residential density.
6. [18-32.5.2.b] Written schedules or data. Revise note to read"office use"instead of
"commercial use", for Parking Tabulations and Square Footage, as the office use has
specific parking requirements that are distinct from other commercial uses, on SP2.

The designation of commercial space has been maintained throughout the rest of SP2 due to the fact
that the club was originally a kidney dialysis center and the commercial use may change in the
future.

10. [18-32.5.2.d] In the development areas, the critical slopes ordinance has been revised to
create an overlay map of'managed' and 'preserved' steep slopes. Please remove all
reference to "critical slopes" (SP2).
RESPONSE: All critical slopes are now identified as managed or preserved slopes. The reference
to critical slopes waiver on SP2 recognizes that a critical slopes waiver was approved in a previous
version of the Albemarle Code. This is for reference only.
11. [18-32.5.2.m] Ingress and egress. The location of existing and proposed ingress to and
egress from the property, showing the distance to the centerline of the nearest existing
street'intersection.
RESPONSE: The location of ingress/egress and distance to the centerline of the nearest existing
street intersection are shown on SP3.
12. [18-32.5.2.1] Existing and proposed utilities. Label all utilities as either existing or
proposed. Include the deed book and page number of all existing easements. Proposed
easements that are not yet recorded must be recorded with an easement plat prior to final
site plan approval.
RESPONSE: All existing utilities with deed book and page number can be found on SP3. All
proposed utilities can be found on the layout plan sheet SP5 and SP6.
13. [18-32.5.2.1 and 18-4.11.4] Existing and proposed utilities. Revise the easements that are
conflicting with any structures. See Lot 10 as an example (appears easement conflicting
with deck).
RESPONSE: There are no easement conflicts with this submittal. Although difficult to see there is
a 0.01' difference between the patio on lot 10 and the stormwater easement. I am uncertain that a
concrete patio can have a conflict with an easement,whereas a deck certainly would.
14. [18-4.12.6] Minimum number of parking spaces. Include the number of bedrooms for the
Townhomes in order to ensure that parking has been calculated correctly on SP2.
RESPONSE: We have provided (2) spaces and one (1) for every (4) four units which is the
maximum required for two(2)or more bedrooms.
15. [18-4.12.6] Minimum number of parking spaces. Add maximum number of employees
for the office use to SP2.
RESPONSE: The approved parking reduction request was for 65 spaces. 65 spaces have been
provided. See SP2 for calculations.

16. [18-4.12.6] Minimum number of parking spaces. Include a copy of the previously
approved parking waiver, such as a letter or an email.
RESPONSE: Per conversation with Tori the approved parking waiver letter or email was not
necessary.
17. [18-4.12.13] Dumpster pad placement. The location of the dumpster pad appears to be
interfering with two parking spaces. Revise the placement of the dumpster pad.
RESPONSE: The concrete dumpster pad in front of the dumpster is at grade with the rest of the
parking lot. The concrete pad is not blocking any space. The dumpster pad is not in conflict with
the parking spaces. ,
18. [18-4.12.4(b)]ADA accessible spaces. Label the van-accessible ADA spaces as "van".
RESPONSE: Van ADA parking spaces have been provided with this submittal.
19. [18-4.12.5] Location of parking areas. Parking is required to be on the same lot as the
primary use, except as authorized by 18-4.12.8. The lot lines for all of the lots overlap
with the parking spaces in such a way that the parking spaces are split by the lot lines.
Some lots contain one full parking space and one or two parts of other parking spaces,
however only some lots (1, 2, 6, 10, 11, 15, 19, 20, 28 and 32) contain at least two full
parking spaces. A shared parking agreement will be required for the lots for the
townhomes.
RESPONSE: The private road ROW has been extended to the edge of the parking stalls. An access
easement has been provided from the ROW to 1'behind the sidewalk. No shared parking agreement
is necessary.
20. [18-4.12.16(c)] Parking space widths. A parking space between Lots 7 and 8 appears to
be 8.5', and four parking spaces in front of Lot 10 appear to be 9.5' wide. Revise to meet
the 9' width requirement. The two end parking spaces in the row of spaces in front of
Lots 25-32 also do not appear to be sufficiently wide. They appear to be 7' and 8' wide,
which is below the 9' width requirement.
RESPONSE: The parking space between Lots 7 and 8 has been updated. The parking space in
front of Lot 10 will remain the same. These are on a curve and the spaces can be a bit larger in these
cases. The parking width satisfies the minimum required by Albemarle County Code. The parking
spaces in front of Lot 25 and 32 include the 2' CG-6. The spaces are 9'wide here.

27. [18-32.7.9.5(d)] Landscaping along streets. Street trees are required for private and
public streets. 1 large street tree is required every 50' of frontage, or 1 medium shade tree
every 40' of frontage. Sections of the private streets do not appear to meet this
requirement. See Code for full requirements.
RESPONSE: Landscaping along streets has been maximized. Some existing trees are being used
for this requirement. Other areas have existing or proposed utilities that do not allow trees in these
areas. •
28. [18-32.7.9.7(e)] Screening. Include the height of the proposed screening fences.Note that
the minimum height is 6'.
RESPONSE: A 6' screening fence detail has been provided on sheet SP11.
29..[18-32.7.9.7(a)(4)] Double frontage lots.Double frontage lots need to be sufficiently
screened from the public ROW. Lot 11 does not appear to be sufficiently screened from
Worth Crossing.
RESPONSE: A screening fence has been provided where trees are not allowed in the easements.
30. [18-32.7.9.7(a)(2)] Parking areas. Parking areas need to be screened from adjacent
residential districts. The parking for Lots 11-14 does not appear to be sufficiently
screened from the adjacent property. Show if existing trees/landscaping will be preserved
to provide screening.
RESPONSE: A screening fence has been provided where trees are not allowed in the easements.
31. [18-32.7.9.8(b)] Tree canopy. In order to count toward the tree canopy requirement,
plants/trees must exceed 5' in height at a maturity of 10 years after planting. Some of the
landscaping shown on SP11 is 5' or less at maturity, and therefore does not count toward
this requirement. The residential tree canopy calculations appear to now be below the
requirement. Please revise to meet the requirement.
RESPONSE: The planting data has been updated with this submittal. A tree that has a minimum
caliper of 2 to 2.5"is considered to be approximately 5' in height.
32. [18-4.16.1(3)] Minimum area. Note that groundcover shall consist of-turf grass or
contained mulch such as pine bark, shredded tires, or pea gravel for recreational areas.

not possible to read the information on the types of lights provided on SP12 and SP13.
RESPONSE: The outdoor lighting plan has been updated with this submittal.
37. [18-4.17.4] Standards. Any outdoor luminaire that emits 3,000 or more lumens must be a
full cutoff luminaire. Therefore, both the Mediterranean light and the KVF2 light must be
full cutoff, or a different type of luminaire must be chosen that is less than 3,000 lumens.
The Mediterranean light is not full cutoff and does not comply. The KVF2 light has a
light bulb that hangs down, and therefore may not be full cutoff
RESPONSE: Full cutoff lights have been provided with this submittal.
38. [18-32.7.2.3] Sidewalks. Sidewalks or trails must be provided on both sides of Lois Lane.
The trail on the East side may serve as pedestrian connectivity. A sidewalk is needed on
the West side and must connect to the other sidewalks shown.
RESPONSE: The sidewalk will not be provided on this side of Lois Lane. There is enough
connectivity with the trail on the eastern side of Lois Lane. A sidewalk on the west side of Lois Lane
will result in a 4'retaining wall that can be graded out as of now. This plan was previously approved
with this layout and should be approved again. There are sidewalks connecting every portion of the
project to all internal and external roads and trails.

RESPONSE: Comment noted. VDOT can build the sidewalks in their ROW.
42. [Comment] Additional clarification is needed for the curb and planting strip that restricts
vehicle access between Lots 1 and 15. It appears to still contain curb and gutter, which
would no longer be needed.Additional details are needed to determine what the use and
structure of this section is. Fire/Rescue has comments as well, as there are more than 30
lots with only one point of access, and this section may need to be changed.
RESPONSE: The vehicle access has been shown as a paved surface with bollards to block access
for residents but allow a second point of access for fire and rescue.
43. [Comment] Include one'sheet that shows an overall detailed layout of the proposed site
design. All of the detailed pages are split into two pages. This is helpful for measuring
and level of detail,however there should also be one sheet showing the entire site.

of initial site plan approval persists, and that request for approval of private streets in the
development area is required.
RESPONSE: Comment noted.
5. Street design standards: Engineering recently met with RGA(10/4/18)to discuss
conceptual layout for 770 Rio Road East. VDOT and AASHTO standards apply to street
design for six or more lots, and apply to Timberwood Square. If RGA can accept county
position that in this particular instance, since a Road Plan CL radius of 110' (Lois Lane)
was accepted in 2016, and Road Plan was virtually approved,provided RGA does not
reference 110' CL radius in future applications unless supported by VDOT/AASHTO

standards,then Engineering will not reverse and require what would amount to major
redesign of Lois Lane. Options: Indicate understanding of County willingness to approve
a 110' CL radius for Lois Lane; identify VDOT/AASHTO reference to 110' CL radius
(Engineering is unaware of a CL radius standard this low); redesign Lois Lane to meet
VDOT/AASHTO CL radii standards. Engineering welcomes RGA acceptance that if
110' CL radius is less than published applicable VDOT/AASHTO standards,
Engineering does not in the future intend to accept 110' (or any measure of) radius that
does not meet VDOT/AASHTO minimum design parameters.
RESPONSE: The 110' radius is allowed in granfathered developments with an ADT less than 400.
6. Submit Road Plan that addresses remaining Road Plan review comments, at earliest
convenience. Engineering requests cloud revisions for any design change made to

state 'Road Plan submittal identical with most recent Road Plan for Timberwood Square,
SUB201500077.' Again,please show any changes as cloud revisions.
RESPONSE: Comment noted. Due to the nature of these comments there have been too many
changes to just cloud them on the plans. Please review accordingly.
