Memorandum
To: Scott Collins
From: Christopher P. Perez, Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: June 21, 2016
Subject: SUB201600097 - Dunlora Overlook - Prelim Plat
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plat 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. [14-233(A)3] When private streets in development areas may be authorized. Two private streets (Varick Street &
Marin Court) are proposed to serve 14 single family detached residential lots. The Agent is not able to authorize these
private streets; rather, they require Planning Commission authorization. Submit the required private street request along
with the required justification. In anticipation of the request I've reviewed the ordinance and find no applicable
justification which would support why these two streets should be approved as private streets. It is advisable they be
revised to public streets.
2. [14-302(A)15] The owner information provided for the parcel does not match that shown in County real estate records;
verify that accurate owner information is provided.
3. [14-302(A)4&5] Easements. Provide deed book and page references for all existing easements.
4. [14-302(A)8] Proposed lots. Provide the dimensions for each lot.
5. [14-203B(8), 4.6.3(a)] Shared Driveways. Lots which utilize a shared driveway easement shall establish the primary
structure at least ten (10) feet from the edge of the shared driveway easement. Depict, label, and dimension this setback
from the shared driveway easement.
6. (14-303(E)] Shared Driveways. If the shared driveway easement is to remain, the easement holder(s) shall be identified
on the plat. If shared driveways are shown, a note shall be added to the plat stating that maintenance shall be by the
owners of the lots affected by the shared driveway easement, not by the Virginia Department of Transportation or the
county.
7. [14-302, 14-303(D)] Acreage. On sheet 1, under general notes, land areas provided only add up to 7.67 acres, what is
happening to the other 0.88 acres of the site? Revise the land areas to account for acreage of the entire site.
8. [14-302(A)12, 30.71 Steep Slopes Overlay District. Throughout the plan label the slopes onsite (preserved and
managed slopes).
9. 114-302(A)12, 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 provides a note on sheet 1, which states
that new topographic information shall be provided. County Engineer sign -off on this topographic information is
required prior to final site plan approval.
10. [14-302(B)5, 4.7(c)3] Open Space. A minimum of twenty five (25) percent of the site shall be open space. Not more
than eighty (80) percent of the minimum required open space shall consist of the following: preserved slopes and land
devoted to stormwater management facilities. The open space provided does not appear to meet this requirement. Prior
to final site plan and/or subdivision plat approval provide a chart on the plans to verify the amount of open space
outside of preserved slopes and land devoted to stormwater management facilities is at least 20% of the required open
space provided.
11. [14-302(B)51 Zoning. Revise the zoning to include Airport Impact Area (AIA). Also, revise the zoning provided on the
existing conditions sheet to R-4 & AIA.
12. [14-302(A)3] Existing orplatted streets. Provide the State Route Number 1177 for Dunlora Drive.
13. 114-302(A)14, 14-303(G)] Dedication of open space. Provide the following note: "Open Space is hereby dedicated to
the HOA. "
14. [14-302(B)8, 15.3, 4.191 Setbacks. Non-infill lots - 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. "
15. [14-302(B)8,15.3, 4.191 Setbacks. The setbacks for the development, even the 2 lots currently proposed on Rio Road,
are non-infill setbacks. Remove the "infill setback" label from the plan.
16. [32.5.2(n), 32.7.2.3, 144221 Sidewalks & planting strips. Provide sidewalks and landscaping strip along the entire
frontage of the property (along Dunlora Drive and Rio Road).
17. 132.5.2(i), 32.5.2(n), 32.7.2.3,14-422] Sidewalks & planting strips. Provide the required planting strip and sidewalk on
the Marin Court cul-de-sac. To request a variation or exception to this requirement please make the official request
with the subdivision plat pursuant to Section 14422(E), 14-422(F) & 14-203.1. Be advised that I find no justification
in the ordinance which would support these required improvements to be omitted.
18. [32.5.2(i), 32.5.2(n), 32.7.2.3, 14-4221 Planting strips. Revise the labeling of the planting strip fronting Lot 26. It
currently points to the front setback of the property.
19. 114-302(A)13, 32.5.1(c)] An offsite sanitary sewer easement is required on TMP 62F-C owned by Robert Hauser

22. [32.7.2.11 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 entrances to the site
shall be required prior to final site plan and/or final subdivision plat approval.
23. [14-302(A)3] Existing orplatted streets. Provide the right-of-way width of State Route 631.

SDP -2016-00028 Dunlora Overlook — Initial Site Plan
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the preliminary plat and initial site plan for Dunlora Overlook, dated May 9,
2016, as submitted by Collins Engineering, and offer the following comments.
1. Please show correct intersection sight distance lines for the Dunlora DriveNarick Street
intersection. The speed limit on Dunlora Drive is 35 mph, therefore requires 390 sight
distance lines.
2. The CG -12's at the intersection with Dunlora Drive should be perpendicular to the
Varick Street. They can be in the radii, but should be directed across Varick Street, not
towards Dunlora Drive.
3. Please provide more detail/ additional survey along Dunlora Drive; need to show existing
sidewalk/curb & gutter tying into the proposed sidewalk\ CG -6. Additionally please
show more detail regarding storm drainage at the entrance.
4. VDOT would like to shift the entrance to Dunlora Drive off Rio Road further from the
Rio/John Warner Pkwy intersection, and would like to discuss incorporating this into this
plan.
5. Is the intention for Lots 30 & 31 to construct entrances onto route 631 Rio Road? If so
please provide more detail, e.g. entrance design, sight distance.
6. Please add Road name, route number, speed Iimit and right of way width to all public
roads shown in the plans.
7. Please add the VDOT standard WP -2 to plans and show the required mill and overlay on
Dunlora Dr.
8. PIease add right and left turn lane warrant analysis to the plans.
9. Please add a sight distance profile to the plans.

Ellie,
I didn't get info on this site until a couple of days ago, so I know I missed the deadline for comments. Alexander
Morrison with ACSA informed me that there is are multiple proposed connections to an RWSA water main for the site.
RWSA wishes to review future submissions of the initial site plan (if any) and the final site plan submission for this
development before any connections will be allowed. I can pass this along to the developer if you like, unless you'd
prefer to let them know through the county.
Thanks,
Victoria
