1. [32.5.2(b)] The initial site plan is hereby approved for a maximum of 132 dwelling units, unless adequate density
calculations are provided by the applicant to demonstrate that a higher unit density development is permissible
under the Zoning Ordinance.
2. [Comment] Greenway. The Greenway note on Sheet 3 indicates that the proposed Greenway will be platted with
Phase 11 of Development. Phase 11 is nearing approval and did not include this portion of the Greenway. Review and
revise appropriately.
3. [32.5.2(n)] Sidewalk materials. Identify the surface material of the pedestrian paths within Open Space Band Open
Space C. Be advised, the path should be surfaced with concrete, similar to intersecting sidewalks, as these pathways
are segments within the primary pedestrian path system for the development.
4. [32.5.2(a)] Zoning. Include in the Zoning notes that TMP 56A2-01-62 is located in the Entrance Corridor.
5. [32.5.2(a), 32.5.2(d)] Managed steep slopes. Albemarle County GIS data shows managed slopes located along the
northern property boundary of TMP 56-57D. While a label was provided, locate the limits of managed steep slopes
areas on the property.
6. [32.5.2(r)] Legend. On Sheet 3, the Legend symbol for the "Limits of the Urban Density Residential Area" appears to
be missing. This could be a file error.
7. [32.5.2(b)] Recreation. The Cover Sheet notes that active and passive recreation areas are shown on Sheet 3.
However, Sheet 3 did not comprehensively identify all of recreational spaces and associated amenities that are
required by Section 4.16 of the Zoning Ordinance. Recreational amenities and details do not need to be shown with
initial site plans but please update the note accordingly prior to the submission of a final site plan.
8. [32.5.2(i)] Emergency access. A label on Sheet 5 indicates a detail for the Emergency Access and Bicycle/Pedestrian Access
Roadway is provided on Sheet 8. This detail did not appear to be included or, at least, labeled. Review and revise
accordingly. The design standard for this improvement should align with the maintenance agreement that was recorded
in DB 5420 PG 586.
9. [Comment] Affordable Housing. Be advised, any affordable units that are required to be affordable to achieve the
density bonus are subject to the requirements of Section 16.4.3.
WWW.ALBEMARLE.ORG
401 McIntire Roadl Charlottesville, VA22902-4596
10. [Comment] Roads. A road plan will be required and will need to be approved prior to final site plan approval. Review
of the road plan may generate additional comments on the final site plan.
11. [Comment] Landscaping. Proposed landscaping improvements, including street trees, will be reviewed with the final
site plan and road plan.
12. [Comment] Retaining wall. Is a retaining wall still proposed with the development? It did not appear one was provided
on Sheet 5, as indicated bya note on the Cover Sheet. If a retaining wall is provided and it crosses more than one
property line, a retaining wall easement will be needed prior to final site plan approval.
Variation to Location of Street Trees alone Proposed Private Street
The applicant requests a variation to the location of street trees required by Sec. 32.7.9.5. Avariation to this requirement is
allowed under 32.3.5(b), at the consideration of the agent. Per the applicant's letter of request, the applicant states that the
request is being made "to allow the street trees to be planted within the proposed planting strips adjacent to the proposed
sidewalk and along the property lines creating the separation between public amenity space and the private front yards of
the lots."
The requested variation to the location of street trees is approved subject to conditions. Staff has reviewed the requirements
of Sections 32.7.8.5 and 32.3.5(b) and finds that the applicant's proposal is of comparable quality to the requirements of the
ordinance and is consistent with the design permitted in the Neighborhood Model District which is a district promoted by
the County. This waiver is approved subject to the following condition:
1. Street trees along Lots 56-65 and Lots 86-97, as shown on the initial site plan titled "Glenbrook at Foothills -Phase
III, Initial Site Plan & Preliminary Plat," prepared by Collins Engineering, last revised May 20, 2021 maybe located
adjacent to the street or provided at the rear of the lots, adjacent to the sidewalk. Plantings shall meet the
requirements of Section 32.7.9.5.

1. A VSMP plan will be required and will need to be approved prior to Final Site Plan approval. Review of the VSMP
plan may generate additional comments on the Final Site Plan. Improvements should not be located in stream
buffers (for example, the sidewalk and patios shown on Lot 121).
2. A road plan will be required and will need to be approved prior to Final Site Plan approval. Review of the road plan
may generate additional comments on the Final Site Plan. The CG-2labels are pointingto driveways where a VDOT
standard driveway entrance should be used.

Howard Lagomarsino, hlaeomarsinoRalbemarle.org - Requests Changes
Per revised plans dated 5/20/21:
1. Fire apparatus access roads are required to provide access to all buildings and arranged for access within a 150 ft of
all sides of the ground level, with widths of the travel ways for the roads in the plan based on the height of the
building as such:
WWW.ALBEMARLE.ORG
401 McIntire Roadl Charlottesville, VA22902-4596
a. Based on the plans, I cannot determine exactly which lots are villas or townhouses. Notes indicate max.
height for villas is 25 ft and SFD is 30 ft. -Fire access roads to villas and sfd require an unobstructed travel
way width of 20 ft. and it appears the roads shown are appropriate for these types of homes.
b. Townhomes and the multi -family home notes indicate a max height of 35 ft for both. This requires the fire
apparatus access roads provide a 26 ft wide travel way. Current plans do not provide this width with the
parking proposed for the apartments, which I assume is the multi -family. The roads in front of townhomes
and the multi -family must provide 26 ft wide travel way width unobstructed.
2. Fire suppression, fire alerting systems and other building design features, such as exits, interior finishes, building
access etc., are the purview of the building official and required as directed by that office, in conjunction with the fire
marshal office. If fire suppression systems (sprinkler or standpipes) are installed the FDC must face the road, on
address side and there needs to be hydrant within 100 ft. of the FDC, arranged so that when hydrant and FDC are in
use for emergency operations, hose does not obstruct travel way.
3. Several areas show widths where parking is restricted entirely or on one side due to the limiting factor based on the
required travel way width. In these areas, no parking markings/signs are required to prevent obstruction of the
travel way by parked vehicles.
Albemarle County Service Authority
Richard Nelson, rnelson0serviceauthoritv.org - Requests Changes
1. Submit 3 copies of the utility plan and water/sewer data sheets to ACSA for review and approval.
2. RWSA sewer capacity certification will be required.
3. Dedication of ACSA utilities installed with Glenbrook at Foothills -Phase 1 will be required prior to site plan
approval.
Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority
Dyon Vega, dveaa0rivanna.ore -Requests Changes
1. Please show WL and Easement on all relevant pages. RWSA easement is only shown on sheet 2.

additional comments on the updated site plan.
Albemarle County Parks & Recreation
Tim Padalino, toadalino(a)albemarle.org - Requested Changes
1. Annotation on Sheet 3 ("Site Plan") states that the Greenway was platted with Phase II development. However,
annotation on Sheet 5 states "Variable width greenway easement to be platted with the Phase III Development."
Please revise to make these notes consistent and accurate.
2. Annotation on Sheet 5 ("Site Plan") states "Variable width greenway easement to be platted with the Phase I I I
Development." Therefore, the County hereby respectfully demands dedication of all greenway easement areas in
Phase II and Phase III that have not yet been dedicated. (Note: It is ACPR staff understanding that this greenway
easement dedication process is underway, in conjunction with the final plat for Glenbrook Phase I IB /
SUB202000222. Please contact ACPR staff if additional assistance or communication is required or requested.)
3. ACPR staff acknowledges revisions to correct some previous ACPR review comments, including comments relating
to the open space labels (F/G) and adding an inset map to show entirety of subject property. Thank you.

The following road names are acceptable:
ANLEE RD
MEYERS WAY
ARBOLEDA DR
LEEHAM ST
The following road names will need to be changed:
BARKLEY CT
There is already BARCLAY HL in the county which sounds to similar to BARKLEY. You could add a
word before or after to mitigate this such as Barkley View Ct or something of that sort.
Per Part I, Section 4-j of the County's Road Naming and Property Numbering Manual (page 10 of
PDF).
"No proposed name shall be a homophone or homograph of an official road name
or may be easily confused with an official road name (e.g., "Forrestview" and
"Forestvue" are homophones and "bow" in "Bow and Curtsie Ln" and "Bow Tie"
Dr" is a homograph).
This site will require a one (1) new private road name. Per Sec. 7-200-B of the County's Road
Naming and Property Numbering Ordinance (Page 2 of PDF).
"It is intended by this article that all roads within the County which serve or are designed
to serve three or more addressable structures will be named; and that all addressable
structures within the County will be assigned property numbers.
We recommend providing three (3) candidate names for each road to our office for
review, in case your first choices are not acceptable.

Re: SUB-2021-00060 — Glenbrook at Foothills — Phase III — Preliminary Plat - Review #2
SDP-2021-00024 - Glenbrook at Foothills — Phase III — ISP - Review #2
Dear Ms. Gleason:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Collins Engineering, dated May
20, 2021, and find the following:
1. Please provide stop signs for all stop locations.
2. Leeham Street Radii does not meet the minimum 200' radii. Please adjust the curvature of
Leeham St. to meet the required geometry for 25 mph roadway, per RDM Appendix B(1).
3. Commercial entrance spacing must be 200' for all entrances. Proposed private streets do not
appear to meet this spacing requirement per RDM B(1)-22 E.2.
4. Approved road plans meeting SSAR, and in compliance with the VDOT Road Design
Manual are required prior to final plat approval.
5. Landscaping plants and trees adjacent to the sight distance triangle will need to be
maintained in area between 2 and 7 feet above ground as a clear zone to preserve sight lines
and accommodate pedestrians.
6. Please include a note stating that VDOT will only maintain within drainage easements to the
extent necessary to protect the roadway from flooding or damage.
7. Sight lines will be required from all intersections including private streets and commercial
entrances.
8. Please remove all parking spaces within the sight triangles.
9. Please show sight lines from adjacent phase.
VirginiaDOT.org
WE KEEP VIRGINIA MOVING
10. Sight easement plats will be required for several lots as shown on both sheets labeled #4.
Please note sight easement plats will be required from the adjacent phase.
11. Please show No Parking within 20 feet of any intersection measured from the curb return of
the intersection per RDM Appendix A(1).
12. All "No parking" areas will be signed.
13. CG-12's appear to be missing from several intersections.
14. Utilities need to be shown and labeled in plan and profile view with calculation spreadsheets.
15. Water lines will be in centerline of road, not in wheel path. Water lines should be moved out
of asphalt area if possible.
16. Stubouts must be signed per the SSAR concerning potential/eventual street extension.
17. Please show where/how Park Ridge Drive connects to existing road on both ends of proposed
road.
18. Plan sheets have too many layering issues for a complete review.
19. Note that the final plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road Design Manual
Appendices B(1) and F, as well as any other applicable standards, regulations or other
requirements.
20. Due to the level of items noted in this review, these comments may not be exhaustive.
If further information is desired, please contact Max Greene at 434-422-9894.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process.
