RE: SUB201900156 Rivanna Village Phase 2 — Road Plans
Dear Sir:
[ZMA201300012 Proffer 31 Route 250 and Eastern Entrance Improvements. "The owner shall either
construct left and right turn lanes on Route 250 at the eastern entrance to the property or bond these
improvements prior to approval of the first site plan or subdivision plat for the development... "
Staff is aware that the entrance improvements onto Rte. 250 are currently bonded; however, no road plan was
ever submitted or approved for these improvements. It is recommended that the bonds be recalculated to match
this road plan. Rev 1. Comment still relevant. Rev 2. Comment still relevant. Rev 3. Comment addressed.
2. [ZMA201300012 Proffer 7, COD 5.4.2, COD 5.4.3, 32.5.2(0), 32.7.1.3(a), 32.7.1, 32.7.1.1, 14-428, 14-429]
Route 250 Landscape Buffer and Right of Way Dedication. The reservation zone and the landscape buffer shall
be reserved for public use and dedication upon the request of the County. Provide the following note on the
plan: "The 70' wide reservation zone and 30' wide landscape buffer are hereby reserved for future dedication
for public use upon demand of the County. " "The maintenance and upkeep of these areas and their
landscaping shall be the responsibility of the HOA until the County demands dedication and accepts it. " Rev
1. Comment addressed.
3. [Comment] The road plan does not match the latest version of the site plan. Many of the charts and
calculations are not the most up to date. Additionally, the proposed lot layouts differ. Revise the road plan to
match the latest version of the site plan. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
4. [COD Sec 7.1, 4.121 The proposed phasing is not approvable because all of the required parking spaces for the
park use are not provided in the same phase as the park, Phase 2A. Additionally, half of a guest space is
located in Phase 2A, which is truly required for phase 213. Revise the phasing to include all required parking
for the use. Rev 1. Comment not addressed. The park is now in Phase 2B; however, some of the on -street
spaces for the park are located in Phase 2A. Revise.
Rev 2. The note provided on sheet 4 is blacked out and very hard to read. Please correct this issue so it is
legible. Also, the content of the note has changed since we initially discussed this option. Phase 2A and
phase 2F must be platted and fully constructed before phase 2B is approved, bonding of phase 2A and
phase 2F will not suffice, as phase 2B is reliant on the parking from phase 2A and phase 2F. Revise the
note to reflect this. Rev 3. The revised plan omits sheet 4 that I previously reviewed and approved in
August through email. Please add it back to the road plans.
email. Please add it back to the road plans.
5. [COD Sec 7.1, 4.121 The approved parking determination for the community park permits on street parking
spaces within 500' from the proposed use. On sheet 4 revise the parking radius to depict a 500' radius from the
closest park boundary. Please ensure all required on street parking spaces for the park are provided within the
radius. Currently only 99 on street parking spaces marked for the park were found on the plan; however, the
site plan calculates that 108 are required based on modified use numbers, additionally the plans state 122 are
provided. Revise to ensure the minimum number of parking spaces are provided to serve the use within 500'
radius. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
6. [Comment] Prior to road plan approval provide signed agreements from all the effected property owners
granting permission for offsite grading and driveway improvements outside the public right-of-way. The only
offsite work appears to be on TMP 80-58A. Rev 1. Comment still relevant.
Rev 2. Comment still relevant. An approved road plan allows for construction, therefore without the
signed agreements from all effected property owners granting permission for offsite grading and
driveway improvements outside the public right-of-way the road plan shall not be approved. Rev3.
Comment addressed as applicant provided the signed agreement.
7. [COD Sec 5.2, Sheet 5 Exhibit B] Dimension and label all sidewalks and landscape strips. Additionally,
throughout the plan list the construction material of the sidewalks. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
