Memorandum
To: Emily Cox
From: Christopher P. Perez, Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: January 8, 2021
Subject: SUB202000173 Avon Park II — Road Plan
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the Road Plan referenced above once the
following comments have been addressed: [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the
Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
IZMA2014-61 The roadside ditch along the parcel frontage of Avon Street shall be improved to VDOT standards
(see sheet 6 of the application plan). Rev 1. Comment not addressed. The northern portion of the ditch has
work proposed within it; however, the southern portion of the ditch on the other side of the driveway
entrance does not have any work proposed. The application plan depicted both sides of this property's
frontage requiring roadside ditch improvements to VDOT standards. I have posed the question to VDOT to
determine if the southern portion already meets VDOT standards. Attached is the exhibit they provided me.
Please work with VDOT to remedy this item for the next submittal.
2. [32.7.9.5(d)] Street Trees. Provide street tree calculations to include linear footage. Provide a planting schedule to
include tree count, type, size, and caliper. Rev 1. The tree fronting Lot 19 and Lot 20 shall be relocated to
avoid the drainage pipe. Also, the tree fronting Lot 9 shall be relocated, possibly to the front of Lot 10. The
two trees adjacent to Lot 1 shall be relocated to the side of Lot 28 to avoid the drainpipe. The tree fronting
Lot 15 shall be relocated to the front of Lot 4.
3. [SE202000005, SDP2020-50, SUB2020-120] The setbacks and rear lot lines depicted on the road plan are
incorrect and do not match the conditionally approved preliminary subdivision plat and initial site plan. While the
road plan does not approve these aspects of the plan it is best for all plans to be uninform to avoid confusion.
Rev 1. Comment not addressed.
4. 114-3161 Vehicular Access to Site. Each entrance onto any public street shall be designed and constructed as
required by the standards of the Virginia Department of Transportation. VDOT approval of the proposed entrances
to the site shall be required prior to final site plan and/or final subdivision plat approval.
Rev 1. Comment still relevant.

Avon Park II — Ditch Review Existing Condition
1/5/2021
North segment:
As seen in Image, water is being held in the ditch line on the northern border of the property. The ditch
contains tall grass and brush that is affecting the flow. Brush and small trees are growing in front of the
culvertjust north of the entrance to the parcel (see Image 2),

South Segment:
The southern road frontage of the property does not have a proper ditch. Water coming down the hill is
pushed to the edge of pavement and has minimal flow at the southern border of the property.
