Ilka,
SDP201900067 EcoVillage - Final Site Plan
Here is a LINK to the County's website which holds the final site plan. It has not been approved
yet but still is an active project. Below is a highlighted picture of the document you need to
click on once you get into this link to access the file. Its too big to attached to this email, thus
the need for the link. If you have trouble accessing it, let me know, I can scan off a single page
and send it to you showing the general layout. Attached is the last County review letter of the
proposal and Engineering's review as well, these documents list all detailed items that are left to
address prior to approval.

John,
Sounds good.Please revise accordingly and provide me your review comments when they are complete.
When you reviewed this plan the 1"time w/Tim did you review against SP conditions(SP2018-16)?If not,will you
please review it this time against these conditions as many(conditions 1,3,and 4)relate specifically to Engineering
requirements.

Christopher,thank you—you've given quite good advice. I appreciate it.
I'll use typical format(addressed/not addressed). Sorry for any confusion. Email below deals with a single FSP comment—it
is long and sprawling. There are a lot of statements and thoughts without much clear guidance. Points well-taken. Don't
worry,will stick with typical Memo format. Also,a good suggestion to speak with Frank. I will,once I've reviewed the road
plan. I think(in partial response to questions)that I'm uncertain where we go from here. Roads B,C,D,likely cannot be
configured to meet private street standards,and if not,how will design accommodate 39 units approved under the ISP? No,it
may not fall to Engineering to resolve challenges,but CDD is committed to try to help—at least,that's my sense.
Multiple Is this a statement or are you telling them to do something?and Why is this being stated?help me focus. Yes,comments
below may be confusing,perhaps even a disservice. FSP Engineering review comments may distill to `Approved road plan is
required.' I think I was trying to accomplish too much at once;fewer comments will suffice. I will review/comment on the
road plan,and send to you(prior to sending to Applicant). I am not so inclined to offer to meet with the Applicant—not yet;it
may be best to simply send the Engineering road plan review comments,and allow the Applicant a chance to respond. You
may have sent road plan review comments to Applicant. If so,thanks. Sorry to be slow with both plan reviews.
Private street standards,if private street authorization is approved,apply to this development.Agreed,what are the private street
standards for this development.Does the proposal meet these standards?If not,what do they need to do to meet these standards?is
helpful;thank you!
Engineering will work with Planning to resolve challenge posed by design,relative to private street standards.Why is Planning and
Engineering resolving challenges posed by the design?This is the responsibility of the applicant.Does it meet the required design
standard?If not,what do they need to do to meet the required design standards.Is quite helpful
Thanks again,Christopher

John,
I offer my feedback below in red.
1)Your 1st review of the site plan back in 12-6-19 yielded 48 comments in standard format. The latest review doesn't
track well with the previous comments.Your normal format provides the old comments and then below it states whether
or not the comment was addressed?Why did you discontinue this format?Are all other previous comments addressed?
2)The single comment provided below is very long and sprawling and is hard to make since of what is required to meet
the ordinance. It seems like there are a lot of statements and thoughts listed in the comment but not much clear guidance
on what to do to meet the ordinance. See below my remarks on the comment specifically.
3)I'd advise you to hold your site plan comments till the road plan review is completed,as it may yield additional
comments relevant on the site plan. When do you anticipate completing the road plan comments?
4)Did you discuss these review comments and new format with Frank?I think the applicant will have a hard time with
these comments and will want to meet,as it's hard to understand the guidance being provided. Let me know how you
wish to proceed.

Christopher,please read this one,instead. I made some changes,but not many—does this appear off-base,or relatively
accurate? Thanks
Will send SDP201900067 comments to you tomorrow,without fail,but not road plan comments—let's start with this.
Please share your thoughts,thanks,best,J.Anderson 434.296-5832-x3069
Photo: Riverside—Riverwalk Crossing is the 'street' while alleys provide vehicular access to each lot. EcoVillage
takes it to a different level:only a grass-pave 'street' and no vehicular access to the majority of lots. What is the
point of stating this? I don't think we should be providing apples to oranges comparisons in our comment letter,
it makes it seem like we support it.

1. Provide CG-6(curb with gutter)to match VDOT Road Design Manual typ.CG section in urban setting,not CG-2. Provide
CG-6 for Road A between Rio Rd.E entrance and the 4 perpendicular parking spaces just north of the 2 HC-parking spaces
on west side of Road A,thru R5' radius return. CG-2 does not meet VDOT standard for urban design;please revise to
VDOT standard. Also, 18-4.12.15.g.(Rev. 1)Partially addressed.Applicant response: `CG-6 provided at critical points
along Road A in accordance to what we identified as the spirit of your request,specifically along the lower parking area,
along the point where most of Road A runoff is located,and before/at the intersection with Rio Rd E.' As follow-up:While
review may at times misapply standards or appear off-base,we do not believe that is the case in this instance. Relative to
roads A,B,C,D,for your consideration:
a. Engineering will work with Planning to resolve challenge posed by design,relative to private street standards.Why
is Planning and Engineering resolving challenges posed by the design?This is the responsibility of the applicant.
Does it meet the required design standard?If not,what do they need to do to meet the required design standards.
b. Engineering will respond to private street authonzation request,if submitted or once submitted.It's already been
submitted and was distributed with the fmal site plan in blue beam.
c. Engineering will respond to waiver from curb/gutter standards,if submitted or once submitted. It's already been
submitted and was distributed with the final site plan in blue beam.
d. Private street standards,if private street authorization is approved,apply to this development.Agreed,what are the
private street standards for this development.Does the proposal meet these standards?If not,what do they need to
do to meet these standards?
e. EcoVillage is a 39-unit subdivision(29 attached/10 detached).Why is this being stated?
f. A road plan is required,since development is a subdivision.
g. Road A: I don't understand what is going on with this section of the comment?Is each bullet merely talking points
about Road A,or are you telling them to do something?
i. Crowned sections of pnvate Road A that concentrate runoff against curb require CG-6.
ii. Nine(9)of 39 total units appear to have frontage on Road A.Why is this being stated?
iii. After 9th unit,first placement of perpendicular parking on Road A,Sta. 16+50'±.Is this a statement or are
you tellmg them to do something?
iv. Road A terminates at Sta. 17+40(±)-20'prior to PC 17+65,a 120'radius(paved)curve with perpendicular
parking on both sides,but primarily one side.Is this a statement or are you telling them to do somethmg?
5
v. Curved paved tl_.__way is a transitional road/parking area.Is thi..__atement or are you telling them to do
something?
vi. This transitional road/parking serves multiple residents,and patrons of common house 1,and common
house 2.Why is this being stated?
vii. Note:It is unclear how this design meets VDOT standards. Understood,shouldn't we tell them what they
need to do to meet VDOT standards.
viii. At Sta. 19+67(±),paved portion of transitional road/parking area ends.Why is this being stated?
ix. Transitional road/parking area ends just after a last radial perpendicular parking space,prior to transition to
Road D sidewalk/grass pave/emergency access facility. ?
x. Perpendicular parking may work for a site plan access/travelway that enters a defmed parking area with
perpendicular parking,but has been approved sparingly and for few subdivisions(Timberwood Square
/Emerson Commons).Is this a statement or are you telling them to do somethmg?
h. Roads B,C,D: I don't understand what is going on with this section of the comment?Is each bullet merely talking
points about Road A,or are you telling them to do something?
i. Are non-street designs that serve pedestrians,but not vehicles.Is this a statement or are you telling them to
do something?
ii. May support emergency response vehicles,if properly designed.Is this a statement or are you telling them
to do something?
iii. Will be evaluated in more detail with road plan,SUB202000059.I think you should hold your site plan
comments till you have reviewed the road plan.
iv. Lack typical street features defmed by VDOT standards,including:
1. Curb
2. Gutter
3. Storm inlets
4. durable riding surface
v. Are instead 5'wide sidewalks set in grass-pave structure that require landscape maintenance.Is this a
statement or are you telling them to do something?
vi. A similar facility,visible in photo below,appears to be a parklike corridor between rows of homes
(Riverside/Rt.20). Note,however,that these rows of residences have streets on the other side.Why is this
being stated?
vii. Proposed design:
1. There is one known instance of approving grass-pave as a private street(Riverside Village
development;photos above).
Riverside Village Riverwalk Xing has bollards(is not a street),yet provides alley access to each
lot with drive/parking on each lot.
EcoVillage takes a lenient review/approval approach to Riverside Village to an extreme:with no
lot access to the majority of lots.
EcoVillage eliminates pervious ride surface visible in satellite image of Riverside Village,and
replaces it with a 5' winding walk.Why is this being stated?
2. Engineering will work with Planning on response to design presented,but cannot look past
applicable design standards.Uncertain what this accomplishes.
3. Engineering is open to whatever legislative or waiver or exception may allow this design to
proceed.Why would Engineering take this stance?It makes it seem like Engineering supports this
design and will do whatever is necessary for it to be approved.
4. Engineering recognizes benefits likely to accrue from design that favors walking,and recognizes
benefits of density,and lower impervious area.Why is this being stated?
5. Engineering accepts that proper grass-pave structure can support fire-rescue apparatus,and defers
to ACF&R.
6. Engineering cannot recommend to Planning that Roads B,C,D,as designed,qualify as private
streets under county code.
7. Engineering can disqualify facilities labeled Roads B,C,or D as private streets since grass pave is
disqualifying(does not appear in VDOT standards).
8. Engineering is constrained by ordinance definitions,requirements,and standards.
9. If Roads B,C,D,are required to be streets for a-911 addressing,they should be designed as
streets.
10. If required to be streets for frontage or lot access(14-403, 14-404),they should meet private street
standards(see ACDSM, 14-410, 14-412.B).
11. Unless a non-VDOT facility concept of`road' is authorized by legislative action(Approved
zoning,code of development,special permit,etc.),then Engineering is unclear how this design
advances.
12. If Roads B,C,D are required to serve as streets,reference VDOT standards.
6
13. SI__ ___mdards at 14-410 and 14-412.B.,which appll ___ll streets,and to streets serving attached
units.
14. 14-412.B states: 'Each private street authorized to serve non-residential,non-agricultural,attached
residential,multi-unit residential and combined residential and non-residential uses under sections
14-232 or 14-233 shall satisfy Virginia Department of Transportation standards or an alternative
standard deemed adequate by the agent,upon the recommendation of the county engineer,to be
equivalent to or greater than the applicable standard in the design standards manual,so as to
adequately protect the public health,safety or welfare.'
15. A pedestrian sidewalk within a lane travel is not equivalent to VDOT standards.
16. Taking a step back:
a. It appears that absent legislative approval of facilities labeled Roads B,C,D,if such are
required to be public roads(or private streets or even site access),comprehensive site
plan revision is required.
b. Engineering cannot identify means whereby these pedestrian grass-pave facilities qualify
as streets(private or public).
c. Of 39 attached or unattached units proposed for this proposed subdivided development,
only 8 have driveway parking.
d. Residents of 31 units(detached/detached)of a subdivided development(including 10
detached)are required to park some distance from their residence.Why is this being
stated?
e. This fmal site plan,unless revised to provide facilities meeting VDOT standards,does
not appear to provide or to meet 14-403(frontage)or 14-404.A.requirements.
f. Initial Site Plan approval(d. 10/11/18)did not approve street design.
g. Engineering review comments on EcoVillage Charlottesville project—(SDP201800056,
18-Sep 2018):
i. Comment 1 states a WPO Plan must be submitted and approved before fmal site
plan can be approved
ii. Comment 2 states a Road Plan must be approved before fmal site plan can be
approved.
iii. Initial site plan Engineering comments like these remind that critical design
tasks cannot proceed apart from ordinance requirements.
iv. Approved ISP for this project did not authorize/suggest that facilities labeled
Roads B,C,D,were exempt from private street(or public road)standards.
h. Engineering appreciates whatever guidance Applicant or others may provide.
17. This street design is an innovative response that provides affordable dense development of a site
constrained by topography and overall area available for development,but development is
constrained by ordinance.Why is this being stated?
18. A tele-meeting can be arranged with Albemarle County Engineer,with whom Applicant has met
to discuss VSMP/WPO design,though not road plan design.Why not meet for road plan design?
19. Last:there is much to admire about design concepts that limit development impact,treat storm
runoff on-site,and provide affordable units,but if concept does not work with ordinance,even
after waiver or exceptions or special use permit are issued,then it does not work.

Trail Discussion)
Attachments: Places29_Parks and Green Systems_Southjpg
Yes —well said, and I strongly agree, Kevin (especially these particular points you made).
Regarding maintenance agreements:
• My initial reaction is that the County could (?) require a maintenance agreement with Ecovillage, because it
can (very) reasonably be interpreted that a 10' path located in the interior of the site is an acceptable way
to satisfy the requirements for "Sidewalks and pedestrian ways within a development" per Z.O. Section
32.7.2.3.
• Additionally, I also think it's worth carefully considering if a maintenance agreement could be required for
this proposed connection, per Z.O. Section 32.7.1.3, if Planning and Zoning determine that a 10' path
located in the interior of the site is functionally equivalent to, and satisfies the intent of, the proposed multi-
use path shown (conceptually) along the Rio Road ROW on the Places 29 Parks and Green Systems
Plan.
And regarding Kevin's comments about the importance of this connection: just a reminder that there is a transit
stop on Rio Road E, just north of the Ecovillage site —which further underscores the value/importance of enabling
safe/ convenient bike and ped access along that corridor.
Thanks for your hard work on this. Enjoy the weekend, and stay safe dudes - - -

Subject: RE: SDP2019-67 Eco Village of Charlottesville—Final Site Plan (10' Multiuse Pedestrian Trail Discussion)
Thanks Chris,
I reviewed this and my only comment is in relation to your point below that this trail needs to be accessible at both ends
to Rio Rd. If we are letting them replace sidewalks along Rio with this path then it needs to be intuitive to pedestrians
and bicyclists that this is the route to make that connection by.Therefore it needs to be visible and accessible from Rio
at both ends. It should connect from the corner of Alwood and Rio to the corner of Rockbrook and Rio. VDOT will not
maintain this though because it is not adjacent to a public street. If it needs to be dedicated fee simple but County Parks
and Recreation do not want to maintain it can we require them to sign a maintenance agreement with the County
stating they will maintain it even though they do not own the land?
i
Generally though I do see a big benefit ..,,.r this trail to pedestrian and bicycle cons... ...vity.The County does have plans
to complete these pedestrian and bike connections along Rio Rd.The sidewalk already essentially already connects to
Rockbrook, it's just a little awkward because of the way Stonehenge and Rockbrook merge.Te full connection is listed in
the approved 2019 Albemarle County Transportation Priorities list.
Let me know if you want me to discuss further or if you want me to make these comments in either CV or Bluebeam.

Tim and Kevin,
SDP2019-67 Eco Village of Charlottesville—Final Site Plan(10' Multiuse Pedestrian Trail Discussion)
I am reviewing Eco Village of Charlottesville's final site plan on TMP 06100-00-00-21000. As part of the proposal the
applicant is offering to dedicate to the County a 10' multiuse pedestrian trail in an effort to gain a bonus density in the
proposed development. Prior to approval of the site plan the dedication request must be sent to the Board of Supervisors
for their approval and acceptance of the dedication to public use. As part of the review I request that Parks and Recreation
and the County's Transportation Planner weigh in on the appropriateness of the proposed dedication of the trail,and
whether or not the County should accept the dedication. Please be advised that as proposed on the current site plan the
trail is depicted in a 10' wide access easement; however, in order for this trail to qualify for the bonus density it must be
dedicated to public use, fee simple, in the form of a special lot. Thus the applicant must revise the plan to locate it in a fee
simple lot prior to moving forward.
LINK to the plan in CV to view the plan click on the 4t1i link labeled: "SDP201900067 Plan—Other(not approved)
2020-04-02"
I just send you a Blue Beam invite as well to view the plan.
I offer the following questions for your consideration:
1)Is the proposed trail something that Parks and Recreation recommends the County take into the public system to
maintain?
2)If so, what specific purpose does this connection serve?
3)Is the proposed location and alignment of the new 10' multiuse pedestrian trail appropriate?It currently runs through
the site and connects to Alwood Lane and Rockbrook Drive,which are both private streets on either side of the
development; rather than connecting to Rio Road E. (public right of way).Notably,the County is not requiring sidewalks
be provided along the property's frontage of Rio Road because of substantial geographic constraints(preserved slopes).
4)Please elaborate on any safety concerns you may have with the proposal.
5)Does the County have any long-term goals to provide pedestrian connections along Rio Road E?
6)Do either of you have anything further to add?

Hi Megan,
Would you be able to have a look at this BLA since Christopher will be out till the 31st?The property owners were hoping
to have a resolution relatively quickly since it was just one very minor comment.
Also, I do want to let you know that since the first review I did add the new private lateral easement. It goes along the
rear of TMP 61-174 and TMP 61-172A for the benefit of TMP 61-172. The property owners had a discussion with Jeremy
Lynn and this was what they agreed on. Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.

Trail Discussion)

Hey— my schedule got a bit busier for today, so I'm going to just send some initial responses (below). And if it
would still be helpful to discuss this interactively, then please set up a Teams meeting so we can communicate
about these important topics before moving forward.
Here are my initial responses and thoughts below, in blue. Let's all discuss further whenever you're both ready.
Thanks - - -
1)Is the proposed trail something that Parks and Recreation recommends the County take into the public system to
maintain?This is not so much a trail(for recreation) as it is a shared-use path(for transportation/connectivity
purposes). Maintenance was discussed at least one time during the previous reviews (can't remember if it was
during the two pre-app meetings,or during the initial site plan review). Ideally,if the connection is not in the
public ROW,then the maintenance should fall to the Ecovillage HOA with a maintenance agreement being a
required part of the easement plat/special lot plat process.
2)If so,what specific purpose does this connection serve?This proposed connection is in lieu of a sidewalk along Rio
Road(which would otherwise be required,correct?).During the two pre-app meetings,the sidewalk issue was
discussed—and it was agreeable to everyone at that time to thread a sidewalk(or similar bike/ped connection)
through the interior of the site,instead of on the Rio Road ROW.That was because of safety concerns on the steep
hills and blind curves of Rio, and also because of the steep slopes you mentioned.
3) Is the proposed location and alignment of the new 10' multiuse pedestrian trail appropriate? It currently runs through
the site and connects to Alwood Lane and Rockbrook Drive,which are both private streets on either side of the
development; rather than connecting to Rio Road E. (public right of way).Notably,the County is not requiring sidewalks
be provided along the property's frontage of Rio Road because of substantial geographic constraints(preserved slopes).
The County has consistently supported the concept of an interior connection in lieu of an on-street connection for
this project,throughout the numerous pre-app meetings and project reviews.This is related to the engineering and
environmental issues you referenced (steep slopes)but also, importantly,because of perceived bike/ped safety
issues along that particular section of Rio Road E. However,previous discussions with the Ecovillage team and
County staff had the shared use path connecting to Rio Road at the north end and either connecting directly to Rio
Road or to Alwood Lane at the south end(with a public use and access easement over the private street,where
necessary). The northern end of the proposed path was shown as being located over the emergency access
travelway coming in from the north.
4)Please elaborate on any safety concerns you may have with the proposal. If the bike/ped connection remains interior
to the site,there might be safety concerns about bicyclists and pedestrians exiting Ecovillage to the south and not
having any on-road facilities to continue safely towards Melbourne Road, City limits, etc. Additionally, considering
the elevation change of this site (seventy feet maybe?), it may be challenging to design a shared-use path that meets
County standards.
5)Does the County have any long-term goals to provide pedestrian connections along Rio Road E ?This might be a
better question for Kevin to respond to, but Places 29 envisions a "multi-use path"along Rio Road E in this
location(see attached plan and marked-up exhibit). However, during discussions with Ecovillage team and during
1
Interdivisional meetings, it was cons____ed acceptable (and appropriate)to hay_ alternative arrangement for.
the bike/ped connection to go through the site in this location, in order to avoid engineering,environmental,and
perceived bike/ped safety issues along Rio Road E frontage.
6) Do either of you have anything further to add?Any such shared use path interior to this site needs to be easily
recognizable and accessible to bicyclists and pedestrians travelling along the Rio Road public ROW. The
importance of clear,welcoming,well-placed signage was addressed in previous review comments, so that members
of the public would understand that they can and should continue through the site if they want to walk/pedal south
towards the City or north towards Rio/JW Parkway.

Hey Chris,
Thanks for sending this detailed message, and thanks for trying to connect with me on Teams earlier today. Sorry
I wasn't very available.
I haven't looked at these materials or even read your entire message (yet) — but I did want to follow up with an
interim response, just to let you know I can work on this tomorrow or (more likely) Thursday. What's your deadline
for this review?
Also— I think this would benefit from a relatively quick Teams meeting, so we can have some interactive dialogue
on this. It's fairly complicated, and it would be beneficial to talk about this together. (And enjoyable, too!)
Finally, I don't think I received a Bluebeam invite—and regardless, I no longer have Bluebeam. But I'll use the CV
link you provided (thanks).
So just let me know about a Teams meeting later this week. I could meet tomorrow morning (anytime) or late
Thursday morning.

Hey there,
I hope each of you and your families are doing OK and staying healthy/safe.
I saw that Ecovillage Final Site Plan was resubmitted (Below). I was also contacted by Tom Hickman, the
developer, last week.

I don't know who this application will assigned to, but I just wanted to send a quick note saying I can try to help
—specifically, I'd be willing to join a Teams meeting to go over some of the background on this project with
whoever will be involved moving forward. With a long-running and relatively complex site plan, it might be helpful
to do that up front -- to talk through SP conditions, prior review comments, application/waiver/SE requests, etc.,
and other technical things.
Just let me know, and send a message if you (or the lead reviewer) wants to set something up.
Thanks; good luck with everything - - -
