Lopez, III Milestone Partners (e -mail: llopez @mile stonepartners. co) Re: Bond release request for Lochlyn Hill Phase IA & 1B Road Bond (SUB201300092) Thank you for the documentation regarding completion of roads in the Lochlyn Hill Subdivision. This bond is currently at $742,570. However, per your discussion with the County Engineer on 18 March 2014, the corrected bond amount of $965,270 is to be considered with future bond reduction requests. An AASHTO Type III Baricade, or similar, is needed at the alley connecting Lochlyn Hill to Vegas Court. The road name and traffic regulation signs are not built to county standards. They must be replaced with signs and posts which meet the county standards, or a sign agreement must be completed and recorded guaranteeing the future maintenance by the homeowners. Please be aware the agreement is for the posts, and the sign plates must be to county standard. The agreement document can be found on the county website at this address: http: / /www.albemarle.org/upload /images /forms _center /departments /Community Development /forms /E ngineering and WPO _ Forms/Street _Sign Requirements_ Maintenance_Agreement.pdf The county road naming and property numbering ordinance can be found at this address: http:// www.albemarle.orgLupload/images/ Forms_ Center /Departments /Geographic_ Data Services /Forms /Road Naming and_PropertX Numbering Ordinance and Manual.pdf The sign agreement must be accompanied by a detail of the post and sign arrangement which will be maintained. An example of the county detail can be found at this address: http: / /www.albemarle.or /g_upload /images/ forms _center /departments /Community Development/forms /E ngineering and WPO _ Forms/Street _Sign Requirements_ _Road Naming and_PropertX Numbeng Ordinance _ and _Manual %20- %20Detail_C.pdf The entrance gutter grade at 1160 Pen Park Lane E exceeds the VDOT maximum of 12 %. It is our recommendation that this be corrected. The resident at this address is handicapped and has a difficult time getting to the mail box with the current configuration. At this time the subdivision bond may be reduced to $205,990 upon the installation of an acceptable barricade. Please contact me if you have questions. #Sincer ly, Deel Max Greene From: Glenn Brooks Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 8:36 AM To: Max Greene Subject: FW: Lochlyn Hill From: Mark Graham Sent: Monday, January 27, 2014 4:54 PM To: Jim Tolbert; 'L.J. Lopez'; Glenn Brooks; Greg Kamptner Subject: Lochlyn Hill I just signed both copies of the inter-jurisdictional agreement and forwarding one copy back to the City(attn:Jim Tolbert). Two things to note. 1. With respect to the County issuing building permits for new residences in Phase 1, we require an Agreement in Lieu of a Plan for E&SC permitting before issuing the building permit. We will need proof that the City has issued the Agreement or permit for the lot before approving the building permit. 2. For the Phase 1 Subdivision, we will notify the City when we have approved the plat and the subdivision is bonded. We ask that the City not reduce or release the E&SC bond without first notifying the County. If that happens, it may prove necessary for the County to increase the subdivision bond . We also anticipate requiring some E&SC measures to be included with the County's subdivision bond to assure the work can continue if there is a need to call thesubdivision bond. Without this, we would need for the City to first issue a stop work order and demand the E&SC bond on their side. This recognizes it is possible the subdivision bond would be in default without the E&SC bond held by the City being in default. COMMONWEALTH of VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 1601 Orange Road Culpeper, Virginia 22701 -3819 Gregory A. Whirley Commissioner of Highways July 12, 2013 Mr. Max Greene County of Albemarle Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Re: SUB - 2013 -00092 Lochlyn Hill, Phase IA & 1 B Road Plans Dear Mr. Greene: We have reviewed the Road, Utility, E &SC, and SWM Plan for Lochlyn Hill, Phase 1A & 1B dated June 24, 2013 as submitted by Collins Engineering and offer the following comments: Sheet 3 1. The 20' Private Access Easements for Shared Driveways should specify the lots that will use the entrances for access. 2. Are any of the proposed lots going to access Vegas Court? If so, it should be noted on the plans. 3. Please note, for any entrance that will serve as access for 3 to 5 lots, stopping sight distance at that entrance must be met. 4. While the 20' emergency access road will connect to Lochlyn Hill Drive within the Charlottesville City Limits, it appears that the entrance could serve up to 7 lots and should meet the standards for a Private Subdivision Road. 5. To ensure a sound paving joint when Lochlyn Hill Drive is extended to the east, the terminus should be "squared off' rather than angled as shown. 6. There appears to be conflicts with street trees at the entrances between lots 9 and 10, between lots 13 and 14, between lots 4 and 5, at lot 1, and at lot 6. 7. I'm not convinced that the bollards shown on the emergency access road will prevent passenger vehicle traffic. An alternate solution needs to be considered. 8. The right -of -way width of Pen Park Lane north of the intersection with Lochlyn Hill Lane should be labeled. 9. The proposed sidewalk along Vegas Court should be extended to the existing sidewalk on Vegas Court. 10. The right -of -way for Pen Park Lane to the east of Phase 1 will need to line up with the right -of -way in Phase 1. This can be addressed in the future phase of this project. Sheet 4 11. Manhole 6 should be located on the opposite side of Pen Park Lane so that the lateral crossing for lot 7 is more perpendicular and does not cross directly in the intersection. Sheet 5 12. Storm pipe 26A should run from structure 26B to structure 24 instead of to structure 26. This would eliminate a crossing of Pen Park Lane. 13. The locations of structures 24 and 26 should be adjusted so that the storm pipe 25 crossing is more perpendicular. 14. The location of structure 20 should be adjusted so that the storm pipe 21 crossing is more perpendicular. 15. Structure 14 is currently located in the shared entrance between lots 4 and 5. Please be aware that this structure location as well as the location of structure 16 will need to be adjusted so that the storm pipe 15 crossing remains as perpendicular as possible. 16. The drainage easements for storm pipes 9 and 12A need to be labeled as such. 17. The storm pipe collecting runoff at the yard drains between lots 18 and 19 should be realigned so that they connect to storm structure 2H instead of structure 2D. The private yard drains should not be connected directly into structures and storm sewer that will be maintained by VDOT. 18. I believe that drainage channels would better handle the lot surface runoff than would the proposed yard drains. Yards need to be graded more precisely with yard drains and drains tend to become clogged with grass clippings, leaves, and other debris. 19. VDOT's storm sewer maintenance will not include any storm sewer downstream of structure 6, any storm sewer downstream of structure 2D (VDOT will maintain structure 21)), any storm sewer downstream of structure 2H, or any of the storm sewer included as part of the yard drain system. 20. The storm sewer should be reworked between structures 18F and 18B such that the road runoff will be conveyed downstream via storm sewer located with VDOT right -of -way. Sheet 6 21. The areas noted on the Trip Generation table should be specified on the map. Sheet 7 22. The standard details shown on sheet 7 need to be the most current details as provided on the VDOT website. Sheet 9 23. The length of storm pipe 27 as shown in the drainage calculations is different than the length in the profile, resulting in a different slope of pipe. This needs to be revised and recalculated. 24. The length of storm pipe 26A as shown in the drainage calculations is different than the length in the profile. In addition, the invert out of structure 26B is different than the invert shown on the profile. The combination of the differing length and invert results in a different slope of pipe. This needs to be revised and recalculated. Please note, that the calculations should reflect the final alignment which may change as a result of comment 11 above. 25. The rim elevation for structure 26B in the calculations is different from that indicated in on the profile. Since the elevation in the calculations is lower, this has no impact on the calculations; however, the elevations should be consistent. 26. The length of storm pipe 2G as shown in the drainage calculations is different than the length in the profile, resulting in a different slope of pipe. While the difference is not significant, the lengths and slopes should be consistent. 27. I did not see where the section of storm sewer between the pipe inlet and structure 26B was included in the drainage calculations. Sheet 10 28. A note should be added indicating that steps will be required on all drainage structures with a depth of 4' or greater. 29. Some of the curve data on the profile for Pen Park Lane — Lochlyn Hill Lane has been cut off. 30. The final elevation should be added to the notation indicating the location that Pen Park Lane becomes Lochlyn Hill Lane. 31. The station, elevation, and notation of the intersection of Lochlyn Hill Lane and Lochlyn Hill Drive should be added to the profiles for Lochlyn Hill Drive and Pen Park Lane --- Lochlyn Hill Lane. 32. The station, elevation, and notation of the intersection of Lochlyn Hill Lane and Pen Park Lane should be added to the profile for Pen Park Lane. 33. The elevation of the road at the end of Phase 1 on Pen Park Lane should be added to the profile. 34. The elevation of the road at the start and end of Phase 1 on Lochlyn Hill Drive should be added to the profile. Sheet 12 35. A note should be added indicating that steps will be required on all drainage structures with a depth of 4' or greater. 36. The profile for the storm sewer between structure 26B and 26 indicates that the culvert tying into structure 26B is at a grade of 19.5 %. This storm sewer /ditch should be revised to reduce the grade of this pipe. In addition, any pipe over 16% requires anchoring. 37. Structures 12B, 12D, 18F, and 18H do not meet the minimum height requirement as identified in the Road and Bridge Standards. The storm sewer needs to be revised so that all structures meet this requirement. 38. Some of the structure information has been cut off from the profile for the storm sewer between storm structures 2D and 2. Sheet 14 39. I believe the usage of a paved construction entrance defeats the entire purpose of a construction entrance. This construction entrance should be stone and if it is not, the wash rack should be required. If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.

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 not submitted for subdivision plat review; comments provided are for Road Plans only. Any subdivision related comments are provided for reference /recommendation purposes only. 2. [Comment] It appears that a couple of the proposed tree locations have conflicts with proposed entrances to the lots. These conflicts should be resolved before the road plan is approved. Recommendations 3. [Comment] This development straddles County and City boarders; as such it is advisable that the applicant works with the City during this phase of the development. Please note that the City as well as the County will be required to sign the subdivision plat for this proposal to include road plan review and bonding of the roads. 4. [4.6.3(a)] While not a requirement for road plan approval, as depicted on the road plan the side yard setbacks abutting the "20' private access easements for shared driveways" are not accurately shown. Pursuant to Section 4.6.3(a) "I fa shared driveway is concurrent with the shared lot line of the lots served by the shared driveway, each primary structure also shall be located at least six (6) feet from the edge of the shared driveway easement. " Thus on the plat there should be an additional 6' side yard setback from the easement per Section 4.6.3(a). If the shared easements are to remain this will need to be correctly depicted on the final subdivision plat prior to final subdivision plat approval. 5. [14- 302(A)9 and 4.6.41 While not a requirement for road plan approval, the rear setbacks for Lots 19 and 21 should be revised to account for the L- turnaround of the 20' Private Alley Easement. The rear setback shall be measured from the easement. The approved preliminary subdivision plat for Phase I (SUB201300028) did not contain a turn around on these lots, thus it was not relevant on that plat. This will need to be corrected on the final subdivision plat prior to final subdivision plat approval. 6. [32.5.2(a)] and 4.6.4] Setbacks. While not a requirement for road plan approval, as depicted the L- turnaround for the 20' Private Alley does not provide for the required 20' setback requirement of the Rear Yard of the townhouse lot. As depicted the townhouse currently encroaches into the required Rear Setback as measured from the easement. This item shall be revised to meet the setback requirements prior to final site plan approval. 7. [Comment] The bollard design depicted on the road plan does not match the bollard design depicted on the initial site plan (SDP201300026).They should match. The applicant shall work with Fire and Rescue and VDOT to determine the appropriate number of bollards required to adequately prevent through traffic for the Emergency Access Road. 8. [Comment] On sheet 1, the signature line for the Approval by the Agent for the Board of Supervisors is provided; however, the Agent does not sign road plans. It may be appropriate to take this signature line off of the road plan. Please contact Christopher P. Perez at the Division of Current Development by using oerezkalbemarle.org or 434 - 296 -5832 ext. 3443 for further information. 2 RWSA has reviewed the Site Plan for Lochlyn Hill as prepared by Collins Engineering and dated 4/22/2013 and offers the following comments for the engineer: Sheet 2: 1. Show the location of the existing RWSA 18" waterline all the way to Woodmont Drive. Remove " ?" labels from the water line. Sheet 4: 1. Show the location of the existing RWSA 18" water line all the way to Woodmont Drive. Remove " ?" labels from the water line. 2. Shift the location of the 90 degree bend (roughly 28' south of the 10 "x8" tap on the existing ACSA water line) so that there is at least 5' of horizontal separation from the fitting to the 18" RWSA water line. 3. Call out a minimum of 18" of vertical separation at the crossing of the new 8" water line with the 18" RWSA main. Sheet 5: 1. Show the location of the existing RWSA 18" water line all the way to Woodmont Drive. Remove " ?" labels from the water line. 2. Shift the location of the storm water intake structure (in front of 1160 Pen Park Lane) so that there is at least 5' of horizontal separation from the 18" RWSA water line. 3. There are three locations where the proposed storm sewer will cross the RWSA 18" main. The RWSA main should be test - pitted at each location to determine the depth. Call out a minimum of 18" of vertical separation at each crossing with the RWSA main. Sheet 6: 1. Please include all relevant notes from the attached RWSA General Water and Sewer Notes (attached). Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information on any of the comments above.

Whirley Commissioner of Highways September 30, 2013 Mr. Max Greene County of Albemarle Department of Community Development 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22902 Re: SUB - 2013 -00092 Lochlyn Hill, Phase IA & 1B Road Plans Dear Mr. Greene: We have reviewed the road and utility plan for Lochlyn Hill Phase IA and IB dated June 24, 2013 with revisions dated 9111113 as submitted by Collins Engineering and offer the following comments: 1. A previous review comment requested that the proposed sidewalk along Vegas Court be connected to the existing sidewalk along Vegas Court. Per 24VAC30- 92- 120.I.1, "In all developments with pedestrian accommodations, such accommodations shall connect with existing pedestrian accommodations and allow for connection to future pedestrian accommodations *to adjacent parcels." On Sheet 3, it appears that the proposed sidewalk will be located within existing right -of -way and that there is adequate right -of -way available around the cul -de -sac to continue the sidewalk to the existing sidewalk. 2. A previous review comment requested that the alignment of the storm sewer from structure 26B to structure 26 to structure 24 be rerouted so that the storm sewer would run from structure 26B to structure 24. The least amount of separation storm sewer and the existing appears to occur at structure 26B and appears to be approximately 5' as scaled from the plan view on Sheet 5. Any storm sewer run from structure 26B to structure 24 would in separation as the proposed road curves away from the waterline. It appears that structure 26B could be moved to the east such that it is just east of structure 26. The storm sewer could then run from structure 26 to structure 26B perpendicularly to structure 24. 3. A previous review comment requested that manhole 6 should be located on the opposite side of Pen Park Lane so that the lateral crossing for lot 7 is more perpendicular. The area suggested for manhole 6 is located within an existing gravel driveway that is to be removed as shown on Sheets 2 and 13. The tree on Lots 7 and 8 to be preserved would be approximately 80 to 90 feet from the proposed location and would likely be impact more by the installation of the storm sewer from structure 20 to structure 18. 4. On Sheet 5, it appears that storm pipe 19 is to be radial. This pipe should be run straight from structure 20 to structure 18. 5. A previous review comment requested that the storm sewer between structures 18F and 18B be rerouted so that the storm sewer is located within the proposed right -of -way. With the current alignment proposed, VDOT would not maintain the storm sewer located within the proposed easement. It appears that the storm sewer could be realigned along the road with the installation of 2 storm manholes. It appears that this could be accomplished while maintaining a slope of at least 0.450o and on average 0.500o. If the storm sewer were rerouted in this fashion, it appears that one of the storm manholes would be slightly over 12' in depth and the other approximately 10' in depth. Another alternative would be to provide a temporary discharge for structure 18F and extend the storm sewer to the east along Pen Park Lane as the area develops. 6. On Sheet 12, the top of storm structure 18H is shown to be above the back of curb graphically. 7. On Sheet 12, storm structure 18F does not meet the minimum height requirement as identified in the Road and Bridge Standards. If we you need additional information concerning this project or think it beneficial to meet to discuss these comments, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Troy Austin, P.E.

The utility and grading plans show four crossings of the 18" RWSA waterline by proposed storm sewer lines (26A, 25, 23, & 18G). In order to minimize the number of crossings (and subsequently, the number of required test pits and potential separation conflicts), can minor changes be made to the storm sewer design? For example, connecting structures 24 and 26A would eliminate two water line crossings. 26 and 20 could be connected to pick up the flow from structures 26 to 27. General Comments: The RWSA Board of Directors reached a resolution on the wholesale water metering program at its September meeting. The Board approved a wholesale water metering program which will require meters on all main -to- main interconnections between City and RWSA infrastructure as well as main -to -main interconnections between ACSA and City infrastructure. As we have discussed in previous meetings, the developerwill be responsible for metering any new connections that fit the above criteria. RWSA will provide specific guidelines as to the types and sizes of meters that will be required, but for example, an 8" x 8" City to County connection will likely require a 6" mag meter. Meter vaults for meters of this size can be quite large (a 4" meter requires a vault that is 12' x 6' x 5'), so please account for this as you update the Lochlyn Hill Utility Master Plan, the Phase IA & 1B Road & Utility Plan, and the utility plans for each subsequent phase of development. I will be in touch as soon as I have more specific details. The Board Report for the Discussion on the Wholesale Metering Study can be found at the following location: http://www.rivanna.oria/documents/agendas/aizenda sep24 2013 doc7d.pdf Minutes from the September meeting will be posted on the RWSA website as soon as they are approved at file:// cob- dts01/ CityViewLnWDocs /2013/SUB/SUB201300092- Lochlyn Hill, Phase 1A & 1B Road Plan/RWSA Lochlyn Hill -Phase 1A 1B Road Utility Plan.htm 1/2 10/7/13 RWSA Lochlyn Hill -Phase 1A 1B Road Utility Plan.htm the October Board Meeting.

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.] [14- 410(D), 14- 302(A)9 and 4.6.41 The required and approved L- turnaround design of the 20' Private Alley Easement has been omitted on the revised road plan. While the approved preliminary subdivision plat for Phase IA (SUB201300028) did not contain a turn around on these lots, during the review and approval of the Initial Site Plan for Phase IB this item came to be required. Revise alley easement to provide the approved L- turnaround OR provide an acceptable /approvable turnaround design which Engineer and Fire & Rescue signs off on. 2. [Condition of Approval for Preliminary Plat] As proposed the realignment of Pen Park Lane will require alterations in existing access for TMP 61A -19, 20, 21, 22, and 23A. As such this may require access easements to be provided to those owners across Lochlyn Hills property OR boundary line adjustments to transfer the excess land to those owners. Depending on the solution to the above this may also require offsite construction easements to construct the modified driveways on the above properties. Per the applicant, they are working with VDOT and individual lot owners on this issue and the final plat will reflect additional r/w or transfer of the property to the lot owners. Prior to Final Plat approval this issue shall be resolved and approved by VDOT and the County. As proposed it does not appear that the above mentioned issue has been addressed, rather on the road plan there is a portion of land labeled as "Public Access Easement" which appears to create an island in the middle of Pen Park Lane; however on the recently reviewed final plat this land is labeled as "Common Area Open Space 2 ". Please clarify. 3. [32.5.2(n) and 4.12.16(d) ] Parallel parking along Lochlyn Hill Drive shall be a minimum dimension of 9 feet wide and 20 feet long. The road plan depicts these spaces as 7'x20'; however, this does not meet the requirements of the ordinance. Revise. 4. [Comment] This development straddles County and City boarders; as such it is advisable that the applicant works with the City during this phase of the development. Please note that the City as well as the County will be required to sign the subdivision plat for this proposal to include road plan review and bonding of the roads. [Condition of Approval for Initial Site Plan and 32.7.9.7(a2) &(e)] Screening. The required screening for the adjoining residential lots directly behind the townhomes off - street parking area has been provided on sheet 13; however, it appears that the residential properties (Lot 19 and 21) which are at the end of the paved turn around do not have any screening from the townhomes parking area. Revise landscaping plan to provide the required screening to these lots by extending the double staggered row of dragon lady hollies to conceal the townhome parking area from Lots 19 and 21. 6.

The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the Road Plans 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. [14- 410(D), 14- 302(A)9 and 4.6.41 The required and approved L- turnaround design of the 20' Private Alley Easement has been omitted on the revised road plan. While the approved preliminary subdivision plat for Phase IA (SUB201300028) did not contain a turn around on these lots, during the review and approval of the Initial Site Plan for Phase IB this item came to be required. Revise alley easement to provide the approved L- turnaround OR provide an acceptable /approvable turnaround design which Engineer and Fire & Rescue signs off on. During the meeting it was discussed that the alley is going away and will likely not happen in the future. They plan to leave this area as "future development" and work it out later. Staff advised the applicant that if the alley eventually gets redesigned back into the project that it will likely cause trouble for the lots being subdivided on the final plat be it will alter their setbacks. The applicant stated that they do not believe the alley will be left in the project. Future implications if the alley is redesigned back into the project as currently proposed: setbacks for lots 20, 19, and 21 will need to be revised to accommodate the alley and the required turn around. Future implications if the alley is omitted from the project: the townhomes parking and access will need to be redesigned. 2. [Condition of Approval for Preliminary Plat] As proposed the realignment of Pen Park Lane will require alterations in existing access for TMP 61A -19, 20, 21, 22, and 23A. As such this may require access easements to be provided to those owners across Lochlyn Hills property OR boundary line adjustments to transfer the excess land to those owners. Depending on the solution to the above this may also require offsite construction easements to construct the modified driveways on the above properties. Per the applicant, they are working with VDOT and individual lot owners on this issue and the final plat will reflect additional r/w or transfer of the property to the lot owners. Prior to Final Plat approval this issue shall be resolved and approved by VDOT and the County. As proposed it does not appear that the above mentioned issue has been addressed, rather on the road plan there is a portion of land labeled as "Public Access Easement" which appears to create an island in the middle of Pen Park Lane; however on the recently reviewed final plat this land is labeled as "Common Area Open Space 2 ". Please clarify. The applicant explained that the right of way easement was in a county /city ownership. Being that the applicant does not own it, nor does VDOT, they cannot give the land to the adjacent owners be its not theirs to give. They have agreed to extend the driveways of the applicable owners over the right of way easement to provide access to the relocated right of way. Staff pointed out that there is a portion of driveway which goes over Lochlyn Hills property which will require a driveway easement be set to record (61A -21 and 61A -20). The above was discussed with the applicant. Following the meeting staff researched the easement further and discussed the unresolved situation with the County Attorney's office. Below are some of the items which need to be resolved with this situation prior to approval of the road plan and final plat: 1) Is the City owned r/w easement owned fee simple? If not who owns the land under the easement? Regardless the owners of this easement and property need to be party to what happens with it. Thus Frank Stoner or the applicant shall work with the City and the County on this easement issue and how to resolve it. Please provide planning staff the deeds /plats associated with the City owned right of way easement, specifically Deed Book 318 Page 467 and Deed Book 175 Page 191 and Deed Book 628 Page 599 (plat). 2) What is the City's position on the driveways of TMP 61A -22, 61A -21, 61A -20, 61A -19 being extended over the city's r/w easement? 3) Regardless of the above: if the r/w easement is to be vacated, City Council will be required to approve the vacation. Or if the applicant chooses not to vacate it with this phase then easements will need to be granted by the City Council to extend the driveways over the r/w easement (depending on how the deed of Deed Book 318 Page 467 and Deed Book 175 Page 191 read — do they give ultimate permission). 4) The owners of TMP 61A -21 and 61A -20 need to give permission to have their entrance to their properties combined. This will need to be done on a plat which depicts the shared driveway easement for these two lots and there shall be a shared maintenance agreement for the shared driveway. These owners will need to sign the plat and deed work. 3. [32.5.2(n) and 4.12.16(d) ] Parallel parking along Lochlyn Hill Drive shall be a minimum dimension of 9 feet wide and 20 feet long. The road plan depicts these spaces as 7'x20'; however, this does not meet the requirements of the ordinance. Revise. Staff discussed the comment and the applicant agreed to make the required changes. 4. [Comment] This development straddles County and City boarders; as such it is advisable that the applicant works with the City during this phase of the development. Please note that the City as well as the County will be required to sign the subdivision plat for this proposal to include road plan review and bonding of the roads. Staff discussed this issue with the applicant and it's been said that bonding will occur with both the City and the County. Following the meeting staff contacted the City of Charlottesville, specifically Mike Smith Neighborhood Planner (phone # 970 - 3453). He states that the City has not received a road plan for review of the portion of proposed road in the City. As previously discussed the City should be involved in the review of the road plan, to include improvements on Pen Park Lane which were subject of proffers from City rezoning. 5. [Condition of Approval for Initial Site Plan and 32.7.9.7(a2) &(e)] Screening. The required screening for the adjoining residential lots directly behind the townhomes off - street parking area has been provided on sheet 13; however, it appears that the residential properties (Lot 19 and 21) which are at the end of the paved 2 turn around do not have any screening from the townhomes parking area. Revise landscaping plan to provide the required screening to these lots by extending the double staggered row of dragon lady hollies to conceal the townhome parking area from Lots 19 and 21. The applicant and staff discussed this comment... being they are getting rid of the alley, the screening of the alley is no longer applicable. If the alley is redesigned into the project, on the site plan they will be required to put the required plantings in. The applicant made note of this and said he'd put a landscaping easement over the section of land where the trees would go if the alley was ever back in play. 6. [Comment] On sheet 1, the signature line for the Approval by the Agent for the Board of Supervisors is provided; however, the Agent does not sign road plans. It may be appropriate to take this signature line off of the road plan. NEW COMMENT 7. Per discussions with the applicant the existing road/concrete within the City owned easement fronting TMP 61A -22, 61A -21, 61A -20, 61A -19 will be ripped up and returned back to grass. However this activity is not currently shown on the road plan. The road plan should be revised to show this activity. Also, offsite construction easements will need to be granted prior to this activity taking place. Please contact Christopher P. Perez at the Division of Current Development by using ccperezkalbemarle.org or 434 - 296 -5832 ext. 3443 for further information.

Revisions dated 12/10/13 are for sheets 12 and 13. The revisions on sheet 12 label the "To Structure" for the invert ins of structure 24 on the storm sewer profiles. The revisions on sheet 13 have revised the landscaping plan so that the street trees are spaced in accordance with Appendix B(1) of the Road Design Manual at the intersection of Pen Park Lane and Lochlyn Hill Lane. Two signed copies of each of these revised sheets need to be provided to this office. 2. All previous review comments have been adequately addressed. Subject to the above comments, the road and utility plan for Lochlyn Hill, Phase IA and IB have been found to be in compliance with VDOT standards and specifications and we have no objection to the plans as submitted. At least 48 hours prior to construction beginning, this office needs to be contacted for a preconstruction conference. In addition, at least 48 hour notification shall be provided to this office prior to any requested inspection.

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 /OBSERVATION] The proposed alley, turnaround and landscaping behind the future townhomes lots has been omitted on the revised road plan. Also, the alley design/typical street section for the alley has been omitted from the road plans. Thus the 20' alley easement behind the future townhomes and the landscape screening is not subject of the road plan rather it shall be reviewed at the final site plan for the future townhome lots. As previously discussed the alley turnaround design is dictated by Section 32.7.2.2c: c. Turnarounds. All turnarounds shall have a turning radius required by the standards of the Virginia Department of Transportation. In the case of any private street, the agent may require that at least one sign of a type approved by the county engineer be posted giving notice that the street is not a through street. If the applicant seeks an alternative standard other than that of VDOT, then a waiver request shall be submitted and processed. As previously discussed using Section 32.3.5(b), the agent can approve a waiver or variation of any section in 32.7. The variation shall be processed under Section 32.3.5b(2), through consultation with the County engineer to determine if the turnaround "satisfies the overall purposes of this chapter in a manner equal to or exceeding the desired effects of the requirement.... " Be advised that postponing all review of the alley and turnaround till the final site plan stage of the townhomes, may cause issues to arise if the waiver is not granted, as the setback locations for lots affected by turnaround currently lots 14, 19, and 21 are being plated with the final plat SUB2013 -136. 2. [COMMENT /OBSERVATION] In concert with the above comment /observation, the layout of the alley and turnaround as depicted through setback locations on the road plan does not match that of what is depicted on the final subdivision plat for the 20' Alley Easement. Please be advised the road plan does not dictate setbacks, but to avoid confusion, if shown on the road plan, they shall match the final plat. 3. [COMMENT] On sheet 3, to avoid confusion and assure side yard setback classification on the final plat for Lot 20, the "30' Access Easement" shall be relabeled to match the label on the final subdivision plat: "30' Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Emergency Access Easement". Revise. 4. [COMMENT] On Sheet 6, to avoid confusion, the typical street section for the "Emergency Access/ Pedestrian Access Travelway (30' Private Access Easement) " shall be relabeled to match the final subdivision plat: "30' Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Emergency Access Easement" and "30' Alley Easement ". (If) these two easements are not to utilize the same typical street section, on the road plan provide a typical street section for the "30' Alley Easement. " [COMMENT] On sheet 3 it appears the note for the two 10' strips of property outside the proposed VDOT right of way are mislabeled as "Owned by the City of Charlottesville and Shall be Dedicated to Public Use. " Per discussions from the November 27, 2013 meeting with the owner and surveying team, and the recently resubmitted Final Plat (SUB2013 -136), and the recently submitted Dedication Plat for Parcels Y and Z (SUB2013 -185) it appears that the above statements of ownership and dedication are not accurate. Notably it does not appear that the City owns the two 10' strips of land, nor is the upper 10' strip, or the lower portion 10' strip outside the VDOT right of way (which is a part of Common Area open Space 2) to be dedicated to public use as this time. Revise the note appropriately. 6. [COMMENT] On sheet 3 it appears the note for a portion of the 20' strip owned by the City which is outside the proposed VDOT right of way is mislabeled as "...and Shall be Dedicated to Public Use.

Rather this note appears to be more appropriate for Parcel Y and Z, if that was the intent please revise the arrows of the note to point only to Parcels Y and Z. Revise appropriately. 7. [Comment] Per discussions from the November 27, 2013 meeting with the owner and surveying team Planning staff has prepared and sent out letters to all four (4) property owners who's entrances are affected by the proposed realignment to assure all parties are in agreeance with the changes to their driveways.
