Home My WebLink AboutSDP202100013 Review Comments Final Site Plan and Comps. 2021-07-14�� OF ALB GIRGIN1P47 COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road, North Wing Charlottesville, Virginia 22902-4596 Phone (434) 296-5832 Memorandum To: Scott Collins, Collins Engineering (scott@collins-en ing eering com) From: Mariah Gleason Division: Community Development — Planning Date: April 16, 2021 Revision 1: July 14, 2021 Subject: SDP202100013 Glenbrook at Foothill Crossing Phase V — Final Site Plan The final site plan referenced above has been reviewed by the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department of Community Development (CDD) and by other members of the Site Review Committee (SRC). The Planner will approve the plan when the following items (from the Planner and from other SRC plan reviewers) have been satisfactorily addressed and when all SRC plan reviewers have indicated in writing their tentative approvals. [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.] 1. [Comment] Stream buffer. Please confirm the source of the stream buffer location. Please note, the stream buffer location must be based on an official survey or Albemarle County GIS and the linework needs to be consistent across all plans/plats for this development. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. 2. [32.5.2(i)] Sidewalk easement. An off -site easement on TMP 56A2-1-72A (Claudius Crozet Park) will be needed to facilitate the sidewalk connection from this development to the existing sidewalk in Crozet Park. Please submit an easement to the County for review. This easement must be recorded and noted on the site plan prior to final site plan approval. Rev. 1: Comment remains. Staff acknowledges that an easement plat has been submitted for County review. Thank you. Please revise the plan to show the offsite easement area and include a label for the future deed book and page reference, as this information will serve to confirm that the condition of the sidewalk waiver approval is being met. 3. [32.7.9] Landscape plan. a. Thank you for aligning the plan map with the plant legend. Please also revise the Shumard Oak line item, as the botanical name and common name seem to be switched. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. b. Comparing the final site plan with the approved initial site plan, the placement and extent of the proposed streets did not change between submissions. Staff understands the total street frontage for Indigo Rd was reduced by the removal of off -site frontage areas, however, what informed the reduction of the total street frontage along Crimson St? Rev. 1: Comment addressed. c. Please update the "Total Site Area" to 5.842 so the subsequent landscape calculations are based off the same property acreage provided on Sheet 1, instead of 5.841. The noted site acreage should remain consistent throughout the entire document. Rev. 1: Comment remains. Please update the site acreage and subsequent calculations. d. Remove or adjust "proposed street trees (typ.)" label from Lot 4. It does not currently point to a tree on the plan. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. 4. [32.5.2(i)] Streets a. On Sheet 3, provide a typical right-of-way width measurement on Crimson St for areas where on -street parking is proposed. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. b. The plan map on Sheet 3 shows an on -street parking space width of 8ft along Indigo Rd, while the cross- section for Indigo Rd, provided on Sheet 9, notes a 9ft parking space width. Revise the plan to consistently note/depict at least a 9ft on -street parking space width. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. c. Similarly, the plan map on Sheet 3 depicts an on -street parking space width of 9ft along Crimson St, while the cross section for Crimson St, provided on Sheet 9, shows and notes an 8ft on -street parking space width. Revise the plan to consistently note/depict at least a 9ft on -street parking space width. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. d. On Sheet 3, please revise the emergency access DB/PG labels (on TMP 56-57133 and TMP 56-57B1) to identify the path by the same proposed language that is used by the easement plats: "20' Emergency Access Road and Bicycle & Pedestrian Path Easement". Rev. 1: Comment partially addressed. Please update the label for the aforementioned easement to align with the name provided by the associated easement plat (SUB202000229) - "20ft Emergency Access Road and Bicycle & Pedestrian Path Easement". ao'EMERGEN VACCESS \ \ ROAD EASEMENT NEW 20' EMERGENC De.

[Comment] Recreation plan. In conversations and materials that were shared by the applicant/developer team, it seems the development might be exploring an amended recreation plan. If the development decides to move forward with an alternative plan or offering of amenities, please provide a recreation substitution request in a future submittal and integrate the proposed amenities (trails, equipment, etc) into the site plan and easement plat. Rev. 1: Thank you for submitting the recreation substitution plan, contained in Sheet 13 of the revised plan dated 05/07/21. The substitution plan has been reviewed and is hereby administratively approved by the Director of Planning, with the exception of the "maintain connection to trail/bridge" feature, which should be removed from the plan. While this connection could be beneficial to the overall recreation amenities within this area, this feature is largely off -site and not in alignment with neighboring plats/plans. 6. [32.5.2(a)] Overlay district. In the zoning notes on Sheet I, revise the "Managed Slopes Overlay District" to "Managed Steep Slopes Overlay District". Rev. 1: Comment addressed. 7. [32.5.2(n)] Buildingfootprint. Provide the typical building footprint square footage in the unit type layout graphic, or another appropriate area on the plan. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. 8. [32.5.2(a)] Abutting property. Label and provide information for TMP 56A2-4-A4. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. 9. [Comment] Benchmarks. Provided reference benchmarks used for surveys, if not provided already. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. 10. [32.5.2(i)] Easements. Easements needed to facilitate this development must be recorded and noted on the final site plan prior to final site plan approval. It appears many placeholders have already been included in the plan sets. Staff anticipates this information will be provided once it is known. Rev. 1: Comment remains. Additional comments based on revised plan dated 05/07/21: 11. [32.5.2(a)] Please update the name of the property owner on the Cover Sheet and Existing Conditions Sheet to reflect the owner's name change to "Stanley Martin Homes". 12. [32.6.2(1)] Please update the Recreation Notes on the Cover Sheet to reflect the alternative amenities provided by the approved recreation substitution plan. 13. [General Comment] On Sheet 2, connect the "100ft Stream Buffer" label located on TMP 56-57133 with the corresponding linework. 14. [General Comment] As discussed yesterday over the phone, there is currently a conflict in the plan around the proposed ground cover in the northwest corner of the parcel. Sheet 11 identifies this as a tree preservation area while Sheet 13 identifies this as a meadow. Please revise the plan to consistently note the intended features for this area. (Note: If this area will be a meadow, it cannot be mowed more than four (4) times a year, per the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement.)
