RE: SUB2020-201 Old Trail Block 32-Request for Private Street Authorization
Mr. Reitelbach,
In accordance with section 14-233 of the Albemarle County Code of ordinances, we are requesting that
proposed street labeled "Bishopgate Place" be authorized as a private street within Block 32. The justification
for the request is below:
• Section 14-233(A)(1)(i)(ii)
The authorization of proposed street "Bishopgate Place" being private within Block 32 would remain
consistent with previously approved private streets within Old Trail. Prior development includes
interconnectivity between private and public streets such as Blocks 14, 16, 17, 18, 30, and 27. The
private road authorization is necessary to provide access to the emergency fire access route as well
as frontage for 2 lots within phase II of the Block 32 development.
In accordance with section 14-234(C), the authorization of private street "Bishopgate Place" would satisfy
each of the 5 requirements stated in this section.
1. The private street will be adequately constructed to carry the projected traffic volume. The street
was designed using traffic volumes according to 9`h addition ITE trip generation calculations. The
design for the private street meets Albemarle County design standards.
2. The ZMA does not require all streets within Block 32 to be public and the private street
authorization would remain consistent with the comprehensive plan.
3. The ownership and maintenance associated with the authorization of this private street will be
under the Old Trail Homeowners Association.
4. The private street is not intended to be a thru street for neighborhood traffic, but rather for
frontage access for 2 lots as well as access to the emergency fire route to state route 250.
5. The flood hazard overlay district requirements are not applicable for this private street.
Thank you for considering this request for "Bishopgate Place" street. Please do not hesitate to reach out with
any questions.
Sincerely,
Nick Hutchinson, IS
