Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) — Tim Padalino, tpadalino e,albemarle.org — Requested Changes:
[Application Plan (ZMA201300016)]: The Bergen Street right of way (ROW) must be extended to the
property boundary to the south for future interparcel connection. The Application Plan shows a ROW width of
forty-two (42) feet to the property line; at a minimum, this extended ROW must be thirty-seven (37) feet in
width — the same dimension that is shown on this initial site plan for Bergen Street and which is specified in the
"Typical Road Sections" on Sheet 7. The area in question is currently shown as "open space ... for possible future
interconnection" and is shown with a width of approximately thirty-four (34) feet. Please revise the plans to
achieve General Accord with the Application Plan.
2. [Application Plan (ZMA201300016)]: The Application Plan requirement to extend the Bergen Street ROW to
the property boundary to the south does not allow for the placement of the two (2) parking spaces shown on the
southern side of Moffat Street at the T -intersection with Bergen Street. In conjunction with revising the plans to
extend the Bergen Street ROW to the property boundary to the south, please also relocate those two (2)
proposed parking spaces to a different location within Avinity Estates.
3. [Application Plan (ZMA201300016)]: The Moffatt Street ROW must be extended to the property line for a
possible interconnection with the future development of the parcel to the west. Please revise drawings and notes
on Sheet 3A as necessary, or otherwise clarify that the Moffatt Street ROW extends to the boundary with TMP
90-35B. This extended ROW must be thirty-seven (37) feet in width — the same dimension that is shown on this
initial site plan for Moffatt Street and which is specified in the "Typical Road Sections" on Sheet 7.
4. [Application Plan (ZMA201300016)]: A wooden fence with a height of eight (8) feet must be installed
(approximately) five (5) feet from the rear property line of the proposed lots along the boundary line of the
Kappa Sigma property; and landscaping comprised of a staggered line of deciduous and evergreen trees must be
installed along the same property line. Sheet 3 proposes a "wooden fence on the boundary line of the Kappa
Sigma property" with screening "installed with this plan on the Kappa Sigma property." Please revise the
location of the wooden fence and landscaping to be in general accord with the Application Plan.
5. [Application Plan (ZMA201300016)]: Garages must be setback a minimum of three (3) feet from the front
fagade or front porch. Note 2 on Sheet 3 states that "Units shall have a porch that will extend 3' past the
garages;" however, the drawings show garages flush with the front fagade/porch (zero setback) on Lots 1-13 as
well as Lots 24-60. Please revise the plans to satisfy this setback requirement and/or provide dimensions to
demonstrate that this minimum setback requirement is satisfied.
6. [Application Plan (ZMA201300016)]: Please clearly demonstrate that all requirements for public amenities
are satisfied. Specifically, please identify the location of the "16,550 SF active recreation grass courtyard" or
otherwise demonstrate that the required 11,500 SF area for active recreation grass courtyard is provided. It
appears that no such "active recreation grass courtyard" is shown or annotated within the Avinity Estates project
boundaries on either of the Layout & Landscaping Plan sheets (Sheets 3, 3A) or either of the Grading Plan
sheets (Sheets 5, 5A). It is not acceptable to provide this required amenity "between Avinity I Phase III & IV
units," as indicated in the "Amenities" notes within the "General Notes" on Sheet 1.

Unclear?
7. [Application Plan (ZMA201300016)1: Please add a note which states that "Avinity II [or Avinity Estates]
development will be added to the Avinity I HOA to establish one complete HOA, sharing all the amenities,
open space, and maintenance responsibilities." This statement is included as Note 7 on the approved
Application Plan, but does not appear to be included in this initial site plan.
8. [Application Plan (ZMA201300016) and 32.5.2(a)]: The "Setbacks" note within the "General Notes" on
Sheet 1 proposes a six (6) foot front yard setback, and states that a request for a variation has been submitted to
the County. However, no such request for a variation or special exception has been received by CDD to date.
This request must be submitted to CDD and approved by the Board of Supervisors.
9. [Application Plan (ZMA201300016)]: A landscaping easement must be provided for the street trees that are
located in the six (6) foot planting strip outside of the ROW. Additionally, the "Landscaping" note on the
approved Application Plan states (in part) "All street trees shall be outside of the ROW within a 10' wide
landscaping and maintenance easement... " however, in this initial site plan, the "Landscaping" note within the
"General Notes" on Sheet 1 states (in part) "All street trees shall be outside of the ROW within a 5' wide
landscaping and maintenance easement... " Please clarify and correct this discrepancy. A plat for the required
ten (10) foot landscaping and maintenance easement will be required in conjunction with the final site plan.
10. [Application Plan (ZMA201300016) and 32.5.2(i)]: An access easement must be provided to give public
access on the private streets, including within and through Avinity I all the way through to Avon Street. Please
modify the note about "Access into Avinity ll... " on Sheet 3 to address public access through Avinity I to Avon
Street. The access easement plat will be required in conjunction with the final site plan.
11. [Application Plan (ZMA201300016)]: Because the private street configuration of Moffat Street has been
modified to now include cul-de-sacs at both ends, please prepare and submit revised Road Plans for review and
approval. (Please refer to review comments from Mr. Matthew Wentland, CDD -Engineering.)
12. [Proffers (ZMA201300016)1: The "Setbacks" note within the "General Notes" on Sheet 1 states "Cash in lieu
of affordable units will be provided." Please modify this note to specify the number of units for which cash is to
be provided in lieu of providing constructed affordable dwelling units (required to be 15% of total residential
units per Proffer #2).

Initial Site Plan Review

Mr. Padalino:
As requested, I've reviewed the Initial Site Plan, dated November 6, 2017, for the
proposed residential development, referenced above. Since the site will be served by
public water and sewer systems, VDH will have no involvement.
If there are any questions or concerns, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
Sincerely,
Alan Mazurowski
