Subject: SUB201600133 Dunlora Phase 3B Lots 1 thru 5 — Final Subdivision Plat
Fax 434-972-4126
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plan 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.]
Conditions of Preliminary Approval (from approval letter dated 9/29/15):
[Comment] This letter contains comments on both the Initial Site Development Plan and Preliminary Plat
applications, as many comments apply to both. All applicable code references may not be cited for each
comment; please ask for clarification on which comments apply to which application if necessary.
Revl : Comment still valid.
Final: This letter may include some plat related comments from the Initial Plan and Preliminary Plat
conditional approval letter, but only a Final Site Plan has been submitted so this application has only been
reviewed for Final Site Plan requirements.
Final Revl : Comment still valid.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment chanced. This letter includes some Final Site Plan related
comments from previous submissions. The current application has only been reviewed for the Final
Subdivision Plat requirements. Comments from previous submissions, that only apply to the Final
Site Plan and do not apply to this Final Subdivision Plat submission, will be noted as such.
2. t32.5.11b)] The Final Site plan shall be submitted at 20 or 30 scale; many of the lines are difficult to
decipher at 40 scale.
Rev1: Comment still valid.
Final: Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment does not need to be addressed. Comment.:] ied to Final Site
Plan oqlKand does not need to be addressed in the Final Subdivision Plat.
3. [32.5.1(b)] Provide a matchline on sheet 2.
Revl : Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment Addressed. Matchlines are not necessary for this Final
Subdivision Plat submission. a
4. [32.5.2(a)] Provide all boundary dimensions; some are missing. Clearly show the boundary lines, many are
difficult to see with different lines and line types overlapping.
Rev1: Comment still valid.
Final: Comment not fully addressed. Some boundary information is still missing and several boundaries are
different than those shown on the Initial Plan; ensure all boundary lines are accurate and properly
dimensioned.
Final Revl : Comment still valid. Some boundary information is still missing.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment addressed.
5. [32.5.2(a), 14-302 (A)(5) & 14-302 (A)(14)] Clarify the differences in the boundary information from what is
shown in GIS. GIS and County Real Estate records appear to show that the 'area reserved for future
meadowcreek parkway' on TMP 62F-El was actually dedicated (see DB 3543 PB 225); provide
documentation that this area was not dedicated or remove it from the plat. If abandonment of dedicated
right-of-way is desired, the County will review your proposal (once requested) and advise on how much
area, if any, can be abandoned.
Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. The dedicated area has been removed from the plan; however, the
acreages provided for the two subject parcels in the Notes section do not match that provided in GIS (3.13
acre total acreage in GIS; plan states 3.35 acres) or the parcel labels. Please verify and provide accurate
acreage for the parcels included in this plan. Any reduction in site area below 3.34 acres will result in a
reduction of dwelling units allowed.
Final: Comment not fully addressed. A portion of what is shown on this Site Plan is now an addition to a
previous subdivision (Dunlora 3A). Reference to this subdivision and the improvements shown in support of
the proposed subdivision lots should be removed from this Site Plan application. Additionally, a portion of
the acreage used for this Site Plan (9 townhouses) was included in that previous subdivision; TMP62F-El
and TMP62F-E2 were both included in the acreage for Dunlora 3A and are listed in CAMA records as
reserved area and emergency access easement supporting Dunlora 3A. Before this site plan can be
approved, a subdivision application (boundary line adjustment) must be submitted and approved that
transfers the necessary acreage from Dunlora 3A to this Site Plan. The plat must show that Dunlora 3A will
still have the necessary acreage to support the number of existing lots shown on the previously approved
plat. The application may include the subdivision of the five proposed lots shown on this application but it
isn't required.
Final Rev1: Comment not addressed. This is a Site Plan Application for the Villas at Belvedere only; as
previously requested, all reference to the Dunlora subdivision, the lots themselves, and any improvements
that support the subdivision must be removed from this site plan. The boundary line adjustment exhibit
submitted contains several mistakes; an actual boundary line adjustment plat must be submitted that
correctly references all of the transfers of acreage between the subject parcels. The boundary line
adjustment cannot create any noncontiguous parcels. The boundary line adjustment plat must be approved
before the site plan can be approved.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment not fully addressed. Address the following:
a) The Final Subdivision Plat does not include the information that was provided on the Final
Site Plan in reference to density, open space, etc. No reference has been made on this plat
to Dunlora 3A, whether the combined Dunlora 3A and 36 subdivisions will meet code
requirements and whether once combined they will still have the necessary acreage of open
space to support the number of existing and proposed lots. Include information on the plat
that shows the number of existing Dunlora 3A dwelling units, the approved open space
calculations for Dunlora 3A, calculations that include the addition of the 5 new lots and the
changes to area of the development and its open space. Ensure that the calculations still
meet all minimum requirements and the 25% open space requirement for cluster
developments.
b) A Boundary Line Adjustment has been included in this Final Subdivision Plat. However, no
information has been provided, as specified above, on the impact of removing portions of
TMP62F-El and all of TMP62F-E2 from the Dunlora 3A development. Provide calculations for
the combination of Dunlora 3A and 3B and the removal of portions of Dunlora 3A from the
development.
c) A separate Easement Plat was submitted for the required emergency access easement for
Dunlora 3A that will cross TMP 62F-E2 and portions of TMP62F-El and TMP 61-154B.
However, that submittal has been withdrawn and a new version is expected to be submitted
that addresses the issues outlined in the demand letter sent by the Director of Community
Development on June 29, 2016 and discussed with the owner on August 8, 2016. Approval
and recordation of the new Emergency Access Easement Plat, as well as the update of this
boundary line adiustment and subdivision plat to match the approved easement plat, is
required before this Final Subdivision Plat can be approved.
6. [32.5.2(a)] Show all areas reserved for future meadowcreek parkway; the portion on TMP 61-154B is
missing, and there appears to be an additional area shown on TMP 62F-El on the plat recorded in DB 3543
PG 225.
Rev1: Comment still valid; "Future Dedication" areas are not shown.
Final: Comment not fully addressed. A strip from Shepherd's Ridge to Rio Road was also reserved; show
this area on the plan.
Final Rev1: Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment addressed.
7. (32.5.2(a) and U-404] A variation/special exception of section 14-404 will be necessary to develop this
project as proposed (see section 14-404(B) & (D) and section 14-203.1). Submit an application for a special
exception and list it, if approved, on the Cover Sheet.
Rev1: Comment still valid.
Final: Comment still valid; this special exception shall be submitted with the subdivision application
referenced in comment #5.
Final Rev1: Comment may still be valid. If the boundary line adjustment plat referenced above is submitted
and approved, and the two projects (Dunlora 3A and Villas at Belvedere) are separated as required, an
exception to 14-404 will no longer be required.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment addressed.
8. [32.5.2(a), 14-302(B)(8), 14-401 & 4.19] Provide the correct setbacks and yards in both written and graphic
form. See section 4.19 for new setback and yard regulations. Verify your proposed layout meets new
setback and yard requirements.
Rev1: Comment still valid. The new setback regulations contain different standards for infill and non-infill
parcels. They also have maximum setbacks and garage setbacks. It appears that this project may include
a mix of infill and non-infill lots; please consult with Zoning to determine which setbacks apply and verify that
the proposed layout meets all setback and yard requirements. If lots on Shepherds Ridge Road are
determined to be infill, some may be unbuildable as proposed due to required setbacks.
Final: Comment not addressed. The maximum setback for the townhouses is 25'; list this requirement and
show the line on the plan. Several of the proposed buildings do not meet this maximum setback. Make
sure all setback and yard requirements are met. As noted above, the subdivision lots proposed in Dunlora
are not being reviewed with this application.
Final Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. Lot 4 has two "fronts"; add the minimum and maximum front
setback to the Belvedere Blvd frontage. As noted above, the subdivision lots proposed in Dunlora are not
being reviewed with this application.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment not fully addressed. Lots 4 and 5 (as labeled in this Final
Subdivision Plat) will be double frontage lots and will require landscaping or an exception. The
definition of Double Frontage Lot is "... an interior lot having frontage on two streets or frontage on
one street and less than twenty (20) feet of common area between the rear of the lot and the second
street, and having a depth of less than three hundred fifty (350) feet." There seems to be as little as
2'/2' between Lot 5 and the right-of-way for Belvedere Boulevard. Double frontage lots are
prohibited but may be "varied or excepted by the agent" as provided in section 14-203.1. Either
modify the lot configurations such that none of the lots are double frontage lots, provide the
following listed items or request an exception to 14-401.
a) Submit an exhibit with the plat that shows how the double frontage lots will be screened
from Belvedere Blvd.
b) Show a landscaping easement for the required screening planting area. The minimum width
of vegetative screening area is 20'. A vegetative screening area would not be allowed within
the 20' drainage and/or utility easement proposed at the back of the lots.
c) Ensure, before submittal for review, that the HOA agreement has language that specifically
states the maintenance of "landscaping easements".
d) Bond the landscaping that will be required within the screening area.
[32.5.2(a) & 4.6.4] Provide the correct rear and side yards; the rear and side yards are measured from the
edge of the alley easement.
Rev1: Comment still valid. See comment above.
Final: Comment not fully addressed. The rear setback for lots 2&3 should be measured from the edge of
the shared driveway easement.
Final Rev1: Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment addressed.
10. [32.5.2(a)] Provide the owners, zoning district, TMP and present uses of all abutting parcels. At least one,
TMP 62G-01-A, is missing.
Rev1: Comment still valid. TMP 62G-01-A is still not labeled. TMP 61-158 appears to be mislabeled.
Final: Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment addressed.
11. [32.5.2(b) & 14-303 (D)] Clarify the acreage occupied by lots; the square footage information listed for each
lot, in sum, does not equal the total acreage provided in the "land areas" breakdown.
Rev1: Comment still valid. Areas provided in "land areas" breakdown still don't match those shown on the
Plan.
Final: Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment addressed.
12. [32.5.2(b), 14-302 (A)(14), 2.2.3, and 4.7] In order to qualify as a cluster development, a minimum of 25%
open space that meets the requirements listed in section 4.7 must be provided. Areas in paved parking,
private alley and emergency access do not meet this definition. Additionally, the dedicated right-of-way must
be removed from this area. Demonstrate that 25% open space is provided.
Rev1: Comment still valid. The entire Open Space B is labeled as 0.20 acre. If the parking, alley,
emergency access, etc. have been removed from the open space that meets the definition for cluster
development there should be two different numbers provided; one for the entire open space parcel and one
for the area of open space that meets the definition. The boundaries of the area that meet the definition for
cluster development should also be identified.
Final: Comment not addressed. As indicated above, provide two open space numbers; one for the entire
open space parcel and one for the area of open space that meets the definition for cluster development.
The boundaries of the area that meet the definition for cluster development should also be clearly identified.
Final Rev1: Comment not addressed. Provide two open space numbers; one for the entire open space
parcel and one for the area of open space that meets the definition for cluster development. Open space
areas B and D do not meet the definition for cluster development as they both contain emergency access
areas.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment not addressed. No information has been provided in the Final
subdivision Plat on how the Cluster Development requirements are being met. See comment 5.a.
13. [32.5.2(b) and 15.4.1] In order to qualify for the "Environmental Standards" bonus factor you must
demonstrate that the wooded area being preserved meets the definition of 'wooded area' as provided in
section 3. A conservation plan and checklist must also be provided. List the area preserved on the Cover
Sheet.
Rev1: Comment still valid. A tree survey will be required; see the definition of "wooded area". As noted, a
conservation plan and checklist will also be required.
Final: Comment not fully addressed. While a density bonus is no longer proposed on this site plan, a
portion of existing wooded area is preserved to meet the tree canopy requirement; see comments below.
Final Rev1: Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment addressed if no "Environmental Standards" bonus factor is to be
utilized with this Final Subdivision Plat.
14. [32.5.6(b)] Provide information regarding where parking is provided on individual lots. If driveways will
provide the required parking, dimension all driveways to show two parking spaces are provided.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment does not need to be addressed. Comment applied to Final Site
Plan only and does not need to be addressed in the Firial Subdivision Plat.
15. [32.5.2(f) & 14-302(B)7] Revise the watershed note to indicate this parcel is not in a water supply
protection area.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment Addressed.
16. [32.5.2(i) & 14-30VA)6] Label and dimension the shared driveway serving lots 3 and 4. An access
easement will be required across lots 2 and 3.
Rev1: Comment still valid. An access easement will also be needed on Lot 5.
Final: Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Flat: Comment does not need to be addressed. Comment applied to Final Site
Plan only and does not need to be addressed in the Final Subdivision Flat.
17. [32.5.2(1)] Access aisles for 9' wide parking must be 24' in width. The alley is shown at 20' wide; either
widen the alley to 24' or widen the parking spaces to 10'.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Plat_ Comment does not need to be addressed. Comment apglied ►o Final Site
Flan gnly and does not need to be addressed in the Final Subdivision Plat.
18. [32.5.2(i) & 14-302(A)6] Please clarify the extents of the relocated emergency access easement, it is
difficult to tell exactly where it's located and how far it extends into the proposed development. This
emergency access was a Planning Commission imposed requirement of the Dunlora 3A Rivercrest
subdivision. The Planning Commission will be notified of this relocation on their consent agenda.
Rev1: Comment still valid. The easement location still isn't clear. Additionally, it will need to extend to
Belvedere Blvd to allow potential users access to the private alley for egress.
Final: Comment not addressed. The emergency access that was a planning commission imposed
requirement has been removed from the plan and replaced with an accessway that does not provide access
to Dunlora 3A. This application must provide the access regardless of the possibility of Dunlora V providing
the access as that plan may never be constructed. Show the emergency access as it was shown on the
approved Initial Site Plan. The Planning Commission will be notified of this relocation on their consent
agenda. If an alternate emergency access is later constructed, the plan can be amended to remove this
connection.
Final Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. An easement is required across the portion of the emergency
access on TMP 61-154B; while an easement is noted across the grass paver portion of the access, the
easement should extend over the private alley portion and should not be 'owned' by the HOA (the HOA will
own the land, so the same entity should not hold the easement). Additionally, the County sent a demand for
the existing emergency access easement to be dedicated to public use on February 18, 2016. This plan
proposes vacation of a portion of this easement and shows improvements in the easement; a meeting will
likely be necessary to resolve this issue. As noted previously, if the emergency access is ultimately
relocated, the Planning Commission will be notified of the relocation.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment not fully addressed. The 20' wide emergency access easement
proposed through the New TMP 61-154B does not meet the requirements specified in the demand
letter sent to the owner on June 29, 2016. See comment # 5.c.
19. t.32.5.2(i) 8, 14-302(A)6] Clarify the extents of the alley easement; the label says 22' but it appears to
include the guest parking area.
Rev1: Comment still valid. Easement lines still not clear.
Final: Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment does not need to be addressed. Comment lied to Final Site
Plan only and does not need to be addressed in the Final Subdivision Flat.
20. [32.5.2(i)] Provide the state route numbers for all existing streets.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment Addressed.
21. [32.5.2(i), 14-302 (A)(5), 14-302 (A)(13) & 14-303 (L)] All off -site easements are required to be in place
prior to Final Site Plan approval.
Rev1: Comment still valid.
Final: Comment still valid. This includes the off -site sewer connection.
Final Rev1: Comment still valid.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment not vet addressed. There seems to be no information provide in
the Final Subdivision Plat on the location of the existing water and sewer easement that will be
servicing this development. Provide on the Final Subdivision Plat the location of the existing
sanitary sewer easements and lines and the location of all off -site easement that will be required to
connect to public sanitary sewer lines.
22. [32.5.2(i) & 14-302 (A)(5)] Clarify if an easement is needed on TMP 62F-313; it is noted that the existing
driveway will tie in to the widened emergency access, but no easement is shown.
Rev1: Comment still valid. Easement lines still not clear.
Final: Comment still valid; when the emergency access is added back to the plan, make sure all easement
lines are clear.
Final Rev1: Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment not vet fully addressed. See comment # 5.c. The most recent
submission of the Emergency access easement plat shows an easement which extends
approximately 24' into proposed Lot #1.
23. [32.5.e(i)] Show the, existing pedestrian pa i-, e aserner:t along Shepherds F'idge Drive o-ith the approlonate
Deed Hook and Pace Number.
Rev i . Comment adds ssed.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment does not need to be addressed. Comment applied to Final Site
Plan only and does not need to be addressed in the Final Subdivision Plat.
24. [32.5.2(i) and comment] The existing pedestrian network in Belvedere is a 10' wide asphalt multi -use path;
for consistency, the County requests that you provide a 10' path in lieu of the proposed 5' concrete
sidewalk. This will also require additional right-of-way dedication.
Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. The area of dedication should be clearly shown. Additionally, a
portion of the proposed path appears to be off -site on TMP 62G-01-A; this will require an easement (both for
construction and for future public access to the path).
Final: Comment not addressed. Clearly show the dedicated area and show an easement for improvements
shown on TMP 62G-01-A.
Final Rev1: Comment not addressed. Provide the acreage/square footage of proposed dedication and
include in the land area breakdown. The dedication plat (since setbacks are from the new line) and access
easement on TMP 62G-01-A must be recorded prior to site plan approval.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment not vet fully addressed. The extension of the existing pedestrian
network is part of the Villas at Belvedere Final Site Plan and is therefore not being reviewed in this
Final Subdivision Plat. Parcel `F' will be dedicated for public use with SDP2015-65 Villas at
Belvedere Final Site Plan. Do not include the dedication of that parcel in this Subdivision Plat and
Boundary Line Adjustment.
25. [32.5.2(k), 14-302 (A)(5) & 14-303 (L)] Verify that all existing easements for water, sewer and drainage
facilities have been shown on the plan, including the associated Deed Book and Page Number.
Rev1: Comment still valid.
Final: Comment addressed.
Final Subdivision Plat: Comment not vet fully addressed. The last submission of SDP2015-65 Villas
at Belvedere showed public sewer lines in the Dunlora 3A open space behind Lots 283 and 284.
Provide the location of the existing sewer lines and easements that will be connected to for this
development.
26. [32.5.2(k), 14-302 (A)(5) , 14-302 (A)(13) & 14-303 (L)] Verify that all necessary easements for proposed

34. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.4(b)] Existing trees may be preserved in lieu of planting new plant materials in order to
satisfy the landscaping and screening requirements of section 32.7.9, subject to the agent's approval. If you
intend to use existing trees to satisfy any of the landscape plan requirements, please include the following:
1. Areas and other features shown on landscape plan. The landscape plan shall show the trees to be
preserved, the limits of clearing, the location and type of protective fencing, grade changes requiring
tree wells or walls, and trenching or tunneling proposed beyond the limits of clearing.
2. Conservation checklist. The applicant shall sign a conservation checklist approved by the agent to
ensure that the specified trees will be protected during construction. Except as otherwise expressly
approved by the agent in a particular case, the checklist shall conform to the specifications in the
Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook, pages I11-393 through III-413, and as hereafter
amended.
Revl : Comment still valid.
Final: Comment not fully addressed. The conservation checklist requires that any area of trees to remain
that is within 40' of proposed building or grading shall be protected by fencing; since existing trees are used
to meet the tree canopy requirement, provide tree protection fencing (on the landscape plan) along all
remaining tree lines within 40' of proposed construction/grading.
Final Rev1: Comment addressed. However, make sure the conservation checklist remains completed and
signed when the plan is ready for signature.

37. (32.5.2(p), 32.7.9.5] When a parking lot is located such that parked cars will be visible from a public street,
low shrubs should be planted to minimize the view of the parked cars. The parking lot will be visible from
Rio Road; the landscaping shown within the proposed dry swale may be sufficient but it isn't specified on
the plans. Demonstrate that this requirement has been satisfied.
Rev1: Comment still valid.
F=final: Comment not fully addressed. Due to a change in the Swale location from Initial Site Plan, low shrubs
should be provided a minimum 5' o.c. along the perimeter of the proposed parking.
Final Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. The location of the proposed shrubs is nearly 30' from the
parking and will not adequately minimize the view of parked cars from the public street; provide the shrubs
along the perimeter of the parking.

Final: Comment not fully addressed. The landscape notes list 11,500 SF of paved parking and vehicular
circulation, but the Cover Sheet lists 22,454 sf; revise the landscape note to use the correct area.
Additionally, the 5% requirement refers to landscaped ground area, not tree canopy.
Final Revl : Comment not fully addressed. As noted above the 5% requirement refers to landscaped ground
area, not tree canopy; revise the associated note/calculation.

The landscaping propcsed within the dry swale may provide sufficient screening for TMP 61-164 but it isn't
specified on the plans. Demonstrate that this requirement has been satisfied.
Rev1: Comment still valid.
Final: Comment not fully addressed. To meet the ordinance requirement, a double staggered row of
evergreens must be provided. Some of the planting within the basin may help meet this requirement, but
the plants haven't been specified in the plant schedule.
Final Rev1: Comment not addressed. As noted above, in order to meet the ordinance requirement, a
