I have reviewed the concept plan for the application noted above and offer the following comments for the
applicant. The comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments may be added
or eliminated based on further review.
1. [Comment] The guest parking spaces are clustered in front of lot 6 to 9 only. It is also difficult to turn into
the first parking space. The parking layout can be spread out and improved by showing 8' wide parallel
parking on the north and south side of the community lawn.
2. [Comment] The one way road should be 20' wide, at a minimum, to allow for fire truck access. To keep the
20' wide road uniform throughout the site, the entrance needs to be revised. One recommendation is to
show a 45' wide entrance with a 6' median to separate the ingress and egress. See attached drawing.
3. [Comment] There appears to be a utility box near lot 13 which is visible from the road. Please address how
conceptual grading will be affected.
4. [Comment] It appears that the grading for lots 6 -9 drain west. To avoid any runoff to existing neigbors
located west of site, please revise grading to drain east towards Old Brook Rd. The conceptual grading also
results in steep driveways for lots 7 -8 which will need to be revised.
5. [Comment] Also, note that for final site plan, yard inlets behind lots 1 -6 and 9 -13 will work well for the site.
The conceptual grading should show positive drainage towards sag yard inlets and not away from site or
down steep slopes.
6. [Comment] It appears the illustrative plan does not match the conceptual grading plan (Sheet 6 of 7).
Please make conceptual grading consistent on all plans.
Please contact Michelle Roberge in the Engineering Dept at mroberge(@albemarle.org or 434 - 296 -5832 ext.
