Re: SUB 2000-081 Foxcroft Phase IV Revised Preliminary Plat dated 6/12/00
Dear Tom:
Pursuant to Section 14-219 of the Code of Albemarle approval of the above referenced subdivision plat
has been denied. This action has been taken because the site plan has not been revised to include required
revisions of the Site Review Committee.Those items that have not been addressed are:
1. Although the applicant included proposed shared driveway locations for lots 6-12 with this plat
revision,the frontage widths for lots 6-12 are still inadequate to construct driveway entrances per
VDOT standards. VDOT's PE-1 standard requires a minimum driveway separation of 52 feet. [14-
504C].
2. No proposed grading is indicated for last three hundred feet of Foxvale Lane, including its cul-de-sac.
Please show the proposed grading,with spot elevations if necessary. [14-302T]
3. Proposed road grading must provide a six percent or flatter slope through the cul-de-sacs. [AASHTO
Ramp Safety Guidelines]
4. Grading is shown incorrectly. The proposed grading appears to indicate that the cul-de-sac ditches
are located inside the edge of pavement. [14-302T, 14-304, 14-519A]
5. The proposed western Lake Tree Court cul-de-sac contours do not appear to tie into existing contours.
[14-302T]
6. You have not shown how a buildable lot is possible for lot 30. It appears that over half the lot area is
affected by the proposed 3:1 roadway cut slope. [14-302T] The lot 30 driveway would have a slope
of 33%unless the home builder does significant grading.
7. It appears as though more grading is required below the bend around lot 27 and above the cul-de-sac
at lot.Proposed contours should be provided at intervals that tie into existing contours. [18-32.5.6d
8. It must be demonstrated that Lots 19 has a building site that conforms to Section 4.2.2.2.a. of the
Zoning Ordinance. The site shall be of adequate area to accommodate the proposed residential umt(s)
together with an area equivalent to the sum of the applicable yard areas. The applicant may need to
reconfigure the lot or file a written request for Planning Commission modification in accord with
Section 4.2.5.
9. The 20'buffer required by ZMA 95-19 is not shown or labeled correctly. The applicant can create
additional open space if that is the intention but it should be clearly delineated and labeled separately
from the required buffer.
You may resubmit the plan, containing all required revisions,within 15 days of the mailing of this notice
of denial along with a fee of$50. If a revised plan and fee are not received within 15 days the
preliminary site plan shall be deemed to be denied and a new application and fee shall be required for
submittal of the preliminary site plan.
In accord with Section 32.4.2.7 of the Albemarle County Code,this decision may be appealed to the
Board of Supervisors by filing a written request with the Director of Planning and Community
Development within ten calendar days of the decision.
Attached are specific comments and recommendations of each of the Departments,which have been
unable to approve this plat. All comments of these Departments should be addressed if you choose to
resubmit this plat.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience if you have any questions or require additional
information.
Sincerely,
Elaine K. Echols,AICP
