Dear Mr. Brockman,
We have reviewed the above referenced plans and have the following comments:
Engineering (Emily Cox)
1. WPO202200034 must be approved before the road plan can be approved.
2. Provide date the topographic information was obtained.
3. Please note if pavement design on sheet Cl. I is for all proposed streets in this plan.
4. Ensure all horizontal curve date is shown on plan view (state and end points).
5. Please show all applicable signs such as no parking and speed limit.
6. Street trees should be at least 5' from storm drains.
7. Sight distance easements are necessary for sight lines outside of the right-of-way.
8. Please show calculations to show the proposed easement widths match the necessary stone
easement widths per the Albemarle County Design Standards Manual.
9. Please label and reference the detail for the driveway entrances on the layout sheet. Ensure it is
listed on the details legend sheet.
Planning (Andy Reitelbach)
1. See attached letter dated 9/27/22.
VDOT (Doug McAvoy)
1. See attached letter dated 9/27/22.
Fire Rescue (Howard Logamarsino)
1. The required hydrant spacing based on the anticipated needed fire flow is 500 feet and arranged
so that no building is more than 250 feet from a hydrant. The proposed location of the hydrants
does not provide this, so must be corrected to do so.
2. The hydrant at the dead end on Road B does not provide adequate or efficient firefighting
operations and makes it necessary for Road B to be a fire lane. This triggers the requirements fire
apparatus access roads/fire lanes requiring minimum, unobstructed travel way widths, which due
to hydrant, is wider than the proposed 20 ft and the need for an approved turn around at the dead

end since the dead end is longer than 150 feet. A potential solution is moving the hydrant at the
dead end of Road B at or in proximity of the corner of Road A and Road B, which also solves the
spacing issue in comment # 1.
3. The unobstructed travelway width for fire apparatus access roads/fire lanes is 20 ft. if the
buildings are 30 feet tall or less, 26 feet if the buildings are taller than 30 feet and 26 feet at
hydrants. The proposed travelway of Road is 28 feet, with parking on one side of the road
indicated. This requires the opposite of the road to be designated as No Parking -Fire Lane and
marked appropriately. Please indicate signs and/or markings on the plan.
ACSA (Rickard Nelson)
1. Submit 3 copies of utility drawings to ACSA.
2. Include updated ACSA construction details.
3. Show lot numbers on utility plan.
4. Laterals to enter with flow of invert.
5. Revise water crossings to be on top of storm crossings.
6. Locate water main outside of parking spaces.
7. Sewer segment 2_1 to enter at 90-degrees or greater.
8. RWSA sewer capacity agreement will be required.
9. Show meters 2-feet min separation from driveways typ.
10. The water main along Orien should be called out as a 12-inch.
11. Have Road B water main run straight to Golf Drive connection.
12. Existing stubout in front of lot 29 to be abandoned or serve a fire hydrant.
13. Eliminate water main along Road C and have lots 28-39 served from Golf Drive.
GIS (Andy Slack)
1. See attached letter dated 8/5/22.
ARB (Margaret Maliszewski)
1. This block of development is not expected to be visible from the EC, so ARB review/approval are
not required.
Engineering plan review staff are available from 2-4 PM on Thursdays, should you require a meeting to
discuss this review.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me either by email (ecox2@albemarle.org) or by

Review # 1
Dear Ms. Cox:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as prepared by Timmons Group, dated 1 August
2022, and offers the following comments:
1. The width of Orion Ln on Sheet C4.0 should be shown curb -face to curb -face, rather than
as the width of the pavement.
2. Label the intersections of Road A and Road C on the vertical profile for Orion Ln.
3. In the sight distance profile for "Road D onto Ashlar Ave," the proposed grade does not
tie into the existing grade. Resolve this.
4. Throughout the Plans, Orion Ln is alternatively referred to as "Road D." Ensure this road
is consistently referred to in all locations of the Plans.
5. Please remove trees within 30' of intersections as shown in Section 5D of Appendix B(1)
of the Road Design Manual.
6. Add a note: "Landscaping plants and trees within the right-of-way 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."
7. Is the US Postal Service requiring the use of cluster mailboxes? If so, where will they be
located?
8. The angles of intersection of Orion Ln does not appear to conform to Section 2,
Appendix F of the Road Design Manual. Show the centerlines of Ashlar Ave, Addle Hill
Rd, and Golf Dr, and ensure the angles of intersection with the proposed roads conform
to this requirement.
9. Extend the Proposed Public R/W line across the private streets at the three locations
where proposed private streets intersect with proposed or existing public streets.

10. A sight line easement may need to be provided to accommodate the sight -distance -left
line at Orion Ln and Golf Dr. Show the right-of-way line along Golf Dr on Sheet C6.6 to
be able to accurately assess this need.
11. According to the drainage plan on Sheet C5.0 storm water looks like the water was
intended to flow around the corners into the existing DI's, but actually appears to flow
south on Orion Ln into the intersection with Golf Dr.
a. Prove the storm water will flow into these DI's without encroaching into Golf Dr.
b. Provide drainage calculations for these two existing DI's, including all storm
water they already handle from the existing development.
c. Evaluate the need for DI's on either side of Orion Ln immediately before the curb
return.
12. The sidewalk on the north-west comer of the Orion Ln intersection with Golf Dr appears
to be excessively steep as it rounds the comer. Ensure this sidewalk and the
accompanying CG-12 conform with ADA requirements and Appendices A(1) and B(I)
of the Road Design Manual.
13. Provide drainage calculations for the SWM infrastructure downstream of DI 100 on
Ashlar Ave which includes storm water from existing and this development, and ensure
the stormwater does not exceed the capacity of this infrastructure.
14. The Comcast handhole currently located behind the curb at the proposed intersection
location for Orion Ln and Golf Dr cannot be in the road or sidewalk after construction.
Show the proposed location on the Plans.
15. 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.
Please provide a digital copy in PDF format of the revised plan along with a comment response
letter. If further information is desired, please contact John Wilson. at (434) 422-9782.
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.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Emily Cox
Department of Community Development
Engineering Division
ecox2(a)al bemarle.org
FROM: Andy Reitelbach, Senior Planner II
DATE: September 27, 2022
RE: SUB2022-00133 Old Trail Village Block 26 Road Plans
phone:434-296-5832
www.albemarle.org
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department of 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.)
1. Provide on the cover sheet the application number assigned to this plan: SUB2022-00133.
2. Include on the cover sheet all parcels that are included in this plan. With 9.69 acres of disturbance, there are more
parcels included than just the one listed (55E-01-26-0). At a minimum, it appears that TMP 55E-01-6B-0 is also part
of this proposal.
3. Revise the Overlay Districts note on the cover sheet. The parcels included in this plan are located within both the
Entrance Corridor Overlay District and the Managed Steep Slopes overlay district.
4. Sidewalks must be provided on both sides of Road A. No special exception has been approved allowing sidewalks to
be provided on only one side of the road.
5. Planting strips must be provided on both sides of Road A. No special exception has been approved waiving the
planting strip requirements along this road.
6. The sidewalk along Golf Drive needs to be eight feet in width (see page 8 of the COD).
7. Each of Road Band Road C needs to be labelled as a "Private Alley."
8. Road A needs to be labelled as a "Private Street," as it is providing frontage to Lots 1-26.
9. Orion Lane needs to be labelled as a "public street."
10. The sidewalk along Road A, in front of Lots 13-26, must be located within the right-of-way, not within the individual
lots. All sidewalks and planting strips must be located within the rights -of -way.
11. Provide dimensions for the on -street parking spaces along Road A.
12. Revise the landscaping plan:
a. Street trees are calculated inclusively, so there needs to be +1 tree added to each side of each street
requiring trees. The first tree is planted at 0 feet, and then every 50 feet from that.
b. The street tree calculations also need to include Golf Drive, Addle Hill Road, Ashlar Avenue, and Road A.
c. Existing trees in existing planting strips may be able to count for required street trees, depending on their
species and size; however, those trees need to be identified and included in the calculations.
d. The street trees need to be more evenly distributed along each side of the streets, as well as more evenly
spaced along the length of each street. (For example, street trees need to be provided along the Golf Drive
side of Lot 44, the Addle Hill Road side of Lot 1, all along both sides of Road A, and on the Orion Lane
sides of Lots 12, 26, and 39.)
e. Street trees need to be located within planting strips, not within private lots. The trees in front of lots 40-
44 are not in the planting strip.
13. Advisory Comment: Although density calculations will be reviewed with the site plan (not the road plans), the
density calculations shown on the cover sheet of this road plan do not appear to be correct. This development
includes more than 5.21 acres, since a portion of the adjacent parcel is included. Revise the density calculations
to accurately reflect all property included in this plan.
