RE: Briarwood Commercial Lot - Preliminary (SUB201300043)
I have completed the engineering review for SUB201300043. Please see the following
comments.
A traffic study is needed to address the following:
a. Determine if a "left turn only lane" is warranted for both the unnamed frontage road and
Briarwood Drive due to future developments west of proposed gas station.
b. Roadway improvements to accommodate traffic generated by proposed development.
c. Traffic control devices such as signs and pavement markings.
d. The pavement design will be determined by the ADT.
[Revision 11 Comment not addressed. Please provide the full build -out of Briarwood
Subdivision and assumptions of the full buildout for lot 1 -5 in the traffic generation.
2. Please show the location of SWM within site's property lines.
[Revision I Comment addressed. SWM will be accommodated on each lot.
I recommend that all proposed roads be public roads per Section 14 -234 B.
In considering a request for• approval of one or more private streets, the agent and commission
shall consider that: (i) private streets are intended to be the exception to public streets; and (ii)
absent compelling circumstances, private streets should not cross over dams or bridges or involve
other infrastructure that would be reasonably prohibitive to maintain, should not serve as the
primary or sole interconnection between the subdivision and abutting property, or serve through
traffic by being the connector between two or more public streets.
[Revision 1] Comment satisfied. The applicant will pursue private streets.
4. Provide the traffic pattern for the largest vehicle entering the site to verify turning radii are
adequate for site. (Use a WB -40 Design Vehicle).
[Revision 11 Comment addressed.
5. VDOT approval is required for the entrance off of Rte 29. Please refer to Appendix F in VDOT
Road Design Manual for commercial entrance design.
[Revision 11 Comment acknowledged.
6. The island in the entrance is not required since there is already a median on Rte 29 that restricts

left turns. Please remove.
[Revision 11 Comment addressed, but the full buildout for subdivision and proposed lots are
still required to analyze right in right out.
7. 20' is the minimum for a two way access aisle. Since additional parking is shown south of site,
please increase travelway to 20'.
[Revision 11 Comment not addressed.
8. Road plans will need to be reviewed and approved before plat can be approved.
[Revision 11 Comment acknowledged.
9. Approval of the plat can only be recommended when improvements have been bonded per "14-
435".
[Revision I Comment acknowledged.
10. It appears the topo on the plans were updated since the Briarwood gas station application, but the
topo info on the front sheet has not changed. Please include revised topo information in front
sheet.
[Revision 11 Comment not addressed. Please update the date and source of the topographic
info on the title page since it has been updated to show additional critical slopes. This
comment was initiated in the Briarwood Gas Station project.
New Comments:
11. Please align the two proposed private roads intersecting Briarwood Drive.
12. The proposed private street on lot 2 is encroaching on an existing SWM access easement.
Please address.
13. All improvements shall be bonded prior to the approval of the plat.
Sincerely,

11. [14-422(C) & 32.7.9.9] As d epicted the. planting stripe have been reduced from 6/ wide as previously
daoicted�on earlier versions of the plat to the current 3' wide planting strip; however, these planting athoe
are required to be a minimum of 6' in width. Revise. If the applicant wishes tn seek a waiver bvthe Planning
Commission of the planting strip requirements per 14-422F please submit the waiver request
12.[14'302BG] Dn the plat the zoning of the adjacent properties is incorrectly labeled as NMD; however, County
records indicate these lots as zoned PRO. Revise.
13. M4-302A7, 136O On the plat clearly |obo| the existing property lines forTyVIP 032GO'113-02-000130. 0326D-
1B-02-07100. 032GD-1B-02-07000 as currently it is difficult to determine their existing rear lot lines which
abut the C-1 lot which is proposed to be divided.
14. [18- 21.7c, 14-302135] On the plat depict the required 20' undisturbed buffer that is present on TMP 032GO-
00-00-OOOAO being this C-1 lot abuts a Residential District. This should also be listed on the cover sheet
under setbacks.
15. [18-21.7c] Does the proposed private rood or its grading disturb the required buffer on TMP 032GO-00-00'
DUDAO? On the plat clearly |obo| and show the limits of disturbance. If the buffer is to be disturbed a "waiver"
request for this disturbance will be required per section 18-21.7 of the ordinance. The waiver request for the
gas station lot does not cover this disturbance.
16. [18- 21'7o] Also, on Lot 5 it appears that a portion of the future private street easement is crossing into the
required 20' buffer; while the exact location of that easement is not being approved with this plat or the final
plat it should be relocated out of the 20' buffer for clarification purposes.
17. [14'302A4] |t appears T[NP 032GO-00-00-00OA0 has ocoup|o substantial existing easements running from
north west to south east on the property which are not shown on the preliminary plat; such aa, existing
drainage easements and existing sewer easements (see DB2SO4-34>. The location and dimensions of
these easements are required to be depicted on the plat, |obe|ad, and provide with deed book page
reference information. Revise.
18. [14'3O2AD] The plat depicts "0'B2 acres of Open Space for Tax Map 33G Parcel A"^ and ^0.2S acres of
Open Space for 32G Parcel A' As shown it is not clear if these areas are to be divided off into their own
lots, or added to the PRD of Briarwood through a Boundary Line Adjustment, or to be to remain a part of Lot
1, Lot 3, and Lot 2? On the plat please clarify what is being done with these lands.
(The following should be taken into consideration when resubmitting- per discussions with the 2bn/hg
Department these open space areas cannot be counted towards the rectuire open space fbr8rionxxoud
requirements of Section �7, currently staff does not feel they meet the definition of open space per Section
4[7nf the ordinance. /fit/s the applicant's intent bo develop these ea standalone lots please explain how
they meet the definition of Section 4.7).
19. [14-302A2] As depicted the vicinity map is 1 300'; however, it is required to be 1 "=2000'. Revise.
20. [14- 302A13] On the plat depict the proposed facilities (water and sewer lines). Revise.

Re: SUB2013 -43 Briarwood Preliminary Subdivision Plat and Privafe Road Request
Dear Mr, Perez:
We have reviewed the Briarwood Commercial Lot Preliminary Subdivision Plat dated 31251413 with revisions dated
6120 }.,13 as submitted by Collins Engineering and offer the following comments:
1. The comer clearance for the proposed private roads is not shown in accordance with Appendix F of the
Road Design Manual. It appears that the roads will not meet the comer clearance requirement and will
need to either be realigned, or an AM -2 exception request will need to be requested.
2. The note concerning the guardrail needs to be revised, indicating that the guardrail will be relocated in
accordance with the Road Design Manual and the GRIT Manual.
3. The sight distance requirement for a 25 mph road is 280 feet, not 200 feet as indicated.
4. The sight lines need to originate from a location that is 14.5 feet from the edge of travel. The sight lines
need to be revised accordingly.
5. The sight lines for the proposed private road to the east of Briarwood Drive need to be provided.
6. A stop bar and stop sign need to be provided for the right -in, right -out entrance onto Route 29.
7. The traffic study does not take into account traffic generation of the build -out for the residential
development beyond the private roads, The study does indicate that the opposing and advancing traffic wilt
increase. An attempt to quantify this in the study should be made. and evaluated.
8. The traffic study needs to include trip generation for the proposed private road to the north of Briarwood
Drive.
9. The topography in the area is not level as indicated in the traffic study. A rolling terrain should be used.
10. The default PE IF (0.92-- 1.00) should be in the future case according to the TIA guidelines.
11. The analysis results reported in the tables list queue values that exceed capacity and should be evaluated
using the average of multiple SimTraffic runs (minimum 10 runs) reporting the Average Maximum Queue.
12. The two proposed private roads should line up with each other perpendicularly.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.

Re: Special Use Permits and Rezoning Requests
Dear Mr. Fritz:
Below are comments for comments for the April, 2013 Rezoning and Special Use Permit applications:
SP201300007 — Cingular Wireless/Pace Property Tier III Personal Wireless Service Facility (Sarah Baldwin)
1. The proposed facility will access the State Highway System (Route 20) via an existing private entrance.
The proposed use will not significantly change the traffic generation of this exiting entrance. Therefore,
VDOT does not have any objections to this proposed facility.
2. Should the use. maintenance or safety of this entrance change, VDOT reserves the right to reevaluate the
existing entrance.
SP201300008 — Cingular Wireless /Greenmont Farm (Scott Clark)
1. This proposed facility will require a new private entrance for access to the State Highway System (Route
627). The AADT for this road is less than 100 vehicles per day based on 2011 traffic counts. An entrance
permit will need to be obtained from this office prior to construction beginning on the project. The
entrance will need to meet the VDOT standard for PE -I entrances. The entrance will not require an
entrance culvert to handle the runoff. The entrance can be graded with a swale to handle the runoff.
SUB2013000043 — Briarwood Commercial Lot — Preliminary Subdivision Plat & Private Road (Christopher

✓ Comments:
• Show proposed water and sewer infrastructure for new commercial lot.
• Label onsite sewer line (out of service) to be removed or filled.
• Show a cap on the sewer line (out of service) south of the private road, to be completed by
the contractor.
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.

Dear Mr. Brooks:
Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the April 18th, 2013 Site Review Committee Meeting:
SDP - 2013 -00008 Cingular Wireless/ Greenmont Farm (Scott Clark)
1. A land use permit will be required for construction within the right of way.
2. Proposed entrance site will need to be reviewed by a VDOT Land Development permit inspector.
SP- 2013 -00007 Cingular Wireless/ Pace Property Tier III Personal Wireless Facility (Sarah
Baldwin)
1. A land use permit will be required for construction within right of way.
2. Proposed entrance site will need to be reviewed by a VDOT Land Development permit inspector.
SUB - 2013 -00043 Briarwood Commercial Lot — Preliminary Subdivision Plat & Private Road
(Chris Perez)
1. Lengths of the deceleration lanes should be calculated based on the design speed of the road
2. Acceleration lane is not necessary for entrance.
3. A median that prevents left turn ingress movements should be used instead of the large right -in,
right -out triangular entrance median. The egress lane should meet Seminole Trail straight on and
have a stop sign and stop bar.
4. Shoulder should meet VDOT Road Design Manual GS -1 Standards including minimum shoulder
width of 13ft with 8ft paved shoulder and minimum width of ditch front slope of 1Oft.
5. Detailed road plans will need to be submitted for the entrance.
5th Street Station (Megan Yaniglos)
Typical Section
1. Shoulder should meet VDOT Road Design Manual GS -7 standards.
2. A paved shoulder should be used rather than a gravel shoulder to prevent stones from obstructing
bike lane.
3. VDOT suggests using curb and gutter instead of shoulder along the road for permanent typical
section.
4. Geometry should allow for a 16ft median for potential expansion to 4 -lane road in the future.
General
5. Raised medians should be used rather than painted medians.
6. Road geometry cannot be accurately assessed due to through lanes not meeting up with center
line. Provide a center line for currently proposed section of road.
7. Show curb ramps on sidewalk.
8. Entrances from Bent Creek Road to parking and retail areas need to meet minimum throat length
standards.
9. Entrances should be consolidated at the new intersection of Bent Creek Road and Avon Street.
10. Permits will be required for grading on I -64. Applicants should be in touch with necessary
parties as soon as possible.
11. Road and drainage plans need to be provided and reviewed.

Subject: SUB 2013 -00043 Briarwood- Preliminary subdivision plat and private road request
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will approve 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 -234, 14- 23361, 14- 200(C)] Procedure to authorize private street and related matters. A private road
request has been submitted by the applicant under 14- 233131. In order to approve the request the agent
must be able to make each of the five (5) findings identified in paragraph "C" of Section 14 -234. Notably, the
request for the private road is incomplete and additional information is required for staff to make a final
determination as to whether number one (1) and number three (3) of the criteria are met. Below I have
provided the five (5) findings which must be made and a description as to whether they are met or not and
what is requested to assist staff in making a finding.
Also, it appears that the private road request does not meet the requirements of number four (4), and at this
time the Agent is NOT able to approve /deny the request. Before making a final determination on number
four (4) the Agent has requested staff take the request to the Planning Commission to gain their opinion of
the matter pursuant to Section 14- 200(C) and 14- 234(C)4 prior to making a decision. This item will be
scheduled to go to Planning Commission on the regular scheduled meeting per the SRC schedule: May 21,
2013.
/f the applicant chooses to revise the plat and modify the proposed road to be public as Engineering has
requested, please let staff know and the item will be taken off the Planning Commission Agenda, and we'll
await the resubmittal of the plat.
1. The private street will be adequate to carry the traffic volume which may be reasonably expected to
be generated by the subdivision. (At this time staff is unable to make this finding. Additional
information is requested by Engineering staff (see Michelle's comments below)).
.2. The comprehensive plan does not provide for a public street in the approximate location of the
proposed private street, (The Comprehensive Plan supports a connection in the approximate
location of the proposed street; see Comp Plan - Appendix 4 Access Management Report for US
29, page 23 of 29. The Comprehensive Plan does not specify whether the connection is to be
public or private, but rather a connection is supported. Thus this finding appears to be met.)
3. The fee of the private street will be owned by the owner of each lot abutting the right -of -way thereof
or by an association composed of the owners of all lots in the subdivision, subject in either case to any
easement for the benefit of all lots served by the street, (Additional information is requested: please
provide a maintenance agreement to meet this requirement, once provided the County Attorney
will review the document, County Attorney approval is required prior to approval).
4. Except where required by the commission to serve a specific public purpose, the private street will not
serve through traffic nor intersect the state highway system in more than one location; and (As
proposed the private street will intersect the state highway system in more than one location:
Briarwood Drive and Route 29. Also, as depicted the "future private road" is intended to
intersect two additional state roads: Camelot Drive and Austin Drive. Because of this, the private
road request does not meet the requirements of number four (4), and at this time the Agent is
NOT able to approve /deny the.request. Before making a final determination on number four (4)
the Agent has requested staff take the request to the Planning Commission to gain their opinion
of the matter pursuant to Section 14- 200(C) and 14- 234(C)4 prior to making a decision.)
5. If applicable, the private street has been approved in accordance with section 30.3, flood hazard
overlay district, of the zoning ordinance and other applicable law. (Does not appear applicable)
1 [14- 303(E)] Dimension standards and information on all lots, streets, alleys, easements, and shared
driveways. On the plat provide/ label easement for the private street as "private street easement ". Also, the
easement holder(s) shall be identified on the plat.
3. [14- 234(A)1a(iv), 14- 302(A)4 & 14 -317] Provide documentation explaining how the perpetual maintenance
of the private street, curb and gutters, sidewalks, and planting strip landscaping will be funded, and identify
the person or entity that will be responsible for maintaining the improvements. Please submit the above for
review /approval by the County Attorney's Office. Please submit a draft of this document to me and I will
review it and forward it to the County Attorney for his review/ approval.
4. [Comment] The. applicant currently has a site plan for a gas station under review in our office, there
appears to be a significant difference in acreage between the two submittals. The gas station site was
located on 2.10 acres and "Lot V is now proposed to be 1.73 acres. Please keep this in mind when
subdividing the lots as additional acreage may be needed to accommodate the gas station as proposed.
5. [Comment] On sheet 1, under General Notes, Setbacks. Please remove or revise the note which states:
"This plan includes a waiver request for the disturbance within the buffer zone adjacent to..." as that note
appears to be a carryover from the site plan for the gas station. The subdivision application under review
does not have such a waiver associated with it, rather the gas station site plan does.
6. [14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. Documents relevant to dedication
and /or maintenance of open space must be provided for review to the County Attorney in orderfor final
subdivision plat approval. Please submit a draft of this'document to me and I will review it and forward it to
the County Attorney for his review/ approval prior to final plat approval.
7. [Comment] On the plat the private road abruptly ends at Lot 5; however this is not adequate. Either provide
a temporary turnaround and it shall be bonded to include the turnaround or all of the private road may be
bonded to the existing road (Austin Drive). Please note that the temp turnaround must meet standards /be
approved by VDOT and Fire and Rescue.
8. [14 -303] Temporary Turnarounds. If the temporary turnaround option is chosen, on the plat provide the
following note: "The area on this plat designated as temporary turnaround will be constructed and used as
other streets in the subdivision until (street name) is/are extended to (street name), at which time the land in
the temporary turnaround area will be abandoned for street purposes and will revert to adjoining property
owners in accordance with specific provisions in their respective deeds."
9. [Comment] Who will maintain the right -in, right -out entrance onto Route 29? Is it to be dedicated to VDOT?
10. [14- 302(B)1] General information. Add a revision date to all future submittals.
Engineering — Michelle Roberge
1. A traffic study is needed to address the following:
a. Determine if a "left turn only lane" is warranted for both the unnamed frontage road and Briarwood
Drive due to future developments west of proposed gas station.
b. Roadway improvements to accommodate traffic generated by proposed development.
c. Traffic control devices such as signs and pavement markings.
d. The. pavement design will be determined by the ADT.
2. Please show the location of SWM within site's property lines.
3. 1 recommend that all proposed roads be public roads per Section 14 -234 B.
In considering a request for approval of one or more private streets, the agent and commission shall consider
that: (i) private streets are intended to be the exception to public streets, and (ii) absent compelling
circumstances, private streets should not cross over dams or bridges or involve other infrastructure that would
be reasonably prohibitive to maintain, should not serve as the primary or sole interconnection between the
subdivision and abutting property, or serve through traffic by being the connector between two or more public
streets.
4. Provide the traffic pattern for the largest vehicle entering the site to verify turning radii are adequate for site.
(Use a WB -40 Design Vehicle).
5. VDOT approval is required for the entrance off of Rte 29. Please refer to Appendix F in VDOT Road Design
Manual for commercial entrance design.
6. The island in the entrance is not required since there is already a median on Rte 29 that restricts left turns.
Please remove.
7. 20' is the minimum for a two way access aisle. Since additional parking is shown south of site, please
increase travel way to 20'.
8. Road plans will need to be reviewed and approved before plat can be approved.
9. Approval of the plat can only be recommended when improvements have been bonded per "14- 435 ".
10. It appears the topo on the plans were updated since the Briarwood gas station application, but the topo info
on the front sheet has not changed. Please include revised topo information in front sheet.
Fire and Rescue — Shawn Maddox
Fire Rescue has no objections with the lots as configured. As the design moves forward into site plans, road
plans, etc please note the following:
1. Roads less than 32' of unobstructed travel lane must have a turn radius of 25' or greater. These should be
shown on the plans.
2. Hydrant spacing will be based upon the needed fire flow for the development.
3. Parking on private streets, if needed, will be based upon the street widths.
4. Dead end fire apparatus access roads in excess of 150' shall be provided with width and turnaround
provisions in accordance with the VA Statewide Fire Prevention Code.
E911 -Andrew Slack
1. The applicant should contact this office with a list of three (3) private road names for each of the
proposed roads shown on the plans (Private Road accessing Rt. 29 and Private Road accessing
Briarwood Drive).
