County of Albemarle
Department of Community Development
Memorandum
To: Judy Wiegand, Senior Planner
From: Glenn Brooks, County Engineer
Date: 13 Aug 2010
Subject: Hollymead Town Center area A2 amendment (ZMA201000006)
The proposed amendment to the rezoning plan has been reviewed. There are no objections to the overall
layout with regard to engineering. Some detail points that may need clarification or revision are;
The proposed future connector road has already been approved in the previous location on another
rezoning plan and site plan for Willow Glen. The previous location is shaded in red below. From
a county engineering standpoint it does not matter which location is used, but all the plans should
reflect the change. A plan was not found for stormwater management in this location, only for
erosion control, which is substantially complete. So, aside from a savings in earthwork at the new
location, it is not clear what the overall impacts might be.
2. The road through the development, a continuation of Lockwood Drive, which defines the blocks,
should not have perpendicular parking, if it is to maintain any integrity as a road. It is already
largely a parking lot travelway, functioning as the end - aisles for the parking rows, but placing
perpendicular parking on it will likely render it useless for through travel. As a through -road
location it is preferable to Abington Drive, which has already been rendered useless as a through -
road in the Abington Place development. The small parking area boxed in red below should be
relocated, or made parallel parking on the travelway /road.
