Re: SDP200800092 — Fontaine Townhomes Minor Amendments TMP# 76 — 12A
The Planner for the Zoning and Current Development Division of the Albemarle County Department of
Community Development will recommend approval of the minor site plan amendment referred to above
when the following items have been satisfactorily addressed. There are several inconsistencies with the
approved application plan included in ZMA 2004 -002 and the approved site plan SDP 2005- 00124(The
following comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions
may be added or eliminated bases upon further review.)
Square footages of open space, impervious surface and recreational area do not agree with
previous approvals:
Approved Currently shown
Open Space 8.9 acres 8.2 acres
Impervious Surface 3.7 acres 3.8 acres
Recreational Area 1.0 acres 0.5 acres
These areas were previously approved and require a variation request and approval prior to
approval of the minor amendment to the site plan.
2. The "hammer- head" turn around on Morey Court and the parking shown on the north side of
Morey Court currently shown are inconsistent with previously approved plans and require
variation requests and approvals prior to approval of the minor site plan amendment.
3. The rear access to the townhomes either side of Morey Pond Court requires a variation request
and approval prior to approval of the minor site plan amendment.
4. You may wish to verify the necessity of the "hammer- head" on the south side of Morey Pond
Court with the Fire & Rescue Department if you will have circulation around the buildings.
Final tentative approval will be subject to the completion of these comments. If I may be of further
assistance, please don't hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
J. Patrick Lawrence, Planner
