Subject: SDP202100016 — Brookhill Blocks 9-11— Final Site Plan
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department 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.]
Applicable Comments from Initial Site Plan Action Letter (March 6, 2020):
1. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the zoning district and state the ZMA application numbers. Rev. 1: Comment
addressed.
2. [32.5.2(a)] On sheet 3 provide the application number for Block 8B. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
3. [32.5.2 (b)] On sheet 3 provide the totals for the proposed, so a running tally is documented. Rev. 1:
Comment not fullv addressed, please update the table so that it includes data for Blocks IA. 16
&17, and 18. See comment #16 below for application numbers for each block
4. [32.5.2 (e)] Show the existing landscape features as described in section 32.7.9.4(c). Rev. 1: Comment
addressed.
5. [Application Plan; COD; Proffers] The greenway areas need to state that they will be dedicated for
public use per proffer #2. It is recommended that these dedications happen with final subdivision plat.
See below and attached. Rev. 1: Once the greenwav is dedicated, all applicable sheets will need to
be updated to show the limits of the greenwav, the appropriate Tax Map Parcel number, and the
recorded instrument number for plats/deeds pertaining to the greenway.
6. [ZMA201500007 COD] Some of the units do not meet the relegated parking/garage setback from face
of building. Make sure all garages are setback at least 3 feet from the porch. Rev. 1: Comment not
addressed. Based on the building and garage footprints shown, virtually all lots do not comply
with the minimum 3' setback for garages/porches. See "Scenario 5" from page 30 of the Code of
Development. Please revise the garage locations so that they are located at least 3' behind the
porches on each dwelling unit. Provide a measurement that demonstrates the garages begin a
minimum of 3' behind the porch.
[ZMA201500007 COD Route 29 Buffer] Additional landscaping needs to be providing in areas where
there is grading within the 30-foot buffer per the COD. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
8. [14-419; 32.7.9.71 Lots 5-8 are double frontage lots. A minimum of 20 buffer/landscape area is required
between the lots and the right of way to be planted in accordance with 32.7.9.7. This requirement is not
being met, revise. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
9. [ZMA201500007 Application Plan; Proffer 2; COD] There is a trail shown adjacent to Block 11
within the greenway area. This trail should be shown on the plan sheets. Has the trail started or been
established? In addition, there is reference to a trail connection to Upland Park, this connection should
be shown. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. Please address the following:
a. No trails are shown within the proposed greenway area. Per proffer #2, a Class B
Type #1 trail must be provided within all greenway areas as shown on the
Application Plan and Code of Development. Please show this trail on all sheets and
provide a construction detail.
b. The entire trail network must be completed by issuance of the 500" CO for
Brookhill. Installation of the trail began at the south end of the project along Polo
Grounds Road, per road plans SUB201700117. However, no further trails have
been shown on other site plans/plats for blocks adjacent to the greenway. Blocks 9-
11 are adjacent to the areenway, so trails within the greenway adjacent to these
blocks must be shown on the site plan. Please show trail locations on all applicable
sheets where the areenwav is visible. See the Application Plan for ZMA201500007
for conceptual layout of trails within the greenway.
c. Page 28 of the COD states "trailwav connections from each block to the greenway
must be established at the time each block is developed." Please show trail
connections from the Upland Park to the greenway adiacent to Block 11. Provide a
connection to the greenway in Blocks 9 and 10.
10. [ZMA201800011 Proffer 11 Polo Grounds construction for Phase 1 will need to begin prior to the 1st
building permit and complete prior to the 50th building permit/dwelling. Route 29 improvements must
be substantially completed prior to the 50th building permit/dwelling. Rev. 1: Comment addressed,
Dending VDOT and Engineering Division confirmation that these improvements have been
completed.
11. [32.5.2 (a); COD] Regarding Upland Park
a. The COD has the following chart for Upland Park. The tot lot size is not shown,
measuring it out, it appears to be less than the amount required. Rev. 1: Comment
addressed.
b. The materials, dimensions, and size of the plaza should be noted. Rev. 1: Provide a
callout and construction detail for the proposed brick pavers.
c. The size of the whole park is not meeting what is required under the COD- 60,000 sf.
Rev. 1: Please clearly delineate the boundaries of the Upland Park on Sheet 8 to
verify that it meets the minimum 60,000 sq. ft. required by the COD. Provide
measurements along the Upland Park boundary. Additionally, please update the
open space table on Sheet 1. It states that 1.1 acres of Civic Park space is provided
in Block 11, but this figure is inconsistent with the 64, 043 sa. ft. noted in the
applicant comment response letter. 64,043 sq. ft. = 1.47 acres.
d. A usable open recreation area is not provided. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
e. See comment #I I for additional requirements under the code for this area. Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
f. The overall open space in the chart on the cover sheet indicates less open space provided
then what is required. Rev. 1: Comment stands. Please update the open space
provided table so that it reflects the actual acreages provided. See comment #1Ic for
further information.
12. [4.16.1] Pedestrian and maintenance access to the proposed recreation facilities is not adequate. The
only way to access the facilities is by stairs, which does not accommodate parents with strollers, small
children, or those with accessibility limitations. It also does not allow for emergencies, or the
maintenance of these facilities. In addition, it appears that the slope is more than 10%, which does not
meet the requirement of the ordinance. Rev. 1: Comment partially addressed. A new parking area
and sidewalk is Drovided to the recreation facilities in Block 11. But Dlease verify that an ADA
compliant ramp is provided to give access from the handicap parking space and sidewalk
13. [4.16.3.3; Proffer 2B] Since the application proposed less than 40 units, section 4.16.3 will apply for
the completion of the recreation for Upland Park.
a. [4.16.3.3] Recreational facilities shall be completed when 50 percent of the units have
received certificates of occupancy. Rev. 1: Please provide a note on Sheet 1 and Sheet 8
stating that "Recreational facilities shall be completed when 50 percent of the units have
received certificates of occupancy."
14. [COD Page 11; 14-233; 14-234] Per the regulations the houses are required to primarily face public
streets or amenity areas. There are private streets proposed that will need to be approved. Why are these
private streets as opposed to public? A justification in accordance with 14-234 will need to be submitted
for review. Rev. 1: Comment Dartially addressed. Staff has received the private street reauest and
it is in process. Please contact staff directly regarding scheduling of this request with the
Plannin¢ Commission. Should the reauest be authorized by the Commission. this comment will
be addressed.
15. See attached direction from the Post Master regarding group mailboxes. Please coordinate location with
the Poster Master. Rev. 1: Per applicant comment response, please verify where the group
mailboxes are shown. Staff did not see the locations or any callouts of these on the layout
drawings.
