to follow the "Neighborhood Streets — VDOT Public Roads" standard: all of Wesley Circle, Noush
Lane, and Road E. The streets shown do not have the required features for the Neighborhood Streets
type, including parking along one side of the street. Please revise. If the layout and design of Block 8B
is affected due to widening the right of way to incorporate on -street parking, the site plan and
preliminary plat may need to go through the site review committee again.
d. Please label all roads visible on Block 8B final subdivision plat with a width measurement and state
whether the road is public or private. Prior to final plat approval, all street right of ways that have been
dedicated to public use or under private easement should feature a label stating the deed book and page
number.
2. [General Comment] Lots 16-27 do not meet minimum frontage requirements because their driveway is shown
along Alley A/Noush Court and the other side of the lot fronts along a private street "Road E." See page 30 of
the Code of Development for further information.
a. Per discussion between staff and the applicant at the Site Review Committee Meeting, the plans will
be revised so that Road E is designed to the "Neighborhood Streets — VDOT Public Roads standard in
Section 2.8.1 of the COD.

These lots must be served by a public street. See comment #2 above for further information.
6. [32.5.2 (o) and ZMA201500007] Please expand the Block Area Summary on Sheet 3 to include all the columns
contained in Table 2 of the Code of Development. The required and proposed acreages of each feature should
also be stated so that staff can verify compliance with the minimum requirements for greenspace/amenities, as
well as the development area requirements.

c. Under "Land Areas" on Sheet 1, please state the acreage of land within the "development area" as
shown in Table 2 on page 6 of the Code of Development.
d. The "Land Areas" note should also contain the proposed acreage of amenity areas.
7. [32.5.2 (a)] The land area of all blocks in Brookhill may not be modified more than 15% of the gross land area
shown in Table 2 (page 6) of the Code of Development. Please be aware that the proposed gross land area (20.7
acres) of Block 8A and 8B is currently modified by 20% (5.1 acres less than the acreage specific in the COD),
according to the Total Project Area on Sheet 1. This is not permitted.
a. The "Land Areas" and "Open Space Provided" sections on Sheet 1 do not match the "Total Project
Area" on Sheet 1, or the Block Area Summary on Sheet 3, or the Open Space Calculation on Sheet 5.
Please revise and comply with the requirements of Table 2 of the Code of Development.
8. [32.5.2 (a)] Please amend the watershed note on Sheet 1 to state whether that is a water supply watershed.
9. [32.5.2 (a)] Prior to final site plan approval and plat approval, please revise the Existing Conditions and all
other applicable drawings where adjacent properties are visible. The correct so that the correct Tax Map Parcel
numbers for the Block 3A Ice Rink and Block 4 apartments may exist by the time of final review and these
should be labeled with the correct deed book and instrument number.
10. 132.5.2 (a)] On Sheet 1, please state the Special Use Permit application number that was approved to allow
grading activities in the Flood Hazard Overlay District. The approved application number is SP201500025 and
the County approval date was November 9, 2016.
a. Please add the approved conditions of SP201500025 to the final site plan and plat.
11. [32.5.2 (a)] Under Zoning on Sheet 1, please state the Board of Supervisors approval date of November 9,
2016 to the notes for both SP201500025 and ZMA201500007.

following overlay districts: EC - Entrance Corridor Overlay, AIA — Airport Impact Overlay, and Managed and
Preserved Steep Slopes Overlay Zoning Districts.
13. [32.5.2 (c)] The limits of managed and Preserved Steep Slopes are not shown on the drawings as stated in the
Note on Sheet 1. Please show the limits of these features.
a. Please be aware that all Preserved Steep Slopes areas must be located within open space and need to be
shown on the final site plan and plat.
14. [32.5.2 (a)] Please add a note to Sheet 1 titled "Block Classification" with "Neighborhood Density Residential"
as the block type for Block 8B, as stipulated by the Brookhill Code of Development.
15. [32.5.2 (b)] The Zoning Administrator and Director of Planning have determined that the proposed use in
Block 8B is considered "Attached Single -Family Dwelling Units" as described in Sections 2.2.2 and 2.3.2.3 of
the Code of Development and the County Zoning Ordinance. Please amend the "Proposed Use" on Sheet 1 to
state "55 Attached Single -Family Residential Parcels — 110 Total Dwelling Units. See attached email.

17. [32.5.2 (b)] Please state the minimum and maximum lot sizes permitted in Block 8B in accordance with Section
2.3.2.3 on page 18 of the Code of Development.
18. [32.5.2 (a)] Please amend the setbacks note on Sheet 1. It should state all permitted setbacks (including porches
and garages, as well as the notes column) in accordance with Table 2.3.2.3 from page 18 of the Brookhill Code
of Development.
a. The porches setback figure is incorrect, porches must be setback a minimum of 5' along the front
property lines.
b. Please revise the garage setback figures stated. The exhibit from page 30 of the Code of Development
should be added as an inset to the setbacks note. The garage setbacks are different depending on the
road scenario adjacent to a given lot.
19. [32.5.2 (a)] The minimum parking requirement calculation note on Sheet 1 is incorrect. Parking must be
provided in accordance with Section 2.9 of the COD, and the garage and driveway exhibit shown on page 30
of the Code of Development.
a. Each single-family lot must have a minimum of 2 off-street parking spaces. Since each lot will have

lot) on private lots. Please add the additional parking spaces as required.
20. [32.5.2 (b)] Please amend the "Allowable Density" note on Sheet 1. The allowable density for Block 8B is 2-
6 dwelling units/acre.
21. [32.5.2 (b)] Please provide a calculation of the proposed units per acre for Block 8B and overall Block 8. The
"Proposed Density" note on sheet 1 does not state this.
a. Please be aware that the du/acre proposed within Block 8B is approximately 15 du/acre as proposed.
The Zoning Administrator has stated that the 110 dwelling units can be constructed in Block 8B as long
as the future uses in Block 8A are not dwelling units. Essentially, the overall density throughout the
entirety of Block 8 cannot exceed the 2-6 unit range.
22. [32.5.2 (a)] Per Table 2.3.2.3 of the Code of Development, please show the minimum and maximum setback
lines locations across all applicable drawings. Label each setback line as a front, side, corner side, or rear setback
and state the dimensions in the label. Setbacks should be measured from the proposed right-of-way.

sidewalks on opposite sides of vehicular travel ways.
a. Please label the dimensions and surface materials in compliance with the County's design standards.
24. [32.5.2 (n)] Please label and call out the locations of the primary and secondary building entrances to the
building in accordance with the Neighborhood Density Residential block regulations Section 2.2.3 (page 11) of
the Code of Development.
a. Lots 16-27 and 31-35 do not currently meet the required building entrance locations since they do not
front on a public street or amenity area. Final site plan and plat will not be approved until these lots
front on a public street or an amenity area.
25. [ZMA201500007] No setbacks lines are shown on Lots 32-37, please revise.
26. [32.5.2 (a)] Block 8B must provide the minimum recreation area and facilities specified in Section 4.16 of the
Zoning Ordinance. State the equipment for the playground area as well as what kind of sport court is being

label on the site plan drawings.
30. [COD; 32.5.2(a)] Some retaining wall heights exceed the 6' maximum requirement specified in the COD on
pages 23-24. Please revise.
31. [32.5.2 (e)] Please provide more details about the existing landscape features as described in Section 18-
32.7.9.4(c).
a. The Albemarle County Conservation Plan Checklist and Chapter 3.38 of the Virginia Erosion and
Sediment Control handbook. The Conservation Plan Checklist will need to be signed by the owners
and provided as an exhibit on the final site plan for Block 3A.
32. [32.7.9] The landscaping plan has none of the required information regarding the proposed landscaping, and is
not clear. A detailed landscape plan in accordance with the ordinance is required for final site plan at a scale of
1"=30'. It appears that required landscaping is located within lots, if so, an easement on those lots will be
required. Additional comments will be given at final site plan once a full landscape plan with more detail is
submitted.
33. [32.7.9] Please provide individual landscaping schedules for required landscaping in accordance with Sections
32.7.9.5, 32.7.9.6, 32.7.9.7, 32.7.9.8 of the Zoning Ordinance. Each schedule should state the Botanical Name
and Common Name of each species proposed, the proposed caliper and height at time of installation, and the
canopy coverage canopy coverage area per plant species. The canopy area for each species can be found on
the Albemarle County Recommended Plants List and Albemarle County Plants Canopy Calculations tables.
PDFs of these documents can be accessed through the Department of Community Development webpage:
LINK.
34. [32.7.9.5, and 14-410, and 14-4221 Street trees are not shown along Roads F, E, and Alley A. Please revise
the landscaping plan.
35. [32.7.9.61 The 9 space parking lot at the south of Block 8B will need to be screened in accordance with Section
32.7.9.6 and 32.7.9.7 of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff cannot verify if the provided trees meet the minimum 5%
canopy requirement.
36. [32.7.9.8 (a)] Please provide a calculation for the minimum tree canopy required and proposed in Block 8B
based on the use type. The minimum tree canopy is 20% based on the density of Block 8B.
a. [32.7.9.8 (b)] Please provide a landscape schedule that lists the Botanical Name and Common Name
of each species is included, the proposed caliper and height at time of installation, and the canopy
coverage area per plant species as stated on the Albemarle County Plants Canopy Calculations (this
table should be specifically for the 20% minimum tree canopy requirement).
37. [32.7.9.91 Please add a note to the Landscape plans stating "All landscaping shall be installed by the first
planting season following the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy within the development."
38. [32.7.9.91 Please add a note to the Landscape plans stating "All landscaping and screening shall be maintained
in a healthy condition by the current owner or a property owners' association, and replaced when necessary.
Replacement material shall comply with the approved landscape plan."
39. [32.6.2 (h)] Please provide a signature panel with a line for each member of the Site Review Committee. A
copy of the SRC signature panel template is attached.
40. [ZMA201500007] Per Proffer #9A-C and Section 2.13 of the Code of Development, the historic marker to
commemorate the Brookhill manor house shall be installed with the first phase of development. The marker is
shown in different areas on the road plans for Block 3 and the Block 8B plans. Please clarify the location.
41. [ZMA201500007] Notes 1 and 4 on Sheet 1 conflict with what is shown on the plans.
a. Drainage easements and required landscaping buffers (20' Polo Ground Road and the Block 19 buffer)
must be within private easements to be owned and maintained by the Brookhill HOA. These will not
be dedicated to public use, so Note 2 needs to be revised for clarity.
b. Note 4 needs to be revised. If any landscaping required by the Zoning Ordinance will be within open
space parcels, the HOA will maintain those features. All required street trees must be located within
public or private road right of ways.
42. [14-317] An instrument evidencing maintenance of all required improvements that will not be owned or
maintained by the County is required with the final. This includes private street and alley easements, sidewalk
easements (if applicable), buffer easements, landscaping easements (if applicable), etc.
43. [General Comment] Please provide a narrative regarding the timeline for installation of the required 20'
undisturbed and new landscaping buffer around the Brookhill manor house in Block 19 that is adjacent to Block
8B. Please see Section 2.4.2 of the Code of Development for the manor house buffer requirements.
a. The Road 113 application (SUB201800115) proposes to disturb land and some existing trees
on/adjacent to Block 19. Some drawings delineate an "Existing 20' buffer" near Block 19. The buffer
needs to be located adjacent to but outside of the parcel boundaries of Block 19, per Section 2.4.2 and
2.13 of the COD.
b. Pending applicant response to this comment, western and southern portions of the buffer may need to
be shown on the Block 8B final site plan as required landscaping. The COD appears to allow the Block
19 buffer requirement to be satisfied in two general methods:
i. Submit a subdivision plat to create the 3 +/- acre Block 19 parcel and include a buffer easement
around the parcel on that plat. A landscaping typical section for the buffer will need to be provided
as a plat detail specifying the types and quantities of vegetation to be planted in the buffer easement.
ii. Install each side of the buffer as part of the subdivision plat, site plan, or road plan for adjacent
blocks, including Block 8B. The landscaping plan for these applications will specify the types and
quantities of vegetation to be planted in the buffer easement.
44. [4.17] Please provide a full lighting plan with the final site plan in compliance with Section 4.17 of the Zoning
Ordinance.
45. [General Comment] The plans label a Day Breach Dam Break Inundation Zone. However, Albemarle County
GIS shows no state dam break inundation zones within the development. Please clarify.
46. [General Comment] Please revise the Sheet List Table on Sheet 1 to match the sheet numbers provided.
47. [General Comment] Please see the attached document from the United States Postal Service regarding
approval by the USPS for mail delivery locations. It is up to the applicant to coordinate a centralized mail
delivery location for the lots in Block 8B in accordance with USPS requirements. Staff may ask for written
verification from the USPS that a mail delivery location has been approved by the post master during review of
the final plans.
Please contact Cameron Langille at the Department of Community Development at blan ig llekalbemarle.org or 296-

Memorandum
To: Cameron Langille
From: Emily Cox
Date: 20 Aug 2018
Subject: Brookhill — Block 8B - ISP (SDP201800054)
The initial site plan for Brookhill — Block 8B has been reviewed by Engineering. The following comments
will need to be addressed before approval:
1. WPO Plan must be approved before final site plan can be approved.
2. Road Plan must be approved before final site plan can be approved. Road plan must
include all roads encompassed by this site plan. There appears to be a road between
sections 4A & 8A as well as through 8A.
3. VDOT approval is necessary before final site plan can be approved.
4. The minimum ROW (or easement width) is 30' per the Design Standards Manual.
VDOT subdivision street design guide — Appendix b, section B-4-B-3-d states that
the pavement width can be reduced to 22ft, but the right-of-way must still be 30
feet.
5. Ensure all critical slopes, buffers, etc. are shown as approved on ZMA 2015-007 on all
applicable sheets.
6. Ensure the accurate FEMA 100 year floodplain is shown. The ZMA appeared to show the
500 year. Also, Note 4 states there is not floodplain, however there is floodplain shown on
the plans.
7. Show how the proposed impacts to the steep slopes and Greenway compare to the
approved ZMA.
8. On sheet 4, an approved VSMP plan is referenced. Provide the approved plan # and
facilitiy ID's that are proposed to be modified or removed.
9. Show all proposed parking space dimensions (at each parking area).
10. Show top and bottom elevations of proposed retaining walls. Note that per COD, Page 23,
the maximum height is six feet.
11. Please label contour elevations.
12. 2:1 Slopes should be avoided wherever possible. The 2:1 slopes behind lots 1-15 are not
desirable.
13. Water quality and quantity requirements will be fully evaluated with the VSMP Plan
submission. Please note that all concentrated outfalls must be analyzed to comply with
state requirements. Also, water quality summary table for overall Brookhill Development
must be provided.

Acceptable Road Names:
NOUSH LN
NOUSH CT
WESLEY CIR
Note: Road names must be on ALL pages of the site plan.
However, some things to note:
1. Noush Ln does not have anything addressed off it so it is technically not needed. If you are
going to extent it across the road, the road directly across from it on the site plan will also
need to be named Noush Ln.
2. It appears all the houses lots 1-15,38-55 appear to be facing Stella Ln. If this is the case
they will get Stella Ln addresses. Noush Ct can still be used but nothing will be addressed
off it.
3. Same for lots 16-27, if they are facing ROAD E, they will be addressed off that and it will
need a road name.
4. If this is the case for these roads you could potentially move Noush Ct to where ROAD E is
located and just have Noush Ct be an alley that does not need a name if all the houses are
addressed off Stella Ln.

Acceptable Road Names:
NOUSH LN
NOUSH CT
WESLEY CIR
Note: Road names must be on ALL pages of the site plan.
However, some things to note:
1. Noush Ln does not have anything addressed off it so it is technically not needed. If you are
going to extent it across the road, the road directly across from it on the site plan will also
need to be named Noush Ln.
2. It appears all the houses lots 1-15,38-55 appear to be facing Stella Ln. If this is the case
they will get Stella Ln addresses. Noush Ct can still be used but nothing will be addressed
off it.
3. Same for lots 16-27, if they are facing ROAD E, they will be addressed off that and it will
need a road name.
4. If this is the case for these roads you could potentially move Noush Ct to where ROAD E is
located and just have Noush Ct be an alley that does not need a name if all the houses are
addressed off Stella Ln.

Review #1
Dear Mr. Langille:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plans as submitted by Collins Engineering, dated 25
June 2018, and offers the following comments:
1. The entrance on to the proposed public road at the northern end of the site does not
appear to meet corner clearance requirements. This entrance does not appear on the
SUB201800115 plan, as noted on this plan.
2. Provide intersection site distance lines and profiles for all public road intersections and
entrances.
3. Note that the final site and subdivision plans must show conformance with the VDOT
Road Design Manual Appendices B(1) and F, as well as any other applicable standards,
regulations or other requirements.
Please provide two copies of the revised plan along with a comment response letter. If further
information is desired, please contact Justin Deel at 434-422-9894.
A VDOT Land Use Permit will be required prior to any work within the right-of-way. The
owner/developer must contact the Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section at (434) 422-9399 for information pertaining to this process.
Sincerely,

Reviewer: Shawn Maddox F Fire Rescue Requested Changes E
1 _ Noush Court does net meet the minimum 0' of clear travel width_ If this private street is going to serve as a primary means of
access for any dwelling units it must be increased in
width-
_ Streets with 20' or less of clear unobstructed travel width must be marked no parking on one side_ Please ensure street
parking is marked appropriately throughout this phase-
3- Add a hydrant in the area of Lot 1 or 16_ Based on the current layout use of a hydrant sho}xii on the plan could potentially
restrict any other vehicular traffic in this phase-
4- As these phases are approved and constructed please keep in mind that if a travel way exceeds 150' in length and the
proposed road connections are not made then an approved emergency apparatus turn around must be provided_ Any questions,
or necessary coordination, can be directed to the fire marshal's office-
5- No hydrants shown on sheet 6A, one should be added in this block unless spacing is verified

Date: November 23,2015
Subject: New Developments
In April 2012, the USPS revised regulation to clarify options for delivery and to provide the USPS
greater autonomy in determining how deliveries are added to the Postal Service network. While
curbline and sidewalk delivery remain viable and approved modes of delivery, the USPS will
determine how and when to approve these modes of delivery consistent with existing Postal
Operations Manual (POM) regulation regarding in -growth and both establishment and extension of
delivery.
Each year, new delivery addresses are added to our city, rual and contract routes which has a major
impact to our delivery cost. To control costs, we need to ensure new residential deliveries are being
made via centralized delivery. We must adhere to the guidelines that govern establishment of new
delivery. The City/County authorities (Planning and Zoning) can not give approval of delivery service.
The Postal Service cannot honor agreements that have been made between Planning and Zoning
and the developer.
At a minimum, the USPS will work with the builders and developers to determine what the best mode
of delivery is for the area prior to establishing or extending delivery service. However, as a national
agency, the USPS reserves the right to establish delivery in the most consistent and cost effective
means viable to meet our federal mandate of providing a free form of service that best meets the
need to establish and maintain a safe, reliable and efficient national Postal Service.
Please review the changes to the POM regarding Modes of Delivery and Delivery Equipment.
The changes are designed to enhance our ability to increase centralized and CBU delivery.
• Centralized and CBU delivery is now the default mode of delivery in business areas. Any
exceptions to centralized or CBU delivery mode in business areas must be approved by the District.
(631.2)
• For new residential delivery, CBU is now the default. Exceptions to permit curbline delivery must
be approved by the District. (631.32)
• New deliveries within an existing block with an established mode of delivery no longer assume the
existing mode of delivery. We can require a more efficient mode of delivery (sidewalk delivery, for
example). (631.41)
• While we do not control addresses for buildings, we do control the sequential ordering of addresses
within any centralized delivery equipment. (631.442)
• If more than one building in a complex has the same street address, the delivery equipment must
be grouped at a single location even if some of the units are in a different building. (631.452)
-2-
• Centralized delivery or CBU is the default option for delivery in mobile homes or trailer parks that
are permanent residences. Any exceptions to centralized or CBU delivery mode must be approved
by the District (631.462b)
• For dormitories and residence halls not directly affiliated with colleges, the Postal Service
determines the mode of delivery and can require the property owner to accept mail for all the
tenants. We will not distribute mail into centralized delivery equipment. (631.52)
• Delivery equipment must conform with the USPS standards for CBUs and high-rise delivery
equipment, USPS STD 4C wall mounted mail receptacles. Local offices do not have the authority to
approve any other centralized delivery equipment. (631.441)
• When obsolete delivery equipment is replaced in multi -unit buildings, it must be replaced with
equipment that meets current standards. (632.621)
The USPS standards include options for parcel lockers that we should ensure are provided.
There was also great consideration regarding safety of delivery, which also resulted in the
determination the the type of delivery warrented in your area.
