Jefferson St. Charlottesville, VA 22902 RE: Request dated August 6, 2009 regarding a variation in the site development plan from the approved application plan for the University Village Retirement Community (ZMA -77 19) Dear Mr. Collins: The County has received your variation request referenced above. You propose "to modify the alignment of the entrance road such that it can connect to the existing Boulders Road located to the south" and a stub out of Boulders Road Extension to the west that would allow it to ultimately be extended to U.S. 29 in accordance with concepts that have been recommended as part of the proposed Places 29 Master Plan. This proposal varies from the road design and location shown on the approved application plan which provided access from U.S. 29 in a location different than proposed in Places 29 and a stub out of the road to the south in a location that would be offset from the existing Boulders Road. This change will also result in a modification of the application plan for the location of the entrance road to University Village and the location of two residential clusters within University Village. This letter serves to provide approval to the variation in keeping with the depictions on SDP 2009 -033 University Village Retirement Community (Phase 1) -Final and the attached application.
