RE: SDP- 2005 -0117 Luxor at Pantops Preliminary Site Plan
Dear Sir:
The Planning Commission approved the critical slopes waiver and open space appropriateness for the above -
referenced site plan at its March 14, 2006 meeting with the following conditions:
[ 13.4.1 ] A conservation plan as specified in section 32.7.9 must be approved by the Zoning & Current
Development Division of the Department of Community Development with a copy of the original
conservation plan and all subsequent revisions to be submitted to the Zoning & Current Development
Division.
2. [14 -317, 18 -4.7] Submittal of covenants or other such instrument which evidences the establishment of
an owners' association and provides for ownership and maintenance of proposed open space. Such
document shall be subject to County Attorney review and approval and shall be in accordance with
Section 14 -317 of the Subdivision Ordinance - Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain
improvements.
The Department of Community Development hereby grants administrative approval to the above referenced
site plan.
The approval of the preliminary site plan is valid for (1) one year in accordance with Section 32.4.3.1 of
Chapter 18 of the Albemarle County Code. Therefore, the preliminary approval shall expire on March 17,
2007. If the preliminary site plan approval expires, a new application must be filed and processed.
Please address all of the requirements and conditions listed below and submit eight (8) tentative plan copies
to the Department of Community Development. This letter must be submitted with the tentative plans, as a
checklist, to document that you have addressed all requirements or conditions, or the tentative plan will be
denied.
Erosion and Sediment Control, BMP Stormwater Management, and road plans with the associated
applications and fees must also be submitted with the eight (8) tentative Plans.
Once the tentative plan is submitted and reviewed you will receive comments from all
departments /divisions /agencies that have made comment on the tentative plan. Any further responses
must be made directly to each department /division/agency that has further comment. After all
aforementioned departments /divisions /agencies have granted tentative approval, you must verify with
the Planner that you may submit the final mylars (2 sets), paper copies (2 sets), the final site plan
application, and final site plan fee to the Department of Community Development. Signing of the
plans will occur within one week once it is determined that the final site plan mylars reflect all
tentative approvals.
The final site plan will be subject to all final site plan requirements (Zoning Ordinance Section 32.6), in
addition to the following conditions.
The Department of Community Development shall not accept submittal of the final site plan for signature
until tentative approvals for the following conditions have been obtained:
Zoning & Current Development approval to include:
❑ [18- 32.6.3] Approval of a landscape plan in compliance with Section 32.7.9. Specifically
needing to meet the 20% canopy requirement;
❑ [I 8-32.6.6j and 18 -4.17] Submittal of a description and photograph or diagram and show
the location of each type of outdoor luminaire that emits 3,000 or more initial lumens.
Please be aware that installation of such luminaires in the future that are not shown on this
plan shall require an amendment to this plan;
❑ [ 18- 32.6.6.j and 18 -4.17] Submittal of a photometric plan on the site plan demonstrating
that parking area luminaires are in compliance with 4.17.4.b
❑ [18- 32.6.4.1] The final plan approval is subject to the issuance of a Certificate of
Appropriateness from the Architectural Review Board.
Please contact Francis MacCall at 296 -5832 if you have questions or require additional information.
Engineering approval to include:
❑ [18- 32.5.6d]The proposed grading must be provided. There are stray lines on the drawings
which are not understood. There appear to be significant errors with the grading around the
ponds. The proposed grading is cut off on sheet 9. There appears to be grading for the
recreation area and drainage items which are not complete.
❑ [32.5.6i] Existing and proposed streets must be provided. The Luxor roads are not all
existing as indicated on the plans. The phase III Luxor roads have not been approved. The
road plans for phases 2 and 3 in Luxor are approved. This plan has changed some of the
grading and drainage outfalls, and it is not clear on this plan what the divisions between the
two projects will be. Which proposed contours are for this plan, and which are for the road
plans?
❑ It has not been established that stormwater management has been accommodated for this
project. The approval of the stormwater management plan for the ponds was rescinded, due
to changes being made to the plans subsequent to approval, as reflected on road plan
revisions. In addition, the drainage areas and impervious cover assumptions of the pond
computations do not appear to agree with the preliminary site plan. The impervious
coverage and areas must agree with the computations and drainage area maps. The
stormwater management plan for Luxor has been re- approved. However, some of the area
assumed to be undeveloped in the stormwater management plan is proposed to be developed
on this plan. Corrections need to be made.
❑ Proposed changes to the pond areas must be approved on a revised stormwater management
plan prior to approval of the preliminary site plan. This plan has proposed changes to the
dam of Pond #2, a reduction in one of the forebays, and elimination of the access road to the
forebay, which must be replaced. The new stormwater management plan shows the spillway
for pond #2 being removed. However, that grading has changed with this plan, and one of
the forebays is still shown regraded. In addition, the access road to the forebays has not been
replaced. The site plan and stormwater plan must be revised to accommodate these changes.
❑ [18- 32.7.2.3, 14 -41OF, 18 -30.3] Principle access must be free of flooding and structures
also. Proposed units 145 -157, between the ponds, will not meet these requirements.
Overland flow relief must be accommodated. Overland relief away from the units must be
provided for the proposed development to be safe. The proposed development in this area is
still at risk of flooding and erosion if the pond outlet structures should fail.
❑ [ 18- 32.7.3, 14 -409] A parcel interconnection should be provided to the property line in front
of units 72 -73. Please show the road built to the property line with reservations for grading
and construction to connect.
❑ [18- 32.7.2, DSM902A5, 14 -412B] The abrupt corner in the private road next to units 175-
176 should be revised to a standard road curve. The abrupt corner is still on the plan,
however this travelway is now an alley, with a lesser standard, which makes this corner
acceptable with a sight distance easement to be provided.
❑ The height of retaining walls next to residential units is a safety concern on this plan. Final
plans will need to make safety provisions, or reduce retaining wall heights. Safety concerns
on the walls can be addressed with final plans.
❑ [ 18- 32.6.6, DSM Chapter 11 ] The drainage through the rear of lots will need to be in
easement on final plans. Comment partially addressed by regarding. Drainage through the
rear of lots is still a concern with lots 1 -16, 64 -102, and 149 -160.
❑ All applicable items as specified in the Design Standards Manual, Section 902 B.
Please contact Glenn Brooks at 296 -5832 if you have questions or require additional information.
Albemarle County Service Authority approval to include:
❑ Review and approval of all final water and sewer plans.
Please contact Gary Whelan at 977 -4511 if you have questions or require additional information.
Fire & Rescue approval to include:
❑ [14 -418] Verify adequate fire flow is available.
Please contact James Barber at 296 -5833 if you have questions or require additional information.
VDOT approval to include:
❑ Review and approval of all final road plans and drainage computations.
Please contact John Winn at 293 -0014 if you have questions or require additional information.
