All housing types are found in this category, including single family detached, townhouses, and apartments. Please provide more information about what unit types are proposed in these areas. Rev1: Consider concentrating higher density units in areas designated for urban density. Response: R-6, the proposed zoning district, does not allow densities greater than 6 units per acre. Townhouses and villas will be incorporated, as appropriate, during the site plan review of the project. Rev1: Consider adding a note to the plan or a proffer stating internal streets will be interconnected and cul-de-sacs will only be used where interconnections are not possible. Response: Note has been added to the plan (note#13). Rev1: Consider adding a front setback for front loaded garages that is several feet behind the primary residence for single family units. Response: A note has been added to the application plan (note#12) addressing the front setbacks for front loaded garages. Rev1: Please include a "general accord" proffer within the proffer statement indicating you are proffering the plan and the important elements as noted above and shown or noted on the plan. Response: General accord language is included on the first page of the proffers. Other important elements, such as roads, trails, civic space and pedestrian tunnel, are covered in specific proffers. Density maximum is driven by the proposed zoning. Provide an exhibit to demonstrate that 35 units can be achieved with the by-right development of the property. Rev1: Provide lot sizes and exhibit to scale so dimensions can be checked. If bonus factors are being used in calculation, list these on exhibit. 321 East Main Street, Suite 400 Charlottesville, VA 22902 T 434.951.5700 F 434.81 7.0977 williamsmullen.comj A Professional Corporation July 18, 2016 Page 2 Response: By-right exhibit is included with this submittal. I. Rev1 new comment: Note 3 on the concept plan states that all trees and sidewalks shall be maintained by the HOA. Is this intended to state all trees and sidewalks located outside of the VDOT right-of-way shall be maintained bye HOA? Response: Yes. Note has been updated. Housing Comments In the preamble the applicant indicates that they would meet the affordable housing proffers through construction or cash. The last sentence should probably read..."as more particularly described in Sections 6A, 6B, and 6C." Response: Proffers have been updated with this suggested change. In 6.A., the applicant may want to indicate that the index used to determine affordability is 65% of VHDA's Maximum Sales Price for first-time homebuyer programs. Currently, $243,750 or .65 of$375,000. Response: This information has not been included in the proffers, as the index could change in the future.

For the purposes of this Proffer 5, the number of units allowed by right under the R-1 Residential zoning is thirty five (35) single-family detached units. A "market rate" unit is any single-family detached unit in the Project that is not either a For-Sale Affordable Housing Unit or For -Rent Affordable Unit as described in Proffer 6.

C. Cash in lieu of Constructing Affordable Dwelling Units. In lieu of constructing For-Sale, or For-Rent Affordable Dwelling Units for fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of Units, the Owner has the option to make a cash contribution to Albemarle County for the affordable housing program in the amount of Twenty-Four Thousand and Three Hundred Seventy Five Dollars ($24,375.00) (the "Affordable Housing Cash Proffer") for each such unit. The total cash contribution due to Albemarle County as noted above shall be based on the total number of affordable units built in the Project. 7. Cost Index. Beginning January 1 of each year following the approval of this rezoning, the amount of each cash contribution required by Proffers 5 and 6 shall be adjusted annually until paid,to reflect any increase or decrease for the proceeding calendar year in the Marshall and Swift Building Cost Index ("MSI"). The annual adjustment shall be made by multiplying the proffered cash contribution amount due for the preceding year by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the MSI as of December 1 in the preceding calendar year, the denominator of which shall be the MSI as of December 1 in the year preceding the calendar year most recently ended (the "Annual Percentage Change"). By way of example, the first annual adjustment shall be Four Thousand Nine Hundred and Eighteen Dollars ($4,918.00) x 2017 MSI/2016 MSI. Each annual adjustment shall be based on the amount of the proffered cash contribution due for the immediately preceding year based on the formula contained in this Proffer 7 (the amount derived from such formula shall be referred to hereinafter as the"Cash Contribution Due"), provided, however, in no event shall the cash contribution amount paid by the Owner be less than Four Thousand Nine Hundred and Eighteen Dollars ($4,918.00) per single family detached dwelling unit and Three Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty Five Dollars ($3,845.00) per single family attached dwelling unit and Five Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty Two Dollars ($5,262.00) per multifamily dwelling unit under Proffer 5 or Twenty-Four Thousand and Three Hundred Seventy Five Dollars ($24,375.00) per affordable dwelling unit under Proffer 6 (the "Minimum Cash Contribution"). The Annual Percentage Change shall be calculated each year using the Cash Contribution Due, even though it may be less than the Minimum Cash Contribution, HOWEVER,the amount paid by the Owner shall not be less than the Minimum Cash Contribution. For each cash contribution that is being paid in increments,the unpaid incremental payments shall be correspondingly adjusted each year. The undersigned Owner hereby proffers that the use and development of the Property shall be in conformance with the proffers and conditions herein above, and these proffers shall supersede all other proffers and conditions made prior hereto. This Proffer Statement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
