Memorandum
To: Emily Cox, Albemarle County Engineering Division (ecox2@albemarle.org)
From: Mariah Gleason — Senior Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: April 29, 2020
Revision 1: July 8, 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). Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
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. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Zoning notes. Include in the zoning notes that this parcel is subject to ZMA2018-06 and its associated proffers.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
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. Rev. 1: Comment remains. During the review of
ZMA2018-06, road improvements to Proffit Road were identified to mitigate the traffic impacts and increased
vehicular trips associated with the up -zoning of this parcel. The resulting proffer (Proffer 2) will need to be provided
as part of the site/subdivision plan approval. The County would be happy to meet to discuss this comment if the
applicant desires.
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. Rev. 1: Comment remains. Staff acknowledges the applicant's response,
however, as ZMA2019-10 has not been approved, staff cannot approve the extension of Road B beyond the
intersection of Road D, since the design is inconsistent with the approved ZMA (ZMA2018-06) for the subject
property. Therefore, revise the road plan so Road B does not extend beyond the intersection with Road D.
6. [ZMA2018-06, 32.7.2.2(d-e)] Extension and coordination ofstreets. 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.
Revision 1: The comment response letter from the applicant indicates that documentation from the abutting
landowner, consistent with Comment 6b, will be provided to staff. The aforementioned documentation will be needed
before this comment can be resolved. In addition, provide information to demonstrate that the road is being built as
close as possible to the abutting property line and that a future connection can be built inside the right-of-way on the
subject property. If not, easements outside of the proposed right-of-way may be needed to ensure this segment of
roadway can be built in the future.
[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. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
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 CIO 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, it rdance with Sec. 4.12.16. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
c. [New] The driveway widths for Lots 23-30 will need to be increased to provide at least the minimum
parking space envelope of 9 feet wide and 18 feet long, as described in Sec. 4.12.16.
8. [32.7.9.4] Landscape Plan
a. Provide a scale bar. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
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 eastem-facing sides of Lots 37-38. Rev. 1: Thank you for providing
continuous street trees, however, some tree placements may create conflicts with proposed storm sewer
lines. Revise the landscaping plan to provide adequate separation between these two plan elements.
Planning staff will defer to Engineering on guidance related to the storm sewer line separation.
c. All required street trees must be provided with this site plan, not a future site plan. Please revise the
Landscaping Plan accordingly. Rev. 1: Comment acknowledged by applicant in the comment response
letter.
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. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
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. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
f. [New] The Landscape Plan map indicates 12 medium trees are being provided along Profiit Rd,
however the planting schedule table and landscaping notes indicate that 11 trees are being provided
here. Revise and align the map, planting schedule, and landscaping notes.
g. [New] Including the adjusted tree quantity for the street trees along Profit Rd, staff is only able to
confirm a 1.52 acre (66,409sf) tree canopy being provided by the revised plan, however the Landscaping
Plan notes a 1.53 acre canopy is being provided. While the canopy requirement is being met, there is
likely a rounding difference between the calculations of the applicant and staff. Please review and revise
as needed.
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. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
10. [32.5.2(m)] Nearest intersection. Adjust the nearest intersection distance labels on Sheet C3 so they are on top of the
hatched pattem(s). Current layering makes it difficult to read these labels. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
11. [32.5.2(a)] North. Review and revise the north arrow on Sheet C8. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
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.
13. [New] If not already provided, include a note on the road plan that all proposed right-of-way areas are hereby
dedicated to public use.
Please contact Mariah Gleason in the Planning Division by using meleason e albemarle.org or 434-296-5832 ext. 3097 for
further information.

Review #2
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 3
June 2020, and find the turn lane requirement has not been adequately addressed from the
rezoning ZMA-2018-00006.
7. Turn lane Warrant Analysis
V I)OT turn lane warrants were evaluated for the proposed site entrance per the turn lane warrant forms in
the V[X)T Road Dcsign Manual. Table 6 below summanzcs the turn lane warrant analysis results. VDOT
Road Design Manual turn lane warrant forms are provided in Appendix J.
As shown in Table 6, a 200 feet left turn lane with a 200 feet taper Is warranted for the proposed site
entrance.
The turn lane warrant was dated a year ago and should be updated to include both developments.
This office requests a turn lane warrant that encompasses both developments as this will soon be
a 4 way inersection.
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.
