Department of Community Development
Memorandum
To: Megan Yaniglos, Current Development Planning
From: Michelle Roberge, Current Development Engineering Review
Date: 7 January 2014
Subject: Rivanna Village (ZMA201300012) private road request
I reviewed the request for Cattail Court as a private road and recommend approval per
§14-233, "[w]hen private streets in development areas may be authorized" and per §14-
234(2).
§14-233.A.1 (ii) The subdivision design would allow it to better achieve the density goals of the
comprehensive plan;
Townhomes are proposed instead of single family dwellings. Overall, this area helps achieve
density goals.
§14-233.B.1 Subdivision containing attached dwelling units or non-residential uses. The proposed private
street(s) would be in a subdivision containing attached dwelling units or non-residential uses where the
units, groups of units, or non-residential uses are to be located on individual lots.
Cattail Court is suitable to serve as a frontage road for 40 townhomes. Therefore, this
satisfies this section of the ordinance. The private street will be in a subdivision containing
attached dwellings where units will be on individual lots.
Criteria from §14-234(C)
The proposal meets the requirements of items 1-5.
Please note the road standards for a private street can be found in §14-412(b), [p]rivate streets in
the development areas.
