Photo of the wall just completed at Bennington. This new wall will be the same and the same engineering. 2. Photo of where we had originally planned on having a curb cut for the existing house. It is quite obvious that the grading will not allow this arrangement. The land owner,Dr. Hurt and the VDOT representative, Dennis Seale,have agreed to place the driveway where shown on the drawing and the attached photo. The drive is near the intersection but VDOT felt this is acceptable since there is so little traffic. The reason for the driveway change is that the engineering drawings showed less grade difference that we experienced in the field. i z 4. }.. r vil• • lir-- •• ,, . 4 - r , ,_ 1 / r , • Y •• • lik.- ''' ' --•:, 1111-‘• - '•....

OOB LOR Attachments: OOB LOR-1 Plan.pdf I reviewed the retaining wall. It looks okay. There are no conflict with utilities and meets the visibility clearance.The only thing I want to add is that a building permit is required for walls. -Michelle From: Mark Keller[mailto:mkeller@terraconceptspc.com]( Sent:Wednesday,June 10,2015 2:39 PM To: Megan Yaniglos; 'Vito Cetta' Cc: Rebecca Ragsdale; Michelle Roberge; Lisa Green Subject: RE:OOB LOR Hey Megan- I have been following the exchanges on this project LOR and wanted to pass along today's revisions to you for a quick glance before making a re-submission. Briefly, here are the refinements I made... Clouded areas on the plan where changes were being proposed. Added large text notations with arrows to each of the clouds explaining what change is being requested. Even though sidewalk/street tree flip-flop is being handled separately, made a notation to this effect on plan because... After sidewalk shifts Vito wants to add a low retaining wall adjacent to the sidewalk he feels will be needed (also noted as part of LOR) Added Vito's new driveway location to existing home's lot. Made sure sight distance line work and notes showed up. Deleted units previously placed upon existing home's lot. Deleted two small ornamental trees previously located between deleted unit's driveways and instead extended street tree planting (1 for 2)and adjusted plant list and canopy calculation. Thanks for helping with this. I want to re-submit only when you feel I have things the way you want them. See what you think. -Mark From: Megan Yaniglos [mailto:myaniglos@albemarle.org] Sent: Wednesday,June 10, 2015 9:55 AM To: Vito Cetta; Keller Mark Cc: Rebecca Ragsdale; Michelle Roberge; Lisa Green Subject: RE: 00B LOR Vito, I spoke with engineering this morning and you can include the wall in the LOR. They will just review it for utility conflicts (if any) and site distance. So, if you could please add the site distance to the LOR as well, to be sure there are no conflicts there. i You can apply for the exception for the sidewalk with the ZMA that is currently in process. I will need the justification in order to process that. I have copied the section of the ordinance for your reference. It is in the subdivision ordinance under section 14-422. Let me know if you have further questions. Thank you, Megan Yanig/os, APA Principal Planner Community Development Department Planning Services ph: 434.296.5832 ext. 3004 2 F.

Megan, is this OK with you? 3 Mark, Some time soon the zoning adjustment will go before the planning commission which will deal with the affordable units. At that same hearing we want to apply for the sidewalk to me moved to the curb and a small retaining wall. Please adjust or change this drawing to show that change. Again, it is a separate application. Move the trees to the other side of the sidewalk as well. I will be gone from Friday of this week through all of next week and with no access to a phone. Could you change the sidewalk today please. Many thanks to both of you.

Here's what I did Clouded areas along SW side of Georgetown Road Extended where we are showing streetscape changes. Clouded former vegetable garden area that is now woodland garden. Added special text notes listed as LOR with leaders pointing into those clouds explaining what is proposed. Added PHASE LINES to plan. Added PHASE labels to plan elements/limits. Deleted units in Phase 2.as directed. Removed two small trees that were in front of these units and replaced them with 1 street tree (extension of theme) Adjusted Plant List and Canopy Calculation accordingly. Once you are comfortable with the graphics I will craft an itemized letter as well and submit. -Mark Vito Cetta, aia 1730 Owensfield Dr Charlottesville, VA 22901 home: 434-296-0003 cell: 434-531-2192 vitocetta@mac.com 4 Michelle Roberge From: Vito Cetta<vitocetta@me.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 09, 2015 4'37 PM To: Rebecca Ragsdale Cc: Lisa Green, Megan Yaniglos; Michelle Roberge Subject: ' Re: Walls, Out of Bounds Folks, This is a 2'-6"high wall adjacent to the sidewalk.

Is it a wall already shown on plans that is getting taller or a new retaining wall not previously shown on plans? We've included Michelle on your question and she has some preliminary Engineering guidance: B. Retaining Walls: 1.A building permit is required for walls. Please refer to the Building Official. 2. Engineering details and computations may be required on site plans where walls will support or potentially conflict with stormwater facilities,travelways,parking,or present a safety concern.This includes where walls are placed too close(a distance equal to the wall height)to property lines,such that they may affect neighboring property. In such cases the following items will be required. a.A typical detail.(VDOT standard walls are acceptable)b.specific details as required for unusual or possibly conflicting areas.An example is where utilities are expected to go through walls or footings. c.certified computations to support the design.All soil and bearing assumptions,as well as reinforcement materials and assumed loadings must be-included. 3.Safety provisions for vehicles and pedestrians may be required for walls over 30"high. This is typically a guardrail,wall,or fencing. -Michelle Thanks, Rebecca Rebecca Ragsdale,Senior Planner County of Albemarle Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville,VA 22902-4596 (434)296-5832 Ext.3226 E-mail: rragsdale@albemarle.org Original Message From:Vito Cetta [mailto:vitocetta@me.com] Sent:Tuesday,June 09, 2015 11:15 AM To: Rebecca Ragsdale Cc: Lisa Green; Megan Yaniglos Subject:Walls,Out of Bounds Rebecca, Does the county have a regulation concerning the height of retaining walls in a private ROW?
