COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE
Department of Community Development
MEMORANDUM
TO: Megan Yaniglos
FROM: Claudette Grant
DATE: October 6, 2009
Rev]: November 6, 2009
RE: SDP2009- 076 \Old Trail Village Phase 9 (Blocks 4, 11, 13, 14)
Preliminary
The subject submittal has been reviewed and the following comments need to be
addressed:
1) Per the Code of Development (COD) it does not appear that office use is an
allowable use in Block 14; however, the cover sheet describes this as a use in
Block 14.
Rev]: Comment addressed.
2) The building relationship between Blocks 4 and 11 needs to be addressed. The
buildings in Block 4 face the street, which is good, but they are also facing the
sides of the buildings in Block 11. The face or front of the buildings should relate
to each other.
Rev]: Comment addressed.
3) Are the interior buildings in Blocks 11 and 13 facing a green area? Per the COD,
buildings should face a green or road, and relate to each other.
Rev]: Comment addressed.
4) Parking areas in Blocks 13 and 14 do not seem to be relegated. Is there a street
wall or treatment that will help to screen these areas? Per the COD parking should
be relegated.
Rev]: Comment addressed.
5) It seems that the spatial enclosure needs to be corrected/adjusted for Blocks 14,
13, and 4.
Revl: Comment not completely addressed. It does not appear as if the apartment
building in Block 13 meets the spatial enclosure requirements.
6) What is the corner treatment for Blocks 13 (Golf Drive and Fielding Run Drive),
Block 14 (Upland Drive and Fielding Run Drive; Upland Drive and Claremont
Lane)?
Rev]: Comment addressed.
7) It appears that there may be site distance issues in Block 11.
Rev]: Comment addressed.
8) Setbacks do not seem to be consistent with the requirements in the COD. Check
to make sure the correct setbacks are being used for each of these blocks.
Revl: It is difficult to see some of the setback lines on sheet 3 because there
are a lot of lines. It appears some of the front setbacks in Blocks 13 and 14
might be slightly off.
9) A landscape plan is not typically required during this preliminary site plan stage;
however, one would be helpful in order to see things such as the corner treatment,
screening of parking areas, and green areas.
Rev]: Comment addressed.
10) Make sure retail uses are phased as specified in the proffers.
Rev]: Comment addressed.
11) Make sure there are accommodations for pocket parks. See page 21 of the COD.
Rev]: Comment addressed.
12) Revl: It appears a variation may be needed for changes to right of way
widths.
13) Revl: Is there enough parking? It does not appear that there is enough parking.
