Collins Engineering 200 Garrett St. Suite K Charlottesville, VA 22902 RE: SUB- 201100126 Foothills Crossing — Preliminary Plat Mr. Collins: The Department of Community Development hereby grants administrative approval to the above referenced preliminary subdivision plat. The preliminary plat is valid for five (5) years from the date it is approved, pursuant to Section 14 -228 of Chapter 14 of the Albemarle County Code, provided that the subdivider submits a final plat for all or a portion of the property within one (1) year (March 8, 2013) of the approval as provided in section 14 -221, and thereafter diligently pursues approval of the final plat. After three (3) years (March 8, 2015) following preliminary plat approval, the agent may, after ninety (90) days' written notice provided by certified mail to the subdivider, revoke the approval upon a specific finding of facts that the subdivider failed to diligently pursue approval of the final plat. The failure to officially submit a final plat as provided in section 14 -221 within the one (1) year period shall render the approval of the preliminary plat null and a new application must be filed and processed. Please address all of the requirements and conditions listed below and submit eight (8) tentative plat copies to the Department of Community Development. This letter must be submitted with the tentative plats, as a checklist, to document that you have addressed all requirements or conditions, or the tentative plat will be denied. Erosion and Sediment Control, BMP Stormwater Management, and road plans with the associated applications and fees must also be submitted with the eight (8) tentative Plats. Once the tentative plat is submitted and reviewed, you will receive comments from all departments /divisions /agencies that have made comment on the tentative plat. Any further responses must be made directly to each department /division /agency that has further comment. After all aforementioned departments /divisions /agencies have granted a tentative approval, you must verify with the Planner that you may submit the final plat mylar or other media original and any remaining fees to the Department of Community Development. Assuming that the final plat reflects all tentative approvals, signing of the plat will occur within four days. The final plat will be subject to all final plat requirements (Subdivision Ordinance Section 14.206), in addition to the following conditions. The Department of Community Development shall not accept submittal of the final plat for signature until tentative approvals for the following conditions have been obtained. The final plat shall not be signed until the following conditions are met: Plannine approval to include: ❑ [14- 302(A)8] Proposed lots. Provide dimensions for all boundary lines of each lot, including frontage on any proposed street. Some dimensions are still missing; all boundary line dimensions must be provided on the final plat. ❑ [14- 302(A)9] Building sites on proposed lots. Note #4 indicates each lot has a building site that meets the requirements of 4.2.2.2; however, this section of code does not exist. Please remove note #4 as a separate note indicates each lot has a building site that meets the requirements of section 4.2.1, which is the correct reference. Also, the `typical' building site diagram provided does not indicate the minimum size. From the dimensions indicated, the minimum size should be provided as 5625 SF; please add this information to the final plat. ❑ [14- 302(A)14] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved. Provide the location, acreage, and current owner of all land intended to be dedicated in fee or reserved for public use, or to be reserved in a deed for the common use of lot owners in the subdivision. For this project, any such land should be labeled `Common Area and Common Open Space'. It has been communicated through email that the area labeled `Residue Parcel' is intended to be open space for the benefit of the lot owners in the subdivision. This area should be labeled as indicated above and the acreage should be included in the open space calculations. This `lot' should also be removed from the proposed density listing and calculation. ❑ [14- 302(B)1] General information. Please provide the north point and scale on all necessary sheets. Assuming the same sheets are used for the Final Plat; add a north point to Sheet 4 and a graphic scale to Sheet 6. ❑ [14- 302(B)3] Public areas, facilities or uses. Indicate the location of all areas shown on the comprehensive plan as proposed sites for public areas, facilities or uses which are located wholly or in part within the property. The Crozet Master Plan designates that the 50' Greenway Trail Area should be extended between Phases 1 & 2, running perpendicular on both sides of Park Ridge Drive through `Common Area and Common Open Space #3 & #4'; please indicate these areas on the Final Plat. All Greenway Trail Areas should be labeled "50' Greenway Trail Area - Reserved for dedication upon demand of the County ". ❑ [14- 302(B)8] Yards. Revise the setbacks /yards for all corner lots to indicate the correct front and side setbacks (see 4.6.2(b)). All corner lots must have a setback of 25' on all portions that front a public road (both `fronts') and a side setback of 15' on all boundary lines that intersect a public road. ❑ [4.6.1(c)] Frontage and lot width measurements. Revise the setback/yard lines shown to establish the depth of all front and rear yards to where the minimum lot width is achievable. It appears that lots 3, 5, 6, & 22 do not have the rear setback lines established where the minimum lot width is achievable; please revise accordingly. Similarly, it appears that lots 29, 30, 31, 51, 52, 53, 54, 78, 79, 80, 81, & 82 do not have the front setback lines established where the minimum lot width is achievable; please revise. ❑ [14 -401] Double frontage lots. Double frontage lots for single family detached and attached residential uses are prohibited. The prohibition of double frontage lots may be waived as provided in section 14- 224.1. Double frontage lots, if the waiver request is approved, shall be screened as provided in section 14 -419. Lots 33 -40 now meet the defmition of a double frontage lot due to the reduction of the common area between these lots and the Connector Road to 18'. Increase the common area to 20', or apply for a waiver of this requirement and provide the specified screening. 2 ❑ [13.3] Area and bulk regulations. The density cannot exceed 1.11 DU /AC. Once the `residue parcel' is removed from the density calculation, the density should be approvable; please verify. ❑ [13.4.1] Environmental standards. To achieve the 10% bonus density for preserving 20% or more in wooded areas, no preservation area can extend into individual lots. All areas meant to be preserved must also be free of utility access and maintenance easements. Woodland Preservation Areas must be removed from all building lots and Areas F, K, & J must be pulled back to the edge of the proposed SWM easement. Also remove the `SWM Facility' label from Woodland Preservation Area L. To qualify for this bonus, provide an updated tabulation of Woodland Preservation Area after removing the above noted areas. A conservation plan as specified in section 32.7.9 including a conservation plan checklist is also required. If 20% preservation is not achievable, the density allowed /proposed must change accordingly. ❑ [2.2.3] Minimum open space required. If the open space from Phase 1 is being counted toward the minimum open space requirement, please provide the Tax Map and Parcel number of that parcel (056KO- 00- 00- 000AO) in the listing of subdivision Tax Map and Parcel Numbers. ❑ [Comment] Any reference to the original Tax Map and Parcel number for this property (TMP 56 -95) should be replaced with the current reference (056K0- 00- 00- 00OA1). ❑ [Comment] Please revise the Road Sections to show a 4' sidewalk instead of a 4" sidewalk. Please also revise the sidewalk detail to say `Variable Width, Minimum 4 feet'. En2ineerin approval to include: ❑ Each Phase will have to be designed with temporary cul -de -sacs beginning outside the phase line so the homes can be constructed as shown in each phase. ❑ Temporary cul -de -sacs will be designed per VDOT requirements and shown on the site plan. ❑ VDOT approval is required. Please contact Max Greene at 296 -5832 ext. 3283 if you have questions or require additional information. Albemarle County Service Authority approval to include: • Note on cover sheet: All easements are to be centered on the as -built locations for water and sewer utilities. • Note on cover sheet that water and sewer easements will not be dedicated to public use. Please contact Alexander Morrison at 977 -4511 ext. 116 if you have questions or require additional information. Fire & Rescue approval to include: ❑ Hydrant spacing required to be no more than 500 feet per travelway. Please contact Robbie Gilmer at 296 -5833 if you have questions or require additional information. VDOT approval to include: ❑ VDOT original comment number 20 indicated that all proposed roads would have to have adequate width to provide parking on both sides of the street. The typical section for Road A, B, C and D are required to be a minimum of 29 feet from face of curb to face of curb in accordance with the VDOT Road Design Manual, Appendix B(1) -7. This change in road width will need to be corrected in the road plan and final plat for these subdivision roads to be accepted into the state maintenance system. Please contact Joel DeNunzio at 589 -5871 if you have questions or require additional information. Office of Facilities Development approval to include: ❑ [14 -409 & 14- 410]The horizontal and vertical alignment of the final design plans for the "Connector Road ", as depicted on the Foothill Crossing Preliminary Subdivision Plat" Sheet 7 - revised 02- 21 -12, shall take into account the County's "Eastern Avenue Conceptual Plan & Profile" (09- 12 -08) and the alignment constraints on the future extension of Eastern Avenue to the south of this project. These constraints include the relationship and grading impacts to the adjacent Westhall lots, the future intersection elevations for road extensions /connections from the adjacent Westhall development, and the vertical alignment through the future Lickinghole Creek bridge. To account for these constraints the vertical curves (VC #2 through #6) in the "Conceptual Plan & Profile" had to be linked (i.e. tangent = 0) with little tolerance for vertical changes. The most critical design point was the vertical curve (VC #6) where the Foothill Crossing's "Connector Road" would connect to the future Eastern Avenue and continue southward. Please contact Jack Kelsey at 872 -4501 ext. 3376 if you have questions or require additional information. E911 approval to include: ❑ The applicant should contact this office with a list of three (3) road names for each of the following: 'Road A', 'Road B', 'Road C', 'Road D', and 'Road E'. Please contact Andy Slack at 296 -5832 ext. 3384 if you have questions or require additional information.
