Relief is sought from the turnabout design standards required in the Albemarle County Design Standards Manual, and the rear yard requirements of Section 4.6.4 for townhome Lot A in order to facilitate vehicular turnaround in the proposed alley. This request takes into consideration the comments received from Planning dated June 19, 2013, whereby it was requested that the proposed alley design be revised. The turnabout was redesigned to provide a full branch-type turnabout. Twenty-five feet of pavement is provided past the branch for adequate vehicular reversal. The branch alley portion extends into townhome Lot A rear yard a total of 18' plus a 1' gravel buffer,to allow for the turn-about motion. This design provides four feet from the edge of the private access easement to the buildable area for proposed townhome Lot A. A turnabout is preferred to a dead end alley in order to prevent vehicular use of private driveways for the turnabout motion. The branch-type turnabout design represents the most efficient turnabout design for the lot layout desired, while allowing vehicles to change direction without reversing the full length of the alley. The design proposed herein shall not have any negative impact to public health, safety, welfare, or other considerations that might result from the branch-type turnabout as proposed. Thank you for the assistance with this waiver; please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information pertaining to this request.
