SDP201700033 - Dunlora Park Phase I - Final Site Plan
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 Initial Site Plan Approval (from letter dated 7-5-2016)
L [32.5.2(a)] The owner information provided for the parcel does not match that shown in County real estate records;
verify that accurate owner information is provided. Final Site Plan: Comment addressed.
[32.5.2(i),14 -233(A)3] When private streets in development areas may be authorized. Two private streets (Varick
Street & Marin Court) are proposed to serve 14 single family detached residential lots. While streets (public or private)
are not reviewed or approved with site plan applications, it should be noted that a private street request must be
submitted with the preliminary subdivision plat application. The Agent is not able to authorize these private streets;
rather, they require Planning Commission authorization. Submit the required private street request along with the
required justification. In anticipation of the request I've reviewed the ordinance and find no applicable justification
which would support why these two streets should be approved as private streets. It is advisable they be revised to
public streets. Final Site Plan: Comment no longer relevant as the applicant has modified the proposal to public
streets.
3. [4.6.3(a)] Shared Driveways. Lots which utilize a shared driveway easement shall establish the primary structure at
least ten (10) feet from the edge of the shared driveway easement. Depict, label, and dimension this setback from the
shared driveway easement. Final Site Plan: Comment no longer relevant.

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 site plan provides a note on sheet 1, which states that new
topographic information shall be provided. County Engineer sign -off on this topographic information is required prior
to final site plan approval. Final Site Plan: On the plan reference the surveyor and the date of the slopes exhibit
by Kristopher Winters. Additionally, provide the following note next to these slopes: "These preserved 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. " Rev 1. Comment addressed
7. [4.7(c)3] Open Space. A minimum of twenty five (25) percent of the site shall be open space. Not more than eighty
(80) percent of the minimum required open space shall consist of the following: preserved slopes and land devoted to
stormwater management facilities. The open space provided does not appear to meet this requirement. Prior to final site
plan and/or subdivision plat approval provide a chart on the plans to verify the amount of open space outside of
preserved slopes and land devoted to stormwater management facilities is at least 20% of the required open space
provided. Final Site Plan: Comment addressed.

Subject: Dunlora Final Site Plan -Question
Chris,
Thank you for your review of the Dunlora Final Site Plan(Phase I). I see in the comments that we are required to provide
all the water/sewer/storm profiles and plan view information. If this is all approved and constructed under the Road Plan,
is this still necessary?The code references I provided in front of those comments are from the County Code for final site
plan(see below). I cannot pick and choose what is included in the final site plan.
46. 132.6.2(d)1 !liner and sewer facilities.Provide profiles and cross sections of all water and sewer lines including
clearance where lines cross.
47. 132.6.2(d)1 'later and sewer facilities. Provide the station on the plan to conform to the station shown on the profile
and indicate the top and invert elevation of each structure.
48. 132.6.2(d)l !finer and.sewer facilities. Provide all sewer appurtenances by type and number.
49. 132.6.2(e)1 Drainage and grading plans. Provide profiles of all ditches and channels whether proposed or existing.
50. 132.6.2(e)l Drainage and grading plans. Provide profiles of all storm sewer systems.
There is no utility construction with this plan,the laterals were set with the Road Plan and we're just popping the homes
in. The water& sewer is required for the development to be built. I could see you having a stronger case to make this
argument if both the water and sewer were all within the public r/w, but they are not.
If they must be included, is it appropriate to simply reference the Road Plan for all of these items with SDP#, or append
the relevant profile sheets from the approved Road Plan set to the back of the Final Site Plan set? No,1 do not believe that
is appropriate either.If you would like to go through the variation & exception process in Section 32.3.5(a)you can make
that request with your resubmittal and I'll send it out to Engineering, Zoning, and Planning and complete a review w/the
next submital.
Hope this finds you well.
Thank you for the clarification,
Kaitlyn

SDP201700033 - Dunlora Park Phase I - Final Site Plan
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 Initial Site Plan Approval (from letter dated 7-5-2016)
L [32.5.2(a)] The owner information provided for the parcel does not match that shown in County real estate records;
verify that accurate owner information is provided. Final Site Plan: Comment addressed.
[32.5.2(i),14 -233(A)3] When private streets in development areas may be authorized. Two private streets (Varick
Street & Marin Court) are proposed to serve 14 single family detached residential lots. While streets (public or private)
are not reviewed or approved with site plan applications, it should be noted that a private street request must be
submitted with the preliminary subdivision plat application. The Agent is not able to authorize these private streets;
rather, they require Planning Commission authorization. Submit the required private street request along with the
required justification. In anticipation of the request I've reviewed the ordinance and find no applicable justification
which would support why these two streets should be approved as private streets. It is advisable they be revised to
public streets. Final Site Plan: Comment no longer relevant as the applicant has modified the proposal to public
streets.
3. [4.6.3(a)] Shared Driveways. Lots which utilize a shared driveway easement shall establish the primary structure at
least ten (10) feet from the edge of the shared driveway easement. Depict, label, and dimension this setback from the
shared driveway easement. Final Site Plan: Comment no longer relevant.
4. [32.5.2(b)] Proposed use. On sheet 1, under general notes, land areas provided only add up to 7.67 acres, what is
happening to the other 0.88 acres of the site? Revise the land areas to account for acreage of the entire site. Final Site
Plan: Comment no longer relevant.
5. 132.5.2(d), 30.71 Steep Slopes Overlay District. Throughout the plan label the slopes onsite (preserved and managed
slopes). Final Site Plan: Comment addressed.
6. [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 site plan provides a note on sheet 1, which states that new
topographic information shall be provided. County Engineer sign -off on this topographic information is required prior
to final site plan approval. Final Site Plan: On the plan reference the surveyor and the date of the slopes exhibit
by Kristopher Winters. Additionally, provide the following note next to these slopes: "These preserved 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. "
7. [4.7(c)3] Open Space. A minimum of twenty five (25) percent of the site shall be open space. Not more than eighty
(80) percent of the minimum required open space shall consist of the following: preserved slopes and land devoted to
stormwater management facilities. The open space provided does not appear to meet this requirement. Prior to final site
plan and/or subdivision plat approval provide a chart on the plans to verify the amount of open space outside of
preserved slopes and land devoted to stormwater management facilities is at least 20% of the required open space
provided. Final Site Plan: Comment addressed.
8. [32.5.2(a)] General information. Revise the zoning to include Airport Impact Area (AIA). Also, revise the zoning
provided on the existing conditions sheet to R-4 & AIA. Final Site Plan: Comment not addressed.
9. [14-302(A)3] Existing or platted streets. Provide the State Route Number 1177 for Dunlora Drive. Final Site Plan:
Comment addressed.

Review #5
Dear Ms. Cox:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Collins Engineering, dated May
22, 2017, and offer the following comment.
Land use
1. Current design doesn't meet connectivity requirements; please see Road Design Manual
appendices B (1), SSAR, page 14, section 30-92-60 for reference. The regulation
requires that new developments provide connectivity between adjacent developments
and undeveloped parcels. If the proposed lots are served by a connection to Varick St.
this requirement will be satisfied as there is not enough property frontage to provide an
additional entrance that meets the Access Management regulations.
If further information is desired, please contact Willis C. Bedsaul at (434) 422-9866.
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 land Use Section at (434) 422-9399
for information pertaining to this process.
Sincerely,
k) 6TV--
