(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.] [14 -422] Sidewalks and planting strips. Provide planting strips and sidewalks on private roads. Sidewalks and planting strips for street trees and other vegetation shall be established on both sides of each new street within a subdivision creating lots for single family detached and single family attached dwellings in the development areas. This requirement can be varied or excepted by the commission as provided in section 14- 203.1. 2. [14- 302(8) 3 & 14 -409] Public areas, facilities or uses & Coordination. Park Ridge Drive should be extended through this parcel to connect to Hill Top Street. The Crozet Master Plan shows a connection at this location and code Section 14 -302 states that public streets within a subdivision shall be coordinated as to location, width, grades and drainage with other public streets. Adjacent Tax Map Parcel 56A2 -4 -A2 is to be dedicated to public use for roadway the extension upon request by the County. [Comment] The preliminary plat for Foothills Crossing I shows two roads intersecting with the shown segment of Park Ridge Drive. Phase IV shows a connector road (four way intersection) and Phase VI shows Road A (three way intersection). Road A is directly east of the boundary line with Foothills Crossing 11. The proposed intersection just west of the property line would be too close to Road A. 4. [14.401] Proposed facilities. Show the locations of proposed on street parking. Parking calculations will need to be provided on final plat. 5. [14.401] Double frontage lots. Lots J, K, L are double frontage lots because they have less than 20 feet of common area between the rear of the lot and the second street and have a depth of less than 350 feet. Double frontage lots are prohibited. Amend layout to eliminate the double frontage lots. This requirement can be varied or excepted by the agent as provided in section 14- 203.1. 6. [2.2.3] Cluster Development — Open Space. Show square footage or acreage of open space segments on plat and provide calculations to show that 25% open space requirement is met for each zoning district. Open space does not need to be located entirely within each zoning district, but calculations should be provided to show that requirements are met for both R -2 and R -6 zoning districts. 7. [14- 302(A) 8] Proposed lots. Proposed density does not match proposed lots shown on layout plan. 12 townhouse blocks are shown with 61 future townhouse lots. Density note indicates 15 townhomes /single family attached units. Correct density note or provide clarification. 8. [14 -406 & 14- 302(A) 9] Remnants & Building sites on proposed lots. Lots labeled "reserved for future development" are remnants that do not appear to have building sites. Remnants are not permitted. You can eliminate remnants by changing the proposed layout or through a boundary line adjustment. 9. [Comment] The note on sheet 1 under building sites states that each parcel is assigned one development right. Development rights do not exist in the development areas. Please delete this note. The table on sheet 3 lists development rights for each block. Please amend table to show number of future lots rather than development rights for each block. 10. [14- 302(A) 41 Private easements. State ownership of private roads and private alleys. 11. [14- 302(A) 41 Private easements. Is the existing 20' ROW easement to be vacated? If so, indicate this on the plat. 12. [14- 302(A) 5] Public easements. A public road is shown extending on to Tax Map Parcel 56 -5713. This property owner will need to be party to the public road easement. 13. [14 -409] Continuation and extension of streets. Extend Maryland Street all the way to the property line if possible. If not, reserve remaining portion between street and property line for future public use. 14. [Comment] Label street between block A and block B. 15. [14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. Submit with the final plat an instrument assuring the perpetual maintenance of the private streets and alleys, street trees, open space and any other improvements that are to be maintained in perpetuity. 16. [14 -311] Infrastructure improvement plans. Road plans are required with submittal of final plat and must be approved prior to approval of final plat. 17. [14- 302(A) 7] Existing and departing lot lines. It appears Tax Map Parcel 56 -52 being vacated but property lines are still shown on plat. Provide a label if these lines are to show zoning boundary lines rather than property lines. 18. [14 -312] Location of existing buildings. Show location of all existing buildings within fifty feet of lot lines on final plat.
