Ellie-
Please allow this email to serve as our request for a six month deferral on the SDP2015-027 and SUB2015-097
applications. We wish to request this deferral in order to resolve the r/w dedication area with the County. Please let us
know when you have had a chance to meet with Jack Kelsey and when we can meet to resolve the r/w area to be
dedicated and the r/w to be vacated.
Also,the owner will be delivering the (2) $200 checks before cob Thursday for the noticing fees.
Thank you.

Scott,
David and I met with Jack yesterday and it appears that the previous dedication from TMP 062F0-00-00-000E1 was a
necessary dedication for Belvedere Blvd. It is linked to Belvedere Proffer 4.1. For clarity,this description is from county
CAMA records for the subject parcel:
01/29/2008 DEED OF DEDICATION PER DB 3544 PG 722 DEDICATING BELVEDERE BLVD FOR PUBLIC USE TO THE COUNTY
OF ALBEMARLE.
01/25/2008 CERTIFICATE OF PLAT PER DB 3543 PG 225
1.345
- .145 AC DEDICATED TO BELVEDERE BLVD
=1.200 PER PB 3543 PG 235
After speaking with Jack,we do not think the County would be willing to vacate this portion of right-of-way; the proposal
for The Villas at Belvedere will need to be modified to remove this area. If you have additional questions or need more
information, please feel free to contact either me or David.

Mr. Dirickson,
I was nice meeting with you and Mr. Punch as well; I'm glad you both attended the meeting to get a better idea of what
is being proposed. Yes, both applications are 'preliminary' in nature...a Preliminary Plat and an Initial Site Plan, and the
applicants received comments(see attached)from each reviewing agency/division as to what issues are present at this
preliminary stage. These comments will become conditions of approval of the preliminary plat and initial site plan (once
they resolve their dedicated right-of-way issue). When the Final Plat and Final Site Plans are submitted,the plan/plat
not only needs to meet these conditions of approval, but also the requirements specific to final submittals. They must
also submit a VSMP application that includes erosion &sediment control and stormwater management plans; neither
the final site plan nor the final plat can be approved until the VSMP is approved.
I did read through the comments again and both Engineering and VDOT refer to having bollards on the emergency
access(or otherwise limiting the use of this access road), so that issue will be resolved with the final plans.
Please let me know if you need anything additional, and I assume I'll be seeing you on the 23`d for the Dunlora V SRC
meeting.
Thank you,

Ellie,
I enjoyed the opportunity of meeting with you today to sit in on the Villas at Belvedere planning project. Both Pat Punch
and I also thank you for allowing our comments as well. I understand from our conversation that these were the
preliminary reviews to allow all parties to know issues or changes that may be required subject to your conditional pre
approval letter. I am very interested in this project as well as the Dunlora V project since both of these developments
impact Shepherds Ridge Road where I am a home owner resident. It was also learned from this meeting that the existing
emergency access on the Hauser plans will not be used as a thoroughfare between the Villas and Shepherds Ridge and
will have bollards across the property to limit public vehicle thru traffic.
I am also sending this email as a reminder that you had said you could send Pat and me a copy of your comments for
these projects.Should you have any questions or if we may assist you. Please let me know.

Subject: RE: Dunlora - Belvedere proposed developments
Mr. Dirickson,
As Mark said the two projects are the Villas at Belvedere and Dunlora V. Both parcels are zoned R-4 and both projects
are by-right proposals, meaning they do not require legislative action for approval. I have not yet reviewed either,so I
don't have detailed information but here is a summary of each:
Villas at Belvedere includes 14 dwelling units(nine single family attached and five single family detached)on 3.39 acre
for a resulting density of 4.13 du/ac. This proposal utilizes the preservation of wooded areas bonus factor to achieve a
5% increase in density(as allowed in the ordinance). These lots front existing public streets(Belvedere Blvd and
Shepherd's Ridge (I believe the single family detached lots front on Shepherd's Ridge)). This proposal does include an
emergency access connection to Shepherd's Ridge, which is a relocated emergency access that was required as part of
the approval of Dunlora Phase 3A. If you want to view this plan, let me know and I can leave a copy at the front desk for
you come in and review. Alternatively(or in addition),you may attend the SRC meeting on July 9th at 10 am to see the
plan and ask questions. This meeting is not a public hearing, but rather an informal meeting between the applicant and
staff to discuss the proposal and the comments provided by staff. Members of the public are welcome to attend to see
the proposal. I have attached the notification above (Dated May 26th)for more information.
Dunlora V includes 20 dwelling units(single family detached) on 4.94 acre for a resulting density of 4.05 du/acre, in a
cluster development. This proposal utilizes the preservation of wooded areas bonus factor to achieve a 5% increase in
density(as allowed in the ordinance). All lots front on a proposed internal public street that connects to Shepherd's
Ridge. Dunlora V was submitted under our electronic plan review pilot program,so a digital copy of the plan can be
viewed here: http://www.albemarle.org/weblink8/search.aspx?dbid=3&searchcommand=%7b%SbCDD-
Planning%5d:%5bApplicationNumber%5d=%22SUB201500102%22%7d. You may also attend the SRC meeting on July
23rd at 10 am. I have attached the notification above (Dated June 8th )for more information.
As for our process, the Villas was submitted as both a preliminary subdivision plat and an initial site plan (due to the
attached units) but the applications follow the same path. Dunlora V is a preliminary subdivision plat. All
agencies/reviewers (planning, engineering,ARB, E911,ACSA,VDOT, inspections, fire/rescue, etc.) review the plan and
provide their comments to the Review Coordinator(in this case, me) and are sent to the applicant the Monday or
Tuesday before the SRC meeting. At the SRC meeting,we discuss the comments, clarify expectations, and note potential
issues for gaining final approval. Within 14 days of the SRC meeting,the review coordinator will issue either a
conditional approval of the preliminary plat/initial site plan listing all of the comments provided by staff as conditions of
approval of a Final Plat/Final Site Plan...or a disapproval of the proposal. Unless there are significant issues that aren't
likely to be overcome, a conditional approval is generally the route that's taken.
If a disapproval is issued, all requirements not satisfied by the proposal must be provided and the applicant has 15 days
to submit a revised plan that addresses these requirements.
If a conditional approval is issued,the applicant has a year to submit a Final Plat/Plan that addresses the conditions of
approval as well as the requirements of a Final Site Plan/Plat.

Mr. Dirickson,
The projects at the intersection of Belvedere and Rio are called Villas at Belvedere and Dunlora V. Both are currently
under review and Ellie Ray is the lead reviewer for both projects. I'm copying her on this so she can see your questions
and you have her email address. As the project lead,she is in the best position to help you with questions and
concerns.
Hope this helps!

Importance: High
Mr. Graham:
My supervisor, Brad Sheffield suggested I contact you. I am a resident of Albemarle County and live on Shepherds Ridge
Road in Dunlora.Through our HOA we have been advised that two new developments are in the planning stages that
may have an impact on my street.These separate projects are Mr. Hauser's and Mr. Stoner's who are developing two
contiguous residential sites to Dunlora and just off Rio Road. I understand both of these plans have been submitted to
your office for review. Because of their direct impact to this area I was wondering your process of review and also if you
can share your thoughts on these two projects. I am coping Bob Drake on this email. I am also an officer of our
association.
