From: Tori Kanellopoulos — Senior Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: July 10, 2020
Subject: SDP202000048 - Southwood Village 1 - Final Site Plan dated 04-06-20
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department
Community Development will recommend approval of the plan referred above when the
following items 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.]
Planning (Tori Kanellopoulos)
1. Code of Development and Flex Uses:
a. Include the flex unit requirements from the COD in the site plan as a
sheet.
b. Include a table to track flex units, showing how each is meeting the
requirements per the COD (e.g. GFA, height, setbacks, parking). Although
no flex units are proposed with this site plan, the table should be included
with each site plan application, to make tracking more straightforward.
2. 18-4.6 Lot regulations. Label Lot 40 as a "Special Lot", since it is used for open
space only.
3. 18-4.7 and COD Open Space:
a. Label the individual recreation/amenities provided on the plan on Sheet
C4.06. For example, label the different parks, tot lot, garden, etc. (and
include the square footage of each).
b. Trail/Path amenity should be 0.23 AC in Block 1 and a total of 1.05 AC.
c. Total green space in Block 2 should be 1.4 AC and a total of 10.41 AC.
d. Maintenance and ownership documents, to be reviewed and approved by
Planning and the County Attorneys Office, are required prior to final plan
approval (may also be completed with final plat): Open space in private
ownership shall be subject to a legal instrument ensuring the
maintenance and preservation of the open space that is approved by the
agent and the county attorney in conjunction with the approval of the
subdivision plat or site plan.
4. 18-4.11 Structures and easements:
a. All utilities need to be shown on the landscape plan. Utilities need to be
shown more clearly on the landscape plan — the storm pipe is difficult to
see. The storm pipe should match the key symbol:
b. Several trees conflict with utilities, especially along Road 1. Trees cannot
be placed on top of storm pipes.
5. 18-4.12.6 Parking space requirements: Recommend show grey dashed line for
garages for Lots 14-23, instead of grey line for 14-18 and black line for 19-23.
6. 18-4.12.16 Design standards and parking:
a. 18' for each on -site (driveway) parking space is needed. Extend driveways
so that 18' on -site (and off the sidewalk) is provided for each space.
Driveways appear to have a very small portion located within the public
ROW. Driveways must be onsite.
b. The edge of Lot 32 does not quite meet the 18' driveway requirement.
7. 18-4.17 Lighting: There is spillover of greater than 0.5 footcandles onto Lots 10,
11, and 12.
8. 18-32.5.2 Contents of an initial site plan and 18-32.6.2 Contents of a final site
plan:
a. Include the following requirement — written out as a note on Sheet C0.0:
All water and sewer facilities to be dedicated to public use and the
easements for those facilities and shall be identified by a statement that
the facilities are to be dedicated to the Albemarle County Service
Authority.
b. Show/label adjacent Old Lynchburg Road and its ROW on applicable
sheets (where visible). The ROW needs to be clearly labeled on the
layout and grading sheets, especially where adjacent to the trail and
Block 2.
c. More clearly show any existing easements and show them on applicable
sheets. DB 2984 PG 688 Private 20' Sanitary Sewer Easement is not fully
shown on the Existing Conditions sheet and does not appear to be shown
on the layout/grading plans. Is this easement being abandoned or
adjusted?
d. Revise the date of the final site plan and include the latest date of revision.
9. 18-32.7.9 Landscape plan:
a. 18-32.7.9.4 Landscape plan/preservation of existing trees. Include the
signed Conservation Checklist with the landscape plan, not within other
sections of the site plan.
b. 18-32.7.9.5 Street trees. Ensure street trees match final layout/count on
Road Plan as well. There are still conflicts with utilities. Trees cannot be
on top of pipes.
c. 18-32.7.9.5 Street trees and easements. Provide a landscape easement
on Lot 8 for the street trees on the side of that lot.
d. 18-32.7.9.7 Screening. Also label the fence on the plan sheet itself, not
just in the notes.
e. Comment: Ensure the existing accessory structures are removed from all
sheets (except existing conditions). They still appear on the landscaping
plan.
10. Code of Development and Open/Green/Recreation Space: Trail buffer: IV-
WR does not appear to be on the plant list included on Sheet L1.02.
11. Code of Development and Retaining Walls: Label any retaining walls shown
on the site plan and include the height of each retaining wall on the plan (e.g.
Retaining Wall: Max 4'). Note that the COD limits retaining wall height to a
maximum of 6'.
12. Housing Mixture Plan: Include an expanded table of the Housing Mixture Plan
approved with the rezoning on each plan/plat submittal, so that Planning can
track this Housing Mixture Plan as it is filled out over time. See Attachment 8
from ZMA201800003 for reference. The Plan must be reviewed by the Housing
Planner.
13.Additional applications: The following applications and approvals are required
prior to final site plan approval:
a. 18-32.7.4.2 and 18-32.7.5.3: Easement Plats: All new and adjusted
easements must be shown on an easement plat or on a final subdivision
plat, which must be approved prior to final site plan approval, and must
match the final site plan. Maintenance documents are required for all
required improvements, and documents for private
easements/improvements must meet the standards in 14-317.
b. 18-32.7.4.1: Approval of a VSMP Plan is required prior to final site plan
approval. See Engineering comments.
c. 18-32.7.2.2 and Ch. 14: Road Plan approval is required prior to final site
plan approval.
d. Ch. 14: A final subdivision plat will be required to subdivide the lots. This
can be completed before or after final site plan approval. Note that all
required easements must be approved and recorded prior to final site plan
approval.
