HomeMy WebLinkAboutSDP202000053 Review Comments Appeal to BOS 2021-03-17County of Albemarle Department of Community Development Memorandum To: Scott Collins (scoff =,collins-engineering.com) From: Kevin McCollum - Planner Division: Planning Services Date: March 17, 2021 Revision of Tori Kanellopoulos' Comment Letter sent on 8/25/2020 Subject: SDP202000053 — Lochlyn Hills Phase IV — Final Site Plan The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department of Community Development will recommend approval of 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.] Planning (Kevin McCollum) [18-4.19 Setbacks] Update the setback note on Sheet 1 to indicate that the minimum side setback is 5'. Comment has been addressed. 2. [18-4.19 Setbacks] Note that all setbacks have been reviewed assuming the sidewalk is in the public ROW. Clarify if the ROW is being adjusted so that the sidewalk is fully in the ROW. See Sheet 4 — "ROW Dedication area proposed with Lochlvn Hill Phase IV Road Plan." Clearly label and show the proposed ROW. On sheet 3 there are discrepancies between the 50' ROW measurement and the proposed 5' sidewalk that is being added to the RW. 3. [18-4.7 and 18-15.5 and 18-2.2 Open space and cluster developments] Include a plan sheet that shows the entire open space area included in this development, not just the townhouses. The development is using the cluster and bonus provisions for density bonus; therefore, the entire development needs 25 percent open space. All open space needs to be shown on the site plan, include square footages of each open space (A, B, etc.). Comment has been addressed. 4. [18-4.7 and 18-15.5 and 18-2.2 Open space and cluster developments] Revise notes throughout site plan that indicate `no open space is provided'. Comment has been addressed. 5. [18-15.4.3 Affordable housing density bonus] Since the preliminary plat/initial site plan approval, there has been a reduction in total acreage for the site. Previous acreage was 4.554 acres, which allows for 18 units by -right, and which would require 2 affordable units for the additional 4 bonus units (1/2 affordable). However, the new acreage is 4.4595, which results in 17 units by -right, and which would require 3 affordable units for the additional 5 bonus units. Either add an additional unit or include the full acreage as was approved with the preliminary and initial approvals. Comment stands. The proposed BLA that is adding acreage to this phase must be reviewed, approved, and recorded prior to final site plan approval. See comment #9 for further information. 6. [18-4.11.4 Structures and easements] There appears to be an easement within the building on Lot 20. Comment has been addressed. [18-32.5.2 and 18-32.6.2 Contents of a site plan] A. The name of the owners for TMP's 61A-3, 61A-3A, and 61A-313 do not appear to be listed — just the addresses. Comment has been addressed. B. Include the owners, present use, and zoning districts of abutting parcels. Comment has been addressed. C. Include an existing sheet/demo plan that shows existing conditions (not with proposed lots for the site plan). Comment has been addressed. D. Include the ingress/egress with distance to centerline of nearest existing intersection. Comment addressed. 8. [18-32.7.2.3 Sidewalks.] Planning staff has contacted Transportation Planning staff to determine if sidewalks should be provided on the other side of Pen Park Lane, or if only having sidewalks on one side is acceptable. Transportation Staff has been followed up with and their review is pending (3/16/2021) 9. [18-32.7.4 and 18-32.7.5 Easements and required improvements.] A. Label all easements. B. The easements shown on the plan do not appear to exactly match the final plat. The sight distance easements do not appear to be shown. The full dimensions of the private sanitary lateral easement do not appear to be shown. The full dimensions of the drainage easements do not appear to be shown. Comment stands. Easements need to be shown on an easement plat and easement dimensions/locations must match those shown on the final site plan. Additionally, the BLA mentioned above in comment 95 should be incorporated into the easement plat once that application is submitted. As noted below in comment #12, easement plat application and BLA must be approved prior to final site plan approval. 10. [18-32.7.9.4 Contents of a landscape plan] A. Ensure all easements are shown on the landscape plan. Some easements/dimensions are missing, as compared with the final plat. Comment stands. See comment #9 above — ensure that all new easements are shown on the landscape plan and that new easement locations match the plat. B. Provide a signed conservation checklist, as some existing landscaping is being counted toward the street tree requirement. Comment addressed. 11. [18-32.7.9.5 Street trees] 1. Ensure the applicable areas of the road and site plans match. Some sheets indicate three (3) exiting street trees will be preserved, while others indicate four (4). Comment has been addressed. 2. Ensure existing trees still meet 32.7.9.5 street tree requirements. Comment has been addressed. 3. Update table to include all street trees, including the species/caliper of existing trees being counted toward street trees. Comment has been addressed. On sheet 6, no landscaping access and maintenance easements shown on Lots 13-20. Please identify the easement location and dimensions to ensure that proposed landscaping is within easements. 12.
