Commissioner February 7, 2014 Ms. Sarah Baldwin Senior Planner Albemarle County Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Re: SDP - 2014 -60 Willow Glen Dear Ms. Baldwin: We have reviewed the Minor Site Plan Amendment for Willow Glen, Phase 2 dated January 21, 2014 as submitted by Steve Edwards and offer the following comments: 1. Good access management practice minimizes the number of entrances on any given roadway. We would recommend that the single family lots along Heathrow Glen Circle continue to use shared entrances. Where possible, it would be good practice for the townhouse units to use shared entrances as well. 2. The entrance shown to Lot 40 is very close to the intersection of Heathrow Glen Circle and Shannon Glen Court. It may prove difficult for a vehicle traveling from Shannon Glen Court to this parcel to make this turning movement without crossing into the opposing lane. 3. Storm sewer should cross the public roads perpendicularly. An additional structure may be needed near the property line between Lots 741 and 74J to allow the storm sewer to cross Prestwick Glen Drive perpendicularly. 4. It is unclear to us whether the road plans and /or site plan for this development have previously been approved. Please advise to the status of prior approvals. If you need additional infonnation concerning this project, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, t Troy Austin, P.E..
