Review Status: Requested Changes Review Comments Project Name: BELVEDERE PHASE II - ROAD PLAN Waiver Date Completed: Friday, March 22, 2013 Reviewer: Joel DeNunzio Department /Division /Agency: VDOT Reviews Review Status: No Objection Phone 434 - 296 -5832 C pF ALg� IRGI �1P� County of Albemarle Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road, Charlottesville, VA, 22902 Memorandum To: Scott Collins (scott @collins - engineering.com) From: Ellie Ray, PLA, Senior Planner Division: Planning Date: January 10, 2013 Rev1: March 7, 2013 Subject: SUB 201200152 Belvedere Phase II - Road Plans Fax 434 - 972 -4126 The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the Road Plans referenced above once the following comments 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, which is to the Subdivision /Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.] 1. [Comment] This application was not submitted for subdivision plat review; comments provided are for Road Plans only. Remove all `site plan' and `subdivision' references from the title blocks. Please also remove all charts and tables that reference the lots, densities, etc, as this information is not being reviewed with this application. Rev1: Comment addressed. 2. Condition of Preliminary Approval: [Code of Development] & [14- 302(A)14] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved. Update Table 4 to reflect the changes to all green space and amenities requirements as approved with Variation #45. This shall include the following: a) The 0.07 acre reduction of `Park E, now 0.53 acres. b) The 1.15 acre reduction of `Park G', now 0.75 acres. c) The 1.26 acre addition to `Open Space Block 9, now 1.76 acres. d) The 0.02 acre increase in the `Block 9, Preservation Easement' conservation area, now 0.09 acres. e) The 0.17 acres increase in the Block 9, Preservation Easement' preservation area, now 0.8 acres. f) The updated Table 4 showing only the changes listed above must be provided as part of an updated Belvedere Code of Development and Application Plan reflecting all variations approved since February 2, 2010 (the latest Code revision date) comprehensively prior to Final Plat approval. g) Prior to final subdivision plat approval for Belvedere Phase 2, a landscape plan must be provided for the required amenity areas shown on the general development plan and described in the code of development. The plan must show the minimum features as required by the Belvedere Code of Development for Parks E (Dabney Park) and G (Griffen Park). It appears that some of the open space and preservation areas are different than what was presented on the preliminary plat; please verify. If additional changes are proposed, another variation may be required. Please also be aware that the updated Code of Development and Application Plan referred to in (f) above will be required prior to Final Plat approval. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. No additional variation is required for the increase in `Open Space Block 9' ((c) above) from 1.76 acres to 2.00 acres. However, the application plan shows preservation area behind all lots in Block 9 and Zoning has previously determined that Preservation Areas are not variable; please add preservation area behind lot 196 and move the trail so that it doesn't disturb this area. Additionally, if existing vegetation in any of the conservation and open space areas along the property boundary is disturbed, the disturbed area must be planted with buffer screening. It appears that a portion of the conservation area and a portion of the open space behind the SWM facility are both being disturbed; please add buffer plantings in these areas. The updated Belvedere Code of Development and Application Plan ((f) above) are required prior to Final Plat approval. The proposed retaining wall along the back of lots186 -190 is very close to the required preservation area. Please be aware that no disturbance of the preservation area will be allowed during the construction of the wall. Provide a conservation plan that demonstrates how the preservation area will be protected. Revl: Comment addressed. However, please provide a completed and signed Conservation Checklist on the landscape plan. The features shown for Parks E and G do not appear to meet the minimum requirements as described in the Code of Development. Park E does not show any `supplemental landscaping', and Park G does not appear to shown any landscaped area, fenced off -leash area for dogs, or benches. The parks must meet the minimum requirements. If substitutions are desired, zoning will need to review the request. Revl : Comment not fully addressed. Variation #45 was approved with the Preliminary Plat, which included the relocation of the SWM and associated adjustments to Park G (see variation documents). The additional landscaping in Park E is sufficient. Please provide details on the benches and other amenities provided in both parks, as these items must be bonded before the plans can be approved. As determined by Zoning, no additional variation is required for changing Park G to a tot lot and recreation field (versus a fenced dog park), but please be aware that when the Code is updated prior to Final Plat approval, it should include a modified description of Park G. 3. Condition of Preliminary Approval: [Code of Development] Plat/Road Plans and Table 8 must reflect the changes to all road sections as approved with Variation #48. This shall include the following: a) Road G (Colbert Street) - Section (4) total r/w width has been revised from 52' to 53'. Face of curb to face of curb dimension of 28' does not change. Design speed is changed from 20 mph to 25 mph. Parking is allowed on one side. b) Road X (Griffen Grove) and Road R (Dabney Grove) (not designated in original rezoning plan) have been designed with a 32' f /c -f /c, and a 57' R/W. Design speed is 25 mph with parking allowed on both sides. c) Roads H (Barnett Street) and l (Shelton Street) have been designed to conform to a modified version of section (5) with a r/w of 57' and a f/c — f/c width of 32'. Design speed has been changed from 20 mph to 25 mph. d) Road D (Farrow Road) - Section (6) from the rezoning plan has been revised to 34' f /c -f /c and 59' R/W. The proposed section now allows parking on both sides of the road. On- street parking bumpouts have been removed from the plan. e) An updated Table 8 showing all of the changes listed above must be provided as part of an updated Code of Development and Application Plan reflecting all variations approved since February 2, 2010 (the latest Code revision date) comprehensively prior to Final Plat approval. fJ Shift the Phase line for Phase 2 to include the entire R/W for Road 1, including the planting strip and sidewalk. Road D still has at least one `No Parking' sign shown along the southern edge, please remove. Be aware that the updated Code of Development and Application Plan referred to in (e) above will be required prior to Final Plat approval. Rev1: Comment addressed. No additional variation will be required for changing the roads to parking on one side only, as this is a requirement of Fire /Rescue and not Planning /Community Development. The revision to the phase line, to include the planting strip and sidewalk for Road I, is sufficient. 4. [Comment] Many of proposed street trees are either directly on top of or very close to proposed storm drain; please relocate one or the other to alleviate this conflict. Additionally, Platanus x acerifolia is a very large tree and probably not a suitable species selection for this type of subdivision. Rev1: Comment addressed.

Road and drainage plans (SUB201200152) VDOT comment: The alley entrance widths must be 24 ft for the entrance throat length of 35 ft, but can then taper down to 20 ft. a. VDOT approval is required. [DM905] b. Please show stop signs on alley intersection with public roads. c. County E -911 road name signs are not to be attached to State required traffic control signs. Please show separated signs for each on all intersections. Generally, "Stop" signs are on the right side of the intersection and the E_911 "street name" sign is on the left. d. Please show the signs more prominently if they are not going to be individually labeled on the road plan. e. Please show "No Parking" signs with arrows at the beginning and end of no parking areas with additional "No Parking" signs every 100' or more often between end designation signs. Appears only Colbert Street requires "No Parking" signs. f. Typical street section for Colbert Street needs to show the crown in the road centered on the travel -way with parking on one side of the travel -way and "No Parking" signs on the other. g. Appears parking is allowed on both sides of Dabney Grove, Griffen Grove and Farrow Drive. The "No Parking" signs for these roads may be removed from the plan. h. Please show Farrow Drive 34' curb to curb for the entire length as stated in VDOT preliminary comments and remove note stating the road is to be narrowed between Dabney Grove and Butler Street. i. Please show sight distance easements on the planting plan for review. j. Alleys need drop inlets installed along the edge /curbing and on each side of entrances to prevent the runoff producing storm event from entering the street. k. Please change all turning radii to a minimum 25' as required in the preliminary plan approval. 1. Miles and Philips alleys are shown with over 10% slopes. Engineering Review Comments Page 2 of 3 2. Stormwater Management and Mitigation Plan (WPO201200096) a. Please provide an adequate channel analysis for runoff from proposed construction. Analysis could be proven given: i. Adherence to VESCH MS -19 requirements (see 4VAC50- 30 -40, MS -19 sec. b (1)): The applicant shall demonstrate that total drainage area to the point of analysis within the channel is one hundred times greater than the contributing drainage areas of the project in question. A report or plan depiction with analysis to this point could prove channel adequacy. ii. adherence to VA code 10.1 - 603.4(7): essentially, the required condition for an on -site solution without looking downstream for a 24 hour 1.5, 2, and 10 -year intensity event - (post - development) Peak flow rate <= Pf *Vf/Vp Where Pf = peak flow rate in a forested condition Vf = runoff volume in a forested condition Vp = runoff volume proposed b. Type III retention basin does not appear designed in accordance with VSMH 3.06. Basin appears to be a shell for the construction of a retention basin. Please show appropriate shoreline fringe, riparian fringe, and flood plain terrace vegetation in accordance with expected frequency and duration of inundation. Selection and installation guidelines should be per Minimum Standards 3.05, Landscaping. 3. Erosion Control Plan (WPO201200096) a. Please add this note to the plan "SB #1B will not be removed until the road and drainage system is installed and approved by the WPO Inspector." b. A portion of the proposed grading and retaining wall are off the page in the lower right hand corner of the plan sheets. Please show the entire project for adequate review. Additional comments may be forthcoming due to missing information for what appears to be an unprotected swale and wall construction. c. Please show the full extent of the paths to be constructed and how they will be protected. Fire and Rescue Comments: Based on Road Plan dated 12/13/12 1. Fire Hydrant spacing shall be 500 feet per travelway. I have the PDF copy showing the hydrant locations discussed with your office. 2. Turning Radii shall be no less then 25 ft 3. Roads with parking on one side shall be marked 'NO Parking" per the VSFPC D103.6 4. All roads need to maintain a 20 ft wide clear path of travel at all times. Streets need to be marked accordingly.
