7.9.4] Existing wooded area. On Sheet C2, indicate whether the existing wooded area is composed of evergreen,
deciduous, or a mix.
15. [32.5.2(n)] Trash. Indicate how trash will be handled for this development.
16. [32.5.2(a)] Abutting parcel information. Provide the names of owners, zoning district, tax map and parcel numbers and
present uses for all abutting parcels that are adjacent to areas where development is proposed.
17. [32.5.2(a)] Departing lot lines. Show the departing lot lines of parcels abutting the subject property along State Route 649.
18. [32.5.2(f)] Watershed. Revise watershed to "North Fork Rivanna (below water intake)".
19. [32.5.2(a)] North. Review and revise the north arrow on Sheet C8.
Comments required for Final Site Plan approval that may also apply to the associated Road Plan (SUB2020-55):
20. [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.
21. [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.
22. [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-2-1B 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.
23. [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.
24. [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.
25. [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.
26. [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.
