Memorandum
To: Scott Collins (scott@collins-engineering.com)
From: Paty Saternye, Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: August 4, 2016
Subject: SUB 201600119 Belvedere Phase IIB — Preliminary Subdivision Plan
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will approve 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.]
[COD] Provide a comparison with approved rezoning table that shows the maximum & minimum residential
densities. Tables 1 & 2 from the most recent Code of Development (As Revised: July 22, 2014) must be
provided on the subdivision plat and expanded upon to provide information comparing the approved zoning
with what has already been built, what has been platted but not built, what is being proposed in this
subdivision plat (labeled as "Belvedere Phase IIB Proposed'), and the total number of units remaining for
each block. The deed book and page number must be provided in the chart for what has already been built
and what has been platted but not yet built. This table must include all of Belvedere, be broken down by
block, and have totals. Please refer to SUB201400178 Belvedere Phase IIA -2 Final Subdivision Plat, Sheet
No. V2, for an example. The proposed lots for this subdivision plat, when added to the previously platted
lots, must meet the minimum and not exceed the maximums for Blocks 4, 7 and 9.
2. [COD] This proposal exceeds the maximum approvable number of lots in Block 7; this plat brings the total
number of Block 7 lots to 36. The COD maximum is 34. A variation request must be submitted and
approved for this change or the number of proposed lots must be reduced to not exceed the block
maximum.
3. [COD] The table specified above must also include the same categories of information on carriage house
units. The "Development Density" information on the submitted subdivision plat must include a "Remaining
Allowable Carriage Units" and a "Proposed Carriage Units" column that agree with the carriage house
information provided in the expanded Tables 1 & 2 from the COD specified above. In Block 7, although the
"Remaining Allowable Carriage Units" should be 0-12 the "Proposed Carriage Units" would be 0-7 because
there are only 7 lots proposed in that Block (if a variation is requested and approved as specified in
comment #2 above).
4. [14-302(A)14 & COD] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved/green space and amenities (Table 4).
Provide a table that includes all of the information from Table 4 Green Space Tabulation in the most recent
Code of Development (As Revised: July 22, 2014), as the 'Approved with Rezoning', and that also specifies
what has already been provided & platted, what is proposed with Phase IIB, the difference from the
rezoning, and totals for all of Belvedere. Provide the deed book and page number for the open spaces
provide and platted. Refer to SUB201400178 Belvedere Phase IIA -2 Final Subdivision Plat, Sheet No. V1,
for an example. Additionally, the total Open Space number provided in the Notes section of the cover sheet
should match the sum of the numbers listed in the provided table.
5. [Proffer 3.1] 25% open space proffer. If the 'Platted' columns in Table 4 indicates that many areas of open
space from Blocks previously developed have not been provided account for any areas not yet provided.
6. [14-302(A)14 & COD] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved/green space and amenities (Table 4). The
conservation area shown on the Application Plan in Block 9 next to the road connection to the adjacent
property is required. This open space must have a minimum width of 20'. It must also be 0.73 acres or
greater or a variation must be requested.
7. [14-302(A)14 & COD] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved/green space and amenities (Table 4).
Update the "LOTS:" information on the cover sheet to match the Open Space table specified above and to
include the conservation area between Lot 201 and the right of way for the future road extension.
8. [14-302(A)14 & COD] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved/green space and amenities (Table 4). See
the comments from Zoning. Include the two open spaces on the corners adjacent to Lot 39 and Lot 48 in
this subdivision plat since they are open spaces within Block 4, are part of the parcels you are subdividing,
and this subdivision plat is the last within the NMD for Block 4. Adjust the line for the "project area" so that it
includes these corner open spaces, including the full size of the open space between Lots 48 & 160.
9. [14-302(6)8 and COD] Yards. If any of the proposed lots in Block 9 are reduced to less than 60' width, in
response to comment # 6 above, then they will no longer meet the requirement of Block 9 for 60 + lot widths
(see the bottom of page 8 in the COD). If one or more of the lot widths in Block 9 are reduced to below 60'
a variation to the COD will be required. The current proposed preliminary subdivision plat will bring the
number of lots in Block 9 to the minimum required in Table 2 of the COD (page 6). Therefore, removing one
of the lots in order to provide the required open space, mentioned in comment #6, instead of reducing the lot
widths would reduce the density of Block 9 to below that allowed in the COD and therefore it would require a
variation.
10. [14-302(B)8 and COD] Yards. If any of the proposed lots in Block 9 are reduced to 60' width or less, in
response to comments #6 above, update their build -to and setback lines to those appropriate for the smaller
width lots.
11. [14-302(B)8 and COD] Yards. Corner lots require front build -to lines on two sides of the parcel. Update
the front build -to lines and side setbacks for Lots 41, 42, 45, 46, 50, 51, 54, 55, and 202. Lot 201 will not be
a corner lot once the Open Space/Conservation Area, as shown in the ZMA drawings, between Lot 201 and
the future road connection is provided.
12. [14-302(B)8 and COD] Yards. Label the side setbacks on lots in Block 9, as well as Lots 46 and 55, as
these are different than what is required for the other lots.
13. [14-302(8)8 and COD] Yards. Adjust the rear setback for Lot 202 such that it is setback from the alley
right of way. The rear setback line appears to not follow the edge of the alley at the intersection of the alley
and Farrow Drive.
14. [COD] Two different sections have been provided for Belvedere Blvd. One of them is adjacent to the
Village Green and has a median. The other is farther away from the Village Green and does not have a
median. Although the ZMA drawings do show the median ending just past the Village Green, neither of
these road sections match those that are provided in the COD. Also, the plan views of Belvedere Blvd do
not match the two street sections provided for it. Work with Engineering, Fire/Rescue, and VDOT to
establish approvable road widths and road sections and ensure that the road sections match the roads
shown in the plan views. Any differences from the COD, other than an increased in pavement width to
satisfy comments from the SRC reviewer, must be approved through a variation. Also, see comment # 16
below.
15. [COD] The "F/C-F/C" and "R/W" widths shown in both of the Belvedere Blvd street sections do not match
the sum of the widths of the individual components shown in the sections. Update the sections so that they
include all required portions of the road, including parking, and so that the dimensions shown accurately
represent the width of the proposed road.
16. [COD] SP2007-54 was approved with conditions for on -street parking to support the SOCA facility
proposed with that application. One of the conditions was to provide street widths to accommodate on -
street parking as approved by Engineering. Work with Engineering, Fire/Rescue, and VDOT to establish
approvable road widths and road sections. Any differences from the COD, other than an increased in
pavement width to satisfy comments from the SRC reviewer, must be approved through a variation.
17. [COD] In the COD the sections for streets H & I appear to change as they cross Belvedere Boulevard. The
portion to the east is specified on page 33 and another section is specified on page 34. Therefore, two
sections will very likely be required for each of these streets. There is a road section in the previously
approved Road Plan for Phase IIA (SUB201200152) for streets H & I (Barnett Street & Shelton Street) on
the east side of the Boulevard that was approved with variation #48 (October 19, 2016). The lines of the
table, that appear to designate the street sections for streets H & I to the west of Belvedere Blvd, specify
parking on both sides of the road. Road sections for these streets must be approved by Engineering,
Fire/rescue, and VDOT. Work with each of them to establish approvable road widths and sections. Any
differences from the COD, other than an increased in pavement width to satisfy comments from the SRC
reviewer, must be approved through a variation.
18. [COD] Roads and alleys not within the NMD area were not approved with ZMA2004-7. The extension of
the private alley beyond the NMD boundary requires approval since it is a type of "Private Street". Private
alleys can be approved by the agent administratively in the development area if street frontage exists, or will
be provided, for all lots to be served by the alley (14-236 B.). Provide information which shows that no
public agency, including the Virginia Department of Transportation and the County of Albemarle will be
responsible for maintaining the alley. Provide information on whether this extension will be maintained by
the Belvedere HOA. If not provide information on who will be maintaining the road and associated
maintenance agreements. Work with Planning, Engineering, and Fire/Rescue to establish approvable alley
widths and sections.
19. [Comment] Rename the street sections and update their descriptions so that it is clear which sections
apply to which portions of the streets and that roads not included in the submission are no longer listed.
20. [Comment] Use the road and alley letter designations indicated in the Code of Development in addition to
street names for ease of review on all sheets.
21. [COD] Provide a section for Farrow Drive (Road D).
22. [14-302(A)6] Alleys and shared driveways. Fix the text for the alley to the west of Belvedere Blvd. The
name for the alley is not consistent on some sheets, is not provided on other sheets, and the text for the
name or description is obscured by the block boundary line on more than one sheet.
23. [14-302(A)3] Existing or platted streets. Clearly label streets as either existing or proposed on all sheets.
Provide the widths of all existing streets on all sheets. Provide the letter designations for all streets and
alleys.
24. [14-302(A)4&5] Private & public easements. Provide the location and dimensions of all existing and
proposed private and public easements. Existing easements should be labeled with the appropriate DB and
PG reference. Proposed easements should be labeled with the intended holder. Show the existing
easements on the adjoining property that are, or will be, connecting to the onsite existing and proposed
easements.
25. [14-302(A)4 & COD] Private easements. When a side setback of less than 4'11" is used, a 6' maintenance
easement shall be recorded on all properties adjacent to the side setback of less than 4'11".
26. [14-302(A)9] Building sites on proposed lots. Update the "Building Sites:" note to specify that the residue of
parcels TMP 62A3-1, 62-2A1 & 61-160 all contain a building site which complies with the CODE.
27. [14-302(A)12] Topography. GIS indicates the presence of small areas of 'managed steep slopes' on the
property, revise Note 3 on sheet 2 to reflect this information and show the areas on the plat.
28. [14-302(B)1] General Information. Change the "Sheet No." on the fifth sheet to be "5" instead of "7".
29. [14-302(B)5] Zoning Classification. The variation dates should be updated to reflect those most recently
approved, including 10-19-12 for variation #45 which directly affected the open spaces in Blocks 7 & 9.
30. [14-302(B)5] Zoning Classification. Under "Zoning:" on the coversheet add block 9 to the "Note:".
31. [Proffer 5.1] Overlot grading plan proffer. The overlot grading plan proffer must be satisfied for this phase
prior to Final Plat approval.
32. [Comment] Adjust the text between the title for Table 9 and the table itself, on the cover sheet, so that it is
at a scale that is able to be read.
33. [Comment] Address all of the attached Site Review Committee (SRC) comments. See the attached
comments from zoning, engineering, Inspections, fire/rescue, E911, VDOT, and ACSA. Contact the
individual reviewer if you have any questions or require additional information. See the cover sheet for their
contact information.
34. [14-303] Contents of final plat. A plat meeting all the requirements for final subdivision plats per the
subdivision ordinanc .

-Section 4.16.3.3 applies to amenities required by the Code of Development for Belvedere_ Based on this
ordinance section, amenities for Block 4 (page 11 of Code of Development) and other blocks must be
completed when fifty (50) percent of the units have received certificates of occupancy for that Block_ For
blocks recently platted, amenity plans were provided and amenities bonded_ (refer to process that was used
for SUB 14-178 and SUB 14-88)_ We may want to discuss the process needed for the required amenities in
Block 4 given that they are not under all control of this developer, but property owned by SOCA now_ This of
the ordinance that can be waived or modified by the Board through the special exception process since
Belvedere is a Planned District_ This is an option should the developer seek amenity substitutions or want to
modify the deadline for when amenities must be complete-
-The open space and density tables that were established with prior approvals (SUB 14-178 and SUB 14-88)
should be used with lot counts by block updated_ This will aid in informing when the amenities must be
completed for each block-
-There are still active zoning violation cases in Belvedere and ongoing enforcement action because the Village
Green and Block 2 amenities have not been completed_ This will not affect plat approval but could impact
future building permits if not abated
