COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road, Room 227 Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 -4596 Phone (434) 296 -5832 Fax (434) 972 -4126 February 3, 2010 Mr. Frank Stoner Stonehaus Development 2421 Ivy Road Charlottesville, VA 22903 RE: ZMA 07 -04 Belvedere Variation Requests dated November 23, 2009, updated December 18, 2009, January 13, 2010, and January 20, 2010 and Elevations dated 2 -10 -10 Dear Frank: The variation requests in conjunction with SDP 2009 -97 which were submitted on the dates referenced above are as follows: 26. Modification of Tables 1 and 2 in the Code of Development showing minimum and maximum units by block and residential density. 27. Replace the central part of Block 2 with an apartment complex. Block 2 on the approved General Development Plan has a mixture of housing types. 28. Move the neighborhood center to the corner of Belvedere Blvd. in Block 2 from a more central location. 29. Move the detention pond from where it is shown on -line in a stream to an area near the same location that is not on the stream. 30. Provide small units facing Belvedere Blvd. to block the view of the parking lot. 31. Provide diagonal parking spaces in front of a portion of the units. 32. Eliminate road C shown on the General Development Plan but provide sidewalks to connect both sides of the development. 33. Change the streets in this section of Block 2 from public to private streets. 34. Change description of Block 2 on page 7 of the Code to coincide with other changes. Variation request 26 was granted on January 20, but is included in this letter. The approved changes to Tables 1 and 2 are shown below: BELUFDERE MAXIMUM RESIDENTIAL DENSITIES BLOCK GROUP BLOCK TABLE 2 MINIMUM RESIDENTIAL DENSITIES TABLE 1 AREA (AC) SFA /TH GROUP CARRIAGE HOUSE UNITS MAXIMUM RESIDENTIAL DENSITIES DENSITY 1 15.08 CARRIAGE 0 0.0 2 26.83 APARTMENTS/ 218 233 8.7 3 SFD SFA /TH HOUSE, TOTAL DENSITY 2.4 4 16,68 28 Mr 20 63 3.8 5 6.86 29 UNITS 15 44 1 15.08 9.32 29 20 20 1.3 2 26.83 7 18 294 319 11.9 3 12.48 22 24 11 33 2,6 4 16.68 30 25 26 81 4.9 5 6.86 31 50 24 55 8.0 6 9.32 1 30 9 30 27 66 7.1 7 8.72 30 32 62 7.1 8 7.9 27 9 26 62 7.8 9 9,41 25 25 2.7 10 93.4 52 52 0.6 TOTAL 206.68 254 61 314 146 775 3.7 :.Arr X.. ;E.:::Ef IiV .lJ Sl lE p 1`]VI RQ v..

The section of the General Development Plan for Belvedere that is modified is in Attachment B. The Director of Planning has granted these variations because: 1) The variations are consistent with the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan. The proposed variations support the Neighborhood Model in retaining a mixture of housing types and in keeping an overall design of development that promotes a pedestrian orientation, 2) The variations do not increase the approved development density or intensity of development. The density in Block 2 will change; but, the overall density of the entire development will not change. 3) The variations do not adversely affect the timing and phasing of development of any other development in the zoning district. The variations will not adversely affect the timing and phasing of development or any other development in the zoning district. 4) The variations do not require a special use permit. The variations do not require a special use permit. 5) The variations are in general accord with the purpose and intent of the approved rezoning application. Variation requests 26, 27, and 28 relate to the design, layout, and building types in Block 2 which are different than those shown on the General Development Plan. The proposed changes are not viewed as detrimental to the overall development because Blocks 1 and 2 will still have a mix of unit types as well as commercial uses that are pedestrian oriented. A general layout for Block 2B has been provided to show how a mixture of housing types can be achieved in Block 2B. This layout is shown in Attachment C. In addition, individual retaining walls generally will not exceed 6 feet in height. Where walls are over 6 feet, it is for a short distance and the height is diminishing away from the tallest part of the wall An important feature of the approved General Development Plan was the "face to the street" to be shown by buildings which front Belvedere Blvd. in Blocks 1 and 2. The elevations dated 2 -1 -10 (Attachment D) show the necessary architectural features needed to create a consistent face to the street. Variation 29 is approved because the location is near the location shown on the General Development Plan and the stormwater facility concept approved with the rezoning no longer conforms to state and federal regulations. The stormwater facility shown on SDP 09 -97 is moved off -line of the stream will now conform with state and federal regulations while not impacting the overall design expectations for the development Variation 30 is approved because it provides a way to relegate parking as well as add a different housing type in the apartment complex. The elevations dated 1 -28 -10 show that similar architectural treatments will be used along Belvedere Blvd. The elevations also demonstrate that these "townhouse looking" units can contribute toward provision of a consistent "face to the street ". Variation 31 is granted because a strip of land containing a sidewalk and street trees is sufficiently wide to provide for a streetscape in front of the buildings. Variation 32 is approved because interconnections between Block 2 and Block 2B, as shown conceptually in Attachment C, will be retained. Variation 33 is approved because it is not essential that streets within the apartment complex designed for Block 2A provide for public access and a connection is made to Block 2B. Private streets in Block 2B are not approved with this variation. Variation 34 is approved as a change to the Code to coincide with the variation to the Plan. The variations granted in this letter apply to SDP 09 -97 plan dated 11- 23 -09. Please provide final building elevations with the site plan for which signatures are requested. And also, please provide a signature block for the Planning Division on that final site plan mylar. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or need additional information.
