This letter contains responses to County comments dated April 29t' 2020. Our responses are as follows: 1. [32.5.2(a)] Application ID. Include the application ID on the Cover Sheet (SUB202000055). App. ID added to cover sheet. 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 providing this information on the Cover Shee' Acknowledged, we replaced the short TMP with unabbreviated TMP 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. Note added to "ZONING" on cover sheet. 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. Required improvements shown on plan, cross section shown on C10. 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. Acknowledged, while this is correct, we anticipate that ZMA 2019-10 will be approved just prior to site plan approval, and have shown the layout in anticipation of this. A note has been added to C3 stating this. 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 Neighbors have been resistant to providing grading easements. 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 912 E. High St. Charlottesville, VA 22902 1434.227.5140 1 shimp-engineering.com parcel boundary in the future. Note: The easement plat will need to be submitted, reviewed, approved, and recorded prior to final site plan approval. We will get documentation from the abutting landowner. We are actually providing ROW extension (not esmt) all the way to the boundary line. This is shown with the subdivision/easement plat (which will be submitted very soon). 7. [32.5.2(b), 4.121 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. Note revised as requested. 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. This has been fixed to shown 9' width. 8. [32.7.9.4] Landscape Plan. a. Provide a scale bar. Scale bar added. 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. Updated to have street trees on both sides. c. All required street trees must be provided with this site plan, not a future site plan. Please revise the Landscaping Plan accordingly. Acknowledged, 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. Note 5 removed. 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. Tree species changed. Correct names are now provided. 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. Acknowledged. Proposed Road Names: Road A: Zelkova Drive Road B: Corner Oak Drive Road C: Hall Of Oaks Lane Road D: Flat Branch Lane 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. Labels moved out of hatch. 912 E. High St. Charlottesville, VA 22902 1434.227.5140 1 shimp-engineering.com 11. [32.5.2(a)] North. Review and revise the north arrow on Sheet C8. North arrow on C8 fixed to show correct orientation. 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. Acknowledged.
