Stormwater Management Note indicates post-developed runoff will be entirely sheet flow. a. Provide detail;how this is to occur,specifically. Consider/discuss SWM water quality requirements,and how proposed subdivision proposes to meet requirements at 9VAC25-870-65. b. Consider and discuss concentrated roof leader line discharge,how this converts to sheet flow. c. Clarify that subdivision proposes forest/open space easement,to credit post-developed forest /open space land cover in VRRM.xls,and thereby reduce phosphorus reduction requirements. d. Submit WPO Application at earliest convenience. i. WPO plan must be approved prior to final subdivision plat approval. ii. FOS easement(if proposed)may be recorded with the final plat. iii. Ensure no fill within 100 yr-floodplain. iv. Ensure grading/proposed subdivision is consistent with permitted and prohibited uses and structures table(18-30.3.11). 2. Source of boundary and topography:Revise note to include survey date and name of the licensed professional;or a statement that topography data provided by the county was used. Also,field verification of topography within the last 12 months is required,if date of survey is not within the last 12 months. 3. Revise Floodzone Note to reference May 16,2016(FIRM),rather than Feb.04,2005(see 18-30.3.2). C2 4. Show Ex.tree line. 5. Label Lickinghole Creek. 6. Show Ex.OHP/overhead telephone. 7.

VDOT will not maintain private shared driveway entrances within public RW. 10. Label all entrance widths(Lots 1-7)at their narrowest point,whether narrowest point occurs within or beyond public RW. 11. Provide existing contour labels,Lots 1-7. Engineering Review Comments Page 2 of 3 12. Provide sight distance easement/s for entrances,wherever required,across lots. Sight distance easements may be recorded with the final subdivision plat. 13. Label stream buffer,which appears coincident with horizontal limits of the 100-yr floodplain. 14. 14-302.A.12:Provide proposed grading required to evaluate drainage,elevations,etc. Additional comments are possible. 15. Provide existing and proposed spot elevations to aid review of improvements,FFE,etc.relative to Floodplain BFE. 16. Show and label existing San.Sewer improvements within Crozet Avenue public RW,if proposed 8"sewer pipe is to connect with an existing sanitary sewer within Crozet Ave.RW. C4 is ambiguous. It is unclear whether sanitary effluent is to route to Crozet Ave.,or to Ex.30'wide San.Easement on Lot 1. Please clarify sanitary sewer design. 17. Provide deed bk.-pg.ref.for existing sanitary and ACSA WL easement/s beyond public RW. 18. Provide note with final plat that no improvements may be constructed within floodplain or stream buffer(at County Engineer request,per ordinance). 19. Provide sanitary sewer profile. Ensure any portion of proposed sanitary sewer within floodplain is watertight,with lids elevated above base flood elevation per county/ACSA construction requirements. 20. 14-302.A.13:Stormwater Management Note indicates structural measures are required to convert post- developed concentrated runoff from impervious surfaces(roof leader lines,for example)to sheet flow. Revise plat to show/label proposed drainage and SWM facilities(level spreaders/riprap,for example),and related improvements. 21. With WPO Application,provide detail sufficient to demonstrate compliance with state SWM quality /quantity requirements. 22. Ensure revised preliminary plat meets 18-30.3 requirements for permissible use or activity within mapped floodplain. 23. Recommend revise sheet title to Site Layout since this is not a site plan. 24. Provide a grading plan. Grading plan must identify offsite borrow or waste areas. At a minimum,grading plan should include: a. Existing grade b. Proposed grade c. FFE,for each structure(single-family home) d. Basement floor elevation,each structure[see 14-302.B.9] e. Cut/fill balance,or narrative,to give preliminary indication of import/export. 25. Provide/label ACSA utility access easement. If ACSA utility access easement is across Lot 6,please label so that owner of Lot 6 is reasonably notified/able to anticipate movement of equipment across easement, across lot. 26. Shift location of structure on Lot 7 to provide minimal clearance,outside stream buffer and floodplain,to construct single-family dwelling. Location of structure on Lot 7 touching 100-yr floodplain and stream buffer cannot be approved;proposed location does not provide adequate area for construction,while simultaneously avoiding stream buffer/floodplain trespass. 27. Shift location of structure on Lot 6,for the same reason. 28. 14-302.A.9:Show/label location,area and dimensions of a building site on each proposed lot complying with the requirements of section 18-4.2. 29. Engineering has no objection to request for variation from Sec. 14-404(A). Letter d. 11/20/20 requests a variation from requirements of Section 14-404(A),which requires a single point of access on the lot from one street,shared driveway,or alley established at the same time as the original subdivision. The letter request states: 'The subdivision plat for Slabtown Meadows proposes the creation of seven(7)single family home lots from the 7.41 acre parent parcel that is zone R-1 Residential. A considerable portion of the parent parcel is designated as stream buffer and floodplain,however there are approximately two acres of the parcel adjacent to Crozet Avenue that do not contain environmentally sensitive features and that can accommodate seven(7)building sites.' The letter further states: 'The proposed design has considerably less impervious surfaces when compared to a design that accommodates internal road infrastructure that would be required to provide a single point of access to the subdivision ...The design of the proposed I Engineering Review Comments Page 3 of 3 Slabtown Meadow will establish seven(7)by-right residential lots that effectively make use of the developable portions of the parent parcel while minimizing disturbance in areas designated as environmentally sensitive features and further respecting those environmentally sensitive features by minimizing the amount of impervious surface needed to access the proposed lots by designing them to be accessed by a series of shared driveways.' Engineering concurs. Further,shared driveway design and proposed development may meet stated goal of post-developed sheet flow of storm runoff as opposed to concentrated runoff anticipated with road construction,with typical storm runoff capture and conveyance. 30. Please clarify intent of showing a BFE line that varies from GIS limits of 100-yr floodplain. Ordinance keys to flood hazard overlay district visible as shaded linework(areas)in county GIS. It is unclear what is meant or proposed by including a solid dark line labeled BFE on C4. For example:Does this solid dark boundary originate with 2016 FEMA FIRMs? 31. A Floodplain Development Permit is required if improvements are proposed within the floodplain(sanitary sewer,for example,or grading to any extent). An approved FDP is required prior to final plat approval; please submit a FDP application at earliest convenience. Please feel free to call if any questions.

Just so everyone is aware,the DBIZ available to most County staff shows only the DBIZ resulting from the most extreme design storm—the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF),which is predicted to result from, in this case, 36.5 inches of rain in 24 hours.The analysis from which the PMF inundation zone is derived also produces inundation zones for other events that are smaller and more probable. More importantly,the development of the Chesterfield Landing subdivision changed the land contours such that the home that appears to lie within the DBIZ is actually entirely outside the DBIZ.The image below (from the two images attached prepared by Eric)shows both the 600 ft contour from 2013—that generally corresponds with the elevation of the DBIZ in this area—and the same contour after development.This lot(and other nearby lots)were filled in, pushing the boundary of the DBIZ away from the homes. In the overview image,you can see how the contours match outside the development but diverge around the development. My conclusion is that none of the homes lie within the DBIZ and the development has no affect on the hazard classification of the dams at Mint Springs.That said,we should be very careful about how we permit the two currently- proposed developments touching on the DBIZ. Let me know if this seems reasonable or if anyone has any questions.

The proposed subdivision is entirely within the boundaries of a dam break inundation zone,and the proposed subdivision is a"development"as defined in this chapter.The plat was sent to Justin Deel of DCR for review.The following are his review comments:"This parcel lies within the dam break inundation zone for the Mint Springs Park series of dams;therefore,DCR does not recommend permitting proposed development. Mint Springs is currently rated as a significant hazard dam. This rating does not appear to reflect recent downstream development,most notably Chesterfield Landing.Based on recent development, it is likely that the hazard classification for Mint Springs will need to be increased to High, therefore requiring it to have a higher spillway capacity.Further development within this dam break inundation zone would make this even more likely." Because DCR has made a determination that the spillway standards will be affected the subdivider(property owner)must submit with the fmal subdivision plat an Engineering Study and Mapping Information as described in Section 14-318(A)and Section 14- 318(B).1 11 Be advised that prior to fmal subdivision plat approval the requirements of Section 14-441 shall be applied.

Just so everyone is aware,the DBIZ available to most County staff shows only the DBIZ resulting from the most extreme design storm—the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF), which is predicted to result from, in this case, 36.5 inches of rain in 24 hours.The analysis from which the PMF inundation zone is derived also produces inundation zones for other events that are smaller and more probable. More importantly,the development of the Chesterfield Landing subdivision changed the land contours such that the home that appears to lie within the DBIZ is actually entirely outside the DBIZ.The image below(from the two images attached prepared by Eric)shows both the 600 ft contour from 2013—that generally corresponds with the elevation of the DBIZ in this area—and the same contour after development.This lot(and other nearby lots)were filled in, pushing the boundary of the DBIZ away from the homes. In the overview image,you can see how the contours match outside the development but diverge around the development. • My conclusion is that none of the hoiuie lie within the DBIZ and the development nas no affect on the hazard . classification of the dams at Mint Springs.That said,we should be very careful about how we permit the two currently- proposed developments touching on the DBIZ.

The proposed subdivision is entirely within the boundaries of a dam break inundation zone,and the proposed subdivision is a"development"as defined in this chapter.The plat was sent to Justin Deel of DCR for review. The following are his review comments: "This parcel lies within the dam break inundation zone for the Mint Springs Park series of dams;therefore, DCR does not recommend permitting proposed development. Mint Springs is currently rated as a significant hazard dam. This rating does not appear to reflect recent downstream development, most notably Chesterfield Landing.Based on recent development, it is likely that the hazard classification for Mint Springs will need to be increased to High, therefore requiring it to have a higher spillway capacity.Further development within this dam break inundation zone would make this even more likely." Because DCR has made a determination that the spillway standards will be affected the subdivider(property owner)must submit with the final subdivision plat an Engineering Study and Mapping Information as described in Section 14-318(A)and Section 14- 318(B).[1] Be advised that prior to fmal subdivision plat approval the requirements of Section 14-441 shall be applied. 3 [1] [14-318(A)]Engineering study.

I think the argument could be made that it should have been considered High in the previous study, prior to the developments. Certainly now,though. I have annual inspections as well as O&M certificate applications for these dams in my queue. I started with a huge backlog and unfortunately have not fully reviewed these yet.

I know the DBIZ was provided to me by our consultant in August 2014(that's the date of the final analysis) but I'm not sure when the DBIZ was forwarded to CDD.

Mint Springs is currently rated as a significant hazard dam.This rating does not appear to reflect recent downstream development, most notably Chesterfield Landing. Based on recent development, it is likely that the hazard classification for Mint Springs will need to be increased to High,therefore requiring it to have a higher spillway capacity.

Requirement for development in dam break inundation zones. A.For any development proposed within the boundaries of a dam break inundation zone that has been mapped in accordance with §10.1-606.2,the locality shall,as part of a preliminary plan review pursuant to§15.2-2260,or as part of a plan review pursuant to §15.2-2259 if no preliminary review has been conducted,(i)review the dam break inundation zone map on file with the locality for the affected impounding structure,(ii)notify the dam owner,and(iii)within 10 days forward a request to the Department of Conservation and Recreation to make a determination of the potential impacts of the proposed development on the spillway design flood standards required of the dam.The Department shall notify the dam owner and the locality of its determination within 45 days of the receipt of the request.Upon receipt of the Department's determination,the locality shall complete the review in accordance with§15.2-2259 or 15.2-2260.If a locality has not received a determination within 45 days of the Department's receipt of the request,the Department shall be deemed to have no comments,and the locality shall complete its review.Such inaction by the Department shall not affect the Board's authority to regulate the impounding structure in accordance with this article. If the Department determines that the plan of development would change the spillway design flood standards of the impounding structure,the locality shall not permit development as defined in§ 15.2-2201 or redevelopment in the dam break inundation zone unless the developer or subdivider agrees to alter the plan of development so that it does not alter the spillway design flood standard required of the impounding structure or he contributes payment to the necessary upgrades to the affected impounding structure pursuant to§ 15.2-2243.1. The developer or subdivider shall provide the dam owner and all affected localities with information necessary for the dam owner to update the dam break inundation zone map to reflect any new development within the dam break inundation zone following completion of the development. The requirements of this subsection shall not apply to any development proposed downstream of a dam for which a dam break inundation zone map is not on file with the locality as of the time of the official submission of a development plan to the locality. B.The locality is authorized to map the dam break inundation zone in accordance with criteria set out in the Virginia Impounding Structure Regulations(4VAC50-20)and recover the costs of such mapping from the owner of an impounding structure for which a dam break inundation zone map is not on file with the locality and a map has not been prepared by the impounding structure owner. C.This section shall not be construed to supersede or conflict with the authority granted to the Department of Mines,Minerals and Energy for the regulation of mineral extraction activities in the Commonwealth as set out in Title 45.1.Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to permit the impairment of a vested right in accordance with§15.2-2307. 2008,c.491.

Consider/discuss SWM water quality requirements,and how proposed subdivision proposes to meet requirements at 9VAC25-870-65. b. Consider and discuss concentrated roof leader line discharge,how this converts to sheet flow. c. Clarify that subdivision proposes forest/open space easement,to credit post-developed forest /open space land cover in VRRM.xls,and thereby reduce phosphorus reduction requirements. d. Submit WPO Application at earliest convenience. i. WPO plan must be approved prior to final subdivision plat approval. ii. FOS easement(if proposed)may be recorded with the final plat. iii. Ensure no fill within 100 yr-floodplain. iv. Ensure grading/proposed subdivision is consistent with permitted and prohibited uses and structures table(18-30.3.11). 2. Source of boundary and topography:Revise note to include survey date and name of the licensed professional;or a statement that topography data provided by the county was used. Also,field verification of topography within the last 12 months is required,if date of survey is not within the last 12 months. 3. Revise Floodzone Note to reference May 16,2016(FIRM),rather than Feb.04,2005(see 18-30.3.2). C2 4. Show Ex.tree line. 5. Label Lickinghole Creek. 6. Show Ex.OHP/overhead telephone. 7.

Provide existing and proposed spot elevations to aid review of improvements,FFE,etc.relative to Floodplain BFE. 16. Show and label existing San.Sewer improvements within Crozet Avenue public RW,if proposed 8"sewer pipe is to connect with an existing sanitary sewer within Crozet Ave.RW. C4 is ambiguous. It is unclear whether sanitary effluent is to route to Crozet Ave.,or to Ex.30'wide San.Easement on Lot 1. Please clarify sanitary sewer design. 17. Provide deed bk.-pg.ref.for existing sanitary and ACSA WL easement/s beyond public RW. 18. Provide note with final plat that no improvements may be constructed within floodplain or stream buffer(at County Engineer request,per ordinance). 19. Provide sanitary sewer profile. Ensure any portion of proposed sanitary sewer within floodplain is watertight,with lids elevated above base flood elevation per county/ACSA construction requirements. 20. 14-302.A.13:Stormwater Management Note indicates structural measures are required to convert post- developed concentrated runoff from impervious surfaces(roof leader lines,for example)to sheet flow. Revise plat to show/label proposed drainage and SWM facilities(level spreaders/riprap,for example),and related improvements. 21. With WPO Application,provide detail sufficient to demonstrate compliance with state SWM quality /quantity requirements. 22. Ensure revised preliminary plat meets 18-30.3 requirements for permissible use or activity within mapped floodplain. 23. Recommend revise sheet title to Site Layout since this is not a site plan. 24. Provide a grading plan. Grading plan must identify offsite borrow or waste areas. At a minimum,grading plan should include: a. Existing grade b. Proposed grade c. FFE,for each structure(single-family home) d. Basement floor elevation,each structure[see 14-302.B.9] e. Cut/fill balance,or narrative,to give preliminary indication of import/export. 25. Provide/label ACSA utility access easement. If ACSA utility access easement is across Lot 6,please label so that owner of Lot 6 is reasonably notified/able to anticipate movement of equipment across easement, across lot. 26. Shift location of structure on Lot 7 to provide minimal clearance,outside stream buffer and floodplain,to construct single-family dwelling. Location of structure on Lot 7 touching 100-yr floodplain and stream buffer cannot be approved;proposed location does not provide adequate area for construction,while simultaneously avoiding stream buffer/floodplain trespass. 27. Shift location of structure on Lot 6,for the same reason. 28. 14-302.A.9: Show/label location,area and dimensions of a building site on each proposed lot complying with the requirements of section 18-4.2. 29. Engineering has no objection to request for variation from Sec. 14-404(A). Letter d. 11/20/20 requests a variation from requirements of Section 14404(A),which requires a single point of access on the lot from one street,shared driveway,or alley established at the same time as the original subdivision. The letter request states: 'The subdivision plat for Slabtown Meadows proposes the creation of seven(7)single family home lots from the 7.41 acre parent parcel that is zone R-1 Residential. A considerable portion of the parent parcel is designated as stream buffer and floodplain,however there are approximately two acres of the parcel adjacent to Crozet Avenue that do not contain environmentally sensitive features and that can accommodate seven(7)building sites.' The letter further states: 'The proposed design has considerably less impervious surfaces when compared to a design that accommodates internal road infrastructure that would be required to provide a single point of access to the subdivision ...The design of the proposed • Engineering Review Comments Page 3 of 3 Slabtown Meadow will establish seven(7)by-right residential lots that effectively make use of the developable portions of the parent parcel while minimizing disturbance in areas designated as environmentally sensitive features and further respecting those environmentally sensitive features by minimizing the amount of impervious surface needed to access the proposed lots by designing them to be accessed by a series of shared driveways.' Engineering concurs. Further,shared driveway design and proposed development may meet stated goal of post-developed sheet flow of storm runoff as opposed to concentrated runoff anticipated with road construction,with typical storm runoff capture and conveyance.

Please provide feedback on this aspect of the request, as Supervisor Ann Mallek is interested in VDOT's review. Do you have any safety concerns with multiple entrances on the roadway? Kevin McDermott has provided the following comment on the item: "The additional of 4 new private driveways on Crozet Ave is not recommended and it is suggested you find an alternative method to provide access to the residences or reduce the number of units. Crozet Ave is two-lane, curvy, Minor Arterial, which carries approximately 8,000 vpd. Any new access point on this highway is going to introduce significant safety concerns and likely operational issues. Also, as the agent I will be considering the following when reviewing the waiver. After your review do you have anything to add that would provide some consideration of the following: (i) installing a single point of access would substantially impact environmental resources such as streams, 3 stream buffers, steep slopes, and floouplain; (ii) construction of a single point of access would substantially impact features existing on the property prior to October 14, 2009; (iii) granting the variation or exception would contribute to maintaining an agricultural or forestal use of the property; and (iv) granting the a variation or exception would facilitate development of areas identified in the open space plan as containing significant resources. OR Is there a finding that because of an unusual situation, the subdivider's substitution of a technique, design or materials of comparable quality from that required by the applicable regulation results in an improvement that substantially satisfies the overall purposes of this chapter in a manner equal to or exceeding the desired effects of the requirement in the applicable regulation.

I would like some guidance on whether or not Justin Shimp can apply for a Section 14-404 waiver on behalf of the property owner without the authorization of the owner.If memory serves me during the review of Montgomery Ridge variation request Tim Miller was not permitted to make an application to vary road standards without the owner agreeing to the request,in that case the owner was the HOA. Can you please weigh in on this aspect of the proposal.If this is not permitted what section of the ordinance do we need to reference?I believe we would reference Section 14-203.1,which states"subdivider",then we go to Section 14-103 definition of subdivider and we get "Subdivider. The term "subdivider"means one or more persons who own property to be subdivided, and his successors in interest." Please let me know if this still holds and is how we are interpreting this section.

The subdivision plat for Slabtown Meadow proposes the creation of seven(7)single family home lots from the 7.41 acre parent parcel that is zoned R-1 Residential.A considerable portion of the parent parcel is designated as stream buffer and floodplain,however there are approximately two acres of the parcel adjacent to Crozet Avenue that do not contain environmentally sensitive features and that can accommodate seven(7)building sites.The homes in the Slabtown Meadow subdivision are designed to be oriented towards Crozet Avenue where six of the lots would be accessed from three(3)separate shared driveways and one(1)of the lots would be accessed from a single driveway.The proposed design has considerably less impervious surfaces when compared to a design that accommodates internal road infrastructure that would be required to provide a single point of access to the subdivision.Although multiple points of access are proposed with multiple driveways,we have reduced the possible access points by arranging the lots so that six of them may be served by shared driveways. The design of the proposed Slabtown Meadow will establish seven(7)by-right residential lots that effectively make use of the developable portions of the parent parcel while minimizing disturbance in areas designated as environmentally sensitive features and further respecting those environmentally sensitive features by minimizing the amount of impervious surface needed to access the proposed lots by designing them to be accessed by a series of shared driveways.In your consideration of this request for variation from Section 14-404(A),please consider the following justification provided in accordance with Sec.14-203.1(B)2: As aforementioned,portions of the property are designated as stream buffer and floodplain, limiting the developable land that can be dedicated to home site and infrastructure improvements within Slabtown Meadow.If an internal road providing a single point of access to the subdivision were to be provided,a significant portion of the land that is developable would be dedicated to impervious surface to serve the internal road.The three shared driveways and one single 912 E High St Charlottesville,VA 22902 I 434 227.5140 I shimp-engineenng corn driveway that are proposed to serve the lots within Slabtown Meadow significantly reduce the amount of impervious surface necessary to provide access to the proposed lots. Further,the single point of access may be a requirement to limit potential conflict points on public streets and so although this proposal puts forth a total of four access points to serve seven total lots,there is significant property frontage along Crozet Avenue which allows for the proposed driveways to be spaced at a minimum, 185' apart.Additionally,the surrounding properties are largely built-out and so it is unlikely any additional access points will be provided on Crozet Ave in the immediate vicinity of this property. Thank you for your consideration of this variation request for the Slabtown Meadows subdivision. Regards, Justin Shimp,P.E. Shimp Engineering,P.C.

Further,the single point of access may be a requirement to limit potential conflict points on public streets and so although this proposal puts forth a total of four access points to serve seven total lots,there is significant property frontage along Crozet Avenue which allows for the proposed driveways to be spaced at a minimum, 185' apart.Additionally,the surrounding properties are largely built-out and so it is unlikely any additional access points will be provided on Crozet Ave in the immediate vicinity of this property. Thank you for your consideration of this variation request for the Slabtown Meadows subdivision. Regards, Justin Shimp,P.E. Shimp Engineering,P.C.

They also revised the plat to address all large design items mentioned in the letter. They have reduced the number of lots to 7 residential lots. With the revision they seek to take advantage of "Bonus Level"provisions with regard to minimum lot size under 30,000 SF, as proposed they seek lots of 21,000 -25,000 SF average lot size. Thus they are seeking a"Bonus Level Cluster Development". Is this permitted? As you know, the future land use map in the Comprehensive Plan designates this lot's land use as Greenspace, which does not provide for residential as a primary use. Section 2.4 states "The provision of bonus factors is intended to encourage development which reflects the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan. " Residential density bonuses are not available in areas where the Comprehensive Plan does not designate residential as a primary use. Residential density bonuses are not available for this parcel. The maximum number of residential units that will be allowed for this development will be those allowed for the R-1 zoning without the use of any bonuses. Reduce the number of residential units to 1 unit per acre. Thus I believe they must meet a minimum lot size of 30,000 SF permitted under"Standard Level Cluster Development" [Section 13.3 of the Zoning Ordinance]. Please weigh in on this.

Here is a LINK to the County's GIS map of the property. In the R-1 for bonus factors associated with a subdivision plat they are not permitted to go beyond 50%density with bonus factors. They are proposing 45%bonus density increase;however, Section 2.4 states: "... bonus factors are based on development standards as recommended by the comprehensive plan." This property's comp plan designation is Greenspace in Crozet. Thus it has no density associated with it in the Comp Plan. Can they utilize bonus factors for an increased density on this property with its Comp Plan designation? For Pleasant Green we enforced the Comp Plan density. Designated only up to 6 units/acre and the zoning was R6 and they wanted to do bonus factors,but couldn't because it would be over the density of the comp plan. So, with that same thinking,my view is that they wouldn't be eligible for the bonus. SRC for this item is on Dec 9t.

It now proposes only 7 lots,the subject property is TMP 56-38, and is zoned R-1. As before the development is completely located in the state dam break inundation zone for a County owned dam, Middle Mint Springs Dam and 3 other dams in Old Trail. Here is a LINK to the County's GIS map of the property. I have forwarded the revised plat to Justin Deel of DCR for his review of whether or not the proposal effects the dams' spillway design flood standards. Do you have any concerns or anything you would like me to be aware of for the review of the division?Greg,you are being made aware of this application because you represent the dam owner,The County,and may have some valuable comments or feedback to provide on this application. Here is a LINK to the plat. Additionally, I have attached the plat incase you have trouble accessing the link. Also,below is a quick blurb about the proposal. They have reduced the number of lots to 7 residential lots and removed the alley from the WPO buffer and the floodplain. With this new layout they have also submitted a Section 14-404 waiver to not access the lots through a single access point but instead through a series of individual and shared driveways directly off Crozet Avenue. Review comments are due January 4,2021. This is a SRC item.

He called me on Monday of this week and said he wanted to chat about it before he provided a written set of review comments. What we disused: 1)He says there are actually 4 dams total from this DBIZ: The County's Mint Springs dam, and 3 dams in Old Trail for 1 the golf course. 2) He will look into the spillway of the County's and comment on it. 3)The three dams in Old Trail did not file with DCR and never provided the required information/study for him to be able to review. Thus he doesn't believe these are within compliance, but he will look into this further. I told him if he needs to include that review in the comments please do so we are aware. 4) He said he will provide a written set of comments shortly. 5)He wanted to know what regs I am using to review site plans and subdivision plats related to DBIZ. So I sent him the sections of our code in those sections of the regs.

(including Andy Herrick for awareness) I have concerns and so I'll have to explore this further. It's possible the proposed project—due to the homes being within the inundation zone of the Mint Springs Dams—may push the hazard classification of the dams from "significant" to "high"—which may require the County to upgrade the Mint Springs Dams to withstand larger storms. If that's the case,the County could require the developer to pay for half the cost of the dam upgrades. (This is the entire purpose of having dam owners provide inundation zone maps to the locality ...to identify projects that may impose additional burdens on dam owners and to shift a portion of the cost to the developer of the project). This is my first case of this sort so I'm going to have to spend a little more time looking into the specifics.

Design Focused Engineering November 20,2020 Mr. Charles Rapp,Director of Planning County of Albemarle Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road,North Wing Charlottesville,Virginia 22902 RE: Slabtown Meadow(TMP 56-38) Request for Variation from Section 14-404(A) Dear Mr.Rapp, Pursuant to Section 14-404(B),the agent may vary or except the requirements of sections 14-404(A)of the Subdivision Ordinance which requires a single point of access on the lot from one street,shared driveway,or alley established at the same time as the original subdivision.The owner of tax parcel 56-38, a property that is the subject of a subdivision known as"Slabtown Meadow,"requests a variation from the requirements of Section 14-404(A). The subdivision plat for Slabtown Meadow proposes the creation of seven(7)single family home lots from the 7.41 acre parent parcel that is zoned R-1 Residential.A considerable portion of the parent parcel is designated as stream buffer and floodplain,however there are approximately two acres of the parcel adjacent to Crozet Avenue that do not contain environmentally sensitive features and that can accommodate seven(7)building sites.The homes in the Slabtown Meadow subdivision are designed to be oriented towards Crozet Avenue where six of the lots would be accessed from three(3)separate shared driveways and one(1)of the lots would be accessed from a single driveway.The proposed design has considerably less impervious surfaces when compared to a design that accommodates internal road infrastructure that would be required to provide a single point of access to the subdivision.Although multiple points of access are proposed with multiple driveways,we have reduced the possible access points by arranging the lots so that six of them may be served by shared driveways.The design of the proposed Slabtown Meadow will establish seven(7)by-right residential lots that effectively make use of the developable portions of the parent parcel while minimizing disturbance in areas designated as environmentally sensitive features and further respecting those environmentally sensitive features by minimizing the amount of impervious surface needed to access the proposed lots by designing them to be accessed by a series of shared driveways.In your consideration of this request for variation from Section 14-404(A),please consider the following justification provided in accordance with Sec.14-203.1(B)2: As aforementioned,portions of the property are designated as stream buffer and floodplain, limiting the developable land that can be dedicated to home site and infrastructure improvements within Slabtown Meadow.If an internal road providing a single point of access to the subdivision were to be provided,a significant portion of the land that is developable would be dedicated to impervious surface to serve the internal road.The three shared driveways and one single 912 E High St Charlottesville,VA 22902 1434.227 5140 I shimp-engineenng.com driveway that are proposed to serve the lots within Slabtown Meadow significantly reduce the amount of impervious surface necessary to provide access to the proposed lots. Further,the single point of access may be a requirement to limit potential conflict points on public streets and so although this proposal puts forth a total of four access points to serve seven total lots,there is significant property frontage along Crozet Avenue which allows for the proposed driveways to be spaced at a minimum, 185' apart.Additionally,the surrounding properties are largely built-out and so it is unlikely any additional access points will be provided on Crozet Ave in the immediate vicinity of this property. Thank you for your consideration of this variation request for the Slabtown Meadows subdivision. Regards, Justin Shimp,P.E. Shimp Engineering,P.C.

The comprehensive plan designates the parcel as greenspace; therefore, a density bonus would not be allowed. As you pointed out,there are concerns over stormwater management, stream buffers, setbacks and several other requirements that were not addressed. The subject property is also within the dam inundation zone and requires additional review to determine potential impacts of the proposed development. I've attached a copy of the letter that was sent to the applicant for reference. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Ann PROJECT LEAD REVIEWER: Christopher Perez cperez@albemarle.org PROJECT: SUB202000190 Slabtown Meadow-Preliminary Subdivision Plat—Digital MAGISTERIAL DISTRICT: White Hall TAX MAP/PARCEL:05600000003800 LOCATION:Vacant parcel fronting on Rte.240,Crozet Avenue across from the intersection of Davis Drive. PROPOSAL:Request for approval of 11 lots on 7.4 acres.Requests a cluster development that utilizes bonus density increases of 45%. ZONING:R-1 Residential- 1 unit/acre 1 ENTRANCE CORRIDOR: Yes PROFFERS:No OVERLAY DISTRICT: State dam break inundation zone,WPO buffer, Steep Slopes(managed&preserved),flood hazard overlay. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Greenspace—public parks,open space,environmental features. I have grave concerns about this proposal . This tiny lot (Anderson) is surrounded by streams and in the floodplain of Lickenhole Creek. It has been the illegal recipient of soil dumping monthly ever since the construction of the Crozet Library when Mark Graham gave approval for temporary storage. I have never been able to get anyone to get it removed or to stop the dumping for years to fill in the flood plain. Frank Pohl has said he did not have the authority. I do not understand how a 7 acre parcel which is zoned r 1 can provide any bonuses to get fifty percent increase in unit without rezoning. What possible benefits are provided to deserve bonus? I hope it is not street trees since they will bulldoze the forest to create room for their houses. Are the critical resources deducted from the available land, as well as the buffers and floodway protected? This is an essential lot for net density calculations due to the protection of the stream which flows directly from the expensive constructed wetland upstream to the downstream lickenhole basin and thus a direct shot to the Mechums and South Fork Reservoir. What are the notifications of neighbors in this case? Duane, were you notified? I am distressed that this is being handled out of sight and without even a zoom meeting to shine light on this project. Especially since there seems to have been a decision to keep it out of PC and bos process . Thank you for your update which I can share with the neighbors. All of us have driven this stretch of Crozet Ave and found the roadway underwater. We cannot pretend this is dry land. Thank you.

All of us have driven this stretch of Crozet Ave and found the roadway underwater. We cannot pretend this is dry land. Thank you.

(including Andy Herrick for awareness) I have concerns and so I'll have to explore this further. It's possible the proposed project—due to the homes being within the inundation zone of the Mint Springs Dams—may push the hazard classification of the dams from "significant" to "high"—which may require the County to upgrade the Mint Springs Dams to withstand larger storms. If that's the case,the County could require the developer to pay for half the cost of the dam upgrades.

[18-2.4,Comp Plan,32.5.2(A), 14-302(A)(8)]Bonus Factors. Residential density bonuses are not available for these parcels. The maximum number of residential units that will be allowed on for this development will be those allowed for the R-6 zoning without the use of any bonuses. Reduce the number of residential units to 6 units per acre. The Comp Plan does not designate residential as a primary use in Office/Research& Development(R&D)JFlex/Light Industrial areas. 2.4 states"The provision of bonus factors is intended to encourage development which reflects the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan. Residential density bonuses are not available in areas where the Comprehensive Plan does not designate residential as a primary use.

Here is a LINK to the County's GIS map of the property. In the R-1 for bonus factors associated with a subdivision plat they are not permitted to go beyond 50%density with bonus factors. They are proposing 45%bonus density increase;however, Section 2.4 states: "... bonus factors are based on development standards as recommended by the comprehensive plan." This property's comp plan designation is Greenspace in Crozet. Thus it has no density associated with it in the Comp Plan. Can they utilize bonus factors for an increased density on this property with its Comp Plan designation? For Pleasant Green we enforced the Comp Plan density. Designated only up to 6 units/acre and the zoning was R6 and they wanted to do bonus factors,but couldn't because it would be over the density of the comp plan. So, with that same thinking,my view is that they wouldn't be eligible for the bonus. SRC for this item is on Dec 9th. If you can provide me the decision before that it would be very helpful. thank you. Here is a LINK to the plat. Additionally, I have attached the plat incase you have trouble accessing the link.
