RE: SUB2016-174 Rivanna Village - Preliminary Subdivision Plat - Phases 1, 3, and 4 which includes
Blocks A, B, C, D1, E, F1, and G1.
Dear Sir:
Department of Community Development has reviewed the above referenced subdivision plat (dated July 7,
2016) against ZMA2013-12 and it's applicable Code of Development (COD), Proffers, Application Plan,
and other codes and ordinances. Comments are provided below; however, additional comments or
conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.): [Each comment is preceded by the
applicable reference]
1. 114-302(A)8, COD Sec 3.21 Density. On the final plat provide a table to keep track of the proposed
residential dwelling units being platted by block. These tables shall be updated on each final plat until
total buildout is completed. The table shall match or be similar to the density regulations table
provided in the Code of Development Section 3.2 - Density Regulations.
If possible, within this table also provide square footages of each non-residential use by block, if not
possible on a final plat be it is unknown at this time such information shall be required on the initial
& final site plan.
2. [14-302(A)8] Proposed Lots. On the final plat provide a chart/table which lists each lot, its
corresponding block, and associated square footage. Include open space parcels in this chart.
3. [COD Sec 8 - Attachment B sheet 71 Open Space/Greenspace Preservation. Revise the labeling of
the open space parcels to correspond to the appropriate block they are located in/being plated from as
well as the type of open space as defined by the rezoning.
For example: `Open Space C' and `Open Space D' are being platted from land located within
Block A thus they shall be relabeled as "Open Space A (1.583 acres) - Open Space/Green Space
Area: Linear Park w/ Trails " and "Open Space AA (1.189 acres) - Open Space/Green Space
Area: Linear Park w/ Trails ".
The reasoning behind the above request is that these areas in Block A are labeled in Attachment B as
"Linear Park with Trails " (which is a portion of the sites' 13.26 acres of this designation), which is a
part of the sites' `Amenity Area" (which makes up 31.68 acres of the site), which is a part of the
developments total "Open Space/Greenspace Area " (which makes up 37.52 acres of the site).
Excluding areas in Block K.
- Also, to avoid confusion track the Open Space Statistics for the development as page 7 of
Attachment B did (see below).

4. [Proffer 6, COD Sec 8 - Attachment B sheet 71 Construction and Dedication of Parks and
Recreation Improvements. On the final plat the development shall dedicate and convey to the County
open space parcels for the Linear Park as designated by the rezoning. Prior to final plat approval the
Director of Parks & Recreation shall sign off on the park dedication area. The dedication of this land
shall be in a form acceptable to the County Attorney and the Director of Planning.
Provide the following note: "Open Space Areas are Hereby Dedicated to the County
for Public Use as a Linear Park Area ".
Provide the following note: "The owner (Rivanna Village) shall construct the trails throughout the
Linear Park Areas within 12 months after approval by the County of
the l' subdivision plat or site plan applicable to any portion of a
block within with the trails are located. "
5. [Proffer 91 Affordable housing. The owner shall provide affordable housing equal to 15% of the total
residential units constructed on the property. On the final plat (cover sheet and lot layout) clearly label
which lots are designated as affordable housing to meet the proffer. Also, assure that the affordable
units for the entire development are clearly tracked in a chart provided on the cover sheet, regardless
if any affordable units are proposed for the block(s) being platted.
6. [4.12.6, COD Sec 7.11 Parking. Prior to final plat approval provide a typical lot layout exhibit which
depicts the locations and dimensions of the garages and driveways for all single family detached
units. Also, on the exhibit provide parking calculations for all of the single family detached units
including guest spaces (1 guest space every 4 dwelling units). The exhibit can either be a part of the
final plat or provided as a standalone document for the file.
7. [14-311] Infrastructure improvement plans. The roads serving these lots were approved under
SUB2015-119. Also, a WPO Plan was approved for phase 1 under WP02014-77. Prior to final plat
approval all necessary improvements shall either be built or bonded.
8. [Comment] Right-of-way widths. Village Avenue is labeled as a "variable width " public right-of-
way. On the final plat provide dimensions to the various widths for this right-of-way so that staff may
verify what is being dedicated meets the approved road plan. Revise the width of `Private Alley B' to
match the approved road plan which has it at 30' wide.
9. [Comment] For all public right-of-ways being platted revise the hereby dedicated language to the
following: "Hereby dedicated to the County for public use".
10. [14-303(E)] Alley Easements. Easements shown for alleys shall be labeled as "alley easement" and
the easement holder(s) shall be identified on the plat. Revise all easement legends to meet the above
language, example: revise `AE = 20' private access easement" to `AE = 20' private alley easement

and right turn lanes on Route 250 at the eastern entrance to the property or bond these
improvements prior to approval of the first site plan or subdivision plat for the development... "
Working with County Engineering staff the applicant has chosen to bond the above mentioned
improvements through VDOT w/ SUB2015-119 (Road Plan). Prior to final subdivision plat and/or
final site plan approval provide documentation that the improvements have been bonded. Engineering
and VDOT shall sign off that the bonding has taken place.
12. [14-317, COD Sec 4.21 Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. With the final
plat submit an instrument assuring the perpetual maintenance of the private alleys, stormwater
management facilities, and any other improvements that are to be maintained by the HOA in
perpetuity. Also, in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions assure the required
provisions of Sec 4.2 COD are met by providing/developing an Architectural Review Committee.
County Attorney approval of this document is required prior to final plat approval.
13. 114-206, 14-307.11 Dam Break Inundation Zone. Revise note #14 on sheet 1 as a portion of TMP
08000-00-00-05000 is located within a Federal Dam Break Inundation Zone. Also, depict the limits
of this zone.
14. [14-302(A)9] Building sites on proposed lots. The plat shall contain the following note: `Parcel

material throughout the development shall be dark and non- reflective.
16. [4.6.4] Rear Yards on Interior Lots. The rear setbacks for lots in Block C are incorrectly shown and
do not take into account the alley easement. The required rear yard shall be measured from the edge
of the alley easement. Revise.
17. [COD Sec 3.31 Lot Regulation/Setbacks. Revise note #13 to include the following setback note: "Side
Setback for any unit which has a road or alley at its side, the minimum side yard setback is increased
to 15 feet. "
On the plat please dimension the 15' side setback for all lots. Revise the side setback for Lot F I to be
15'.
18. [COD Sec 3.41 Building Height. Provide a note on the final plat that lists the maximum height of
each structure by block that is being platted. See table 3.4 of the Code of Development as each block
has different heights permitted based on the use.
19. [14-302(a)5] Zoning. Revise note #13 to list that proffers apply to this development.
20. [COD Sec 3.21 Density - Block G. As specified in the Code of Development `Block G' shall have a
minimum of 13 residential units and a maximum of 45 residential units. Assure that the current
proposed platting of the majority of this block as Open Space does not prevent the minimum
residential units from being met.
21. [Recommendation] It is recommended that each note on sheet 1 be separated by a blank line for
purposes of legibility.

1. Village Avenue — Road plans indicates ROW should be 61 -ft starting at approximately STA 11+70.
Sheet 5 of the plat indicates a 60 -ft ROW. Plat should match the approved Road Plans.
2. Sheet 5 and 8 — Private Alley B — Callout states 20 -ft wide AE whereas it should be called out as 30 -
ft. The width scales to 30 -ft, so it is just the callout.

Mr. Perez,
As requested by your department, I have reviewed the July 7,2016 Preliminary Subdivision Plat; Rivanna Village, Phases
1, 3, & 4 for compliance with VDH regulations. The plan indicates that the proposed new construction is to be
connected to ACSA water and sewer systems. The plan also indicates that the existing sewage system drainfield serving
the East Rivanna Volunteer Fire Department facility, currently located inside an easement on the parcel to be developed,
will be abandoned and connection made to the ACSA sewer.
Recommendation: Approval with Condition
Condition: Connection of the East Rivanna Volunteer Fire Department to the ACSA sewer system must
be completed prior to any development that would compromise the existing septic system
(see Drainfield Easement, Sheets 7&8 of 13)
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns,

Good afternoon, Elaine.
I picked up the subdivision plat for RV yesterday (phases 1, 3 &4) and am looking at it now.
Sheet 4 of 13 indicates Open Space H (5.526 acres) in the top right-hand corner of the page. Am I correct in
concluding that the developer has decided to forsake developing this quadrant which previously had housing
units identified on it? Yes. You are correct. If so, what is the reason for the late change in plans? Environmental
considerations?I'm not sure of the exact reasoning as that information is not required to be provided to staff.
But I believe its environmental. Regardless of their motivations they are permitted to do this based on the code
of development. They are required to have a minimum of 13 residential units and a maximum of 45 residential units
in this block. They have additional acreage in this block which I believe they will develop in another phase.
If there is now a downsizing in the expected buildout of RV, what will now be the projected expected number
of total units in the development?Not sure, it depends on where they land in the other blocks w/regard to their
permitted minimums and maximums.
Many thanks for this information at your convenience. I fully recognize your plate is very full.
For good measure I posed the following question in the SRC comment letter.
[COD Sec 3.2]Density-Block G. As specified in the Code of Development `Block G' shall have a minimum of 13
residential units and a maximum of 45 residential units. Assure that the current proposed platting of the majority of this
1
block as Open Space does not prevent the minimum residential units from being met.

Review #1
Dear Mr. Perez:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Roudabush, Gale, &
Associates, dated 7 July 2016, and offers the following comment:
1. This plat does not show any intersection sight distance easements, which are required at
nearly every intersection on the Rivanna Village plan. The intersection sight distance
lines were submitted as a separate package by the designer and likely did not appear on
the plans used by the preparer of this plat.
Please provide two copies of the revised plat along with a comment response letter. If further
information is desired, please contact Justin Deel at 434-422-9894.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process.
Sincerely,
