Kirsten,
Following up on questions raised at the SRC meeting, and related to the question of whether recreation is
required, we had some internal conversations about how you need to show proposed development for the
townhouses:
The Kirk Hughes plat for the overall subdivision shows the area for the townhouses as proposed lots. The
approved road plans are for all of the proposed roads and the trail. Therefore, your plans need to be approached
as a "drop -in" to the overall subdivision, rather than an all- inclusive site plan within "project limits."
Please revise the plans so that the site plan is clearly just for the townhouses and related improvements within the
lots created by the overall subdivision. Your plans should not depict road plans or trail plans as an "active" part of
the townhouse site plan, as they have already been approved; but you may reference those plans with a note or
callout or show them in greyline.
From a zoning perspective, in order to meet the density requirements of the R -4 district, you must show this site
plan as part of the overall subdivision. Otherwise, the density will be at 17.5 (as noted on the last version
submitted) and that is not allowable. So, please show the townhouses as a "drop -in" to the subdivision, and be
sure to update ALL data and land use schedules to reflect the density related to the overall project and such.
This approach will clear up the confusion and allow the site plan to fit in seamlessly with the subdivision and
approved road plans.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Gerald Gatobu is the planner working on the subdivision, and he
is also available to answer any questions you have (ggatobu @albemarle.org)
Also, as a reminder, SRC revisions are due July 13th. If you cannot resubmit and meet all comments by then, you
may request an indefinite deferral, which would be valid for 6 months.
Thank you,
Elizabeth M. Marotta
