Memorandum
To: Scott Collins
From: Christopher P. Perez, Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: August 4, 2016
Subject: SUB201600120 Belvedere Phase 4A - Preliminary Subdivision Plat
Fax 434-972-4126
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. [ZMA2004-7] Split zoning. Staff strongly recommends against creating split zoned lots. It's recommended that the
final plat and final site plan be modified to develop single zoned lots. The lots which need to be omitted from the
plat/site plan or modified out of split zoning are lots 232, 231, 226, 227, and lot 225. Lots 209 — 220 and Lot 228 are
sufficient as proposed being the split zoning does not impact the proposed buildings. Please assure the proposed
buildings are outside of the NMD area.
If split zoned lots are not sufficiently modified out of split zoning then the split zoned lots with buildings in NMD
zoned land shall be counted towards the NMD unit counts. The plan and plat must demonstrate the proposed uses,
setbacks, and code of development standards can be met in each district for the lots created. The zoning, proposed use,
and density on the cover page must be updated to provide this information. A table shall be provided to indicate an
accounting of open space, density, etc.
2. [14-302(B)8] Yards. Per our discussion at the beginning of the project, please revise the building site note sheet 1 to
omit the portion which reads: "Lots 118-121, 57, and 58 are future lots in this section which are still zoned R-4... " as
it was explained this note is a carryover from a previous iteration of the plan and is no longer applicable.
3. [14-302(A)31 Existing or platted streets. Access to Mr. Jacob Levenson's property (TMP 62-2A) shall be maintained
throughout the entire project. What is proposed for the existing driveway access easement (DB 3595-55)? Is it being
vacated?
4. [14-311] Infrastructure improvement plans. All infrastructure required to construct phase 4A shall be review,
approved, and built or bonded before the final plat and/or final site plan can be approved. This includes all offsite
improvements required to serve the development, including road plans, WPO plan, water and sewer connections which
are part of phase 2B.
5. [SP2007-54 condition of approval #6, 32.5.2(b),] Soccer field parking. The applicant shall demonstrate as a
condition of final site plan approval that the on-site parking provided for the use, including on-site on -street parking,
is adequate for the proposed use. The project limits do not include the area proposed for the soccer field as approved in
SP2007-54; however, the on street parking along Belvedere Boulevard is required parking for the use. Revise parking
calculations to designate and account for the on street parking provided to the soccer field use. Also, dimension the
required on street parking spaces for the soccer field. It is suggested on street parking be provided fronting lots 233 -
241 to help get the development to the required 65 spaces needed for the soccer field. If on street parking can be
accommodated on Fowler Street, it is suggested such parking be provided as well.
6. [32.5.2(n), 4.12.6,14-4101 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). Depict,
label, and dimension the required guest spaces. Provide the guest spaces with some type of identification (sign or paint
striping).
7. [14-302(A)4&5] Private & public easements. The Rivanna Trail head and portions of the trail are currently located on
the subject property. On the site plan depict its current location and where the trail head will be relocated. Is there an
easement for the existing trail? Per discussions with the property owner there is a written agreement with the Rivanna
Trail which allows the trail to be located on the property until the property owner no longer allows it to be on the
property. Provide this documentation for review/verification prior to approval of the final site plan/final plat.
8. [14-302(A)2] Vicinity map. The subdivision is a phased subdivision, revise the vicinity map to depict all other phases
of the subdivision for which a final plat has been approved, in detail adequate to describe the location of the property
without field review. Also, label and depict phase 2B as it is required to be approved prior to the approval of phase 4A.
Also, provide existing property lines in phase 4A.
9. [14-302(A)2] Phasing. The phasing note on sheet 1 states that lots 231 and 232 are to be developed in phase 2;
however, those lots are part of this plat/site plan and are included in phase 4A. Remove/revise this note.
10. [14-303F] Identification ofsections, blocks, and lots. On the final plat provide a current phasing plan.
11. [Comment] The street sections provided in the site plan shall match those in the approved road plans (once submitted,
reviewed, and approved).
12. 114-302(B)8, 4.191 Yards. In addition to visually depicting the setbacks on the plan on sheet 1 provide the setbacks in a
chart.

13. [14-236(c), 14-410] 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.
14. 114-236, 14-303(E)] Alleys. On the plan provide a note that states no public agency, including VDOT, and the County
of Albemarle will be responsible for maintaining the alleys. Provide information on whether the alleys in phase 4A will
be maintained by the Belvedere HOA or by a separate HOA. Please work with Planning, Engineering, and Fire/Rescue
to establish approvable alley widths.
15. [14-302(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. Disturbance of preserved slopes is prohibited. The plan
provides a note on sheet 1, which states that portions of the preserved slopes are to be impacted upon completion of
field run topography. County Engineer sign -off on this topographic information is required prior to final site plan
approval.
16. [14-302(A)8, 14-302(A)31 Proposed lots. To clearly distinguish the project limits for phase 4A remove lot
designations/labels from all lots in phase 213, further subdue phase 213, and label phase 2B "approved under separate
cover" throughout the plans.
17. [14-302(A)8] Proposed lots. Provide the acreages for the residue of each parcel. The residue acreage shall also be
provided in a chart on the cover sheet.
18. [14-302(B)6] Tax map and parcel number. Revise the existing conditions sheet to correctly label TMP 62-2A,
currently it is incorrectly labeled as "TMP 62-213 (portion)".
19. [14-302(A)3] Existing orplatted streets. Revise the labeling of Fowler Street to "proposed" public street, as this road is
not existing.

alleys as either public or private. Provide directional arrows on each alley to signify one way or two way traffic. Also,
