(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.] Required Prior to Final Site Plan Approval: Planning (Tori Kanellopoulos) 1. 18-32.5.2 Requirements of an initial site plan. a. Ensure the final site plan submittal also meets all requirements for final site plans (18-32.6). b. Clearly show all lot lines. Some appear to be disconnected/incomplete. c. Include that the property is also within the Airport Impact Area AIA zoning district overlay. d. Include on sheet 1 that there is a Code of Development per ZMA201900001, latest revision date 01-29-20. e. Revise watershed note on sheet 1 — this property is not within a water supply watershed. f. Show the edge of the existing MUP along Belvedere Boulevard. g. Show any proposed ROW dedication. This will need to be completed with a plat. h. Label the distance of each ingress/egress to the centerline of the Rio/Belvedere intersection. 2. 18-4.6.1 Frontage. Note that all units in Block 1 must front on a public or private street (lots in Block 2 front on an amenity). If the multiuse path (MUP) becomes part of the ROW, the lots should front on the edge of the ROW/MUP. If the MUP does not become part of the ROW, the lot lines will need to extend to the ROW, and a public access easement will be needed over the MUP. 3. 18-4.6.1 Frontage. The amenity area for Block 2 must include a private street for frontage for Lots 11-21. The application plan for the ZMA also shows a private street. The private street easement must extend to the front of each lot for frontage purposes. This was done with Riverside Village as well.
