SUB201600212 Belvedere Phase 4A - Road Plans

The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the road plans referenced above once the
following comments have been addressed: [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the
Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
1. [14-409] Coordination and extension of streets.... Rev 1. Comment addressed.
2. [4.6.6, 4.12.6] Lot Access Requirements..... Rev 1. Comment addressed.
3. [32.5.2(d), 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 development of Lots 239 and 240 relies on new topographic information that requires County Engineer
approval. Typically, aerial surveys (as this development is relying on) are not deemed as more accurate that
previously flown aerial surveys. County Engineer approval of the new topographic information shall be received
prior to final plat approval. It is recommended this item be rectified prior to road plan approval as we're running
out of plans which will provide topography. If this approval is received w/ the road plan, continue the two types of
shading as currently depicted but relabel the darker shading as "Preserved slopes " and the lighter shading as
"Preserved slopes — slopes have been determined less than 25% based on new topographic information to the
satisfaction of the County Engineer, as permitted under Section 30.7.4(b)h. " If this approval is not received w/ the
road plan leave the preserved slope labels as they are and you will be required to obtain County Engineer approval
prior to final plat approval. Rev 1. Field run topography for the area in question is needed. Revised
topography is still without County Engineer approval. Please work with Engineering to rectify this issue
prior to road plan approval. Once/if approved revised the note on sheet 3 to accurately reference Section
30.7.4(b)h, currently the note has a typographical error referencing the section. Rev 3. At this point
Planning staff defers to Engineering on this issue.
[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 & label the required on street parking spaces for the soccer field. 65 spaces are required for the
soccer field. Rev 1. Comment partially addressed. If/when the soccer field site plan comes in the
required/provides spaces will be reviewed at that time.
5. 14.12.16] Minimum Design Standards for Parking. The plan depicts 8 feet wide on street parking; however,
parallel parking spaces shall be a minimum of 9 feet wide and 20 feet long. Revise. Rev 1. As discussed in the
January 13, 2017 email to Adam Long, to permit the 8 feet wide on street parking an administrative waiver
is needed. On the cover sheet reference the modification of these parking space sizes and reference Section
4.12.2(c)(2) of the County Code. Rev 3. Comment addressed with the waiver request, waiver is granted on
the grounds of the NMD portion of the development permits 8' wide on street spaces, this is a continuation
of that development; however, it just happens to be the by -right portion of the development.
6. [4.12] Parking. Depict, label, and dimension all on -street parking .... Rev 1. Comment addressed.
7. [4.6.6, 4.12.61 Lot Access Requirements. On the road plan depict, label, and .... Rev 1. Comment addressed.

10. 132.5.2(n), 32.7.2.3, 14-422, 32.7.9.51 Sidewalks & planting strips..... Rev 1. Comment addressed.
11. [32.7.9.5] Street Trees. Relocate the two (2).... Rev 1. Comment addressed w/ modified site distance lines.

Additional comments on revised road plan
15. 1Comment] The road plan was reviewed against road plan requirements. The revised density and lot layout as it
relates to the four (4) additional lots depicted on the road plan (Lots 242-245) are not approvable with the
submittal of a final plat for the previously approved SUB2016-120. In order for these lots to remain and be
considered for approval, a preliminary plat showing these lots shall be required. Revise the road plan to omit these
lots. Rev 3. Comment addressed, applicant removed the lots and is leaving this area of residue for future
development.
16. 14.6.6, 4.12.6] Lot Access Requirements. The driveway serving Lot 237 has a street tree obstructing access.
Relocate this tree, possibly along the cul-de-sac. Rev 3. Comment addressed.
17. [Comment] The road plan cut sheet depicts 73' R/W; however, the plan depicts 71' R/W. Revise.
