Subject:
SDP201500055 Sunset Overlook - Initial Site Plan
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. Lot lines 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.
[32.5.2(i), 14- 233(A)31 When private streets in development areas may be authorized. This plan proposes a private
street (Sun Valley Drive) that serves 15 single family detached residential lots. 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. The Agent is not able to authorize this private street; rather, it requires
Planning Commission authorization. Submit the required private street request pursuant to Section 14- 233(A)3 along
with the required justification. A maintenance agreement for the private street must be submitted for review and
approval by the County Attorney's Office with the subdivision application.
3. [32.5.2(d), 30.7.4(b)(h)] Slopes less than 25% based on new topographic information. Any use or structure allowed by
right or by special use permit in the underlying district, provided that the owner submits new topographic information
that is based on more accurate or better technical data demonstrating, to the satisfaction of the county engineer, that
the slopes are less than twenty -five (25) percent. The site plan relies on new topographic information. County Engineer
sign -off on this topographic information is required prior to final site plan approval.
4. [30.7] Steep Slopes Overlay District. The labeling of Preserved and Managed slopes shall be consistent and accurate
throughout the plan. The only Managed slopes onsite are those fronting Old Lynchburg Road; all other slopes onsite
are Preserved slopes and shall be labeled as such. Regardless of whether the County Engineer is satisfied with the new
topographic information or not, the labeling of the slopes does not change. Revise the plan accordingly.
5. [32.5.2(a), 15.4.11 Bonus factors for Environmental Standards. Bonus factors shall not be permitted for any
improvement or design feature already required by the ordinance. Preserved slopes within the development areas of the
County shall not be disturbed; therefore, Tree Preservation of existing vegetation on these slopes is already a required
feature and cannot be counted toward bonus density. Without the use of bonus factors the true density for this
development is Standard Level Cluster - 4du /acre.
The development may be able to qualify for a 5% bonus density increase if Tree Preservation area of at least 10% of
the site is outside of Preserved slopes. If this requirement can be met, on the final site plan provide the calculations for
verification. Also, prior to final site plan and/or plat approval provide an exhibit which shows that all tree preservation
areas meet the definition of a wooded area from Section 3.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
6. 114 -403, 32.5.2(i)] Lot frontage. Each lot within a subdivision shall have frontage on an existing or proposed street.
Lots 17 — 43 are not provided frontage on either an existing or proposed street. The sidewalk and landscape strip
improvements along Sunset Avenue Extended must be dedicated to public use. This will allow Lots 17 — 43 to utilize
Sunset Avenue Extended as their required street frontage. When dedicating the frontage it is recommended that the
developer assure adequate area for a bike lane within the right -of -way.
7. [32.5.2(1)] The Comprehensive Plan provides guidance that Sunset Avenue Extended should have bike lanes. To meet
this guidance, a 10' -wide multi -use path is recommended in place of the proposed sidewalk along Sunset Avenue
Extended (See the Design Standards Manual for exact specifications.)
8. 132.5.2(a), 32.5.2(0)] Areas to be dedicated. On the plan clearly depict and label any areas intended to be dedicated to
public use (such as street right -of -way). Also, provide a note stating that the land is to be dedicated for public use. Prior
to final site plan approval any dedications shall take place on a plat to be reviewed by the County, approved, and then
recorded in the Clerk's Office. The DB page information of this action shall be provided on the final site plan.
Please be aware that the County is seeking state funding to improve the alignment of Sunset Avenue to include bike
lanes and sidewalks, with one sidewalk constructed as a multi -use path (10' width), consistent with recommendations
of the Comprehensive Plan. It is a high priority project on the County's Transportation Priority List adopted by the
Board of Supervisors. It is recommended that the dedication of right -of -way for frontage be sufficient to facilitate these
improvements. Provision of right -of -way for these improvements will help to minimize impacts to the built site when
the roads are ultimately constructed. No plans for the improvements have been completed to date; therefore,
"centerline" and right -of -way information for the improvements are not available. However, to the extent feasible, the
site should be designed to accommodate the proposed road improvements in order to avoid future impacts to the
development from the future road improvements.
9. [32.5.2(n), 32.7.2.31 Sidewalks. The sidewalks provided along Sunset Avenue Extended shall be extended to the
adjacent property lines. Currently they terminate 5 feet from the property lines. Also, provide the required sidewalk and
landscaping strip along Sunset Avenue Extended for the 20 feet of frontage for Open Space C.
10. [32.7.1] Dedication of land for walkways. The frontage of Lot 16 along Country Green Road shall be dedicated for
public use to accommodate a future sidewalk connection to Country Green Cottages. Depict and label this area on the
final site plan and final subdivision plat.
11. [Comment] Sheet 1 provides a note which reads: "No offsite disturbance is proposed with this plan. Sunset Avenue
Extended shall be upgraded with the Wintergreen Farm Project. " It is recommended that the owners of TMP 76 -49B
(Wintergreen Farm LLC) dedicate the portion of land on Sunset Avenue Extended which fronts Lot 16 for public use.
This dedication will allow for a future connection of sidewalks on Sunset Avenue Extended with those on Country
Green Road. This may be accomplished on the final subdivision plat for Wintergreen Farm.
12. 132.5.2(n), 32.7.2.3(c)] Interconnectivity of sidewalks or pedestrian ways. On the plan depict and label the existing
paved pedestrian path that runs behind Lots 9 & 10 along Old Lynchburg Road (Rte 631). Also, on the final site plan
provide a pedestrian connection through Open Space E, connecting the sidewalk on Sunset Valley Drive to the paved
pedestrian path on Old Lynchburg Road. On the final plat assure that this pedestrian connection is located in an
easement.
13. [32.5.2(i)] Streets. On the plan label Country Green Road (SR 875) and dimension the prescriptive easement width.
Also, provide the centerline information and pavement widths.
14. [32.5.2(i)] Streets. Label and dimension the 30 foot prescriptive easement along Sunset Avenue Extended. Also,
provide the centerline information and pavement widths.
15. [32.5.2(a)] General Information. Development is proposed on TMP 76 -52N. Prior to final site plan approval TMP 76-
52N and TMP 76 -52 shall be combined through a plat. The DB page information of this action shall be provided on the
final site plan.
16. [32.5.2(a)] General Information. The acreage of TMP 76 -52N shall be included in the acreage for the site, this
information will modify the density calculations currently on the plan.
17. [32.7.2.1] Vehicular Access to Site. Each entrance onto any public street shall be designed and constructed as required
by the standards of the Virginia Department of Transportation. VDOT approval of the proposed entrance to the site
shall be required prior to final site plan approval.
18. [32.5.2(f)] Watercourses and other bodies of water. On sheet 1 revise the watershed note as follows: "This site lies
within the Moores Creek Watershed, which is not a water supply watershed. " Also, on the plan label the intermittent
stream at the rear of the property.
19. [32.5.20),(k),(1)] Verify that the location(s) and dimensions of all existing and proposed utilities and utility easements
including water, sewer, drainage, telephone, cable, electric and gas are shown on the plan. Label all existing easements
with the Deed Book and Page Number.
20. [32.5.2(n), 32.5.1(c)] Dimensions. On the plan depict and dimension all proposed improvements, including buildings,
driveways, and garages.
21. [32.5.2(n)] Proposed Improvements. Provide the maximum footprint for all proposed buildings.
22. [32.5.2(n), 4.16.2] Proposed Improvements. On the plan list the amenities that will be provided in the tot lot. Also, it is
suggested that a 4 foot tall wooden fence be provided at the rear of the tot lot to prevent children from inadvertently
falling down into the ravine.
23. [14- 236(c)] Alleys. Where alleys are authorized, driveways shall be provided only from the alley. On the plan depict,
label, and dimension the driveways for each lot.
24. [14- 303(E)] Alleys. On the final plat provide the alley with an easement labeled "Alley Easement ". Also, list the
easement holder on the plat (i.e., the HOA).
25. [32.5.1(c), 15.3, 4.11.31 Setbacks. Include the side setbacks and garage setbacks on sheet 1. They are: "Side setback —
none (see Building separation) ". Garage Setbacks: "Front loaded garage: minimum 18 feet setback from R/W. Side
loaded garage: minimum S feet setback from R/W. "
26. [32.5.1(c), 4.6.41 Rear yards on interior lots. Accurately depicted and dimension the rear yards of the townhome lots.
The rear yards shall be measured from the edge of the alley right -of -way or easement.
27. [32.5.2(n)] Proposed Improvements. On the final site plan clarify what is happening with the land between Lot 43 and
Sun Valley Drive (54 foot private right -of -way). Is it to be open space? Is it to be added to Lot 43?
28. [32.5.2(n), 4.12.61 Parking. On the plan provide parking calculations for the multifamily units to include the number of
bedrooms /units in each townhouse. This information is required in order to calculate the required parking for the use. If
each unit is planned to have 2 bedrooms or more, then 2 spaces are required per unit. Additionally, if parking is
provided on each lot then one guest space shall be required per 4 units (27 units 14 = 7 spaces).
29. 14.12.16, 4.12.16(d)] Minimum design requirements for parking. Parallel parking spaces shall be a minimum of 9 foot
wide by 20 foot long. Revise the eight guest spaces to meet the minimum length requirements. Also, provide the guest
spaces with some type of identification (sign or paint striping).
30. [32.5.2(n)] Existing and proposed improvements. Clearly depict and label limits of disturbance and show areas where
existing vegetation will be removed.
31. [32.5.2(n)] Existing and proposed improvements. Dimension the full width of the retaining walls required for

The initial site plan for Sunset Overlook has been reviewed. The following concerns should be addressed;
1. Slopes within the preserved slopes overlay district that are proven to be less than 25% based on
new topographic information do not become managed slopes, as indicated by the "existing
managed slopes" labels in these areas. These labels should be removed. A note may be added
indicating that these areas are less than 25% based on new aerial topography to be confirmed by
field survey prior to final site plan. While the uses allowed by right or by special use permit in the
underlying district may be permitted if new topographic information (field survey) proves that the
slopes in questions are less than 25% [30.7.4.b.l.hl, this does not change the preserved slope
designation. Note that if a field survey does not show that the areas in question are less and 25 %,
all disturbance in those areas must be removed.
2. Alleys are required to intersect streets at two locations; however, dead -end alleys with turnarounds
may be permitted by waiver by the County Engineer [Design Standards Manual]. Please request
that the applicant submit a waiver request to the County Engineer for the proposed dead -end alley.
3. The grading on the proposed alley is unclear. There are no shown proposed contours between
512' and 522'. Proposed topography should be shown at 2' contour intervals. Note that alley
grades must not exceed 20% [Design Standards Manual].
4. Drainage easements for drainage passing through the site from offsite should extend to the
property line or ROW. See proposed 20' drainage easements located just off alley cul -de -sac and
at the private street entrance on to Sunset Ave. Ext.
5. Much of the proposed slopes in and around the SWM facilities are 2:1. Slopes greater than 3:1
require low- maintenance ground cover (not grass); this should be specified on plans.
b. There does not appear to be adequate vehicle access to the proposed SWM facilities. SWM
facilities must have a 10' wide access path graded at less than 20 %. Grades exceeding 20% must
be graveled or paved [Design Standards Manual].
7. While it is important that proposed SWM facilities be shown on the site plan to review grading,
access, and treatment feasibility, etc., the actual SWM plan is not reviewed with the site plan but
with the VSMP. Therefore, the SWM plan sheet (5) should be removed from the site plan.
8. It is unclear whether the proposed sidewalks along Sunset Ave. Ext. are within the ROW. Please
request clarification. It is preferable that sidewalks be within street ROW.
9. Adequate sight distance on Sunset Ave. Ext. at the entrance to the proposed subdivision is not
demonstrated with this plan. Please request that the applicant include such an exhibit in the plan.
10. A safety fence should be provided for the retaining wall on lots 1 & 2.
11. VSMP and Road Plan approvals are prerequisites to Final Site Plan approval.
12. VDOT approval of the proposed entrance on to Sunset Ave. Ext. is required.
