RE: SDP2020-00036 Belvedere Block 5A Final Site Plan
Dear Mr. Langille,
Planning — Cameron Langille (comments dated 10/14/2020)
1. [General Comment] Please revise the legend on Sheet 2 so that the Future
Belvedere Phase 5B matches the coloring/symbology used on the drawing. Rev 1:
Comment addressed.
2. [32.5.2 (b)] Please revise the "Proposed Use" note on Sheet 1. Under the R-4
Zoning District, the property can be developed as either a Standard Level Cluster
Development, or a Bonus Level Cluster Development. The lot sizes and permitted
densities are different for these two use types. Please reference Section 18-15.3 for
the Area and Bulk Regulations that apply to each type.
a. Please clarify which use type is being requested, and revise the
Proposed Use note so that it specifies either Standard Level Cluster
Development or Bonus Level Cluster Development. Based on the fact
that the density increase is proposed to be gained by maintenance of
an existing wooded area, this development qualifies as a Bonus Level
Cluster Development, per Section 18-15.4.1. Rev. 1: Comment not
addressed. Use note has not been revised. Rev. 2: The note has
been revised to state this is a Standard Level Cluster
Development. However, the plan says that a density bonus is
being sought for preservation of 1.17 acres of existing wooded
area. Section 18-5.4.1 state that a 5% density bonus is granted is
an area between 10-19% of existing wooded area is preserved.
This means that 1.5 acres must be preserved. Therefore, no
bonus density can be granted. Please revise the Allowable
Density calculation so that it does not include a 5% bonus.
Response: 10% of the site is being preserved in the "tree save
area". 10% x 15 acres = 1.5 acres. We provide 1.50 acres (please
see landscaping plan). Therefore, a 5% density bonus is added.
The total allowable density is 4.2 du/ac.

b. Please add notes to Sheet 1 specifying the minimum lot size permitted,
and maximum structure height permitted. See the Area and Bulk
Regulations table in Section 18-15.3 for these standards. Rev. 1:
Comment not fully addressed. Lot size note has not been added. Rev.
2: Comment addressed.
c. [18-2.2.3] In order to be a cluster development, both Standard Level
and Bonus Level, a minimum of 25% of the total land area must be
common open space. Please provide a note on Sheet 1 stating the
required acreage/sq.ft. of open space, and provide a calculation stating
the proposed acreage/sq. ft. of open space. Rev. 1: Comment not fully
addressed. Required and proposed open space acreage note has not
been added. As a reminder, bonus level cluster developments must
provide a minimum of 25% common open space. Based on staffs
calculation of open space provided, there is a total of 2.13 acres
(92,950 sq. ft.) of common open space provided (this includes Open
Space A, Open Space B, Open Space C, and the tot lot). This does not
match the open space provided figures on Sheet 1 (2.07 acres) and
Sheet 20 (2.98 acres). Please verify the total acreage of common open
space provided, and revise the figures as necessary. Rev 2: Comment
addressed.
3. [32.5.2 (a)] Please label all setback lines shown on Sheets 4 and 5 on lots 1-14
and 34-43. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. The rear setback line is not
labeled/called out for lots 1-14 and 34-43 on Sheets 4 and 5. Please revise. Rev.
2: Rear setback lines are not labeled on lots 34 and 43. Please draw
setback lines on these lots.
Response: The rear setback lines have been labeled on the Layout Plan
(sheet 5) and the Site Plan sheets (sheet 6).
4. [32.5.2 (a)] Please identify which lots are SFD and SFA on Sheets 4 and 5. Rev.
1: Comment not addressed. Rev 2: Comment addressed.
5. Comment no longer applicable. [32.5.2 (01 According to Albemarle County GIS, a
Water Protection Ordinance 100' stream buffer exists on TMP 62-16D. Please
show and label the stream buffer on all applicable drawings and identify the
symbology used to represent the stream buffer limits in the legend on each sheet
where visible. Rev. 1: Comment no longer applicable.
a. Revise the stream buffer note on Sheet 1 so that it states the property
is located within a WPO stream buffer, or provide evidence such as a
survey that verifies that no stream buffer is located on TMP 62- 16D.
Rev. 1: Comment no longer applicable.

labels for all proposed improvements where construction details are provided in
the plans. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
9. [32.7.1.1] Please address the following related to notes on Sheet 1 and Sheet 4:
a. [32.7.1.1 (b)] Asterisk " on Sheet 1 and Note 5 on Sheet 4: street right-
of-way can't be dedicated through the site plan. ROW dedication must
occur as part of recordation of a subdivision application that is
reviewed and approved by the County in accordance with all applicable
sections of Chapter 14. Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. See
comment #9b below for revised language for the note that should be
on the plans. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
b. Please revise the note language so that it states "public street rights -
of -way shall be dedicated to Albemarle County for public use in
accordance with all applicable sections of the Albemarle County
Code." Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Notes on Sheet 1 and Sheet
4 have not been revised. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.

lake or other water feature deemed by the agent to constitute a
desirable open space amenity." Rev. 1: Comment not addressed, no
calculations identifying the acreage of these features within the
proposed open space areas has been provided. Rev. 2: Comment
addressed.
b. [18-4.7 (d)] Asterisk "" on Sheet 1 and Note 4 on Sheet 4: the site plan
can't dedicate the open space to the HOA, the dedication needs to be
done as part of a subdivision application review and approval, in
accordance with Chapter 14. Please be aware that open space in
private ownership shall be subject to a legal instrument ensuring the
maintenance and preservation of the open space that is approved by
the agent and the county attorney. Rev. 1: Applicant did not provide a
response to this comment. --I rho n fo fin n cheet 4. Rev. 2:
omment addressed.
c. [18-4.7] How will HOA access be granted to Open Space C? Since
existing trees are being maintained in Open Space C to count toward
minimum landscaping requirements, the HOA will need access to the
tree preservation areas in order to maintain the existing trees. See
comments #1 and #8 below for additional information. Rev. 1:
Comment not addressed. Applicant did not provide a response to this
comment and it is still unclear how Open Space C will be accessed.
Rev. 2: Comment not fully addressed. Applicant comment
response letter states that the phase line was adjusted so that
open space C can be accessed at the end of Fowler Street.
However, the site plan still shows Fowler street and the phase line
ending before reaching open space C. Open space C has no
frontage of access as currently shown. Please revise.
Response: Open space C can be accessed from the trail access
point which is to the south side of Lot 14. For additional clarity,
please see image of the full-buildout of the community below.
As indicated on the below overview, Open space C will have road
frontage. As show on this plan, the phase line represents the
termination of the road construction and by no means will prevent
pedestrians from accessing the common space. Residents can
walk along the sidewalk in front of Lot 14 and access the area
adjacent Lot 14. As we indicated on the last submitted plan, a
primitive trail is proposed at the end of the sidewalk which
provides access to Open space C. Please see sheet 19 and 20.

L Since there is no minimum lot size in R-4 bonus level cluster
developments, staff suggests revising the rear and rear corner
lot lines of Lot 1 so that Open Space B and C connect. The
connection area should be at least 10-12' wide so that vehicles
can be driven to the open space C area. Otherwise, a private
HOA access easement will need to be created through
residential lots so that Open Space C can be accessed for
maintenance purposes. Rev. 1: Comment not addressed.

Comment stands, see comment above. Either the phase
lines need to be adjusted or a private access easement
needs to be provided.

SDP2020-00036 Belvedere Block 5A Final Site Plan
5/26/2021
Response: See response above. The phase line has been
adjusted so that Open Space C can be accessed by leaving
the sidewalk where it terminates at the phase line. The
overview shows that there will be a gap provided between
Lot 14 and the next residential lot. This area is planned to
be open space and there will be trail access. As was
indicated on the last submission of the plan, the primitive
pedestrian trail starts form the end of the sidewalk and
leads towards the common space behind the lots.
Pedestrians can easily access Open space C by walking on
the trail adjacent Lot 14. If maintenance vehicles need to
access Open Space C — they can easily access the area by
leaving the end of the road and driving down the hill. If an
access easement is required, one will be provided with the
development plan of Phase 513. Please see the attached
PDF of the full buildout of the parcel which will provide
more clarity.
11. [18-4.16] Please address the following related to recreation requirements:
a. [18-4.16.1 ] A minimum of 200 square feet per unit of recreational area
shall be provided in common area or open space on the site.
Therefore, 8,600 sq. ft. of recreation area/open space is required.
Please add a required open space calculation to Sheet 1. State the
amount of open space/recreation area proposed. Rev. 1: Comment not
addressed. Calculations stating the minimum required open space and
recreation areas have not been provided on Sheet 1. It appears that
only 2, 895 sq. ft. of recreational areas are provided (the tot lot). This
does not meet the minimum 8,600 sq. ft. required. Rev. 1: Comment
not addressed. Calculations stating the minimum required open
space and recreation areas have not been provided on Sheet 1. It
appears that only 2, 895 sq. ft. of recreational areas are provided
(the tot lot). This does not meet the minimum 8,600 sq. ft.
required. Rev. 2: Comment not fully addressed. Recreation notes
on Sheet 1 state that open space C is being counted as "active
recreation space" with a trail. However, no trail is shown on the
site plans. Furthermore, open space C will be inaccessible based
on the phase lines and lot locations. Please show a trail if one will
be provided and identify the trail type with a construction detail.
Identify how open space C will be accessed and used as active
recreation space. See comment #10c above for additional
information on the open space C access issue.

clarify this comment. The Road Plan has since been approved with the
landscape plan shown on this submission.
4. [32.7.9.7 (a)(4)] Lots 15, 33, 34, and 43 are double frontage lots. Please provide
screening for these lots.
a. [32.7.9.7] If landscaping will be provided, show how the screening
measures on each lot comply with Section 32.7.9.7 (c) and 32.7.9.7 (d).
Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Not screening measure are shown on
Sheet 18 for these lots. Please identify what screening measures will be
provided at the rear of these lots on the next submittal. Whether
landscaping or fencing is provided, the site plan must provide details of
the plant materials or fencing in accordance with Section 32.7.9.7 (c),
32.7.9.7 (d), and/or 32.7.9.7 (e). Rev. 2: Comment not fully addressed.
Lots 43 and 34 are still double -frontage lots. Per the Zoning
Ordinance definition of corner lots, a corner lot means a /of abutting
on two or more streets at their intersection. The front of a corner lot
shall be deemed to be the shortest of the sides fronting on streets
except where existing development of such lot shall already have
defined the front of such lot. The strip of open space provided along
adjacent to Fowler Street results in lots 34 and 43 only having
frontage along 1 street. Furthermore, in order for open space to
qualify as a screening measure for double -frontage lots, it must be a
minimum of 20' wide and currently it only measures 11' wide.
Therefore, the open space needs to be widened to 20' and
landscaping must be provided to screen these lots.
Response: A fence is provided for screening.
b. [32.7.9.7 (e)] If fencing will be installed, please show fencing locations on
each lot where required for screening. Provide a construction detailing
demonstrating that the fence is opaque and 6' in height. Rev. 1: Comment

Section 32.7.9.7 (e). Rev. 2: Comment stands pending applicant's re-
design of the open space strip and landscaping measures provided
to screen Lots 43 and 34.
Response: A fence is provided for screening. The construction detail
can be found on sheet 23.
5. [32.7.9.8 (c)] Please provide more information on how it was determined that the
"net site area" is 4.86 acres. The tree canopy requirement calculation on Sheet 20
should clearly identify the acreage of Phase 5A, and subtract the features listed
under Section 32.7.9.8 (c) that can be excluded from the calculation. Staff cannot
verify that the total canopy area required is correct as stated in the calculation on
Sheet 20 without this additional information. Additional landscaping may be required
in order to comply with the minimum 20% canopy required. Rev. 1: Comment not
fully addressed. There is a discrepancy between the acreage of open space
proposed in this phase between notes on Sheet 1 (2.07 acres) and Sheet 20 (2.98
acres). Please verify the actual net site area so that staff can verify that the tree
canopy provided meets the minimum 20% required. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
a. [32.7.9.8 (a)(4)] Revise the proposed tree canopy figure on Sheet 20 once
the plant schedules have been updated, per earlier comments. Rev. 1:
Comment stands. Once an additional tree is added to Fowler Street,
update the canopy provided figure so that it includes the coverage of the
new tree. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.

installed by the first planting season following the issuance of the first certificate of
occupancy within the development." Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
8. [32.7.9.9] Please add a note to the Landscape plans stating "Tree preservation
areas and screening on private lots shall be maintained in a healthy condition by the
current owner or a property owners' association, and replaced when necessary.
Replacement material shall comply with the approved landscape plan." Rev. 1:
Comment not addressed; this note is not provided on Sheet 20. Rev. 2: Comment
