Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) — Cameron Langille, blangille@albemarle.org — Required changes
prior to preliminary plat approval:
1. [14-218] Total fees for the preliminary plat include $1,236.00 review fee + $75.00 Fire Rescue fee +
$215.00 mailed notice fee = $1,526.00 total. County records show that $1,311.00 has been paid for this
application. Please submit payment for the remaining $215.00.
2. [ZMA2019-16] Per proffer #4, all residential lots and dwelling units must be located outside of the WPO stream
buffer. It appears that Lot 1 encroaches into the stream buffer, and this is not permitted. Please clarify the lot
boundaries and clearly demonstrate that no lots or dwellings will be located within the WPO stream buffer.
a. See Engineering Division comment #11 for additional information.
3. [14-302 (A)(14)] Per proffer #3A, a minimum of 25% open space must be provided within the project. Provide
a calculation identify the acreage of all proposed open space and verify that this requirement is being met.
a. Clearly identify the location of open space parcels across the applicable drawings and state the
acreage/sq.ft. of each open space area.
4. [14-302 (A)(13) & 14-305] Prior to preliminary plat approval, the subdivider must submit all information
specified in this Code section related to stormwater management information. See Engineering Division
comments #9, #11, and #12 for further information. This information must be provided to the County prior to
taking action to approve the preliminary plat, which will require the plat to be revised as necessary.
5. [ZMA2019-16] Per proffer #2, each plat within Bamboo Grove must identify the number of affordable dwelling
units being proposed. A note must be added to the preliminary plat stating the required number of affordable
dwelling units, identify which lots will contain the affordable units, and identify whether they are for -rent or for -
sale.
6. [14-302 (A)(7)] Revise Sheet 2 so that property labels are located within the correct property lines. The label
for TMP 55-68D is shown within the lot lines of TMP 55-68C.
7. [14-302 (A)(7)] Revise lot lines so that the plat clearly identifies that the properties boundaries between
TMPs 55-68C and 55-68D are being vacated and new lots being created.
8. [14-302 (13)(8)] Revise the setback note so that it states the applicable setbacks as stated on Sheet 2 of the
Bamboo Grove concept plan. Setbacks shown on lots should meet the required setbacks.
9. [14-302 (13)(5)] Revise the zoning note on Sheet 1 so that it states that the property is subject to the
proffers of ZMA2019-16.
10. [14-302 (A)(14) and ZMA2019-16] Please identify the location and acreage of the trail dedication area that will
be dedicated to the County for public use, per proffer #3 of ZMA2019-16.
a. Per proffer #3, construction of the trail within the 0.22 acre area to be dedicated to the County must
occur prior to the Certificate of Occupancy for the third dwelling unit. Please provide information on
the anticipated timing for trail construction and dedication. For tracking purposes, the trail should be
shown on the road plans mentioned in comment #2 above and needs to be bonded prior to final plat
approval.
b. [14-426] Please be aware that if the 0.22 acre trail dedication will not take place with the final plat to
create the new lots, the applicant will be required to submit a separate plat application to dedicate the
area to the County prior to issuance of the 31 CO.
c. Sheet 5 appears to show the trail area that was shown on the ZMA2019-16 concept plan. However, the
symbology used is identified as "riprap" on Sheet 1. Please revise the plat so that the trail location is
clearly identified and labeled. Revise the symbology so that it shows what type of surface material will
be used for the trail.
11. [14-302 (A)(4)] A private street was authorized by the Planning Commission during the rezoning process.
However, the preliminary plat does not identify any private street location/right-of-way. Please show and label
the limits of the proposed private street ROW.
a. [14-422] The private street must comply with all applicable street design requirements of the Subdivision
Ordinance. Currently, there is no planting strip shown along the southern side of the proposed private
street. Please be aware that the only street requirement that was waived during the rezoning process was
to not require sidewalk along the north side of the street. As shown on the preliminary plat, the street
design does not meeting the same standard as was shown on the ZNIA2019-16 concept plan (planting
strip along south side of street between sidewalk and proposed curb & gutter within street ROW).
b. See Engineering Division comment #6 for additional information.
Comment to be addressed prior to final plat aooroval:
12. [General Comment] Road plan approval will be required prior to final plat approval. Prior to final plat approval,
the private street will need to either be built or bonded.

of a street right-of-way. Existing easements shall be labeled with the deed book and page number and the name
of the public owner of record. Proposed easements shall be labeled as "dedicated to public use."
16. [14-302 (A)(6)] Please revise the new lot labels so that they are identified as Lot 1, Lot 2, Open Space 1, etc.
State the area of each new lot being created. State the dimensions of each new lot line.
17. [14-302 (A)(11)] State the recorded instrument deed book and page that created the Orchard Drive right-of-way
in the street label on all applicable sheets.
18. [14-302 (A)(14)] Identify the location and acreage of the proposed private street right-of-way, and open space
areas that will be reserved in a deed for the common use of lot owners in the subdivision. Add a note to the plat
stating who will own and maintain the private street ROW.
19. [14-302 (A)(15)] Please state the names and addresses of any easement holders that affect the properties as a
note on the final plat.
20. [14-302 (A)(16)] Please clearly identify and label the limits of the Dam Break Inundation Zone.
21. [14-302 (B)(7)] Revise the water supply note so that it states that the properties lie within the Lickinghole Creek

5. Subdivision plat appears to propose a boundary line adjustment (BLA) that combines TNT parcels 05500-
00-00-068CO and 05500-00-00-068D0. Provide linework, notes, or separate BLA application for boundary
line adjustment required for preliminary subdivision plat to proceed. Engineering defers to Planning.
6. This sheet proposes a parking lot, not a private street or public road which would appear to be required for
subdivision. Whether Planning Div. is prepared to approve this design, relative to ordinance requirements,
Engineering defers, but requirements that apply to subdivision (public road /private street access) would
appear nonoptional. Were this a site plan only, different code section concerning site (vs. lot) access would
apply, but this is a subdivision under Chapter 14. Street requirements appear to apply, much as they
applied to recent relatively complex Timberwood Square development, which includes a site plan, road
plan, and final subdivision plat. Engineering recommends revised preliminary subdivision plat make
explicit reference to lot access requirements (road /street) that appear under chapter 14, since proposed
preliminary plat provides neither a public road nor a private street design that connects with Orchard Drive.
7. Unit 4 appears to cross a proposed lot line. Please revise linework, as needed.
8. Typ. 16' L parking space requires 2' unpaved strip between back face of curb and 5' sidewalk. Revise per
p. 17 ACDSM ( link: httos://www.albemarle.orgjHome/ShowDocument?id=270 )
9. New stormwater conveyance channel appears to indicate compliance strategy of discharge without
detention or retention. It is difficult to discern quantity or quality strategy with proposed preliminary plat.
Note: DEQ has notified Local Program Authorities that channel protection requirements listed at 9VAC25-
870-66 that make use of manmade conveyance that discharges to a natural receiving stream, must, at point
of discharge (even if discharge is at 1% limit of analysis) meet energy -balance channel protection
requirements. Please contact Engineering for more detailed information [Erin Belt, DEQ, email: June 1,
2020 3:21 PM email]. Revise preliminary plat with schematic details, notes, labels, and/or narrative that
clarify how pre -developed forest /post -developed impervious areas meet SWM quality (9VAC25-870-65)
and quantity requirements (9VAC25-870-66). Preliminary plat must include conceptual SWM design that
does both.

10. Show proposed grading north of 5100sq.ft. parking area required to construct parking area. No proposed
grading is shown, grading appears necessary to construct the parking area.
11. Revise preliminary plat to include narrative description /rationale of stream buffer grading and tree removal
which appear impermissible, as proposed. Proposed grading and native vegetation removal appear not to
be listed (impermissible) under 17-602, -603, -604. A 6-lot subdivision on 0.64 Ac. combined parcel area
outside the stream buffer, absence of subdivision road /street appear to exceed limits of both chapter 17
(stream buffer) and chapter 14 (lot access) requirements. Engineering defers to Planning on lot access
requirement (appears to be required, it was for Timberwood Square), but directs applicant to review chapter
17, Article VI, Stream buffers, for improvements and activities exempt from duties to retain, establish, or
manage a stream buffer; types of structures, improvements and activities authorized in a stream buffer
(proposed grading is not), and types of structures, improvements and activities which may be allowed in a
stream buffer by program authority (items A.-F.). Grading to support proposed 6-lot subdivision exceeds a
reasonable interpretation of `reasonable use of the [combined] lot.' Engineering does not object to 6-lot
subdivision, only impermissible activities within stream buffer limits. Engineering also draws attention to
SWM quality /quantity requirements, and lot access requirements (comments elsewhere).

CA has property line going through building. Correct and verify zero setback as fire separation will be needed.
Add the following note to the general notes page:
Where the flood level rims of plumbing fixtures are below the elevation of the manhole cover of the next upstream manhole in
the public sewer, the fixtures shall be protected by a backwater valve installed in the building drain, branch of the building drain
or horizontal branch serving such fixtures. Plumbing fixtures having flood level rims above the elevation of the manhole cover of
the next upstream manhole in the public sewer shall not discharge through a backwater valve_

Review# 1
Dear Mr. Langille:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section has reviewed the Bamboo Grove — Preliminary Plat, dated October 5, 2020 as submitted
by Shimp Engineering, and find the following:
1. The entrance does not appear to meet commercial entrance designs along highways with
shoulders. See page F-108 in the VDOT road design manual, Appendix F. Please note,
the curb radii should be offset from the EP.
2. Legend does not appear to match several items proposed and should be corrected. See
C4 & C5. Several symbols are used trail/sidewalk/path/truncated dome and will need to
be clarified on the site plan.
3. Note that the Site Plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design Manual
Appendices B(1) and F, as well as any other applicable standards, regulations or other
requirements.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
owner/developer must contact the VDOT Charlottesville Residency Land Use Section at (434)
422-9399 for information pertaining to this process.
If you have further questions, please contact Max Greene at 434-422-9894.

As requested, I have reviewed the Preliminary Plat, dated 10/05/20, for the proposed
development, referenced above. Since both water and sewer will be provided by public
utilities, and there does not appear to be any existing onsite well or septic systems, I have
no objection to the proposed development.
If there are any questions or concerns, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
