Subiect: SDP201600007 Inglewood Terrace — Final Site Plan
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 Initial Plan Approval:
1. [Comment] This application was reviewed against Site Development Plan requirements only. Lot lines and a `private
road' are shown on the plan, but no subdivision application, nor private road request, nor road plans have been
submitted. Any subdivision related comments are provided for reference only unless necessary for site plan approval.
Rev 3: A private road request was submitted and has been approved.
2. [4.6.1, 4.6.6, 32.7.2.1, 32.7.2.2, 32.5.2(m), 32.7.2.3, 14-207, 14-309] The private street serving the development is
proposed within an existing publicly dedicated right-of-way, this is not approvable. VDOT never accepted the portion
of the right-of-way labeled as `Unimproved Inglewood Drive' into the State Secondary System and the County still
owns it. Either pursue vacation of the right of way pursuant to State Code 15.2-2272 prior to final site plan and/or final
subdivision plat approval OR upgrade the existing roadway to meet current VDOT standards from the point where
VDOT maintenance ends. This will include a suitable turn around at the end of state maintenance, removal of the
existing parking area, continuation of curb and gutter, tie in of the existing driveway of TMP 061 KO-05-OD-00400, and
the dedication of right-of-way or easements as necessary. Please show these improvements and easements or ri t-of-
way_prior to final site plan and/ or subdivision plat approval. Rev 3: The applicant has chosen to develop the
current proposal as a public street within the existing publically dedicated right-of-wav, which has been
upgraded to meet VDOT standards and is to be accepted by VDOT into the State's Secondary Street System.
On the private property the applicant is serving the development with a private street. The public road has an
approved turn around and the private road has a fire truck pull off area. The comment has been addressed.
3. [Comment] Approval and recordation of a plat showing the vacation of the property line between TMP 61K-10-OA
and TMP 61K-lO-OA2 is required prior to final site plan approval. Include the deed book/page reference number on the
final site plan. It may be appropriate to combine all platting items on a single plat (if other items exist). Rev 3:
Comment still relevant. Please resubmit the plat for review and approval prior to final site plan approval.
4. [Comment] VDOT approval of the proposed entrance to the site shall be required prior to final site plan approval.
Rev 3: Comment still relevant. VDOT comments attached.
5. [14-412(A)(3), 14-412(A)(3)(b) and 14-412(B)] VDOT road standards apply to the proposed private street. Show the
24' required width FC/FC on the final site plan. Rev 2: The County Engineer may permit the width of the private
street to be 20' FC/FC per design standards manual. Comment addressed.
6. [32.5.2(i), 15.2.1(3, 14-233(B)1, 14-2341 A private street request must be submitted prior to final subdivision plat
approval. This private street request can be reviewed administratively due to the presence of attached dwellings. A
maintenance agreement for the private street must be submitted for review and approval by the County Attorney's
Office with the subdivision application. Rev 3: A private street request was submitted and has been approved by
the Agent due to the presence of attached units.
7. [32.7.2.2, 14-410(H), 14-4221 Private Streets in the Development Area. In the development areas, streets shall be
constructed with curb or curb and gutter, sidewalks and planting strips. Sidewalks and planting strips shall be designed
and constructed in compliance with section 14-422 (Sidewalks and planting strips for street trees and other vegetation
shall be established on both sides of each new street within a subdivision creating lots for single family detached and
single family attached dwellings in the development areas) Revise to provide sidewalks and landscape strips on both
sides of the new street. Otherwise submit variation or exception request pursuant to Section 14-422(F) & 14-203.1.
This item shall be acted on prior to final subdivision plat and final site plan approval. Rev 3: The above sections of
the subdivision ordinance were sited in error and have been determined not to apply to this development or the
request; rather it has been determined that Section 32.3.5 permits variations and exceptions of the required
improvements listed under Section 32.7.2.2, which utilize the private road standards in Chapter 14 but are not
varied or excepted by Chapter 14. Because of this error the agent has chosen to utilize the exception requests
and iustifications provided by the applicant and apply them to Section 32.3.5 to act on.
Restating the request: The applicant has requested to provide sidewalks on one side of the roadway. The
applicant has also requested to omit landscape strips on both sides of the roadway.
Considerations and Finding: Based on the numerous varying design proposals that have been submitted by the
applicant it should be noted that the applicant has chosen to develop the current proposal as a public street
within the existing publically dedicated right-of-way, and develop a private street for the remainder. In
considering the request the agent has examined the surrounding neighborhood, which is a historic
neighborhood that was originally designed without sidewalks and landscape strips. As lots are redeveloped
sidewalks are established along the frontage, void of landscape strips. Current VDOT standards do not require
sidewalks and landscape strips on both sides of the public roadway.
The agent finds there is an unusual situation involving the existing previously dedicated but not accepted 50'
Public right-of-way that is acting as a constricting factor for the installation of the required improvements.
Additionally, the current proposal is not served by a through street but rather a deadends street that serves 9
proposed units.
Taking into consideration the above circumstances the agent approves the exception requests to permit
sidewalks on one side of the roadway and omit landscape strips throughout, which will results in an
improvement that substantially satisfies the overall purpose of the ordinance in a manner that equally meets the
desired effect of the requirement. Additionally the improvement facilitates public safety, health, and welfare of
residents in the neighborhood by providing enhanced pedestrian access from the units down the hill.
As a condition of the approval for the exception to omit landscape strips, landscape easements shall be provided
between the driveways on individual lots 1-3 to provide the required street trees, and all other requires street
trees shall be planted within the open space areas adiacent to the right-of-way and in parking islands, as
depicted on the plans.
The comment has been addressed.
8. [32.5.2(n), 4.12.15(g)] Curb and gutter in parking areas and along travelways. Either provide the required curb and
gutters in the parking area or submit a request and justification for a modification/waiver under Section 4.12.2(C) &
(C)2. This is an agent approved waiver which can only be acted on after consultation with the County Engineer, who
shall advise whether the proposed waiver or modification would equally or better serve the public health, safety or
welfare. This item shall be acted on prior to final subdivision plat and final site plan approval. Rev 2. Comment
addressed.
9. [32.5.2(b), 4.12.16(c)] Minimum parking space sine. Are the 6'-wide parking spaces fronting Lots 4-9 for
motorcycles/mopeds? If so, label the spaces as such. If not, on the plan label what they are being utilized for. These
spaces shall not be counted towards the minimum required spaces. Final: Comment addressed.
10. [4.12.16(C)] The two proposed parking spaces fronting TMP 061KO-05-OD-00400 are required to be 18' in length.
Currently they are depicted as 16' in length. Revise the final site plan accordingly. Final: Comment no longer
relevant, plans were modified to omit these spaces.
11. [32.5.2(i)] Street trees shall be required for this development. Prior to final site plan approval a landscape plan shall be
provided. Final: A landscape plan has been provided. Detailed landscape comments are provided below in
"Additional Comments".
12. [32.5.2(i), 4.6.3, 15.2.1(3), 15.3] Setbacks. The setbacks throughout the plan are not accurately depicted. This
development is classified as "infill development" pursuant to Section 4.19 of the County Code. The correct setbacks
for this development are as follows. -
Front Minimum — 30 foot
Rear Minimum - 20 foot
Side Minimum & Maximum — none
Rev 2: On the plans clearly label, dimension, and depict the width and location of the proposed private street
easement. The private street easement shall be a minimum of 30 feet wide to provide frontage for the all of the
lots. Currently the easement necks down to 20 feet adjacent to Lots 4-9, this is not approvable. Increase the
width of the easement to 30 feet in this area. This will not affect the setbacks for these lots because areas in
parking bays shall not be considered as part of the private road for purposes of determining front yard setback as
provided for in Sec 4.6.3(a) of County Code. Rev 3. Comment addressed.
13. [32.5.2(p] Per the June 19, 2015 letter by David L. Powell, Environmental Specialist, which was submitted to staff on
October 29, 2015, the stream feature has been categorized as an Intermittent Stream. The study was reviewed by
County Engineering staff and has been determined to be adequate. An adjacent property owner has contacted staff and
expressed his concerns with this study and has opted to contract a stream categorization study of his own by a licensed
professional. At the time of this approval letter the second study has not been provided. When the study is submitted it
shall be considered and reviewed by County Engineering staff. If the second study contradicts the June 19t", 2015
study, the County Engineer will make a determination to classify the stream. Rev 2. Comment has been addressed.
14. [32.5.2(d), 32.5.2(f)] The 9' retaining wall is acting as a dam for the stream that may cause flooding on neighboring
properties in the event of heavy rainfall. Have any studies been conducted to assess the max flow of this stream to
assure that the 60" storm sewer pipe is adequate to avoid such flooding? If so, please provide copies of the study to
myself and Engineering. This item may pose an issue for the development during the WPO plan review of the project.
Please work with Engineering staff to address this concern prior to final site plan approval. Also, the `New 60" HDPE
Storm Sewer' discharges water into the existing swale on TMP 61K-5-D-4. Will piping the water under the proposed
buildings increase the velocity/flow of discharged water potentially increasing erosion on the neighboring property
and/or impact properties downstream? During the WPO plan review and prior to final site plan approval please work
with Engineering staff to address this concern. Rev 1: Plans have been revised to terrace the retaining wall into two
separate 5' tall walls, and detention pipes. The WPO plan shall be approved prior to final site plan approval.
The site plan shall reflect approved WPO.
15. [32.5.2(p) & 32.7.9.71 Screening. The proposed outfall of the stream shall be screened from the adjacent residential
lots (TMP 061KO-05-OD-00400& 061KO-09-00-003130). Provide the required screening on the final site plan's
landscape plan. Rev 1: The outfall will contain rip -rap and open pipe is not proposed. Based on this design
screening is not needed.
16. [32.5.2(a), 15.4.1, 3.1] Maintenance of existing wooded areas. For the undisturbed areas to qualify for a 10% density
bonus, demonstrate in an exhibit that the area meets the definition of "Wooded Areas" per section 3.1 of the ordinance.
Provide the exhibit and a conservation plan as specified in section 32.7.9 prior to final site plan approval and/or final
subdivision plat approval. Rev 3: Comment addressed.
On the final subdivision plat, show the conservation area and provide the following note: "Lot acreages shown hereon
were calculated under the Bonus Level Cluster development requirements. Lots shown hereon comply with section
15.4.1 "Environmental standards " by conserving acreage area that comprises % of the total area of the
subdivided parcels. " Final: Item shall be addressed prior to final subdivision plat approval.
17. [32.5.2(a), 15.4.31 Affordable housing. Clearly identify the affordable unit on the final subdivision plat.
Rev 2. Comment addressed (Lot 2).
3
18. [32.5.2(a), 15.5, 15.3, 4.71 Cluster Development. On the plan clearly distinguish what area is being counted towards the
required Open Space B & C, and omit the square footage for the road and parking from the open space totals. Rev 1: It
appears this development truly only contains 25,837 SF of open space (A, B, C, and D) which is to be maintained
by the HOA. The plans have been revised to provide open space within residential lots, specifically 6,466 SF;
however, this is not permitted. Revise to omit the 6,466 SF from the open space calculations. Rev 2. Comment
addressed; however, there appears to be a residual note on sheet 1, which claims 33,692 SF of total parcel area
in shared space. Omit this note. Rev 3. Comment addressed.
On the final subdivision plat list who shall own and maintain the open space. An open space maintenance agreement
approved by the County Attorney's office shall be required prior to final subdivision plat approval. Final: Shall be
addressed on final subdivision plat.
19. [32.5.2(a), 15.5, 15.3, 4.71 Cluster Development. On sheet C1, under Impervious Area Schedule, 33,500 SF is listed
under "Area in open space", however, on sheet C3 open space A-D add up to 27,676 SF. Correct and coordinate
calculations throughout the plans. Rev 1: The plans have been revised to provide open space within residential
lots, specifically 6,466 SF; however, this is not permitted, and this acreage shall not count towards the open
space totals of the development. Revise the calculations on sheet 1 to only list open space that meets the
definition of open space. Staff believes the true amount of open space for this development (A, B, C, and D) is
25,837 SF. Please confirm and revise the calculations on the plan. Rev 2. Comment addressed; however, there
appears to be a residual note on sheet 1, which claims 33,692 SF of total parcel area in shared space. Omit this
note. Rev 3. Comment addressed
20. [32.5.2(d)] Prior to final site plan approval provide a temporary grading and construction easement or license
agreement for the installation of the proposed DI and New 15" HDPE Storm Sewer on TMP 061 KO-05-OC-01300.
Also, revise the plan to provide this property owner's name and TMP. Final: Comment no longer relevant as there is
no work proposed on adjoining neighbor's property; rather, the work will take place in the existing right-of-
way.
21. [32.5.1(c), 32.5.2(n)] Dimensions. On the plan provide the dimensions of the proposed structures.
Final: Comment addressed.
22. [Comment] On the plans provide the deed book page reference information for the existing 30' Joint Access
Easement. Staff research determined that the maintenance agreement for this join access easement is DB 1654-291.
Revise accordingly. Rev 1: Comment addressed.
23. [Comment] The adjacent property owner of TMP 061KO-10-00-OOOA1 has a portion of his existing driveway on land
that is part of your development and property (TMP 061KO- 10-00-OOOA2). It appears that some grading is taking place
on a portion of his driveway that is on your land. He has contacted County staff (Engineering and myself) and is very
concerned with this aspect of the plans and does not want this to take place. It is recommended that you contact this
citizen and try and work out this issue. I have his contact information and will provide it to you upon your request.
Final: The developer has been made aware of this recommendation.
24. [32.5.2(n) & (p)] The following will be required for final site plan approval:
- If lighting is proposed: Outdoor lighting information including a photometric plan and location, description, and
photograph or diagram of each type of outdoor luminaire [Sec. 32.7.8 & Sec. 4.17]
Final: Comment addressed. No lighting proposed.
- A landscape plan in accordance with [Sec. 32.7.9]. Final: A landscape plan has been provided. Detailed
landscape comments are provided below in "Additional Comments".
Additional Comments
1. [32.7.2.2, 14-410(H), 14-4221 Streets and Travelways. Each private street and travelway within a development shall be
designed and constructed to the standards for private streets in chapter 14. Provide curb or curb and gutter, sidewalks and
landscape strips on both sides of the new private road and the public road. Otherwise submit the applicable variation or
exception request pursuant to Sections 14-410(I) and 14-422(F) and 14-203.1 for consideration.
Rev 3: The above sections of the subdivision ordinance were sited in error and have been determined not to apply to
this development or the request; rather it has been determined that Section 32.3.5 permits variations and exceptions
of the required improvements listed under Section 32.7.2.2, which utilize the private road standards in Chapter 14

1p ans.
The comment has been addressed.
2. [14-403, 14-412] Lot frontage. Private street easements shall be a minimum of 30' wide to provide frontage for the
proposed lots. Prior to final site plan and final subdivision plat approval revise the required easement. Rev 2: Comment
still unresolved. On the plans clearly label, dimension, and depict the width and location of the proposed private
street easement. The private street easement shall be a minimum of 30 feet wide to provide frontage for the all of the
lots. Currently the easement necks down to 20 feet adiacent to Lots 4-9, this is not approvable. Increase the width of
the easement to 30 feet in this area. This will not affect the setbacks for these lots because areas in narking bays shall
not be considered as Part of the Private road for Purposes of determining front yard setback as Provided for in Sec
4.6.3(a) of County Code. Rev 3. Comment Addressed.
3. [Comment] Various pages throughout the site plan depict the existing asphalt parking fronting TMP 061KO-05-OD-00400
as remaining in the 50' public right-of-way; however, these spaces shall be removed unless VDOT approves their location
on the road plan and is willing to maintain them. Rev 2. Comment addressed by removing these spaces.
4. [32.5.2(i)] Streets. Label the proposed extension of Inglewood Drive as "Public Road". Rev 2. Comment addressed.
5. [4.11.3, 4.11.41 Structures within easements. A portion of the rear deck for Lot 1 is within an existing 20' waterline
easement. Either provide approval from the easement holder that the deck is permitted within the easement or revise the
plan to take the deck completely out of the easement. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
6. [32.5.2(n)] Proposed improvements. How is daily household trash going to be disposed of for these units? Depict the
location, dimensions, and screening of a dumpster for use by the residents. If each lot is going to have it's own trash
container for curbside pickup, where are these containers going to be stored when not in use? If stored behind the lots how
are the middle units going to gain access over surrounding lots? Provide a note on the plan. Rev 3. Comment Addressed.
6a. [4.12.19, 32.7.9.7(E)] Trash Enclosure. The minimum height of the wooden fence surrounding the trash enclosure shall
be 6 feet tall. Currently it is 5 feet tall, revise. Rev 3. Comment Addressed.
6b. [4.12.19, 32.7.9.7(E)] Dumpster Enclosure. Will the trash enclosure house a dumpster or is it merely housing
trashcans? If a dumpster is proposed, the concrete pad shall be extended 8 feet beyond the front of the dumpster. If it is
merely for trashcans, what is proposed will suffice. Rev 3. Comment Addressed.
7. [32.7.9.41 Landscaping. Throughout the plan there are numerous conflicts between required landscaping and
proposed/existing easements.
- Four (4) Green Vase Zelkova street trees proposed within the 20' storm easement
Rev 2. Comment no longer relevant, as Engineering does not anticipate these trees will effect the storm
drainage pipe within the easement because they are far enough away as well as the type of tree being planted.
- Three (3) Autumn Blaze Maple parking lot trees fronting Lots 7-9 proposed within 20' and 30' storm easements
Rev 3. Comment addressed.
- Two (2) Green Vase Zelkova street trees fronting Lots 1 and 2 overtop of the sewer line connections
Rev 3. Comment addressed.
Either revise the location of the proposed easements to avoid conflict with proposed plantings or revise the planting
locations. If the plantings are to remain provide written documentation from the easement holders that they are permitted.
Rev 3. Comment addressed.
8. [32.7.9.41 Landscaping. All required plantings located outside of the right-of-way on individual lots shall be within
landscape easements which shall be depicted on the final subdivision plat and recorded with a maintenance agreement
approved by the County. Rev 2. Comment partially addressed; however, these easements shall be extended to the
private street easement or the private sidewalk/landscape easement to provide for access to maintain these street
trees. Lots effected: Lots 1-3 and Lot 9. Rev 3. Comment Addressed.
9. [32.7.9.5(d), 15.4.1, 2.4.11 Location and spacing of street trees. The site is short two (2) of the required street trees. Based
on the prevalence of easements these two (2) trees shall be located in either open space areas onsite or in the rear yards of
Lots 1 - 6 within an easement. Rev 2. Comment not adequately addressed. The site is now short 3 street trees that the
applicant is requesting to substitute with preserved trees; however, this is not acceptable to the agent as the site is
already benefiting from tree preservation areas for a bonus density increase of 10%. Bonus factors shall not be
permitted for any improvement or design feature already required by the ordinance. Thus the applicant needs to
choose: do they want to use the preservation area these trees are located in towards bonus density increase of 10%
or do they want to use this portion for street tree requirements. It is suggested that applicant provide the remaining
3 street trees within the public right-of-way or directly behind the 4 street trees within the storm drainage easement.
Rev 3. Comment Addressed.
10. [32.7.9.6(b)] Landscaping within parking area. Swap out the plantings fronting Lots 7-9 from large shade trees
to shrubs. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
11. [32.7.9.7(3)] Screening. Provide a single row of evergreen screening (trees or shrubs) at the base of all retaining
walls on Lots 2-6. This screening will help reduce the visual impacts of these walls on the neighboring property. Rev 1.
Comment addressed.
12. [32.7.9.5(c)] Minimum caliper of street trees. Correct the typographical error on sheet C6 under Required Street Tree from
1-1.5" to 1.5". Rev 1. Comment addressed.
13. [Design Standards Manual] For safety reasons provide a slightly opaque fence (minimum of 4' tall) atop the 5' retaining
wall on Lot 2. Also, provide a typical detail. Provide guardrail or fencing atop the 9' tall retention wall adjacent to Lot 7.
Rev 2. Comment addressed.
14. [Comment] Revise the title of the plan from SDP2015-20 to SDP2016-7. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
15. [Comment] The final site plan shall not be approved until all approvals are granted from various SRC reviewers.
Rev 3. Comment still relevant.
Additional Comments on Revision
16. [32.7.9.51 Street Trees. The revised measurement of road frontage (445 LF) is not correct and shall be revised to its
previous measurement (765 LF). Assure you measure both sides of the existing and proposed street. Also revise the amount
2
of required street trees. Rev 2. Comment addressed, the new road frontage calculations (685' are correct).
17. [32.7.9.71 Screening. Evergreen trees for screening purposes shall be a minimum of 4' tall at the time of planting. In the
landscape schedule provide their height at the time of planting. Rev 2. Comment addressed.
Additional Comments based on plans submitted to the County on August 29, 2017 but dated August 8, 2017
1. [Pursuant to Conversations with Justin Shimp] Page C4 has an out of date note on it that reads "Unimproved
Inglewood Drive 50' RIW to be vacated". Omit this note as it no longer represents what is being proposed.
Rev 3. Comment addressed.
2. [Pursuant to Conversations with Justin Shimp] Page C3 "line hooks" for a possible R/W vacation are also out
of date and shall be removed as it no longer represents what is being proposed. Rev 3. Comment addressed.
3. [Pursuant to Conversations with Justin Shimp] Throughout the plans, assure the road is labeled as public to the
point it is proposed public. Rev 3. Comment addressed.
4. [4.12.16(C)] Minimum Parking Space Size. The carport/parking area fronting Lot 1 is not 18 feet long for the
entire width of the carport; rather, where it is dimensioned it is the only portion that meets the 18 feet length. As
you move towards the public road, it drops to 16 feet long. Revise to assure the entire carport is 18 feet long.
Rev 3. Comment addressed.
5. [4.12.16(e)] Bumper Blocks. On the cover sheet provide a note that states: "The County Engineer has waived the
requirement for bumper blocks for parking fronting Lots 4-9 as provided under Sec 4.12.16(e). " Rev 3. Note
provided; however, Engineering is requesting bumper blocks in this location (see attached Engineering
comments).
6. [32.5.2(i), 4.6.3, 15.2.1(3), 15.3, 4.19(6)] Setbacks. After re-examining the development proposal and the
definitions of infill development, the setbacks for this development are truly non-infill by definition. Revise the
setbacks listed on the cover sheet as follows, also correct the dimensions for the setbacks throughout the plan as
follows:
Front Minimum - 5 feet from right-of-way or the exterior edge of the sidewalk if the sidewalk is outside the right-of-way.
Front Maximum - 25 feet from right-of-way or the exterior edge of the sidewalk if the sidewalk is outside the right-of-way.
Rear Minimum - 20 feet
Side Minimum & Maximum — none (see non-infill building separation) 10'
Notably, all buildings meet these setbacks as currently laid out; however it's a matter of how you dimension and
label them on the plans. When measuring the setbacks for lots 4-9 the setbacks shall be measured from behind the
sidewalk thus it meets the minimum for these lots at 7'. Additionally, Lots 1-3 measure the setback from behind
the sidewalks which appear to be 20'. Revise the labels.
Staff has provided references to the County Code. In accord with the provisions of Section 32.4.3.5 of Chapter 18, if the
applicant fails to submit a revised plan to address all of the requirements within six (6) months after the date of this letter,
then the application shall be deemed voluntarily withdrawn. Please contact Christopher Perez at the Division of Current
Development at cperez@albemarle. org or 434-296-5832 ext. 3443 for further information.
