RE: ZMA201500006 Shadwell Estates
Dear Mr. Miller,
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on June 20, 2017, by a vote of 7:0, took the
following actions of the above noted petition making the recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
Please note that this recommendation is subject to the following conditions:
RECOMMEND Approval ofZMA-2015-00006, by a vote of 5:1:1 with revisions to proffers and application
plan as recommended by staff, as follows:
Recommendations (proffers)
1. The proffers should reference the application plan and significant features such as the amount and
location of open space and a maximum number of lots.
2. The tree preservation easement should be a separate proffer and should indicate who approves the
deed restrictions (County Engineer and County Attorney).
3. Proffer 2 should be edited for clarity. Language should be added stating the dam is required to be
certified by DCR's Division of Dam Safety and to comply with all recommendations ofDCR for dam
repairs, maintenance and operations prior to approval of the first subdivision plat.
4. Consider adding a proffer to require architectural review of the residences under the HOA to ensure
architectural compatibility with the Clifton Inn and CDD staff review of the HOA architectural
standards prior to recordation of the first subdivision plat.
5. Technical fixes to the proffers are needed.
Recommendation (application plan)
1. The tree preservation area should be extended to cover all areas of critical slopes and required stream
buffer on private lots.
2. Language referencing that Area Z and Area Y will revert back to RA zoning should be removed from
the plan (these areas will remain zoned PRD).
3. All special exceptions should be listed on the application plan (critical slopes, building site
modification, increased maximum setback) and the private street authorization.
4. Consider adding a note to allow a reduction in the number of lots and increased lot sizes, in case
adjustments are needed to find suitable well and septic sites.
Private Street Approval
APPROVED, by a vote of 5:1:1, the private street request for ZMA-2015-00006 with the private street in the
location shown on the application plan.
Amendment to Action Summary Motion Condition 3
APPROVED, by a vote of 6:0, an amendment to the previous motion that the map provided to the Board with
the action summary also include the various Comprehensive Plan elements of blue and green infrastructure.
Action Summary Action
APPROVED, by a vote of 6:0 that the action summary reflect the three concerns expressed by the Planning
Commission as follows:
1. Alternative septic system maintenance.
2. The probability of tree removal easement violations.
3. A desire to see a comprehensive map that shows not only this development but also the anticipated
development on the balance of the properties associated with this ownership, and the various
Comprehensive Plan elements of blue and green infrastructure. (Note: The map is not a
requirement for the applicant to provide and should be provided by staff.)
If you should have any questions or comments regarding the above noted action, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (434) 296-5832.
