Division: Planning Services
Date: March 19,2021
First Revision: October 29, 2021
Second Revision: September 2, 2022
Subject: SDP202100008 — Proffit Road Townhomes South — Final Site Plan
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department Community
Development will recommend approval of the plan referred to above when the following items have been
satisfactorily addressed. (The following comments are those that have been identified at this time.
Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.) [Each comment
is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.]
Applicable Comments from Initial Site Plan Action Letter (December 19, 2019):
[32.5.2a] The front maximum setback is listed incorrectly on the cover sheet. The maximum front
setback for R15 is 25 feet. Revise. First submittal: Comment addressed.
2. [32.5.2a] List the building separation requirement of 10 feet. First submittal: Comment addressed.
3. [32.5.2b] The Land Use schedule needs a number of revisions:
a. The open space listed on one location states 51,717sf, then is listed as 7,000sf below. Open
space has a definition and it's unclear if there are elements being counted as open space that are
permitted as open space under the definition. First submittal: Comment not fully addressed.
The Cover Sheet states that 51, 717 sq. ft. of open space are provided. However. Sheet C5 does
not identify the square footage/acreage of open space areas. There are 7,400 sq. ft. of recreation
area identified (including the tot lot) along Private Road A. But the open space area adjacent to
Lot 40 does not list an acreage. Please add the acreage of that open space area to the callout. It
does not appear that the open space area adjacent to Lot 40 plus the 7,400 sq. ft. recreation area
will equal 51.717 sq. ft. Please clearly label and identify all land within the project that is open
space on Sheet C5. Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Per Section 18-4.16.1 of the Zoning
Ordinance. 200 sq. ft. of open space must be provided per dwelling unit. For 40 lots, this
equals 8.000 sq.ft. The site plan states that only 7.400 sq. ft. is provided. An additional 600 sq_
ft. is required and must be proposed. Please revise the calculation on Sheet 1, and show new
open space areas as necessary. Per the definition of open space in the Zoning Ordinance, land
within private lots cannot count toward meeting minimum open space requirements. See
comment #5 below for further information. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
b. The percentages and square feet calculations don't seem to be correct. Double check the math.
The amounts provided do not seem to add up. First submittal: Comment not fully addressed.
The Cover Sheet states that 7,000 sq. ft. of recreation area are provided_ but Sheet C5 shows
7,400 sq. ft. including the 2.000 sq. ft. tot lot. Please revise labels and calculations as
necessary. Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Once the revisions mentioned in comment #3a have
been made, update labels and calculations for open space as necessary. Rev. 2: Comment
addressed.
4. [32.5.2b] The number of parking spaces listed does not meet the requirements of the ordinance. 2.25
spaces are required for each unit, which equals 90 total required spaces. Revise to meet the
requirements. First submittal: Comment not fully addressed. The parking schedule on Sheet 1 lists the
parking standard requirements for multifamily units. However, these are attached single-family units.
Please update the require parking calculation so that it states the correct use "attached single family
dwellings.'
Furthermore, the applicant comment response letter states that some units will have garages to meet the
minimum parking requirements. Staff cannot approve the final site plan unless the garage units are
identified. If garages won't be provided, then each driveway must meet the dimensions required for
parking spaces, 9' x 18.' These dimensions need to be shown on the driveways on individual lots to
ensure that 90 total parking spaces are provided.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
5. [32.5.2n] Label the area between the emergency access and the main entrance. Will this be open space?
First submittal: Comment stands. If this area will be counted toward open space, please clearly
delineate the boundaries of the open space area, and show the emergency access easement within it.
State a sq. ft. or acreage figure in the label/callout for this open space area. See comment #3 above for
more information. Rev. 1: There is still a discrepancy with the open space proposed. Exhibit on Sheet
C15 states that Open Space B measures 9,970 sq. ft. and Open Space C measures 4,937 sq. ft. This
differs from the calculation stated on Sheet 1. Additionally, the area labeled as "Open Space A" on the
exhibit on Sheet C 15 does not meet Zoning Ordinance definition of open space. Please revise the
exhibit so that it does not call out Open Space A. Rev. 2: Please revise the open space exhibit on
Sheet C14 so that Open Space A is not labeled, as that area does not meet the definition of open
space under Section 18-4.7 (b) of the Zoning Ordinance.
6. [32.5.2n] Sidewalk connections are needed from the public sidewalks to the front of the units for
pedestrian access. First submittal: Comment addressed.
[32.5.2n] A sidewalk connection is needed to connect the sidewalks from Private Road A to the
sidewalks on Private Road C. There is only a landscape strip and pedestrian access is needed. First
submittal: CG12 is now provided, but please line up the sidewalk and ramp on the south side of Road
C with the sidewalk and ramp on the east side of Road A. Currently, the Road C ramp is in the middle
of the intersection. There appears to be adequate space to move it to the side lot line of Lot 22 so that
the ramps are aligned. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
8. [32.5.2n] Will ramps be provided for the corners of the blocks on the sidewalks for ADA access? Show
ramps. First submittal: Comment not fully addressed. Please show a ramp at the north end of the
sidewalk on the east side of Road A at the intersection with Road B. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
[32.5.2n] Label the materials for the sidewalks and paths. First submittal: Comment addressed.
10. Will lighting be provided? If so, a lighting plan that meets the requirements of the ordinance needs to be
provided with the final site plan. First submittal: Comment addressed.
11. [32.5.2n] If the tot lot will contain the equipment required in the ordinance provide a note on the plan
that states that tot lot equipment will be provided in accordance with 4.16. First submittal: Comment
addressed.
12. Easements will be required for sidewalk and planting strips that are contained in the lots and not within
the right of way. First submittal: See comment 413 below.
New Comments Final Site Plan:
13. [ZMA201800019] Alley A behind lots 32-40 has been removed. However, this alley was shown on the
approved ZMA concept plan and the approved initial site plan. Why was the alley removed? Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
14. [32.7.9.5 (d)] All street trees must be located within the street ROW. Currently, the trees along Road B
for lots 1-15 are within the parcels. Street trees at lots 17, 20, 32, and 40 are also within the lots. Relocate
these trees so they are within the street. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
15. [General Comment] Prior to final site plan approval, an Easement Plat Application must be submitted,
review, approved, and recorded. Please address the following related to easements:
a. [ZM4,201800019] Access easements are required to be platted and recorded prior to approval
of the final site plan. Proffer #3 requires access easements to be made to TMPs 32-29D and
46134-5A. These should be provided at the end of Road C where adjoining both properties. Once
the easement plat is approved and recorded, show the access easements on the site plan with
dimensions, and state the recorded instrument number in the easement labels. Rev. 1: Per
applicant comment response letter, this comment is acknowledged and an easement plat
application will be submitted for review prior to final site plan approval. Site plan will be updated
with recordation information as specified once easement plat is approved and recorded. Rev. 2:

b. [32.6.2 (d)] All new ACSA water and sewer easements must be shown on the easement plat and
recorded. Once the plat is recorded, update all water and sewer easements so that they state the
dimensions and recorded instrument number. Rev. 1: Per applicant comment response letter, this
comment is acknowledged and an easement plat application will be submitted for review prior
to final site plan approval. Site plan will be updated with recordation information as specified
once easement plat is approved and recorded. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
c. [32.6.2 (e)] All stormwater and drainage easement must be shown on the easement plat and
recorded. Once the plat is recorded, update easement labels so they state the dimensions of the
easements, identify whether they are public or private, and state the recorded instrument number.
