RE: SDP - 2012 -046 and SUB2012 -091- Cascadia Blocks 4 -7- Preliminary Site Plan and Preliminary
Subdivision Plat
Mr. Myers:
The Department of Community Development hereby grants administrative approval to the above
referenced site plan.
The approval of the preliminary site plan is valid for (1) one year in accordance with Section 32.4.3.1 of
Chapter 18 of the Albemarle County Code. Therefore, the preliminary approval shall expire on March
20, 2014. If the preliminary site plan approval expires, a new application must be filed and processed.
The approval of the preliminary subdivision plat is valid for (5) five years in accordance with Section 14-
228 of Chapter 14 of the Albemarle County Code, provided that the subdivider submits a final plat for all
or a portion of the property within (1) one year of the approval as provided in section 14 -221, and
thereafter diligently pursues approval of the final plat. Therefore, the preliminary approval shall expire
on March 20, 2014. If the preliminary plat approval expires, a new application must be filed and
processed.
Please address all of the requirements and conditions listed below and submit eight (8) tentative plan
copies to the Department of Community Development. This letter must be submitted with the tentative
plans, as a checklist, to document that you have addressed all requirements or conditions, or the
tentative plan will be denied.
Erosion and Sediment Control, BMP Stormwater Management, and road plans with the associated
applications and fees must also be submitted with the eight (8) tentative Plans.
Once the tentative plan is submitted and reviewed you will receive comments from all
departments /divisions /agencies that have made comment on the tentative plan. Any further
responses must be made directly to each department /division /agency that has further comment.
After all aforementioned departments /divisions /agencies have granted a tentative approval, you
must verify with the Planner that you may submit the final mylars (2 sets), two paper copies, the final
site plan application, and final site plan fee to the Department of Community Development. Signing
of the plans will occur within one week once it is determined that the final site plan mylars reflect all
tentative approvals.
The final site plan will be subject to all final site plan requirements (Zoning Ordinance Section 32.6), in
addition to the following conditions.
The Department of Community Development shall not accept submittal of the final site plan for
signature until tentative approvals for the following conditions have been obtained:
Planning approval to include:
❑ Meet all the requirements in Chapter 18 Section 32 for final site plans, including landscape
plans, and lighting plans.
❑ Meet all the requirements in Chapter 14 for final subdivision plats.
❑ Approval of the variation request dated January 28, 2013 by the Board of Supervisors.
Please contact Megan Yaniglos at 296 -5832 if you have questions or require additional information.
Engineering approval to include:
❑ The plan must meet all engineering requirements of the Water Protection, Subdivision, and
Zoning Ordinances in addition to all engineering standards detailed in the County's Design
Manual.
❑ See attached comments for approval of the plat.
Please contact Michael Koslow at 296 -5832 if you have questions or require additional information.
VDOT approval to include:
❑ Provide traffic projections. Approval of road sections will be dependent on traffic data.
❑ UD -4s are required for roads with ADT> 1000.
❑ There should be a minimum of 1 ft of r/w behind sidewalk.
❑ Pipes passing in and out of roadway should be avoided. Proposed drainage line on u -curve
section on Delphi Lane could be brought to opposite side of road or radial pipes could be used
to avoid passing under pavement.
❑ The use of roll top curbs is not recommended on Oval Park and Flat Waters Ln. If the use of
roll top curb is pursued, a special design entrance gutter shall be submitted for approval
where roll top curb is used (VDOT Road Design Manual F -81). A detail of the entrance
transitions as well as transitions around Dls will be necessary. Drainage calculations much
show that drop inlets are spaced so that the 10 year storm frequency does not exceed
water depths of 4" at the face of curb. (Road Design Manual Appendix B1)
❑ No on- street parking situations where sidewalk is placed adjacent to the back of curb
require the submission of a Design Waiver for no buffer strip (See IIM -LD -227). (Road
Design Manual A -119)
Please contact Joel DeNunzio at 434 - 422 -9373 if you have questions or require additional information.
Zoning approval to include:
❑ I remain concerned about the 30' vegetative buffer area and retaining wall between Cascadia
and Fontana as shown on Sheet PS10. The final plans will have to address the requirements of
pages 24 and 25 of the code of development:
• While retaining walls are allowed, those over 6' must be approved by the Director of
Community Development and meet the standards set out in the code.
• Grading in the 30' buffer with Fontana is permitted, however the 20' screening strip
requirements must be addressed.
Please contact Rebecca Ragsdale at 296 -5832 if you have questions or require additional information.
Fire & Rescue approval to include:
❑ Must comply with the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code. Final approval is subject to field
inspection and verification.
❑ Streets 29 ft in width shall be marked No Parking on one side to maintain the 20 ft unobstructed
travel lanes.
Please contact Robbie Gilmer at 296 -5833 if you have questions or require additional information.
ARB approval to include:
❑ Parcels 62 -25, 78 -59, 78E -H, and 78E -H1 fall within the Route 20 Entrance Corridor. Proposed
development on these parcels is subject to ARB review /approval, with the exception of single
family residences.
❑ Parcel 78 -59A does not lie within the Entrance Corridor overlay district. Proposed development
on this parcel does not require ARB review /approval.
❑ For those areas subject to ARB review /approval, ARB approval is required prior to final site plan
approval. ARB applications, checklists and guidelines are available on -line at
www.albemarle.org /ARB.
❑ When an ARB application is made, it would be helpful to include a plan that overlays the parcel
lines on the block plan for easier identification of areas subject to review.
Please contact Margaret Malisewski at 296 -5832 if you have questions or require additional
information.

The preliminary subdivision plat has been reviewed. Please address the following comments for
preliminary plat approval:
1. Recommend including all proposed easements for this property (A.C. 14- 302.5) including
proffered 30 foot wide easement that will allow Broadus Baptist Church to construct a driveway
(ZMA2002 -00004 proffer #3).
(Rev]) Please identify proposed access easement instead of Lot 90 for proffered access to
Broadus Baptist Church.
2. Recommend including apparent property line for KMH Properties (TMP78 -57A) west of Delphi
Drive as shown on sheet PS5.
(Rev-1) Comment remains.
3. Recommend including proffered Twenty feet of property adjacent to Route 20 to be dedicated to
public use for future potential intersection improvements per proffer #2 (ZMA2002- 00004).
(Rev]) Comment remains.
4. While the county acknowledges approval of a critical slopes waiver request for this project,
please indicate critical slope areas on all preliminary plat sheets for reference.
(Rev]) Comment remains. Please use a unique pattern which can be easily distinguished from
the existing and proposed contours. Three dimensional appearing areas as shown on the plans
are difficult to quantify.
S. (Rev]) Please show existing topography for a minimum of 50' beyond proposed grading tie -in
point with existing contours. Plan indicates proposed grading for Blocks 1 -3 on sheets PS6,
PS7, PS8, PSII, and PSI2. Proposed grading limits for this phase is unclear. If intent is early
grading for these Blocks during this phase, please provide match line references and do not
indicate proposed roads or drainage (other than continuation of pipes from Blocks 4 -7) for this
phase.
6. (Rev]) Recommend indicating `future subdivisions "for Blocks 1 -3 on this plat. Preliminary
plat appears to indicate subdivision of Blocks 1 -3 is also proposed with this phase.

Please address the following comments for final plat approval:
Before final plat approval, engineering will need to approve detailed plans, computations, and
necessary supporting documents for all physical improvements including, but not limited to,
a. road plans
b. drainage plans and computations,
c. erosion and sediment control plan
d. stormwater management plans and computations (A.C. 14 -311).
e. proffered overlot grading plan (ZMA2002 -00004 proffer #5)
2. All physical improvements for access and utilities will need to be constructed and approved or
bonded prior to final plat approval. (A.C. 14 -434 and 435).
Current Development Engineering is available from 2:30 -4 PM on Thursdays to discuss these review
comments. Please contact Michael Koslow at 434 - 296 -5832 ext. 3297 or email mkoslowkalbemarle.org
