Service Authtrity_
The Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) has no technical comments on the SUB
being reviewed. Engineering comments are usually reserved for the site plan review stage.
Subdivision plats should correctly show ownership of properties and existing easements. Recordation
of new easements should occur before dedication to and acceptance by the ACSA.
The ACSA can review the proposed subdivision plat and determine if it is included in the
jurisdictional area for water and /or sewer service. Water and /or sewer connections to the ACSA
system are allotted on a first come, first served basis at the time connection fees are paid. The ACSA
does not reserve capacity in its system for a specific project.

The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plat 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.]
[14 -422] Sidewalks and planting strips. Provide planting strips and sidewalks on private roads.
Sidewalks and planting strips for street trees and other vegetation shall be established 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. This requirement can be varied or excepted
by the commission as provided in section 14- 203.1.
2. [14- 302(8) 3 & 14 -409] Public areas, facilities or uses & Coordination. Park Ridge Drive should be
extended through this parcel to connect to Hill Top Street. The Crozet Master Plan shows a
connection at this location and code Section 14 -302 states that public streets within a subdivision
shall be coordinated as to location, width, grades and drainage with other public streets. Adjacent
Tax Map Parcel 56A2 -4 -A2 is to be dedicated to public use for roadway the extension upon request
by the County.
[Comment] The preliminary plat for Foothills Crossing I shows two roads intersecting with the
shown segment of Park Ridge Drive. Phase IV shows a connector road (four way intersection) and
Phase VI shows Road A (three way intersection). Road A is directly east of the boundary line with
Foothills Crossing 11. The proposed intersection just west of the property line would be too close to
Road A.
4. [14.401] Proposed facilities. Show the locations of proposed on street parking. Parking calculations
will need to be provided on final plat.
5. [14.401] Double frontage lots. Lots J, K, L are double frontage lots because they have less than 20
feet of common area between the rear of the lot and the second street and have a depth of less
than 350 feet. Double frontage lots are prohibited. Amend layout to eliminate the double frontage
lots. This requirement can be varied or excepted by the agent as provided in section 14- 203.1.
6. [2.2.3] Cluster Development —Open Space. Show square footage or acreage of open space
segments on plat and provide calculations to show that 25% open space requirement is met for
each zoning district. Open space does not need to be located entirely within each zoning district,
but calculations should be provided to show that requirements are met for both R -2 and R -6
zoning districts.
7. [14- 302(A) 8] Proposed lots. Proposed density does not match proposed lots shown on layout plan.
12 townhouse blocks are shown with 61 future townhouse lots. Density note indicates 15
townhomes /single family attached units. Correct density note or provide clarification.
8. [14 -406 & 14- 302(A) 9] Remnants & Building sites on proposed lots. Lots labeled "reserved for
future development" are remnants that do not appear to have building sites. Remnants are not
permitted. You can eliminate remnants by changing the proposed layout or through a boundary
line adjustment.
9. [Comment] The note on sheet 1 under building sites states that each parcel is assigned one
development right. Development rights do not exist in the development areas. Please delete this
note. The table on sheet 3 lists development rights for each block. Please amend table to show
number of future lots rather than development rights for each block.
10. [14- 302(A) 4] Private easements. State ownership of private roads and private alleys.
11. [14- 302(A) 4] Private easements. Is the existing 20' ROW easement to be vacated? If so, indicate
this on the plat.
12. [14- 302(A) 5] Public easements. A public road is shown extending on to Tax Map Parcel 56 -5713.
This property owner will need to be party to the public road easement.
13. [14 -409] Continuation and extension of streets. Extend Maryland Street all the way to the property
line if possible. If not, reserve remaining portion between street and property line for future public
use.
14. [Comment] Label street between block A and block B.
15. [14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. Submit with the final plat
an instrument assuring the perpetual maintenance of the private streets and alleys, street trees,
open space and any other improvements that are to be maintained in perpetuity.
16. [14 -311] Infrastructure improvement plans. Road plans are required with submittal of final plat
and must be approved prior to approval of final plat.
17. [14- 302(A) 7] Existing and departing lot lines. It appears Tax Map Parcel 56 -52 being vacated but
property lines are still shown on plat. Provide a label if these lines are to show zoning boundary
lines rather than property lines.
18. [14 -312] Location of existing buildings. Show location of all existing buildings within fifty feet of lot
lines on final plat.

Re: SUB - 2014 -00094 Foothills Crossing II — Preliminary Plat
Dear Ms. Falkenstein:
We have reviewed the preliminary subdivision plat for Foothills Crossing II dated 619114 as submitted by Collins
Engineering and offer the following comments:
I . The sight lines are shown on the preliminary plat, however the distances should be included also.
2. It appears that the street trees on the north side of Park Ridge Drive to the east of Newport Street may
interfere with the sight distance at Newport Street.
3. All street trees should be located a minimum of 30' from the end of radius at each intersection in
accordance with Appendix B(1) of the Road Design Manual. This can be addressed during road plan
review.
4. As designed, Newport Street to the north of Park Ridge Drive would need to be a private road due to the
lack of an adequate turnaround and the perpendicular parking at the tot lot.
5. Street intersections, public or private, should be perpendicular to each other.
6. The minimum radii at each intersection should be 25'.
7. Maryland Street and the private alley on the opposite side of Park Ridge Drive should be aligned with each
other.
8. The typical section for an Avenue in the Crozet Masterplan shows accommodations for bicycle travel,
however the typical sections shown in the preliminary plat does not address this issue.
9. The Typical Neighborhood Street Section (57' R/W) indicates parking on one side of the street. Neither
the typically section nor the plan view indicates which side of the streets will be used for on street parking.
Please note that on street parking may interfere with available sight distance.
10. The asphalt paving design provided will be verified during road plan review.
11. Based on the Crozet Masterplan, Park Ridge Drive would need to connect to Hill Top Street. There
appears to be a parcel of land that is owned by the Parkside Village HOA that would prevent this
connection without the support of the HOA,
If additional information is needed concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at (434) 422 -9782.

SUB201400094 – Required with Final Plat
Sec. 14 -311: "detailed plans, computations and necessary supporting documents for all physical
improvements including, but not limited to, road plans, drainage plans and computations, erosion and
sediment control plans and stormwater management plans and computations as required by the water
protection ordinance, landscape plans, water and sewer plans and computations as required by the service
authority, flooding computations and plans if applicable, and any other documents deemed necessary by the
county engineer. The plans, computations and necessary supporting documents shall also be submitted to
other appropriate agencies." Plans referenced in Sec. 14 -311 must be approved prior to final plat approval.
Road Plan comments, preliminary:
15. Park Ridge Drive requires temporary turn- around, west end.
16. Lots 1, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23 front public streets: Fremont St., Newport St, and Binion St. Driveway entrances
for these lots –if located as far from Park Ridge as possible and vehicles turning off Park Ridge Drive —
provide quite limited sight distance. Caution against limited sight distance for driveway entrances.
17. Newport Street (public street) bears north, turns 90 -deg west onto a private road. This design is
unacceptable. The 90 -deg bend is not an intersection but break in alignment. Newport St should be
designed as a continuous public road between Park Ridge Drive and NW corner of block B, or as a private

road. Design of a private road serving twelve lots must meet VDOT standards, including 200' min
centerline radius, minimum stopping and intersection sight distances, and min. paved width (24', FC/FC).
Eliminate 90 -deg bend.
18. Private road serving twenty lots (blocks J -L) must meet VDOT standards, including min. sight distance,
min. paved width (24', FC /FC).
19. For roadways labeled private, follow Albemarle County Code Sections 14- 233/234; 14 -306: private street
request procedures.
20. Private road and private alley parallel to Park Ridge Drive do not meet minimum intersection sight distance
requirements; show intersection sight distance lines for Maryland St.- private road intersection. [AC 18 -4.4]
21. Five intersection sight distances lines appear to be < 335'; please note which sight distance lines are < 335'
-ref. Note 1, sheet 3. [122', 275', 280', 280', 280']
22. Increase radius of curb at intersection, Private Alley and Newport St, to 25' [if alley retained, ref 20, above
-VDOT Road Design Manual, Appendix B 1 A.E.- Elements of Typical Section, Intersections].
23. Increase radius of curb at intersection, Private Alley and Park Ridge Drive, to 25'.

The applicant should clarify if Blocks J, K, and L will have the front accesses located. It appears that the homes in
these blocks will be facing the 'Private Road'. This road will need to be named if it will be the primary access to the
properties. The 'Private Road' providing access to Blocks B, C, D, and Lot 85 will need to be named. Please
contact this office with a list of three (3) proposed road names for the 'Private Roads' in question.
