To: Roudabush, Gale & Associates (cmulligan(a- )roudabush.com)
From: Ellie Ray, CLA, Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: April 22, 2014
Subject: SDP 201400024 Avon Park II — Initial Site Development Plan
Fax 434 - 972 -4126
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plan 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.]
1. [Comment] This application was reviewed against Site Development Plan requirements only. It appears
that lot lines, road standards, etc are shown on the plan, but no subdivision application was submitted. Any
subdivision related comments are provided for reference only (unless necessary for site plan approval), and
to convey the issues that will arise when /if a subdivision plat is submitted.
2. [Comment] Note all existing features /structures that are to be removed on the existing conditions plan.
3. [32.5.2(a)] Revise the Zoning note to say Planned Residential Development, not district.
4. [32.5.2(a)] Revise the Sheet title for Sheet 10 in the index to say "Landscape Plan ", not "Land Slope Plan ".
5. [32.5.2(b) & Application Plan] There are a few issues with the parking schedule and the parking provided.
First, units 11 -23 require 26 parking spaces, not 14 as noted in the schedule; please revise. Second, lots 8-
10 and 24 -26 each require 12 spaces (3.5 spaces per unit, plus 1 space per four units for guest parking),
not 10.5 as noted; revise the schedule and provide one additional parking space. Third, if driveway surface
parking on lots 1 -7 and 11 -23 is being used to meet the parking requirement, the driveways should be
shown on the site plan. Finally, VDOT must approve all on- street parking on public streets.
6. [32.5.2(b) & Application Plan] The parking layout as proposed is not approvable as there is no adequate
access and /or turn - around area for many of the spaces. These spaces must be redesigned so that they can
be accessed from the proper driving direction and so cars can leave the spaces safely.
7. [32.5.2(b)] Provide the maximum amount of impervious cover on the site.
8. [32.5.2(d)] The critical slope ordinance was recently amended for the Development Areas. A small area of
"managed steep slopes" is present on the site; show and label this area. The note on the cover sheet
stating no critical slopes are present should also be revised.
9. [32.5.2(1)] This plan proposes a private street. While streets (public or private) are not reviewed or
approved with site plan applications, it should be noted that a private street request must be submitted
when /if a subdivision application is submitted. This private street request can be reviewed administratively
due to the presence of attached dwellings. A maintenance agreement for the private street must be
submitted for review and approval by the County Attorney's Office with the subdivision application.
10. [32.5.2(1)] All portions of the private street should be included in the private street right -of -way including
turnarounds. Setbacks are taken from this line; correct the setbacks on lots 1 and 5.
11. [32.5.2(1)] The sidewalk easement should be labeled as 'sidewalk easement', not `access easement'.
When subdivided, a maintenance agreement for any sidewalks outside of the public right -of -way must be
submitted for review and approval by the County Attorney's Office.
12. [32.5.2(1)] An alley is defined in the Albemarle Subdivision Ordinance as the following, "The term "alley"
means a form of vehicular travelway providing access to the rear and /or side lot line of abutting properties
which front along streets." The `Alley' as shown on this plan is really a portion of the private street, please
revise.
13. [32.5.2(1)] The street name provided for the private street is not an approved name; see E911 comments
for additional information.
14. [32.5.2(1)] The right -of -way line for the proposed extension of Hathway Street is incomplete; please clarify.
15. [32.5.20)] Label the proposed water line.
16. [32.5.20,11k,l)] Verify that the location(s) and dimensions of all existing or proposed utilities and utility
easements including water, sewer, drainage, telephone, cable, electric and gas are shown on the plan.
Label any existing easements with the Deed Book and Page Number.
17. [32.5.2(n)] Provide the maximum footprint for all proposed buildings.
18. [32.5.2(n) & Application Plan] The approved Application Plan shows sidewalks behind units 8 -10 and 24-
26 to provide access to the basement unit; provide these sidewalks.
19. [32.5.2(n)] There appear to be possible lighting conflicts with utilities and landscaping; verify that no site
conflicts exist. Additionally, a complete lighting plan including photometric information, a luminaire
schedule, and cutsheet(s) must be submitted for review with the Final Site Plan.
20. [32.5.2(n)] The approved Application Plan indicated the shelter provided in the open space would have
lighting; this lighting must be included in the lighting plan mentioned above.
21. [32.5.2(n)] One proposed street light looks to be located within lot 24. When /if a subdivision application is
submitted, an easement will be required.
22. [32.5.2(n) and 4.16.2] List the amenities that will be provided in the tot lot.
23. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.4] Any required landscaping (site plan or application plan requirements) proposed on
individual lots will require an easement when /if a subdivision application is submitted. A maintenance
agreement for all required landscaping (including all street trees) must also be submitted for review and
approval by the County Attorney's Office at that time.
24. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.4] Verify that no conflicts exist between landscaping, utilities, utility easements and
lighting.
25. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.4(a)] The size of all proposed plant materials should be provided to ensure minimum
size requirements are satisfied.
26. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.4(b)] Existing trees may be preserved in lieu of planting new plant materials in order to
satisfy the landscaping and screening requirements of section 32.7.9, subject to the agent's approval. If you
intend to use existing trees to satisfy any of the landscape plan requirements, please include the following:
1. Areas and other features shown on landscape plan. The landscape plan shall show the trees to be
preserved, the limits of clearing, the location and type of protective fencing, grade changes requiring
tree wells or walls, and trenching or tunneling proposed beyond the limits of clearing.
2. Conservation checklist. The applicant shall complete and sign a conservation checklist approved by
the agent to ensure that the specified trees will be protected during construction. Except as
otherwise expressly approved by the agent in a particular case, the checklist shall conform to the
specifications in the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook, pages III -393 through III -413,
and as hereafter amended. This checklist must be included in the plan set.
27. [32.5.2(p), 32.7.9.5 & Application Plan] The street trees provided along Avon Street technically meet the
street tree requirement, but more plantings are shown on the approved Application Plan. Landscaping more
closely resembling the approved plan should be provided. ARB may also have additional requirements.
28. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.5] The street trees provided along Hathaway Street do not meet the street tree
requirement. Nine trees are required, but it looks like only seven have been provided. It also appears that
at least one tree is proposed within the site distance areas; VDOT may not allow this placement.
29. [32.5.2(p), 32.7.9.7 & Application Plan] Several areas of landscaping shown on the approved Application
Plan have not been provided with this proposal. The landscape features shown on the Application Plan
were resolved through many discussions with the neighbors, Commission and Board members; the
following landscape areas /features must be provided:
I. Shrub planting along the NW side of Lot 1.
II. Shrub planting along the NW side of Hathaway Street near the connection to Avon Park I.
III. Since very few, if any, trees will be maintained along the border with Avon Park I, additional
evergreen trees should be provided (a double- staggered row will provide better buffering).
IV. Additional shrubs along the backs of Lots 14 -16 as well as along the side of Lot 16.
V. Landscaping along path to recreation area.
VI. Protection of existing trees as depicted on the Application Plan; area shown should extend further
toward Avon Street, and an additional area along the side and behind Lot 16 should be provided.
VII. Additional landscaping along Avon Street as noted above.
30. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.7] Proposed SWM Facility should be screened from the adjacent public right -of -way.
31. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.8] In order to satisfy the tree canopy requirement the area(s) of saved trees must be
documented as noted above (conservation plan and checklist), and the canopy provided by all proposed
plantings must be included in a landscape schedule.
32. [32.5.2(p)] Some of the proposed plantings appear to be within existing or proposed easements; show all
easements on the landscape plan, verify location of plantings, and either move all landscaping outside of
easements or provide proof of authorization from the easement holder.
33. [32.5.2(r)] Provide a legend showing all symbols and abbreviations used on the plan.
34. [Comment] If any off -site easements are required, they must be approved and recorded prior to Site Plan
approval. Among possible others, it appears easement(s) may be required for grading, utilities and offsite
road connection.
35. [Proffer #1 & 2] Note the six Affordable Dwelling Units. When subdivided, the Declaration of Covenants for
Avon Park 2 shall contain the following language for the 6 affordable units: "The townhouse /accessory
apartment units on lots 8, 9, 10, 24, 25, and 26 within Avon Park 2 are constructed and must be maintained
as two - family dwelling units as defined in the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code."
36. [Proffer #4] Proffer #4 Erosion and Sediment Control must be satisfied prior to Final Site Plan approval.
37. [Proffer #6] Proffer #6 Overlot Grading must be satisfied prior to Final Site Plan approval.
38. [Comment] Whether Arden Drive was close to being taken into the state road system was a much
discussed topic during the rezoning process, please clarify the status of this road.

Reviewer: Michelle Roberge
Engineering has completed the review of application SDP201400024.
A. Site Development Plan (SDP201400024)
1) All topography should be field verified by designer within the last year. Please note on plan.
2) All existing easements shall be shown with deed book and page number.
3) There appears to be "managed slopes" on site. Please show and label on plans.
4) There are areas with 2:1 slope. Provide low maintenance (not grass) ground cover and specify on
plan.
5) The existing driveway was recommended during ZMA review to remain and to serve as the
maintenance access road for the SWM facility, but VDOT approval is still required.
6) Provide standard CG -9 concrete driveway aprons for each unit.
7) We recommend that Arden Drive, through which this development must access, is completed prior
to the approval of this SDP application. The county was forced to call the bonds to finish Arden
Drive. This process is still ongoing. Please clarify status of road improvements.
8) Per ZMA2012 -04, improvements for the drainage system along Avon St Ext. were shown since
the existing ditch line and culverts were most likely not adequate for additional drainage. Also, an
existing culvert, south of proposed culvert, was shown to be removed and replaced. Please show
on plans.
9) ZMA2012 -04 also stated that a full MS -19 will be addressed at the SDP phase. This can be shown
on a WPO application.
10) Shift tree within sight distance near lot 4.
11) Label all curbing with a VDOT designation.
12) Provide road plans and road profiles with the subdivision application.
13) Label radius on street. For example, label curb radius near parallel parking on street.
14) It appears that the alley is not long enough to provide frontage access to lots 16 and 19. Please
address. I recommend extending road south to property line.
15) Please revise alley to be a private road. An alley is a secondary access to lots with frontage along a
public or private street.
16) Lots 8 -10 and 24 -26 with parallel parking spaces will not work. It will be difficult for vehicles to
turnaround. Please address.
17) Please show 10' travel lanes for Stratford Way and alley, which should be revised to a private
Engineering Review Comments
Page 2 of 2
road.
18) Show underdrains for private roads' pavement section.
19) The turnaround should not encroach on bldg line for lots 1 and 5. Also, it has been found in other
developments that these turnarounds were converted to personal driveways. A cul -de -sac may be
better suited in these areas.
20) Provide street signs and traffic control signs.
21) Shift inlet behind lot 21 to be located behind lot 22 and include swale in easement.
22) Tying 688 contour to exiting contour behind lot 6 will not work. Please revise.
23) Address Proffer 4 on WPO plan prior to the approval of the final site plan.
24) To address overlot grading, please show grading around each lot. The plan provided only shows a
conceptual plan for each lot.
25) Please address 30.7.5(c)(1) and (2) for proposed steep slopes.
26) Obtain grading easements for off -site areas.

Michelle Roberge

Re: SDP - 2014 -00024 Avon Park II - Initial Site Plan
Dear Ms. Ray:
We have reviewed the preliminary site plan for Avon Park II dated March 10, 2014 as submitted by
Roudabush, Gale & Associates, Inc. and offer the following comments:
1. The pavement design calculations need to be submitted for review.
2. The storm sewer calculations need to be submitted for review.
3. The road profiles need to be added to the plan.
4. The 6 parking spaces shown on the south end of Hathaway Street do not appear to function.
Vehicles parked in the 3 spaces on the west side of Hathaway Street will have to back against the
flow of Hathaway to exit the spaces, and there is not a reasonable way for a vehicle to access the
3 spaces on the east side of Hathaway Street.
5. In order for the entirety of Hathaway to be accepted into the secondary road system, there needs
to be an adequate turn around within dedicated right -of -way.
6. The street parking on both sides of Hathaway Street north of Stratford Way interferes with the
intersection sight distance for Stratford Way.
7. To be accepted in to the secondary system, sidewalks along the back of curb and gutter must be 8
feet wide instead of 5 feet wide.
8. The typical section needs to indicate that the 21A is extended 1 foot beyond the back of curb.
9. In accordance with Appendix B of the Road Design Manual, all street trees should be located a
minimum of 30 feet from the radii at each intersection.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
III

The ARB recommends that the ARB forward the following recommendations to the Agent for the Site Review
Committee:
-Regarding requirements to satisfy the design guidelines:
oAs per § 18- 30.6.4(2), (3) and (5) and Guideline #20, the biofilter has the appearance of an engineered structure
and it is not fully integrated into the landscape.
-Regarding recommendations on the plan as it relates to the guidelines: None.
-Regarding recommended conditions of initial plan approval:
oA Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval.
oRevise the design of the stormwater facility to eliminate the engineered appearance and to make it an integrated
landscape element.
-Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit:
oProvide a conservation checklist on the plan.
oShow tree protection fencing on the plan.

Engineering has completed the review of application SDP201400024.
A. Site Development Plan (SDP201400024)
1) All topography should be field verified by designer within the last year. Please note on plan.
2) All existing easements shall be shown with deed book and page number.
3) There appears to be "managed slopes" on site. Please show and label on plans.
4) There are areas with 2:1 slope. Provide low maintenance (not grass) ground cover and specify on
plan.
5) The existing driveway was recommended during ZMA review to remain and to serve as the
maintenance access road for the SWM facility, but VDOT approval is still required.
6) Provide standard CG -9 concrete driveway aprons for each unit.
7) We recommend that Arden Drive, through which this development must access, is completed prior
to the approval of this SDP application. The county was forced to call the bonds to finish Arden
Drive. This process is still ongoing. Please clarify status of road improvements.
8) Per ZMA2012 -04, improvements for the drainage system along Avon St Ext. were shown since
the existing ditch line and culverts were most likely not adequate for additional drainage. Also, an
existing culvert, south of proposed culvert, was shown to be removed and replaced. Please show
on plans.
9) ZMA2012 -04 also stated that a full MS -19 will be addressed at the SDP phase. This can be shown
on a WPO application.
10) Shift tree within sight distance near lot 4.
11) Label all curbing with a VDOT designation.
12) Provide road plans and road profiles with the subdivision application.
13) Label radius on street. For example, label curb radius near parallel parking on street.
14) It appears that the alley is not long enough to provide frontage access to lots 16 and 19. Please
address. I recommend extending road south to property line.
15) Please revise alley to be a private road. An alley is a secondary access to lots with frontage along a
public or private street.
16) Lots 8 -10 and 24 -26 with parallel parking spaces will not work. It will be difficult for vehicles to
turnaround. Please address.
17) Please show 10' travel lanes for Stratford Way and alley, which should be revised to a private

road.
18) Show underdrains for private roads' pavement section.
19) The turnaround should not encroach on bldg line for lots 1 and 5. Also, it has been found in other
developments that these turnarounds were converted to personal driveways. A cul -de -sac may be
better suited in these areas.
20) Provide street signs and traffic control signs.
21) Shift inlet behind lot 21 to be located behind lot 22 and include swale in easement.
22) Tying 688 contour to exiting contour behind lot 6 will not work. Please revise.
23) Address Proffer 4 on WPO plan prior to the approval of the final site plan.
24) To address overlot grading, please show grading around each lot. The plan provided only shows a
conceptual plan for each lot.
25) Please address 30.7.5(c)(1) and (2) for proposed steep slopes.
26) Obtain grading easements for off -site areas.
Sincerely,
Michelle Roberge
