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.

Plan received date: 17 Dec. 2012
Date of comments: 14 Jan. 2013
Reviewer: Max Greene
1. 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.

Subject: SUB-2012-00153 Belevedere Phase II Final Site Plan
Max,
Joel and I have reviewed the subject plan and have the following comment. Alleys must be a minimum of 24 feet wide.
An e-mail was sent to the applicant on 7-13-2012 stating that the 24 ft width requirement can be reduced to 20 feet for
one way traffic flow.These alleys do not appear to be limited to one way traffic and need to meet the minimum width
requirement of 24 ft.
Thanks,
