The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the Final Plat 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.]
Conditions of Preliminary Plat Approval (from approval letter dated 10/19/12):
[14- 302(A)8] Proposed lots. Revise the minimum development density note to indicate 75 dwelling units,
not 74.
Final Plat: The tables on Sheet V2 should be updated to include only what is currently proposed in
Blocks 7 and 9 versus what was proposed for the entire Phase II. Be sure to include the minimum
and maximum number of carriage house units proposed in each block. See #4 below for additional
revisions to Tables 1 & 2.
Rev1: Comment addressed. However, based on the numbers provided, the minimum number of
dwelling units will not be met in Block 7 or Block 9; a variation must be submitted and approved
prior to approval of the last final plat for these blocks if the total number of dwelling units remains
below the minimum approved in the Code of Development.
2. [14- 302(B)8] Yards. Show both the minimum and maximum front setbacks on all lots. Lots 177 -181 are
missing the 16' maximum setback line.
Final Plat: Clarify setback requirements by revising any setback currently listed for `Lot 187' to be
applicable to `any lot over 60' wide'.
Revl : Comment not fully addressed. There is still one reference to `Lot 187' under primary structure
side setback; please replace with `any lot over 60' wide'.
3. [Code of Development] & [14- 302(A)14] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved. Update Table 4 to
reflect the changes to all green space and amenities requirements as approved with Variation #45. This
shall include the following:
a) The 0.07 acre reduction of 'Park E', now 0.53 acres.
b) The 1.15 acre reduction of 'Park G', now 0.75 acres.
c) The 1.26 acre addition to `Open Space Block 9', now 1.76 acres.
d) The 0.02 acre increase in the `Block 9, Preservation Easement' conservation area, now 0.09
acres.
e) The 0.17 acres increase in the `Block 9, Preservation Easement' preservation area, now 0.8
acres.
f) The updated Table 4 showing only the changes listed above must be provided as part of an
updated Belvedere Code of Development and Application Plan reflecting all variations approved
since February 2, 2010 (the latest Code revision date) comprehensively prior to Final Plat
approval.
g) Prior to final subdivision plat approval for Belvedere Phase 2, a landscape plan must be
provided for the required amenity areas shown on the general development plan and described
in the code of development. The plan must show the minimum features as required by the
Belvedere Code of Development for Parks E (Dabney Park) and G (Griffen Park).
Final Plat: The updated Code of Development as described in "f" above is currently under review;
comments will be provided when the review is complete. Update Table 4 on the Cover Sheet to
include the changes (noted above) approved with Variation #45; these updates should be shown in
the `Approved with Rezoning' columns. Additionally, revise the information provided in both the
Area Calculations and in Table 4 (under `Proposed with Phase II') to include only the open space
areas that are included in this phase. The column heading should be revised to say `Proposed with
Phase IIA -1'. Both the notes and the Table include open space areas that do not appear to be
included in this phase.
Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. The (revised) updated Code of Development as described in
'If,, above is currently under review; comments will be provided when the review is complete. There
are still several discrepancies /inaccuracies in Table 4 and the notes, a meeting may be the most
efficient way to resolve these issues. Please contact me to schedule a meeting.
4. [Code of Development] Correct the table provided to track minimum and maximum residential densities
and unit types to reflect the accurate number of SFA and Apts /MF in Block 2. The table currently indicates
25 SFA and 296 Apts /MF, but the maximum SFA for this block is 19. Per a Zoning determination dated
February 8, 2011, six (6) units within Buildings 12 and 13 in The Reserve at Belvedere are considered
multifamily dwellings units for zoning purposes. Therefore, these figures should be revised to 19 SFA and
302 Apts /MF.
Final Plat: Comment not addressed; revise the `Actual to Date', `Total Platted /Proposed', and `Total
Remaining' columns on Sheet V2 to show the requested changes.
Rev1: Comment arldrecced.
