Dear Mr. Myers:
The Agent for the Board of Supervisors hereby grants administrative approval to the above referenced site
plan.
This approval shall be valid for a period of five (5) years from the date of this letter, provided that the
developer submits a final site plan for all or a portion of the site within one (1) year after the date of this
letter as provided in section 32.4.3.1 of Chapter 18 of the Code of the County of Albemarle, and thereafter
diligently pursues approval of the final site plan.
An Erosion and Sediment Control Permit may be issued after the following approvals are received:
1. Approval an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan meeting the requirements of Chapter 17 of the
Code of the County of Albemarle.
2. Approval of a Stormwater Management Plan meeting the requirements of Chapter 17 of the
Code.
3. Approval of all easements for facilities for stormwater management and drainage control.
4. Approval of a mitigation plan for the disturbance of Water Protection Ordinance buffers.
5. Submittal of a tree conservation checklist.
The final site plan will not be considered to have been officially submitted until the following items are
received:
1. A final site plan that satisfies all of the requirements of section 32.6 of Chapter 18 of the Code.
2. A fee of $1,500.
3. Submittal of plans directly to each of the agencies /departments listed below necessary to satisfy
the conditions of approval.
The final site plan will not be approved until the following conditions are met:
The Department of Community Development shall not accept submittal of the final site plan for signature
until tentative approvals for the following conditions have been obtained:
1
11M "NNW
Planning Division Approval of: (2 Copies are required to be submitted for review)
1. A site plan meeting all the requirements of section 32.6 of Chapter 18 of the Code.
2. [32.5.2(a)] Provide boundary dimensions. Clarify existing and proposed boundary lines with
areas of proposed dedication clearly delineated. Also, revise the reference to Town Center Drive
in the "subdivision summary"; Town Center Drive is not an abutting roadway.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Reference the Zoning Map Amendment(s) approved for this property with the
associated application plan and code of development, as well as any proffers and applicable
approved waivers.
4. [32.5.2(a)] Correct the magisterial district to say Rio.
5. 132.5.2(a)] Provide the minimum setback and yard information.
6. [32.5.2(a)] Add the names of the owners, zoning district, tax map and parcel number, and present
use of abutting parcels.
7. [32.5.2(b) & 4.16] Developed recreational area(s) shall be provided for every development of
thirty (30) units or more equal to or exceeding four (4) dwelling units per acre. A minimum of
two hundred (200) square feet per unit of recreational area shall be provided in common area or
open space on the site. Provide the location and square footage of this required recreation area; it
cannot include paved access areas or parking.
8. [4.16.2] In the recreation area requested above, one (1) tot lot shall be provided for the first thirty
(30) units and shall contain equipment which provides an amenity equivalent to: one (1) swing
(four (4) seats), one (1) slide, two (2) climbers, one (1) buckabout or whirl, and two (2) benches.
Please show this tot lot and the required amenities on the plan.
9. [32.5.2(b)] Provide the percentage and acreage of open space; this area should not include paved
access areas or parking.
10. [32.5.2(b)] Note the maximum height of all structures.
11. [32.5.2(b) & Code of Development] The parking proposed within the plaza area does not meet
the intent of the application plan and code of development; please remove. Provide information
on how the parking requirement will be met without these spaces; on- street parking abutting the
parcel can be used to satisfy this requirement, if present (Code of Development required, but it
unclear if it has been provided — see below). Additionally, if the parking spaces remain as
proposed, a special use permit will be required for stand -alone parking if the parcel is subdivided
as tentatively shown on the plan.
12. [32.5.2(b)] Provide the maximum amount of paved parking and vehicular circulation area if any
parking area of five spaces or more is proposed.
13. [32.5.2(i) & Code of Development] Provide information regarding the abutting streets to show
they meet the sections and streetscape requirements provided in the Code of Development (Page
15 and Table C). It appears that there are several inconsistencies with the approved sections
including right -of -way width, curb -to -curb width, bike lanes, on- street parking, and sidewalk
widths. Streetscape requirements in the Code of Development must be met as well as any
additional ARB requirements.
14. [32.5.2(i)] The design of lots 16 -21 creates awkward and potentially dangerous vehicular access
to these lots; if subdivided, several access easements and shared maintenance agreements will be
required. Demonstrate how access to these lots will work. Please also show how vehicles will
navigate behind the required 18' parking spaces on each lot.
15. 14.12.16(b)] All parking spaces shall be designed so that no part of any vehicle will extend over
any lot line, right -of -way line, sidewalk, walkway, and driveway or aisle space. It appears that
the parking spaces for lots 16 -21 extend into driveway /aisle space, and one space for lot 19
extends over a walkway area and possibly over the lot line; as requested above, please revise or
demonstrate how the parking and access areas will meet this requirement.
2
16. [32.5.2(i)] Provide the state route numbers for all existing streets.
17. [32.5.2(k)] Verify that all necessary easements for proposed water, sewer and drainage facilities
have been shown on the plan.
18. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the location of any other existing or proposed utilities and utility easements
including telephone, cable, electric and gas.
19. [32.5.2(m)] Show the distance to the centerline of the nearest existing street intersection from the
proposed ingress and egress locations.
20. [32.5.2(n)] Dimension all proposed buildings.
21. [32.5.2(n)] Please dimension all existing and proposed walkways. Additionally, clarify the lack
of sidewalk connection at the intersection of Meeting Street and Laurel Park Lane.
22. [32.5.2(n)] Clarify if any outdoor lighting is proposed; if it is, note the location(s) and provide a
lighting plan.
23. [32.5.2(n)] Provide the dimensions of any landscaped areas and open space (as noted above,
open space shall not include paved access areas or parking).
24. [32.5.2(n)] Provide the dimensions of the recreation area requested above.
25. [32.5.2(n)] Dimension all proposed parking areas.
26. [32.5.2(o)] Clearly show any areas intended to be dedicated or reserved for dedication to public
use (such as street right -of -way), and provide a note stating that the land is to be dedicated or
reserved for public use.
27. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.6] If any parking area having 5 spaces or more is proposed, all requirements
under this section (Landscaping within a parking area) must be satisfied.
28. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.8] The minimum tree canopy requirement is 15 %. It appears this
requirement has been met, but some of the numbers and calculations provided are incorrect.
Quercus palustris planted at 2.5" caliper provides 419 sf of canopy, and Corms kousa provides
128 sf; please revise the table and associated calculation. Also, please revise the required canopy
calculation to reference the correct parcel acreage of 1.793. This portion of TMP32 -41 L must be
subdivided off of the parcel for the density (upon which the canopy requirement is predicated)
and the coverage numbers to be accurate. This subdivision should be submitted and approved
prior to final site plan approval.
29. [32.5.2(p)] Several of the proposed plantings appear to be within existing or proposed easements;
please either move all landscaping outside of easements or provide proof of authorization from
the easement holder.
30. [Code of Development] The plaza area provided may not meet the intent of the code of
development and application plan; the central plaza was intended to be a community feature and
not just an amenity for this block. As requested above, the parking should be removed.
Additionally, the plaza should also contain benches, gardens and a fountain or covered gazebo
like structure as listed in the block description. Provide the actual square footage of the plaza not
including the paved areas to clarify if adequate area has been proposed.
31. [Code of Development] ARB approval required.
Engineering Division Approval of: (1 Copy is required to be submitted for review)
1. An Erosion and Sediment Control Plan meeting the requirements of Chapter 17 of the Code of the
County of Albemarle.
