Critical Issues
1. The existing MCCOMB ST is incorrectly labeled on the plan as MCCOMB RD. Please correct to
read MCCOMB ST.
2. WAYLAND RD is not an acceptable road name, as there is already a WAYLAND DR that exists
in the county.
Per Part I, Section 4-a of the County's Road Naming and Property Numbering Manual
(page 6 of PDF):
"A proposed road name which duplicates an existing or reserved road name in
Albemarle County or the City of Charlottesville shall not be approved. An
exception may be made for cul-de-sacs which have the same name as the road
from which they originate (example: "Amberfield Court" which originates from
"Amberfield Drive")."
A new road name will need to be submitted. A suggestion that keeps "WAYLAND" in
the name could be WAYLAND HOUSE LN or a similar name that has a word after
WAYLAND. Please keep in mind, "A road name shall not exceed more than sixteen (16)
characters including spaces and the designator's abbreviation." (Part I, Section 4-c).
Note that if this proposed road will connect to the existing PLEASANT GREEN ST, then a
solution would be to simply use this name. Renaming PLEASANT GREEN ST would
require agreement by all property owners affected by the change, and would be put on
the soonest available Board of Supervisors agenda for approval.
We recommend providing three (3) candidate names to our office for review,
in case your first choices are not acceptable.
Recommendations
1. We strongly recommend against using BURFORD RD, as there is an existing BUFORD ST on
the adjacent property. This has the potential to cause confusion during emergency response.
Per Part I, Section 4-j of the County's Road Naming and Property Numbering Manual (page
7 of PDF).
"No proposed name shall be accepted which is a homonym of an official road name or
may be easily confused with an official road name (example: "Forrestview" and
"Forestvue")."
We recommend providing three (3) candidate names to our office for review, in
case your first choices are not acceptable.
Additional Notes
It appears that the road labeled as Private Alley' and Private Travelway' will not be used
for addressing any structures, and thus does not require a name. However, if three (3) or
more structures need to be addressed off of this road (either in this phase or Phase II),
then it will require a name at that time.
