Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) —Cameron Langille, blanig llegalbemarle.org —Required changes:
Comments to be addressed prior to initial site plan approval:
1. [32.4.2.1 (f)] The notification fee of $435.00 has not yet been paid. This fee will need to be paid by
Friday June 4, 2021 in order for the initial site plan to be approved. Comment addressed,
outstanding fee has been paid.
Comments to be addressed prior to final site plan approval:
1. A final site plan meeting all the requirements of section 32.6 of Chapter 18 of the Code.
2. [ZMA2004-07] The following special exceptions are required prior to site plan approval. Additional
special exceptions may be required if the site plan is not revised in order to meet requirements of the
COD and/or the Zoning Ordinance.
a. To allow additional townhomes (unit type) to be constructed in Block 10 of Belvedere. The
special exception for variation #59 only allowed two (2) townhomes to be included in Block
10, and these have already been built as part of Phase WA-2. A special exception must be
approved by the Board of Supervisors (BOS) to allow the additional units requested across
both Block I OA and 1 OB. Currently, SE202100015 is in review with staff that proposed
dwelling unit/density increases for Block 10, but this has not yet been acted on by the Board.
3. [ZMA2004-07] The two townhome units (previously approved during review of Phase IVA-2) that
are part of Block 10 should be shown as "Existing townhomes" on the site plan and be included in
any Block 10 charts/calculation.
a. Specify the acreage of each of these parcels in the site data table.
4. [ZMA2004-07 and 32.5.2 (i)] Please make the revisions to proposed streets as outlined below.
a. Hilah Alley — The Application Plan (Exhibit 2C) and Code of Development (page 34)
identify this as a private residential alleyway with 2 vehicular travel lanes that has a minimum
paved width of 14.' Please identify the paved width of the alley. Currently, the plan only
states that it is a 20' right-of-way. Per, comment #4b below, does the plan intend to indicate
that the paved width of the alley is actually 20' as required by Fire Rescue?
b. See Fire Rescue comment #1. Hilah Alley must be designed to the minimum standards of
fire apparatus access roads. Please consult with Fire Recue staff to verify the minimum
improvement standards required to mee this. The alley may need to be widened and the
surface materials may need to change in order to address this comment.
5. [32.5.1(c)] Address the following:
a. Be sure that all proposed lots lines, right-of-way boundaries, and other physical
improvements visible on the plan are labeled and dimensioned.
6. [ZMA2004-07] As provided in previous Belvedere projects, include a chart that specifies the
following:
a. Maximum & minimum residential densities permitted (Tables 1 & 2) for each block and for
each type of unit from the approved rezoning and variations;
b. The number of units that have already been built for each block;
c. The number of units that have been platted but not built;
d. Number of units proposed in Block IOA;
e. Number of units proposed with this site plan for Belvedere Phase 3 Block 1 OB;
f. The total number of units remaining for each block; and
g. The totals for each of the columns at the bottom of the chart. Ensure that Block 10 will meet
these minimums and maximums or request the special exceptions specified in comment #3
above.
[ZMA2004-07] As provided in previous Belvedere projects include in this site plan a chart that
includes the following:
a. The information from Table 4 Green Space Tabulation in the most recent Code of
Development (as Revised: July 22, 2014) and all of the approved variations since the last
update of the COD as the `Approved with Rezoning';
b. Acreages of what has already been provided & platted;
c. Acreage proposed with Belvedere Phase 3 Block IOA and Block 1013;
d. The difference from the rezoning; and
e. Totals for all of Belvedere. Since Block 10 is being proposed in two parts and will be platted
and recorded separately, there should be a separate lines for both Block IOA and 1 OB. Ensure
that Block 10 will meet the minimums and maximum acreage requirements or request the
special exception as mentioned in comment #3 above.
8. [ZMA2004-07] On the coversheet, in the "Open Space" portion of the Site Data, ensure all required
Block 10 open space is accounted for on the final site plan. Only 0.13 acres of open space in Block
IOB is specified on the cover sheet. As of variation #54, Block 10 included the following minimum
sizes for each of the open space areas:

a. A tot lot will be required within Block 10, either in Park M (Block 10A) or Park L (Block

to be shown on that initial site plan. However, if the tot lot will be provided in Park L, it will
need to be shown on the final site plan for Block IOB. Please be sure to show it on either the
final site plan for Block I OA or IOB.
12. [32.5.2 (b)] Address the following in reference to provided parking:
a. Be aware that parking can only be included on driveways that have an 18' depth between the
sidewalk and structure. The 16' maximum setback for Belvedere was not designed for front
loading small lot residential units. Revise the "Provided Parking" calculation on the
coversheet to only count surface parking spaces that meet the minimum depth of 18'.
b. Show dimensions on each driveway.
c. Add a note that states that parking is not allowed in any driveway that does not meet the
minimum size requirements. If a minimum of 18' is not available in the driveways as

RE: Belvedere, Phase 3, Block 10-B
Initial Site Plan
SDP2021-28
Mr. Langille:
As requested, I have reviewed the Initial Site Plan, dated 4/5/21, for the proposed
development for compliance with VDH regulations. It appears that all proposed
construction is to connect to public water and sewer systems, and there are no existing
septic systems or wells within the area to be developed.
Therefore, I recommend approval of the preliminary plat.
If there are any questions or you wish to discuss, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
Sincerely,
