RE: MONTGOMERV RIDGE SUBDIVISION— PHASE 4
SECTION 14-422(E) - EXCEPTION REQUEST FOR SIDEWALK
SECTION I4-422(F) - EXCEPTION REQUEST FOR PLANTING STRIP
To Whom it may Concern.
The Owners of TMP 04600-00-00-02400. Eric and Emily Britton, are hoping to create a 13-lot subdivision
ofthis parcel- which will become Phase 4 ofthe Montgomery Ridge Subdivision. Eric and Emily inherited
this parcel from their father, Richard Britton, who passed away last year after owning it since 19-58. Neither
Eric nor Emily live in Virginia so they are notable to live in the house on the property, therefore, they must
sell it.
The subdivision plat for Montgomery Ridge — Phase 2 was recorded in DB 3201-729 oil April 20. 2006.
Approval of this subdivision required a strip of land be reserved for firturc dedication as an inter -parcel
connection to TMP 04600-00-O0-02400. 1 was the engineer of record for Montgomery Ridge Subdivision
— Phase ? It was determined at that time that TMP 04600-00-00-02400 would only allow a maximum of
15 lots and that VDOT Subdivision Guidelines in affect at that time; and currently, alloy for a 40' Right -
of -Way. Consequently, a 40' wide strip of land designated as Area Y (TMP 046DO-00-00-OOOA2) was
included on the Phase 2 Subdivision plat.
Section 14-422 (A) of the current Albemarle County Ordinance requires a 6- wide planting strip and 5'
wide concrete sidewalk on both sides of each new street within a subdivision creating lots for single family
detached and single family attached dwellings in the development areas. Montgomery Ridge — Phase 4
%will have to meet the requirements of this section.
The Preliminary Subdivision Plat that was submitted with this Exception Request shows the proposed 13-
lot single family detached subdivision with Road A as the inter -parcel connection from Montgomer Ridge
Road through TMP 046DO-00-00-OOOA2 to TMP 04600-00-00-02400.
The VDOT regulations require a minimum width of 24-feet from face of curb to face of curb for all the
roads in Phase 4. Sheet Pj shows the Typical Road Sections for Roads A. B. and C. Roads B and C have
the required 6' wide planting strip and S %vide sidewalk on both sides of the street. The right-of-way ha idth
required for these roads is 48'. Since the width of TMP 046DO-00-00-000A2 is 40' it will only allow for a
6' planting strip and ;' concrete sidewalk on one side of Road A. Consequent%•. an exception for sidewalk
and planting strip on one side of Road A is required for approval of Montgomery Ridge Subdivision — Phase

(1) Pedestrian Oriented Neighborhood: Sidewalk connections between smaller blocks of a
neighborhood allow for pedestrian access to friend's homes and parks. Sidewalks along one
side of the street are acceptable where there is no development along one side of the street.
Section 14-422(F) Variation of or exception to planting strip requirements.
1. Information to be submitted
(i) As explained above, the width of TMP 046D0-00-00-000A2 as recorded in DB 3210-729 is 40'
and does not allow for planting strips on both side of Road A. At the time the plat for Phase 2 was
recorded it was not determined that planting strips would have to be provided on both sides of the
road. The first 1000 feet of Montgomery Ridge Road was approved with planting strip on only
one side of the road because there are no houses along that portion of the road.
(ii) Sheet P5 shows the larger street network in the Montgomery Ridge Subdivision.
(iii) Sheets P I and P2 shows the conceptual subdivision and the boundaries of the parcel.
(iv) Sheet P5 shows the topography of the property at 2-foot contour intervals to a distance of 500' from
Road A.
(v) Sheets P3 and P4 show steep slopes. There are no streams, stream buffers,. floodplains, or known
wetlands on this parcel.
(vi) Sheet P4 shows proposed layout of streets, lots, water mains, and sanitary sewer.
2. Consideration
(i) Not applicable.
(ii) Approval of sidewalk exception is part of this request
(iii) Approval ofthis planting strip exception would promote the following goals of the Comprehensive
Plan, Neighborhood Model, and Places 29 Master Plan.
• Comprehensive Plan: Without this exception; TMP 04600-00-00-02400 wilt remain a 14-acre
property that is designated as 'Neighborhood Density on the Comprehensive Plan but will only
only be allowed to have onone single family dwelling.
• (2) Neighborhood Friendlv Streets & Paths: The 6' wide planting strip proposed on one side of
Road A will provide street trees between the road and the sidewalk.
• (3) Interconnected Streets: Without this exception, The Montgomery Ridge road network will
not be allowed to connect to TMP 04600-00-00-02400. 1n Addition, the proposed Phase 4 Road
Network will extend the existing road network to TMP 04600-00-00-02600, which has frontage
on Polo Grounds Road. Future development of 04600-00-00-02600 would further extend the
Montgomery Ridge road network to provide a second entrance onto Polo Grounds Road. The
existing Montgomery Ridge road network has only one entrance to an external public road.
• Places 29 - Future Land Use North Master Plan: Without this exception, TMP 04600-00-00-
02400 will remain a 14-acre property that is designated as `Neighborhood Density' on the
Master Plan but will only be allowed to have only one single family dwelling,
(iv) Approval of this planting strip exception would enable the following goal of the neighborhood
model.
(1) Pedestrian Oriented Neighborhood: Sidewalk connections between smaller blocks of a
neighborhood allow for pedestrian access to friend's homes and parks. Sidewalks along one
side of the street are acceptable where there is no development along one side of the street.

Dear Mr. Perez:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Meridian Planning Group, LLC,
dated 13 August 2019, and offer the following comments.
I. The Road B to Road C 90' bend must be revised to an acceptable curve.
2. Powell Ridge appears to be a private road. Is a connection here allowed/appropriate?
3. The Secondary Street Acceptance Requirements (SSAR) call for a second connection. Is
a stub out to a private road acceptable to the county?
4. If roll top curb is used, appropriate entrance details must be used. Driveways will not be
permitted to connect directly to standard roll top curb.
5. The proposed right of way must extent to one foot beyond the back of sidewalk.
6. Approved road plans meeting SSAR, and in compliance with the VDOT Road Design
Manual are required prior to plat approval.
If further information is desired, please contact Willis Bedsaul at 434-422-9866.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The

detached and single family attached dwellings in the development areas. Montgomery Ridge — Phase 4
will have to meet the requirements of this section.
The Preliminary Subdivision Plat that was submitted with this Exception Request shows the proposed 13-
lot single family detached subdivision with Road A as the inter -parcel connection from Montgomery Ridge
Road through TMP 046DO-00-00-000A2 to TMP 04600-00-00-02400.
The VDOT regulations require a minimum width of 24-feet from face of curb to face of curb for all the
l8l) roads in Phase 4. Sheet P5 shows the Typical Road Sections for Roads A, B, and C. Roads B and C have
the required 6' wide planting strip and 5' wide sidewalk on both sides of the street. The right-of-way width
,,t required for these roads is 48'. Since the width of TMP 046DO-00-00-000A2 is 40, it will not allow for
a 6' planting strip and 5' concrete sidewalk on both sides of Road A. Consequently, an exception for
sidewalk on the right side and planting strip on the left side of Road A is required for approval of
Montgomery Ridge Subdivision — Phase 4.

• (1) Pedestrian Oriented Neighborhood: Sidewalk connections between smaller blocks of a
neighborhood allow for pedestrian access to friend's homes and parks. Sidewalks along one
side of the street are acceptable where there is no development along one side of the street.
Section 14-422(F) Variation of or exception to planting strip requirements.
I. Information to be submitted
(i) As explained above, the width of TMP 046130-00-00-000A2 as recorded in DB 3210-729 is 40'
and does not allow for planting strips on both side of Road A. At the time the plat for Phase 2 was
recorded it was not determined that planting strips would have to be provided on both sides of the
road. The fast 1,000 feet of Montgomery Ridge Road was approved with planting strip on only
one side of the road because there are no houses along that portion of the road.
(ii) Sheet P5 shows the larger street network in the Montgomery Ridge Subdivision.
(iii) Sheets PI and P2 shows the conceptual subdivision and the boundaries of the parcel.
(iv) Sheet P5 shows the topography of the property at 2-foot contour intervals to a distance of 500' from
Road A.
(v) Sheets P3 and P4 show steep slopes. There are no streams, stream buffers, floodplains, or known
wetlands on this parcel.
(vi) Sheet P4 shows proposed layout of streets, lots, water mains, and sanitary sewer.
2. Consideration
(i) Not applicable.
(ii) Approval of a sidewalk exception is part of this request
(iii) Approval of this planting strip exception would promote the following goals of the Comprehensive
Plan, Neighborhood Model, and Places 29 Master Plan.
• Comprehensive Plan: Without this exception, TMP 04600-00-00-02400 will remain a 14-acre
property that is designated as `Neighborhood Density' on the Comprehensive Plan but will only
be allowed to have only one single family dwelling.
• (2) Neighborhood Friendly Streets & Paths: The 6' wide planting strip proposed on one side of
Road A will provide street trees between the road and the sidewalk.
• (3) Interconnected Streets: Without this exception, The Montgomery Ridge road network will
not be allowed to connect to TMP 04600-00-00-02400. In Addition, the proposed Phase 4 Road
Network will extend the existing road network to TMP 04600-00-00-02600, which has frontage
on Polo Grounds Road. Future development of 04600-00-00-02600 would further extend the
Montgomery Ridge road network to provide a second entrance onto Polo Grounds Road. The
existing Montgomery Ridge road network has only one entrance to an external public road.
• Places 29 - Future Land Use North Master Plan: Without this exception, TMP 04600-00-00-
02400 will remain a 14-acre property that is designated as `Neighborhood Density' on the
Master Plan but will only be allowed to have only one single family dwelling.
(iv) Approval of this planting strip exception would enable the following goal of the neighborhood
model.
• (1) Pedestrian Oriented Neighborhood: Sidewalk connections between smaller blocks of a
neighborhood allow for pedestrian access to friend's homes and parks. Sidewalks along one
side of the street are acceptable where there is no development along one side of the street.

RE: Right -of -Way Dedication for Foxchase Landing Final Plat
To Whom It May Concern:
There is currently a 0.184 acre parcel ]mows as Tax Map/Parcel 56G/A2 currently owned by 250 West
Holdings LLC. This portion of land was approved with the final plat for the Foxchase subdivision in 2003
with the notation that it is "reserved for future dedication to public use upon demand of the County." The
owner at that time did sign that plat thus permitting that parcel to be developed for public use upon the
demand of the County. The adjacent parcels are being proposed to be developed as Foxchase Landing, thus
will need to access the existing public roads in the existing Foxchase subdivision through the 0.184 acre
parcel that was "reserved for future dedication to public use upon the demand of the County." The
preliminary plat for Foxchase Landing was approved showing the roads in the Foxchase subdivision
connecting to the proposed subdivision via this .184 acre parcel of land. The 0.184 acres is intended to be
right -of way (ROW) for road construction and other infrastructure improvements and nothing else.
The final plat currently under review by the Department of Community Development for Foxchase Landing is
showing that public streets be established. This plat will be required to state that all roads will be dedicated to
public use. The Department of Community Development and the Virginia Department of Transportation are
reviewing the plans for these roads. The plat will not be signed until those plans are acceptable to both the
Department of Community Development and the Virginia Department of Transportation. The signature on the
plat by the agent for the Board of Supervisors acts as the County's demand that the area showing ROW is
now dedicated to public use for the construction of the roads and any other infrastructure improvements
needed. Thus the act of approving the plat by the County is the demand that it be dedicated to public use as
ROW and does not need the signature of the owner since that signature was given in 2003.

Francis H MacCall
