Private Street Request
Per 14-233(B)(1), the agent may authorize one (1) or more new private streets in the Development Areas when the proposed
private street(s) will be in a subdivision containing attached residential units.
In accordance with 14-234(C), the agent may authorize one (1) more private streets if it finds that:
1. The private street will be adequate to carry the traffic volume which maybe reasonably expected to be generated by the
subdivision;
Engineering has reviewed the request and no objection to the private street request.
2. The comprehensive plan does not provide for a public street in the approximate location of the proposed private street;
The Crozet Master Plan (in the Comprehensive Plan) does not provide for a public street in this location.
3. The fee of the private street will be owned by the owner of each lot abutting the right-of-way thereof or by an association
composed of the owners of all lots in the subdivision, subject in either case to any easement for the benefit of all lots served by
the street;
Note #1 on Sheet 4 indicates that the proposed private street will be owned and maintained by the HOA. A private
street maintenance agreement, meeting the requirements of 14-317,will be required prior to final plat approval.
4. Except where required by the commission to serve a specific public purpose, the private street will not serve through traffic
nor intersect the state highway system in more than one location; and
Based on the proposed street layout, the western end of the proposed private street will terminate at the
intersection of a public street while the eastern terminus will become an alleyway. No other intersections along the
private street segment are proposed. Therefore, the private street will not intersect the state highway system in
more than one location.
Also, based on the configuration of the proposed lots and overall street grid, staff find that the proposed private
street will not serve through traffic. The overall street layout of the proposed development provides a grid -like
vehicular network in which public roads will provide direct access to many of the proposed lots as well as circulation
around the neighborhood. The proposed private street will act more similarly to an alleyway by providing access to
certain driveways located in a mid -block area. I n this way, the private street is not expected to serve general through
traffic - as it does not provide a shorter or sole means of connection between areas - but will, instead, likely be
limited to local, residential use. This layout is simiIartothat encouraged by the Neighborhood Model.
5. If applicable, the private street has been approved in accordance with section 30.3, flood hazard overlay district, of the
zoning ordinance and other applicable law.
The subject property is not located within the Flood Hazard overlay district.
Based on factors considered herein, staff hereby administratively approves the private street request.
Special Exceptions -Sidewalks and Planting Strips
At their meeting on September 28, 2021, the Planning Commission approved the applicant's request for variations to the
private street sidewalks and planting strips with the following conditions:
1. The design of the sidewalk and planting strips must be in accord with the provisions of Section 14-422, with the
exception of the location of these elements which may be located in general accord with the layout shown for Lots
56-65 and Lots 86-97, as shown in the preliminary plat titled "Glenbrook at Foothills - Phase 111, Initial Site Plan &
Preliminary Plat;' prepared by Collins Engineering, last revised May 20, 2021.
2. A maintenance agreement for the sidewalks and planting strips associated with the private street must be recorded
with the final plat.
A formal action letter regarding the aforementioned Planning Commission approval will be forthcoming.

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 III
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 IIB /
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

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
