Please note that all nine conditions, as well as any additional staff and agency comments, must be met prior to final site plan approval of Phase 3. Zoning and Current Development comments are as follows: [32.5.6.b, c] Is the 6' asphalt trail part of Phase 3? If so, please revise all phase lines to include it, and be sure to include it in the open space/land use calculations. If it is not to be part of Phase 3, be sure that all open space/land use calculation do not include that area, and, that all limits of clearing /grading do not include the trail. As drawn now, it appears the trail is not part of phase 3 (per sheet C4A), yet a construction directions are provided in this set of plans (sheet C -9, for example). Also, please address tree preservation hatch falls over the trail in Inset on Sheet C -9 (thus inside limits of CG). 2. [32.5.6.b] Thank you for revising the site data chart to more clearly show how Phases 2 and 3 compare to the approved preliminary. There are still some discrepancies /issues I would like you to address: • Please provide a written explanation as to why overall, phases 2 +3 are providing 8 more units than were approved with the preliminary. • Please confirm that the overall density is less than 6.0. • Why was the "area in parking and circulation" column removed? • Why are the impervious area calcs significantly different than on the last submittal? • The areas stating in the table for impervious area and area of open space do not match the figures provided under Site Data notes above it. • Why are the estimated traffic generation numbers significantly less on this submittal than the last submittal? 3. [32.5.6.p] Why was the mature tree height column removed? It is not required for approval, however it was helpful on the last submittal. 4. [32.5.6.p] The conservation plan checklist signed and provided on the landscape plan is dated October 2008. This plan has been revised since 10 -2008 and it would be prudent to provide an updated signed conservation checklist. 5. [32.6.6.g] Parking spaces must be a minimum of 9' wide at the narrowest point. For this reason, please revise the dimensions (particularly the radial parking space dimensions) to read, "9' min., typ." I see where this revision was made in some places, however please ensure that this note is provided wherever radial parking is provided (sheet C -6, for example). 6. [32.6.4.1] Final plan approval is subject to the issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Architectural Review Board (ARB). 7. Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) approval is required prior to final plan approval. ACSA is working with you directly towards tentative approval, however, also please be aware that Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority (RWSA) is reviewing the plans and will be issuing their comments to ACSA. 8. Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) approval required prior to final plan approval. 9. Per our telephone conversation, you will be providing me a copy of the updated agreement between North Pantops Townhouses LLC, Southern Development, Westminster- Canterbury of the Blue Ridge and the Westminster- Canterbury of the Blue Ridge Residents' Association for the purposes of addressing the changes in the plan since the original agreement was executed in October 2006. 10. The final site plan is required to return for review and approval by the Planning Commission. Once all comments are addressed, this item will be scheduled for the Planning Commission. Please be aware that the Commission may require justification from you addressing the relocation of the recreation area, changing the open space recreation area to a tennis court, the re- orientation of the lots and product change, and moving of the streets and parking changes.
