Memorandum
To: Chris Mulligan (cmulligan @roudabush.com)
From: Megan Yaniglos- Principal Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: July 8, 2015
Subject: SDP - 2015 -028 Old Trail- Blocks 10, 16, 17/18- Initial Site Plan
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department Community
Development will recommend approve the plan referred to above when the following items
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 to the Albemarle
County Code.]
Requirements:
1. The notification fees have not been paid for this submittal. $246.19 is due. Please pay
this fee. Approval of the initial site plan will not be given until the payment is received.
2. [32.5.2; Proffers /COD] Provide a table that contains all the information regarding all the
proposed blocks, built and unbuilt /under review. This table is necessary to track all the
requirements of the ZMA.
3. [32.5.2] Will any of the lots be proposed as affordable? A minimum of 15% of affordable
units are required per the proffer. Identify which lots /units will be affordable.
4. [32.5.2] Break up the parking calculations. Two spaces are required for each single
family detached unit, and 2.25 for each single family attached /townhouse unit. It is also
unclear if on street spaces are being counted towards parking.
5. [32.5.2] An easement for the sidewalks and planting strips will need to be established
to assure maintenance of these areas. Generally, the County prefers that these areas be
within the right of way. Is there a reason why these need to be within the lots? All other
portions of Old Trail have the sidewalks and planting strips within the right of way. Also,
to be consistent with the currently deferred rezoning submittal, it might be good to
match those setbacks proposed in that document and have the landscape and sidewalk
within the right of way.
6. [32.5.2] Provide information on lot coverage. This can be included in the table requested
in comment #2.
7. [Variations /Exceptions] The request for the private streets, sidewalk and planting strip
modifications is unclear. The request simply states for all streets, however, this request
is not needed for lots that have frontage on a public streets. It appears that only a
private street request is needed for Lots 1 -9 in Block 16 and Lots 16 -21 in Block 17
requires both the private street and sidewalk and planting strip request. Please revise
the request so that it is clear what is being requested.
