MEMORANDUM
To: Andrew Vinisky, Habitat for Humanity
From: Megan Nedostup
Date: June 7. 2021
Re: SDP2021-35 Southwood Blocks 11 and 12- Initial Site Plan

Telephone: (434) 296-5832 ext.3004
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. The site plan has an outstanding fee of $395 for mailing/notice. Fee must be paid prior to approval of initial site
plan.
2. [32.5.2 (a)] QC the plans to make sure relevant information has been updated across all submitted plans and
included in all plans and charts.
3. Why is the road to access into Block 12 private? A private street request will need to be made and information
should be provided in accordance with 14-234 with the subdivision plat for the road. Please note, private roads
are the exception and a justification as to why it cannot be public must be made.
4. The private street design within Block 11/10 is shown differently on the approved initial (SDP2021-006) than what
is depicted on these plans. The plans submitted show parallel parking, which was not shown on the initial for that
area/block. All plans must match. Are those parking spaces needed for this submittal? Which developer will be
required to build the street and associated parking? It is unclear which plan will be required to build which
improvements and could cause certificates of occupancy to be held up if the plans are not clear on which
improvements are to be built with each plan/developer.
5. [32.5.2 (a)] A boundary line adjustment will be needed prior to final site plan approval for the requirements in the
ordinance and COD 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.
6. [COD page 20] Provide the top of wall and bottom of wall for all walls. In addition, retaining walls are not permitted
to be higher than 6', per the code of development unless approved by the Director of Community Development.
7. [32.5.2(b); 32.5.2(q)] The trip generation should be cumulative, revise to include all submitted blocks in Phase 1.
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); 4.12.61 Revise parking chart to indicate how many spaces are required and how many are provided. It
is unclear what is required.
9. [4.12.15] Parking spaces less than 18' in length must have a 2' overhang. Show the 2' overhang to ensure that
there are no conflicts with proposed grading, landscaping, etc.
10. [32.5.2 (a)] Include the ZMA number on the plans with the zoning district note (ZMA2018-003).
11. [32.5.2 (b)] Recommend moving the tracking information for both the units/density (Table 4) and the open
space/amenities (Table 7) to sheet 2 so that all the tracking information is on one sheet. In addition, there has
been a major amendment submitted for Village 1 (SDP2021-19), please make sure all information is captured on
all plans and is accurate within the tables.
12. [32.5.2 (n)] Provide the dimensions for all pavement, sidewalks, etc. Some are labeled, but there are areas that
are not dimensioned.
13. [32.5.2(n)] Label and provide dimensions for all walls.
14. [32.5.2(n)] If lighting will be provided, it will need to shown and a lighting and photometric plan must be submitted
with the final site plan in accordance with 4.17. All lighting over 3000 lumens must be cut off.
15. [ZMA; Code of Development, page 13, 15] Show and label the 30' trail buffer area/line on all sheets, it is hard to
determine if there is a conflict with parking without it being labeled.
16. [32.5.2 (a)] Please note that the "Easement Plan" sheets are not and will not be approved with this site plan. A
subdivision plat will need to be submitted for the easements. Easements can still be shown for reference, but a
separate submittal and approval will need to occur. This information should be incorporated into other sheets and
these sheets should be removed.
17. [32.7.2.3] Pedestrian access.
a. Provide ADA compliant ramps to connect sidewalks. There are sidewalks located within the parking
areas in Block 11 that would connect to adjacent blocks within other blocks and ramps should be
provided to allow safe access for pedestrians and others with mobility impairments.
b. The sidewalk that "jogs" within Block 12 would be difficult to traverse for people with impairments and
the corner will most likely end up being a dirt path. Could the sidewalk be adjusted on the corner with
the radius to create a straight sidewalk along the proposed street?
c. Curb ramps and sidewalk connections should be provided to allow pedestrian access to the existing
Southwood to these blocks.
BENCH BRAIN � / l�r r
B000116
\ _ _
18. [32.5.2(u)] For NMDs the following is required in the site plan:
1. A phasing plan (this is important for comment #3 above)
2. Building elevations for all new or modified structures
19. [ZMA; COD page 15] It appears on the greenspace chart that the amount of greenspace provide is way under
what is required. QC all plans and accurately depict and make adjustments as needed to the required
greenspace.
20. [ZMA; COD page 16] Provide information regarding the amenity space as discussed including seating,
landscaping, etc that will be provided (see email dated 3/25/2021 to Whitney McDermott). Not enough detail is
provided to for approval compared to what is required under the code of development. In addition, the 6,500 sq it
should not include right of way.
21. 132.5.7.9.71 Parking spaces of four spaces or more must be screened from streets and residential zoned areas in
accordance with this section. Screening needs to be provided for the parking.
22. [32.5.7.9] Dumpster pads will need to be screened in accordance with this section.
23. [32.5.7.9] Street trees cannot be placed on top of pipes. In addition, proposed easements may not permit trees
within them. It is difficult to determine since only the utilities and not the easements are shown on the landscape
plans. Show the utilities and easements so that it can be determined if the proposed landscaping is outside of the
easements and/or permitted within the easements.

Reviewer: Howard Lagomarsino
Fire Rescue
1) Adjust the follow turn radii to comply with fire apparetus access road requirements:
Requested Changes
a) Southwood Apartments B access from roadway into parking lot of apartments, these turn radii need to be 25 ft.
b) The east entrance has a portion turning right that dead ends and turning left crosses the front of the building, the turn
radius for the left turn accessing across the front of the building shows a 9 ft turn radius, this needs to be 25 ft
c) The west entrance hasa left turn to a dead end and a right turn that crosses the front of the building. The turn radius for
the right turn ishows a 5 ft turn radius, this needs to be a 25 ft radius
d) The turn radii from East Street into Southwood Apartment A, Buildings 1 and 2, need to be 25 feet
e) The turn radii inside the parking area for Southwood Apartment A - buildings 1 and 2 need to be 25 ft where they
currently show a 15 ft turn raddius and where the hydrant is locating (currently showing a section at 12 ft and
a section at 3 ft)
2) For Southwood Apartments A - Building 1 and 2 - the entrance and entire lot serves as the Fire appartus access road, due
to height of proposed buildings over 30 feet tall, the entire route needs to have a travelway width of 26 ft
3) No parking signs are needed on the east side of East Street, and at hydrants
4) Parking spaces obstruct the FDC's, free standing connections at the hydrants for each building would eliminate this without
adjusting parking layout
10) Provide a note of the required ISO fire calculation for the buildings
11) Indicate on the plan the latest ACSW flow test to ensure adequate fire flow per calculation in comment # 10
12) There may be more than one hydrant for the each set of buildings:
a) Provide the locations of required fire hydrants as determined by calculations in # 10 with spacing in accordance with the
required fire flow calculation (minimum of 500 feet and arranged so that no building is more than 250 feet from a
hydrant).

Megan,
RWSA has reviewed the Southwood Blocks 11 and 12 Initial Site plan dated 4/5/21 and has the following
comments.
General comments:
Was the water connection made for a previous plan already? I know we needed to close a valve before you made
a connection to the proposed waterline. I just want to make sure that was already taken care of or planned for in
the previous Southwood phase.
RWSA will require a sewer flow acceptance prior to final site plan approval.
The request will need to be sent to us by ACSA and will include the following:
• Estimated average daily dry weather sewage flow (ADDWF)
• Point of connection into RWSA system (which manhole)
• Number of units/square footage
• Estimated in-service date
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Dyon Vega
