Mr. Hambleton:
The City of Charlottesville Parks and Recreation department understands that a rezoning
application (ZMA 2019-00008) has been submitted for the rezoning of the property located
at the intersection of Rio Road and John Warner Parkway (PIN 06100-00-00-167C0).
The Applicant is committing to the installation of enhanced landscape buffers, which may
include grading within the 5.9 acre trail easement located at John Warner Parkway and Rio
Road. The buffer will consist of natural undisturbed vegetation and the planting of a mix of
deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs locally native to Virginia. The plantings will be
planted to a 30' depth within a SO'buffer as shown on the ZMA 2019-00008 Application
Plan. Installation and maintenance will be the responsibility of the developer. The City has
no objections to creation of the landscaping buffer or grading within the trail easement and
shall grant to the developer the necessary easements for all such grading, planting, and
continued maintenance of plantings within the trail easement prior to site plan approval.
The grading must avoid impact to the existing trail, and repairs to existing erosion within
the easement shall be allowed as part of the development.
Sincerely,
Todd Brown
Interim Director, Charlottesville Department of Parks and Recreation
