Subject:
SDP2021-006- Southwood Blocks 9-11- Initial Site Plan
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department Community
Development will recommend approve the plan referred to above when the following items
have been satisfactorily addressed. (The following comments are those that have been
identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based
on further review.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle
County Code.]
1. See attached direction from the Post Master regarding group mailboxes. Please
coordinate location with the Post Master.
2. [32.5.2 (a)] Show the existing boundary lines of the existing parcels. A boundary line
adjustment will be needed prior to final site plan approval for the setbacks and
requirements to be met. In addition, the acreage of the project area is unclear, please
provide acreage of the area for development in addition to limits of disturbance so that
accurate density can be calculated.
3. [32.5.2 (a)] Include the ZMA number on the plans with the zoning district note
(ZMA2018-003).
4. [32.5.2 (a)] Please note that the "Lot & Easement Plan" and "Road Plan" sheets are not
and will not be approved with this site plan. These need to be separate submittals and
approvals. A subdivision plat will need to be submitted for the lots and easements, and
a road plan will need to be submitted and approved as well. Easements and road
information can still be shown for reference, but a separate submittal(s) and approval
will need to occur. This information should be incorporated into other sheets and these
specific sheets should be removed.
5. [32.5.2(b); Code of Development page 13] Provide the proposed height of the buildings
in feet as well as stories.
6. [32.5.2 (b)] Provide an overall tracking chart for the units. See attached example from
Old Trail. This will allow tracking of units and uses to occur easily over the many plans.
7. [32.5.2(b); 32.5.2(q)] The trip generation should be cumulative, revise to include prior
blocks similar to what is requested above for units, to be provided for traffic. This will
allow quick confirmation that the total trip generation does not exceed 5,000 per the
Code of Development.
8. [32.5.2(b); 4.12.6] Condense the parking information into X number required and X
number provided. 86 townhomes require 2.25 spaces/unit, this equates to 194 total
spaces required and only 183 are being provided. Additional parking spaces are
required, or a parking modification/reduction will need to be submitted and approved
by the zoning administrator. Having a condensed table will allow planning and code
compliance officers to quickly see how many are provided on the lots/garages and those
on the street. See example below:
• 86 townhomes: 194 spaces required, X spaces provided in garages/lots,
X spaces provided on street/alley. X ADA spaces.
In addition, show the garages on the site plan to show whether there are 2 car garages,
or 1 car and the dimensions of the garages to ensure that the required size for parking
spaces is being met.
9. [32.5.2(b)] Show the maximum setback on the layout plans. It appears the Lot 11 is not
meeting the maximum 25' setback.
10. [32.5.2(b)] Include the percentage and acreage of open space. Also, show where the
open space is located. This is also another item that would be best served by a
cumulative chart for all of the rezoning area to ensure that the minimum requirement is
being met. The code of development indicates no open space in these blocks, however
there are areas that are not identified for development, how will these be maintained?
How will the ownership be addressed? This can be addressed with a plat, however the
areas should be labeled.
11. [Code of Development, page 16; 4.161 Show/indicate what facilities will be provided in
the amenity spaces and playground.
12. [ZMA Code of Development] Affordable units should be labeled on the units in the plan
set in addition to the chart provided.
13. [ZMA; Code of Development, page 13, 15] Parking is not permitted in the trail buffer
area. Remove the proposed parking.

14. [32.5.2(e)] The trees shown at the corner of Hickory and Old Lynchburg Road are not
part of Block 11, but are within Block 12, and should be removed from these plans and
calculation for tree canopy.
15. [32.5.2(e); 32.7.9.4; 32.7.9.8] In order for the existing trees to count towards canopy,
more information needs to be provided. See the section in 32 regarding existing
landscape features and the requirements. In addition, trees and canopy located in the
right of way along Old Lynchburg Road cannot count towards the canopy calculation
requirement, only those trees within the property.
16. [32.7.9.5] Street streets should be planted every 50 feet. The calculation for x number of
linear feet divided by 50 is not sufficient. It appears that there is a need for an additional
tree along Road 1 adjacent to the townhomes.
17. [32.7.91 Please note that a cumulative tree canopy calculation will be needed, as the
trees shown for these blocks will not be double counted for block 12.
18. [Code of Development, page 16] The landscaping required for the Pedestrian
Connection Areas are not being provided. Provide the required trees and landscaping
for these areas. In addition, the required 10' width/access easement for these areas is
not being provided.
19. [Code of Development, page 15] A minimum of four (4) pedestrian connections are
required and to be landscaped in accordance with the code of development. There
appears to be 3 plus a possible sidewalk connection along Road 1, however it is unclear.
Identify the pedestrian connections and make sure they are meeting the requirements
in the code.
20. [Code of Development, page 15] Areas where there is grading within the Trail Buffer
Area need to be replanted per the code of development.
21. [Code of Development; Application Plan; 32.5.21 Identify and label the trail buffer more
clearly on all sheets.
22. [32.5.2(i)] Provide the street names for all alleys, travelways, and roads.
23. [32.5.2 (n)] Provide the dimensions for all existing and proposed improvements on the
layout plan. Including: walkways, fences, walls, parking lots, parking spaces (including
garage spaces), other paved areas, driveways, etc. In addition, provide the material
types for all walks parking lots, and driveways.
24. [32.5.2(n)] For the townhome units in Lots 71 and 72- 16 units, how will trash be
provided/collected? Will there be a dumpster? If there will be a trash area, show where
that area is located and if a dumpster is needed/proposed, it will need to meet the
requirements of 4.12.19.
25. [32.5.2(1)] There are overhead utilities shown within the grading areas, trail, and trail
buffer area. How will these utilities be treated? Will they be put underground? Will the
poles need to be relocated?
26. [32.5.2(u)] For NMDs the following is required in the site plan:
• A phasing plan
• Building elevations for all new or modified structures
27. [32.7.2.3] Adequate pedestrian facilities between areas within the site and adjacent
areas are not being provided.
• There appears to be a space between the parking spaces in the lots and
the sidewalk. Adequate pedestrian facilities should be provided from
the parking to adjacent sidewalks.
• Sidewalk should be provided to connect sidewalks to other areas of the
site and to the future development of Block 12, see below areas where
sidewalk should be provided/extended. This will allow residents of Block
12 and in this area to access the amenities provided within these blocks.

28. Please note that if outdoor lighting is proposed, full cut off fixtures are required over
3,000 lumens and for final site plan a photometric plan and cutsheets of the fixtures are
required.
29. [Recommendation] Minimal amount of landscaping is being provided. Consider
providing shade trees in the open spaces and along the edges of the recreational areas
to provide shade in our hot summer months. Since this landscaping is not required, do
not recommend showing it on the site plan, but consider including it with the bid
package for the installation of landscaping.

MANAGER, OPERATIONS PROGRAM SUPPORT
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
POUNITEDSTATES
T POSTAL SERVICE
Date: November 23,2015
Subject: New Developments
In April 2012, the USPS revised regulation to clarify options for delivery and to provide the USPS
greater autonomy in determining how deliveries are added to the Postal Service network. While
curbline and sidewalk delivery remain viable and approved modes of delivery, the USPS will
determine how and when to approve these modes of delivery consistent with existing Postal
Operations Manual (POM) regulation regarding in -growth and both establishment and extension of
delivery.
Each year, new delivery addresses are added to our city, rual and contract routes which has a major
impact to our delivery cost. To control costs, we need to ensure new residential deliveries are being
made via centralized delivery. We must adhere to the guidelines that govern establishment of new
delivery. The City/County authorities (Planning and Zoning) can not give approval of delivery service.
The Postal Service cannot honor agreements that have been made between Planning and Zoning
and the developer.
At a minimum, the USPS will work with the builders and developers to determine what the best mode
of delivery is for the area prior to establishing or extending delivery service. However, as a national
agency, the USPS reserves the right to establish delivery in the most consistent and cost effective
means viable to meet our federal mandate of providing a free form of service that best meets the
need to establish and maintain a safe, reliable and efficient national Postal Service.
Please review the changes to the POM regarding Modes of Delivery and Delivery Equipment.
The changes are designed to enhance our ability to increase centralized and CBU delivery.
• Centralized and CBU delivery is now the default mode of delivery in business areas. Any
exceptions to centralized or CBU delivery mode in business areas must be approved by the District.
(631.2)
For new residential delivery, CBU is now the default. Exceptions to permit curbline delivery must
be approved by the District. (631.32)
• New deliveries within an existing block with an established mode of delivery no longer assume the
existing mode of delivery. We can require a more efficient mode of delivery (sidewalk delivery, for
example). (631.41)
• While we do not control addresses for buildings, we do control the sequential ordering of addresses
within any centralized delivery equipment. (631.442)
If more than one building in a complex has the same street address, the delivery equipment must
be grouped at a single location even if some of the units are in a different building. (631.452)
• Centralized delivery or CBU is the default option for delivery in mobile homes or trailer parks that
are permanent residences. Any exceptions to centralized or CBU delivery mode must be approved
by the District (631.462b)
• For dormitories and residence halls not directly affiliated with colleges, the Postal Service
determines the mode of delivery and can require the property owner to accept mail for all the
tenants. We will not distribute mail into centralized delivery equipment. (631.52)
• Delivery equipment must conform with the USPS standards for CBUs and high-rise delivery
equipment, USPS STD 4C wall mounted mail receptacles. Local offices do not have the authority to
approve any other centralized delivery equipment. (631.441)
-2-
• When obsolete delivery equipment is replaced in multi -unit buildings, it must be replaced with
equipment that meets current standards. (632.621)
The USPS standards include options for parcel lockers that we should ensure are provided.
There was also great consideration regarding safety of delivery, which also resulted in the
determination the the type of delivery warrented in your area.

Reviewer: Matthew Wentland
CDD Enoineerino Requested Changes
1. The VSMP plan will need to be approved prior to Final Site Plan approval. Review of the VSMP plan may generate
additional comments on the Final Site Plan.
2. The road plan will need to be approved prior to Final Site Plan approval. Review of the road plan may generate additional
comments on the Final Site Plan.
3. The underground storage facility A will need to be removed from beneath the parking and travelway in front of Lots 71 and
72 and relocated outside of any travelways or where its repair/replacement will affect a travelway. Engineering recommends it
be moved to behind lots like SWM B.
4. The stormwater facility outlets do not appear to be into a defined channel.
5. Provide sight distance triangles and profiles for all intersections. [18.4.12.15d, 18.4.12.17d]

Reviewer: Howard Lagomarsino Fire Rescue I Requested Changes
1) Please provide ISO needed fire flow and indicate in note on plan
2) Please provide ACSA available fire flow test indicate in a note on plan
3) The minimum unobstructed (parking is considered an obstruction for calculation of the unobstructed width) width for fire
apparatus access roads is 20 ft., but notes on submitted plan indicate potential for three story and maximum 45 ft height for
some structures. Any building exceeding 30 ft in height requires a fire apparatus access road with an unobstructed (parking is
considered an obstruction for calculation of the unobstructed width) width of 26 feet. Please indicate on plan buildings
exceeding 30 ft and access roads to them with unobstructed width of 26 feet
4) Where parking would reduce the fire appaartus road width below the requirements, no parking markings or signs are
required
5) Aceess roads for fire apparatus require a 25 ft turn radius
6) Please indicate location of fire hydrants on the plan. Please note, spacing of the hydrants is dependent on the required fire
flow. The lowest fire flow required mandates hydrant spacing of 500 ft with the maximum distance from any point on street or
road frontage is 250 feet. (Also, keep in mind, any structure that will have an Fire department connection to support a fire
protection system is required to have a hydrant within 100 ft of the connection and arranged in such a way as to not block
access for additional fire appartaus when in use in conjunction with the FDC - example of unacceptable- FDC on one side of
the road and hydrant on the other side.
