RE: SDP202000070 Brookhill Block 1B — Initial Site Plan
Dear Mr. Collins:
The Site Review Committee has reviewed the development proposal referenced above. Initial comments
from the following divisions of the Department of Community Development and other agencies, as
applicable, are attached:
Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner)
Albemarle County Engineering Services (Engineer)
Albemarle County Information Services (E911)
Albemarle County Building Inspections
Albemarle County Department of Fire Rescue
Albemarle County Service Authority
Virginia Department of Transportation
Virginia Department of Health
Comments reflect information available at the time the development proposal was reviewed, and should
not be considered final. However, the Site Review Committee has attempted to identify all issues that
will be required to be resolved prior to Final Site Plan approval. The applicant shall request the project be
deferred to allow required revisions if required.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience if you have questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,

Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) — Cameron Langille, blangille@albemarle.org — Required changes
prior to initial site plan approval:
1. [32.4.2.1 (f)] Total fees for this project are $5,694.60. County records show that $5,474,60 payment has
been paid, but there is an outstanding $220.00 balance. Based on the payment breakdown provided by the
applicant on the application, it appears the missing fees come from the $435.00 mailed notice fee required
by Section 32.4.2.1 (f). The remaining fees must be paid prior to initial site plan approval.
Required changes prior to final site plan approval:
2. [ZMA201500007] The Code of Development (COD) requires a minimum of 50,000 sq. ft. of non-residential
uses in Block 1. Block 1 is the only block of Brookhill where non-residential uses are permitted. Per footnote
#2 under Table 5 on page 15 of the COD, ancillary uses do not count toward the non-residential sq. ft. in each
block. Therefore, only 2,650 sq. ft. of non-residential uses are proposed in Block 1. The note on Sheet 1 states
that Block IA + Block 1B acreage = 12.673 acres. This means that all of the acreage allowed for Block 1 is
being used with these plans, which appears to make the future building labeled on this plan as not possible.
Please clarify the true acreage of Block 113 in order to verify that adequate area is available for future non-
residential uses to meet the 50,000 sq.ft. minimum required.
a. [32.5.2 (c)] Clarify the phasing note on Sheet 1. Where are the phase boundaries of the three sub -phases
of Block 1? Currently, only Phase 1 A and 1B are drawn. The layout drawings only label the proposed
property boundary, which appears to include areas where future buildings are shown. Are those
buildings going to be constructed in a separate sub -phase of Block 1? See Engineering comments for
further information.
3. [32.5.2 (b)] Please revise and clarify the building footprint note on Sheet 1. According to Section 2.3.2.1 of the
COD, the maximum footprint allowed in Block 1 is 20,000 sq. ft. for non-residential uses and no maximum
footprint for residential uses. The note should differentiate between the maximum allowed non-residential and
residential footprints.
4. [32.5.2 (b)] Comment is for information only — per LOD201700025, the proposed ice rink is a by -right use in
Block 1 as an "ancillary use" and is not subject to the maximum building footprint limitation in the COD. The
ice rink square footage also does not count against the minimum/maximum non-residential use sq. ft. limits
specified for Block 1 by the COD.
5. [ZMA201500007] Per Section 2.2.1 (page 9) of the COD, primary entrances for buildings in Block 1 must be
located on the front or side of the buildings. Please address the following:
a. Label primary entrances on all buildings.
b. Add sidewalks connecting the primary entrances to existing and/or proposed sidewalks along Archer
Avenue and Stella Lane as necessary.
6. [General comment] Please address the following on Sheet 3:
a. State the approval dates for SUB201700117 (11/16/2018).
b. State the approval date for the preliminary plats for Blocks 16 and 17 (SUB202000141, 9/9/2020).
c. State the approval date for the preliminary plat for Block 18 (SUB202000160,10/23/2020).
d. If any other site plans, road plans, or plats are approved for other blocks prior to approval of the Block
1B final site plan, update this sheet as necessary.
7. [32.5.2 (b)] Per page 9 of the COD, 1 bicycle rack is required for every 5,000 sq. ft. of retail space. Please
revise the require bicycle parking calculation on sheet 1 so that it calculates the required parking based on the
2,650 sq. ft. of retail space proposed in Block 1.
a. Move the bicycle rack closer to the residential/retail buildings.
b. Please label/title the construction detail provided for the bike rack on Sheet 10.
8. [32.5.2 (a)] Label all minimum and maximum setback lines on the layout drawings.
9. [32.5.2(e)] Identify the types and sizes of the existing landscape features as described in section
32.7.9.4(c).
10. [32.5.2(e)] On all plan view sheets provide labels identifying whether the existing wooded areas are
composed of evergreen, deciduous or a mix of types of trees.
11. [32.5.2 (i)] The private road extension of Stella Lane that is the main street within Block 1 must contain
all features shown on the cross-section identified as Figure 10: Connector Road and Main Street Road
Cross Section (page 25) of the COD.
a. The cross section provided on Sheet 10 is not consistent with the COD cross-section. No on -
street parking is provided.
b. Draw and dimension the proposed bike lanes Along Stella Lane across all applicable drawings.
See VDOT comments for further information.
c. Provide on -street parking on the south side of Stella Lane. Currently, none are shown.
12. [32.5.2 (i)] Prior to final site plan approval, a road plan application must be submitted, reviewed, and approved
for the extension of Stella Lane.
13. [32.5.2 (i)] Please provide the recorded instrument numbers for existing Stella Lane, Archer Avenue, and
Salamander Street ROWS in the road labels across all applicable drawings. State the widths of the existing
ROWS in the labels.
14. [32.5.20)] Provide the deed book and page references for all existing water, sewer, wastewater or stone
drainage systems easements that are located on the property.
15. [32.5.2 (k)] Please show all proposed water, sewer, drainage, and stonnwater easements on the final site plan
and state the easement type and width.
a. Prior to final site plan approval, an Easement Plat Application must be submitted, reviewed and
recorded. Once recorded, the final site plan will need to be updated so that all new easement labels
indicate the recorded instrument number of the plat (deed book and page).
16. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the location and width of any existing or proposed utilities and utility easements including
telephone, cable, electric and gas. Indicate the deed book and page reference for all exiting utility easements
located on the property.
17. [General Comment] Note 1 on Sheet 1 may need to be revised if any new easements will be private.
18. [32.5.2(m)] Ingress and egress. Show the distance to the centerline of the nearest existing street
intersection from the propped ingress and egress.
19. [32.5.2 (n)] Where will the proposed 2,650 sq. ft. of retail space be located? Please state this in a note on the
Cover Sheet, and call out/draw the retail area within the building footprint on the layout drawings.
20. [32.5.2 (n)] Please provide dimensions for all buildings, sidewalks, walkways, walls, etc.
21. [32.5.2 (n)] Per Section 3.3. of the COD (page 33), the streetscape for the main street must feature f imiture,
such as benches and trash receptacles. Currently, none are shown. Benches and trash receptacles should be
provided along the Stella Lane adjacent to the sidewalk on the final site plan.
22. [32.5.2 (n)] Per the Application Plan of ZMA201500007, there are some areas of land at the north side of Block
1B, between the greenway and the proposed buildings, that needs to be open space (green color outside of the
greenway which is brown). On the final site plan, please address the following:
a. Show and label the open space areas on the layout drawings;
b. Update the open space note on Sheet 1 to state acreage/sq.ft. of open space provided;
c. Update the open space column in the Block Area Summary on Sheet 3.

Subject:
Brookhill Block 113- ISP (SDP202000070)
The initial site plan for Brookhill Block 1 B has been reviewed by Engineering. The following comments
will need to be addressed before approval:
1. WPO Plan must be submitted and approved before final site plan can be approved.
2. Road plan must be submitted and approved before final site plan can be approved. There
is a note on the cover sheet that states everything is travelways, however a portion of
Stella is proposed as a private street.
3. Sheet 3 does not show Block 1B, which is this plan.
4. Topography should be updated or field verified within the past year.
5. Retaining wall plans are necessary before final site plan approval. Also, please provide
top and bottom elevations of the walls.
6. 2:1 slopes must specify a type of grass or landscaping that can handle steep slopes.
7. Please clarify the phase vs. property lines. For example, the retaining walls appear to
cross a property line. This would require easements.
8. The SWM facility is not existing. It was shown on WP0201700037 amendment2, but
routings, etc. should be updated with the WPO plan for this phase.
9. Provide a signed and sealed exhibit for the note on sheet 4:
LIMITS OF EXISTING ALBEMARLE COUNTY PRESERVED STEEP SLOPES
HAVE BEEN DETERMINED TO BE LESS THAN aS%BASED ON NEW
TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE
COUNTY ENGINEER, AS PERMITTED UNDER SECTION 30 7.4(b)h
10. Sheet that shows landscaping must also show utilities, for example, storm pipes and
inlets.
11. Ensure all entrances are labeled with their VDOT designation. For example, here:

1. Fire department connections must be shown on the site plan and located within I of a hydrant.
2. A emergency apparatus turn around must be provided on the travel way serving the ice rink. While it appears future
development will allow for travel the current plan only provides a dead end travel way due to the parking and the structure.
3. A knox box will be required on each building. Please put a note on the plans indicating the requirement and that the location
can be coordinated with the fire marshars office.
4. An additional hydrant will be needed due to the possibility of the hydrant adjacent to building 2 being used and impacting

Mr. Langille:
As requested, I've reviewed the subject plan, dated 10/26/20, the Albemarle County GIS
database, as well as VDH records on file. It appears there are no existing onsite septic
systems or wells associated with this parcel, and all new construction will be connected
to public sewer & water systems. Therefore, I have no concerns or objections to the
preliminary plat.
If there are any questions or concerns, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
