Thanks,Alex.
Can I also confirm your requested changes to the plat?
• Visually show the transition from private lateral public sewer easements for lots 7, 8 and 9 (separate them with
an easement line so the extents of each easement are visible).
• Split the private lateral easements for lots 7 and 8 into 2 different easements. Re-align both easements so they
are centered on the approved lateral locations.

RE: SDP201500035 Old Trail Block 27—Final Site Plan
Dear Mr. Newberry,
I have reviewed and addressed your comments. The individual responses to those
comments are below.
1. Please pay the outstanding $200 notification fee from the review of the initial site plan for
Block 27 (SDP201500015).
The outstanding $200 notification fee from the review of the initial site plan has been
submitted with the resubmission of the Block 27 Final Site Plan.
2. It is possible for the open space in Block 29 to be considered a pocket park, but the final site
plan will need to be amended with a Letter of Revision. The request letter should include
additional information about the amenities being provided to distinguish it as a pocket park.
Amenities could include features like benches and/or picnic tables. Figure 2 in the appendix
to the Parks and Recreation, Greenways, Blueways, Green Systems chapter of our
Comprehensive Plan shows standards for pocket parks.
We will request the open space in Block 29 to be considered a pocket park with a Letter of
Revision at a later date (we will add it to the list of amendments in the next Letter of
Revision for Blocks 28 & 29). We will include all of the necessary information to distinguish
this as a pocket park.
3. Please submit the private street authorization requests for Oldham Drive and Fennel Road. I
will need the request by September 1St to go to the September 22nd PC meeting or by
September 15th for the October 6th PC meeting.
The private street authorization requests for Oldham Drive and Fennel Road have been
submitted.
4. The Board of Supervisors will consider the four submitted special exceptions for this block at
their day meeting on October 7th under the consent agenda.
Comment acknowledged.
5. For the height variation request, I need to review the floor layout for the top level, as well as
elevations to confirm that a maximum of 3.5 stories will accommodate the proposed units.
This is the same information provided for the height variation request in Block 12. Also, on
Niro Nori
Sheet 1 under Site Data, please specify that the variation requests to increase the maximum
height limit to 3.5 stories.
I have sent you the floor layout for the top level as well as elevations for the units. I have
also revised the note about the variation request for the maximum building height on Sheet
1 to include a maximum height limit of 3.5 stories.
6. On Sheet 1 under Site Data, please specify that the minimum lot size variation request is to
reduce the lot size to no less than 1,500 square feet.
The note on Sheet 1 concerning the minimum lot size variation request has been revised to
include that the minimum lot size will be no less than 1,500 square feet.
7. Please update this plan wherever Block 28 is shown to reflect the revised layout from six
duplex lots to five single family lots as approved in SUB201500143.
This plan has been updated to show the five single family lots in Block 28 (as approved in
SUB201500143).
8. On Sheet 1 and Sheet 3, please identify which lots contain affordable accessory units. Please
confirm that these units will meet all of the requirements in Section 5.1.34. Letter(e) of this
section requires "a minimum of 3 off-street parking spaces, arranged so that each parking
space shall have reasonably uninhibited access to the street, subject to approval of the zoning
administrator."
The lots that will be affordable and accessory are now labeled on Sheet 1 and Sheet 3.
There is a minimum of 3 off-street parking spaces proposed for the accessory units.

Reviewer: John Anderson
Plan Coordinator: Johnathan Newberry
Private Street Authorization Request
Engineering evaluates design relative to minimum standards, safety, and public welfare. Zoning/planning approvals
are assigned to other Divisions. Engineering supports reviewers as they consider requests or prepare determinations.
Engineering does not accept that a single design that forfeits minimum subdivision standards is a balanced approach
to stated growth or density objectives, or to neighborhood model design principles which emphasize livable -
walkable communities, or flexibility of design.
Letter suggests an either -or approach to goals by proposing narrow widths, reduced right -of -way, no planting strips
or walks in certain sections in exchange for rear access, additional parking, and higher density. The proposition
should be imagined in public context and defensible (or indefensible) terms at each stage of the review process,
beginning with letter request.
Letter request:
"The proposed private streets would provide a streetscape this is more consistent with the neighborhood model
because it will mirror the overall road design of the blocks surrounding it, specifically blocks 28, 29 and 35."
Surrounding blocks provide walks. That private streets have been authorized at Old Trail appears part of the
rationale for extending authorization, one block to the next. Private street authorization is the exception, not the rule.
Private street authorization is not automatic, nor should case -by -case approval imply subsequent approval. Letter
request: "The internal streets in Block 27 were always intended to be private streets." If so, by whom?
"We feel that sidewalks and planting strips are not necessary along these private streets due to the fact that both
private streets serve as a rear access to all of the lots in Block 27." If ordinance supports request, if design meets
minimum subdivision requirements, Engineering recommends approval. If not, Engineering recommends denial.
Applicant may request a re- zoning, which is appropriate venue for public comment on waiver requests that are likely
to multiply depending on how the County acts on block 27 private street authorization/waiver of street standards
request.
"These private streets will not serve through traffic nor intersect the state highway system." This statement appears
inaccurate. Nothing prevents through traffic. Fennel Road and Oldham Drive intersect public streets at either end.
Engineering Review Comments
Page 2 of 2
"The overall design of Block 27 will better achieve the density goals of the comprehensive plan with private streets
rather than public streets. Because we are eliminating the larger Right -of -Way, planting strip, and sidewalk
requirements, more space will be available for housing and lots, which in turn, will allow for a development with a
higher density." Is true, to what effect.
Ordinance:
14 -428: "The agent shall require a subdivider to dedicate to the county for public use each public street, including
each non - constructed street extension as provided in section 14 -409, and including any required curb, curb and
gutter, planting strip and sidewalk, each drainage improvement ..."
Request for private streets with loss of RW width, sidewalks, or planting strips is in effect an argument against
minimum requirements, with immediate effect on homeowners: amenities are forfeit and simple expense of living
increases as HOA fees must cover street, alley, and sidewalk maintenance. Letter focuses on increased density and
parking, but streets at Old Trail Village, as elsewhere, built with sidewalks and planting strips invite pedestrian use.
An alley -only, high - density approach discourages pedestrian use.
Engineering cautions that approving this request will increase future requests for private street authorization, and will
influence outcome of future determinations. This request may set precedent difficult to reverse. This letter request
makes oblique reference to design of prior- approved blocks, and this will continue.
Depending on the determination in this instance, Albemarle County should anticipate a surge of proposals whose
principal stated objective is higher density, proposals that may only marginally consider effect on homeowners, and
of proposals that may pressure environmental resources or that sacrifice aesthetic amenities (walks, planting strips)
to achieve growth goals. 14- 233.A.3 requires that the Planning Commission consider the General Welfare, to
examine whether "The general welfare, as opposed to the proprietary interest of the subdivider, would be better
served by the construction of one or more private streets than by the construction of public streets."
Does Albemarle favor density at expense of balanced growth and preservation, or will it recognize that privately -
maintained facilities (streets, walks, and storm management facilities) tend to deteriorate more rapidly with fewer
remedies than publicly -owned and maintained facilities. Many hold the view that developer and homeowner
interests compete more often than they intersect. 14- 233.A.3. is tacit admission that this may be true.

RE: SDP201500015 Old Trail Block 27—Initial Site Plan
Dear Mr. Newberry,
I have reviewed and addressed the Initial Site Plan comments for Block 27. The individual
responses to those comments are below.
Planning Division
A. [Comment] Please note how the attached units qualify as"mixed-use" instead of single-
family attached units. The list of permitted uses is found on page 25 of the Code of
Development.
[2"d Comment] If the attached units are no longer proposed to be located in a mixed-use
area,then a variation will be needed at least for the following four requirements:
1. Lot Coverage
2. Setbacks
3. Minimum Lot Size
4. Height
The attached units will be labeled as "single-family attached units" instead of"mixed-use".
We will submit variation requests for Setbacks, Minimum Lot Size, and Building Height.
We do not need a variation request for Lot Coverage (see response to Comment 3 below).
Q 2. [Comment] Please include a"cumulative development table"that shows this block's impact
on the existing affordable housing, open space, gross density, etc. throughout Old Trail. For
an example, please see the table provided on Sheet 21 of the approved final site plan for
Blocks 28 and 29B.
A cumulative development table that includes Block 27 is now shown on the Final Site
Plan.
/3. [Comment] Table 6 on page 30 of the Code of Development shows the maximum lot
coverage permitted for all types of units in Block 27 is 60%. Please demonstrate the
maximum lot coverage is not being exceeded for each lot.
The lot coverage for all of the lots in Block 27 is at 60% or below. A table showing the lot
coverages for each individual lot is shown on Sheet 1 of the Final Site Plan. As a result,we
will not need to submit a variation request for Lot Coverage.
`r+
14. [Comment] In order to provide street frontage for Lots 6-9 and 10-17, please either request
Alley 'A' and `B' to be deemed as private streets or request a variation for these lots to get
their frontage through the open space. If a variation is requested, please confirm the open
space can meet the spatial enclosure ratios found on page 36 of the Code of Development.
12nd Comment] At the SRC meeting, you stated that either process would be acceptable.
Please submit a private street authorization request with waivers of the sidewalk, planting
strip and street tree requirements. This would be an exception to the Subdivision Ordinance
that can be processed prior to submittal of the plat, if desired. Please note that it would need
to be approved prior to the approval of the final site plan so that Lots 6-9 and 10-17 have
street frontage.
We are going to submit private street authorization requests with waivers of the sidewalk,
planting strip and street tree requirements. We acknowledge that this will need to be
approved prior to the approval of the final site plan so that Lots 6-9 and 10-17 will have
street frontage.
5. [Comment] On Sheet 7, please update the planting schedule to show the same number of
trees that are shown on the site. There appear to be at least 19 "FP"trees, 14 "PA"trees and
16 "AR"trees. Please show proposed trees in bold and show existing trees with a lighter gray
line.
The number of tree labels for each type of tree (existing and proposed) should now
correspond to what is shown in the planting schedule table. Also, the existing trees are now
shown in a lighter gray line.
6. [Comment] Page 21 of the Code of Development notes that at least one pocket park
requirement in Blocks 22, 23,26-29.
We would like to designate the open space in Block 29 as the Pocket Park for this area, if
possible. The developer for Old Trail Village is willing to take all of the necessary steps to
have the open space area in Block 29 become a pocket park. Please let me know if the
County will approve this designation change.
JE9 11
1. The applicant should contact this office with three (3) proposed road names for `Alley A' and
`Alley B' shown on the plan before final approval is given.
We will contact Andy Slack with 3 proposed road names before final approval is given.
Inspections Division
No objection.
Fire/Rescue
1. Relocate hydrant at lot 17 to the intersection of Ashlar Ave. and Alpha Street. Northwest
corner of the intersection is the preferred location.
The fire hydrant at Lot 17 was relocated to the northwest corner of the intersection of
Ashlar Avenue and Alpha Street.
2. Fire Flow test required before approval. 1,000 gpm @ 20 psi.
We will get a fire flow test before approval.
ACSA
1. Final Water and Sewer plans are required for review and approval by the ACSA. Please
submit 3 copies of the plan, a water data sheet and a sewer data sheet to the attention of
Jeremy Lynn, PE.
We will submit 3 copies of the Final Site Plan, along with a water and sewer data sheet to

Re: SDP-2015-00015& SUB-2015-00123 Old Trail Village Block 27
Dear Gentlemen:
The Old Trail Village Block 27 Final Site Plan and Road Plans, dated July 1, 2015, have been
reviewed and we offer the following comments:
1. The seal,on sheet 1, should be signed or marked as"preliminary".
2. Sheet 4:
a. The"Variable width Drainage Easement"for storm structure 200 should be
labeled as public.
b. Storm structure 218 should also have a"Public Variable width Drainage
Easement"provided.
3. Sheet 3 and Sheet 8:
a. The intersection Sight Distance for 25 MPH is 280'.
1. Belgrove: Fennel Road right sight distance and Oldham Drive sight
distance left should be updated accordingly.
ii. Orion Lane: Fenner! Road sight distance left and Oldham Drive sight
distance right should be updated accordingly.
b. Is the future alignment of Golf View Drive into Block 7 known? We recommend
projecting the sight distance lines for the future alignment.
4. Sheet 8:
a. Golf View Drive profile: the minimum K value in sag is 26.
b. Golf View Drive and Orion Lane profile: K values for all differences in grades
should be provided.
c. The sight distance lines may be shown on the road profiles for this block since the
change of grades are minimal. However,this will only be accepted on a case by
case basis.
5. Sheet 9:
a. Storm structure 156: The rim elevation on the profile does not match the HGL
computations.
b. What is the I Oyr water surface elevation for the existing Pond?The 10yr WSE
may affect the HGL computations.
6. Sheet 13: Street trees should be located outside of the sight lines. See Golf View Drive.
7. Sheet 14: What is the reasoning for using DI-2's for structures 211,209,203,201,etc.?
Our preference would be to use DI-3's in order to provide better access to the structures.
If you need further information concerning this project, or if you wish to schedule a meeting,

1. Increase proposed RW, Golf View Drive, to match existing 61' public RW.
The public RW for Golf View Drive was increased to 61'.
2. Increase proposed RW, Alpha Street. Extend 1-ft beyond sidewalk(61' public RW).
The public RW for Alpha Street was increased to 61'.
3. Related to items#1, 2, 16: Revise private drainage easements for inlets in alleys and pipes
that would fall within a 61-ft public RW (Alpha St. and Golf View Drive). If drainage items
lie within a 61' public RW, eliminate private drainage easements.
I eliminated the drainage easements that fell within the larger public RW.
4. Related to item#3: Shift inlet structures 207, 205, and 213 so they are located within public
RW.
It would not be possible for us to shift the inlet structures 207,205, and 213 so that they are
located within the public RW. For#207 and #213 especially,the grades around the curb
will not allow water to drain into the structure if we moved them so that they were located
within the public RW.
5. 20' Private drainage easement leader line, Alley A, appears to point to FH which would fall
within 61' RW/Alpha Street. Revise. Increase RW. Eliminate easement. Combining private
drainage easements (inlets)with storm lines (between inlets)within public RW lends
ambiguous maintenance responsibility.
The fire hydrant was moved south to an approximate station of 10+75 on Alpha Street. The
part of the easement that fell within the public road RW was eliminated and the label for
the easement should now be correct.
6. Remove extraneous variable width sight distance easement labels, sheet 4.
All extraneous variable width sight distance easement labels have been removed.
7. Str. 226 and 227 labels, sheets 4 and 5, are confusing. There appear to be two pipe sections
and a MH connecting Block 27 storm drain system and Upper Ballard Pond (UBP). Provide
complete data on this storm line with Block 27 road plans. Note: pipe#157 (226-If 36"DIA)
is bonded with Block 28/29B RP.
Structure#226 is the pipe that is connecting the existing inlet#156 to the proposed inlet#
225. Structure#227 is the pipe that is connecting the proposed inlet#221 to the proposed
NIIre
manhole#228. The manhole#228 connects to the outfall structure#230,which outlets into
Upper Ballard Pond.
8. Label, sheet 4, is confusing: "Outfall & storm pipe#157 to be removed and relocated" is
misleading since it cannot be installed until all upslope contributing drainage areas are
stabilized. It has not been installed, yet design proposes to remove it. Revise this label for
accuracy.
Label was revised to provide more clarity.
9. Add or transfer Notes to Block 27 final site plan similar to Notes displayed in images below,
and included on Approved WPO201400004 plan sheets 5 and 10—please call if any
questions.
These notes were added to the Block 27 WPO Plan on Sheet 4.
10. Submit road plan.
The Block 27 Road Plan will be submitted with the Final Site Plan and WPO Plan.
11. Submit revised storm sewer pipe schedules for inlets on Belgrove Street (Blocks 28/29B)
slated to receive additional runoff from Block 27. Also, calculate runoff from Future Block 7
(turf/impervious)that may reach Alpha Street storm inlets. Failure to consider additional
future Block 7 runoff may compromise design. Confirm and submit detailed, revised
drainage computations for Belgrove Street inlets approved under road plan, SUB201400092,
prior to Block 27 final site plan approval. Ensure design of Block 28/29B drainage system is
not compromised with addition of Block 27 runoff to Belgrove Street.
The updated storm sewer pipe schedules for inlets on Belgrove Street (from Blocks 28 &
29B) are shown on the Computations Sheet in the Final Site Plan.
12. Road plan for Block 27 must provide stormwater collection and conveyance to sediment
basin approved under WPO201400004, not Upper Ballard Pond, until all contributing Das
(Blocks 28, 29B, 27, 7, future blocks) are stabilized. Sediment from un-stabilized, upslope
areas will read UBP unless storm system design routes to existing sediment basin approved
under WPO201400004. This may present challenge.
The Block 27 WPO plan provides a temporary stormwater conveyance system to the
sediment basin approved under WP0201400004. The permanent outfall into Upper
Ballard Pond will be installed once all contributing DAS are stabilized.
13. Provide design showing and sequence describing storm lines/system needed to convey runoff
to sediment basin adjacent to Old Trail Drive, as long as conveyance is required(until
contributing DAs stabilized).
A temporary storm pipe is proposed to carry runoff site run-off into the sediment basin
adjacent to Old Trail Drive. The permanent outfall into Upper Ballard Pond will be
installed once all contributing DAS are stabilized.
14. Revise Block 27 ISP and/or amend SUB201400092 Str. 148 storm inlet location. Inlet is
shown extending beyond face of curb into Belgrove Street.
The inlet is now positioned at the curb return.
15. Revise title sheet/Erosion Control & SWM Note. Phase I & II Erosion Control is not
provided by the existing SWM bioretention pond(Upper Ballard Pond). Initial site plan does
not include ESC phase sheets. Block 28/29B (WPO201400004) Phase I, Intermediate
Grading, and Phase II ESC is provided by a sediment basin. Final site plan approval, Block
27, requires VESCP Application. Also, since ISP proposes modification to WPO201400004
(outfall pipe#157 will not be built as shown), WP0201400004 requires Amendment prior to
Block 27 site plan approval. Revise ESC/SWM text description/title sheet.
The Erosion Control & SWM Note on the Title Sheet was revised. Phase I ESC will convey
runoff to the existing sediment basin constructed with WP0201400004. Phase II ESC will
convey runoff to Upper Ballard Pond (once all contributing drainage areas have been
stabilized).
16. Subdivision ordinance (appears to apply) requires that"the principle means of access to a
subdivision shall be either a public street or a private street" (14-410.F). Unless
ZMA200400024 Code of Development allows otherwise, revise Alley 'A' and `B' to public
street/VDOT standards, unless applying for private street authorization under 14-233. Design
does not provide public (or private) street frontage to many lots.
We are going to submit a private street authorization request for Alley 'A' and 'B' to get
frontage for Lots 6-9 and 10-17.
17. Sheet 2— Show pipe#156A, temporary stormwater outfall to sediment basin
(WPO201400004).
Pipe#156A is now shown on Sheet 2.
18. Sheet 3 —Label curb type/s.
The curb types are now labeled.
19. Sheet 6—Provide 1' contours.
One foot contours are now provided on Sheet 6.
20. On road plan, show CG-6 to roll-top curb transition.
The CG-6 to Roll-top curb transition is now shown on the plans.
21. Final site plan approval/Block 27 requires: approved road plan, approved VESCP/Block 27,
and Amendment to VSMP/WP0201400004 (blocks 28/29B; Approved 26-Aug-14).
