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.]
1. [32.5.2(a)] All lots have a maximum setback of 25'. Show setback lines on single family attached lots.
Several townhouses appear to not meet the 25' front maximum. Revise layout as necessary to meet
setback requirements.
2. [32.5.2(a)] On the coversheet, correct the "Proposed Zoning" note to read "Existing Zoning."
3. [32.5.2(i)] Provide dimensions of existing and proposed greenway easement. Per the proffer
requirement, an easement plat will be required prior to the 10th CO.
4. [32.5.2(i)] Provide updated right-of-way width for Park Ridge Ave.
5. [32.5.2(n)] Provide dimensions, maximum footprint and height of proposed units.
6. [32.5.2(n)] Provide dimensions and detail for the proposed gazebo.
7. [32.6.2(h)] Include signature panels for each member of the site review committee.
8. [32.6.2(d)] Provide water and sewer details as required per this section.
9. [32.6.2(e)] Planning staff will defer to engineering staff to determine what level of drainage and
grading detail is required on the site plan. Revise reference to road plans to SUB201700094.
10. [32.7.9] Provide a more legible scale for the landscaping plan.
11. [32.7.9.4(b)] Include signed conservation checklist on landscape plan.
12. [32.7.9] Indicate the number and type of street trees, per road segment.
13. [ZMA2016-15] Lots 123-128 and 131-142 are double frontage lots. A special exception request for
double frontage lots was submitted with the preliminary subdivision plat (SUB2017-205), but has not
yet been approved. I have the following questions/comments regarding this request:
a. ZMA2016-05 requires that buildings be oriented towards public streets (see proffer
language below). Evidence should be provided demonstrating that residences along Park
Ridge and Eastern Avenue will have appropriate frontage treatments to comply with this
proffer.
c) Buildings shall be oriented towards public streets as described in Note 9 of the Application Plan.
A strip of open space shall be provided along the Eastern Avenue Connector Road and Park
Ridge Street, where necessary, to provide additional landscape buffering of any rear yards
abutting the open space where backs of buildings are visible from the street.
b. The special exception request (attached) and subsequent exhibit (sent via email on
5/1/2018) show landscaping/screening and a berm. If such features are proposed on
private lots, an easement should be provided for the protection and maintenance of the
buffer.
c. Label contours on proposed berm and tie into existing and proposed contours.
d. Incorporate the proposed landscaping from double frontage exhibit (sent via email on
5/1/2018) onto site plan landscaping sheet.
e. If houses are intended to be screened rather than having frontages facing Park Ridge Ave,
then a line of sight profile from Park Ridge Avenue should be provided to demonstrate that
screening is sufficient.
f. Front setbacks will be required (min 5' and max 25') along both fronts for all double
frontage lots. Applicant can apply for a special exception for the maximum setback
requirement.
14. [ZMA2016-05] Provide a sight profile to demonstrate screening of backs of houses on Eastern
Avenue.
15. [ZMA2016-05] Provide consistent phasing information across all sheets. ZMA requires the
development to be completed in 2 or fewer phases.
