In accordance with Albemarle County Code 4 14-222(E), within fifteen (15) days after the date the notice of
disapproval required by subsection (D) is mailed or delivered by the aaent, the subdivider may resubmit the
preliminary plat to address Plannin¢ comments #1 and #2 below.
1. [ZMA201500007] The proposed retaining wall in Blocks 16 and 17 cannot be approved as shown for the
following reasons:
a. The retaining wall proposed at the rear of the residential lots in Blocks 16 and 17 exceeds the maximum
6' height permitted for a single retaining wall, in accordance with Section 2.7 (1) of the Code of
Development. Retaining walls over 6 feet in height, as measured from the top of the wall to finished
grade at the bottom of the wall, shall be allowed at the discretion of the Director of Community
Development. The overall retained height may exceed six feet with multiple stepped retaining walls.
There does not appear to be enough space to incorporate multiple stepped retaining walls in some areas
without causing significant redesign of the lot and street layouts. Please revise the preliminary plat to
only show retaining walls at a maximum of 6' in height each. In areas where the overall retained height
exceeds 6', please provide multiple stepped retaining walls.
b. The retaining wall along the rear of the lots in Blocks 16 and 17 exceeds the maximum 600' length
permitted, as specified in Section 2.7 (2) of the Code of Development. Retaining walls exceeding 600'
in length shall be allowed at the discretion of the Director of Community Development. Please provide
justification for allowing the retaining wall to be built to the proposed length shown on the preliminary
plat.
2. [ZMA201500007 and SP2015000251 The preliminary plat proposes to disturb areas of preserved steep slopes
in order to construct roads and new residential lots in Blocks 16 and 17. Per Section 2.4 of the Code of
Development and the approved Brookhill Application Plan, these preserved steep slopes were to be incorporated
into the Greenspace areas and not disturbed. All of the Greenspace areas shall be located outside of private lots
and right-of-way.
a. [Section 18-30.7.4 (b)(h)] Please provide a signed and sealed topographic survey from a licensed
surveyor demonstrating that these slopes are less than 25%. The new topographic information must be
reviewed and approved by the County Engineer in order to allow the proposed layout of roads and
residential lots.
The following comments must be addressed prior to final plat approval:
3. [ZMA201500007] Blocks 16 and 17 are classified as Neighborhood Density Residential land use blocks, per

acreages of civic/parks, greenways, open space, buffers, and total greenspace as shown in Table 2 on page 6 of
the Code of Development.
a. It should then provide acreages of each feature proposed in Blocks 16 and 17. Currently, Block 17 is not

Albemarle County Engineering Services (Engineer) — Emily Cox, ecoxkalbemarle.org — Requested Changes, see
attached.
Albemarle County Information Services (E911) — Elise Kiewra, ekiewra@albemarle.org — Requested Changes:
1. Please note which roadways are roads vs alleys. It would also be helpful to know which way the houses are
facing so that we can determine what address we need to give them. Depending on what is road vs alley the site
plan will need to have road names on it for the next review.
Albemarle County Building Inspections — Michael Dellinger, mdellingergalbemarle.org — See Recommendation:
1. Separate permits needed for all retaining walls over 3' in height, engineered design for walls over 4' in height.
Either use county inspectors for wall inspections or use approved third party inspector.
Albemarle County Department of Fire Rescue —Shawn Maddox, smaddoxgalbemarle.org —Requested Changes:
1. The cul-de-sac with only one entrance must be a minimum of 96 feet in diameter because the travel way exceeds
150 feet.
2. Hydrant spacing throughout the site must be 500'. There are no hydrants shown on the smaller streets that service
the driveways and the distance is exceeded on the streets where hydrants are shown.
3. Minimum unobstructed travel widths shall be 20 feet.
4. On street parking - once street widths are finalized streets will need to be marked no parking based on their
widths. Please contact our office to discuss on street parking at your convienence.
5. The round a bout shown at the entrance has pavement less than 20 feet in width. Will the alternative surface
shown in the remainder of the round a bout be rated to support a minimum of 76,000 pounds?
6. A fire flow test will be required before final acceptance.

Preliminary
Cameron,
I have reviewed the above referenced application. I hereby recommend approval with the following conditions:
• A water and sewer construction plan review submittal is required for this project. Submit 3 copies of the utility
plan, along with water and sewer data sheets, to the ACSA, Attn: Alexander J. Morrison, PE, to start the review.
• The Master Utility plan will need to be approved prior to any water and sewer construction plan review
approvals. The Master Utility plan has been reviewed by the ACSA and RWSA and minor comments have been
returned to the applicant. I anticipate that the resubmittal will be approved.
• RWSA Wastewater Capacity Certification will be required for this development. The ACSA will request the
certification from RWSA during the water and sewer construction plan review.
• Note that the Polo Ground Road improvements plan is currently under review by the ACSA for water and sewer
utilities.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Review #1
Dear Mr. Langille:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Bottler Engineering, dated 3
November 2017, and offers the following comments:
1. Proposed streets require names, stationing, design speed, ADT, and must be noted if they
are intended to be public or private. Specific comments cannot be provided without some
frame of reference.
2. All "connector" roads shown on the rezoning plan should be designed as Collector roads,
dependent upon design ADT. The main road going through the proposed site which
intersects Polo Grounds Road (assuming it is intended to be a publicly maintained street)
must be designed in accordance with GS-7, Appendix A. Note that the minimum design
speed is 30 mph for collector roads.
3. There should not be a stopping condition along the connector road at intersections with
local streets.
4. Brick pavers cannot be used on publicly maintained streets.
5. It is recommended that the roundabout be more centrally located within the site so it may
more efficiently serve as a traffic calming device.
6. Please see NCHRP Report 672 for roundabout design guidelines.
7. The roundabout is too large for a single lane. Circulation lanes for a single lane
roundabout are generally between 16' and 20'. While the proposed paved portion of the
circulation lane is 14', an additional 11.5' is being proposed as brick pavers.
8. Provide the fastest path diagram and the AutoTurn vehicle tracking diagrams.
9. Roundabout entry and exit radii must be labeled and must be between 60' and 90'.
10. The geometry of the western approach (alley) to the roundabout may needs to be altered
to more efficiently slow entering traffic.
11. Bicyclists should be given the option of using the sidewalk via sidewalk ramps. Bicycle
lanes must be terminated at least 100' before the circulation lane and curb lines pulled in
to reduce the entry/exit widths.
12. A truck apron is required around the center island.

13. There does not appear to be enough deflection at the approaches to reduce the vehicle
speed entering the roundabout. The engineer may need to utilize reverse curves.
14. The alleys intersecting the roundabout require directional medians.
15. Provide typical roadway sections.
16. Provide North arrow on the overall site layout sheet.
17. Note that the subdivision/road plan must show conformance with the VDOT Road
Design Manual Appendices B(l) and F, as well as any other applicable standards,
regulations or other requirements.
Please provide two copies of the revised plan along with a comment response letter. If further
information is desired, please contact Justin Deel 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.
