From: Ellie Ray, PLA, Senior Planner

Date: March 21, 2013
Subject: SUB 2013— 00030 Westlake Hills — Phase I Road Plans
Fax 434 - 972 -4126
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the Road Plans referenced above once
the following comments have been satisfactorily addressed (The following comments are those that have been
identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.):
[Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision /Zoning Ordinances unless
otherwise specified.]
1. [Comment] This application was not submitted for subdivision plat review; comments provided are for
Road Plans only. However, for future reference, it does appear that the number of Phase I lots noted
exceeds the allowable density.
2. [13.4.1] Environmental standards. Street trees are required to be shown on the road plans for this
development to meet the bonus factor approved with the preliminary plat that allowed for a smaller minimum
lot size and a smaller frontage requirement. It appears that many of the proposed tree locations have
conflicts with proposed utilities; these conflicts should be resolved before the plan is approved.
3. [14- 302(A)9 & Condition of Preliminary Approval] Building sites on proposed lots. The Board of
Supervisors approved a critical slope waiver request for this subdivision. An overlot grading plan must be
submitted as a condition of approval of this waiver.
4. [14- 302(8)3 & Condition of Preliminary Approval] Public areas, facilities or uses. Coordinate with the
Department of Parks and Recreation to establish the exact location of the greenway area and any other
facilities as noted in the Comprehensive Plan. Please refer to comments provided by Parks during
preliminary plat review.
5. [Comment] The plant count provided for Thuja occidentalis appears to be incorrect; please verify and
revise.
6. [Comment] This subdivision is not subject to the tree canopy requirement. The adjoining property owners
and future residents of Westlake will benefit from as much tree canopy and existing tree preservation as
possible, but the requirement listed on the landscape plan isn't applicable to this application.
