Albemarle County Planning Services (Senior Planner) — Paty Satemye, psatemve(a),albemarle.org — Required changes:
Comments to be addressed with the Final Site Plan and Final Subdivision Plat submission:
1. A site plan meeting all the requirements of section 32.6 of Chapter 18 of the Code.
2. [18-2.4, Comp Plan, 32.5.2(A), 14-302(A)(8)] Bonus Factors. Residential density bonuses are not available for
these parcels. The maximum number of residential units that will be allowed on for this development will be
those allowed for the R-6 zoning without the use of any bonuses. Reduce the number of residential units to 6
units per acre. The Comp Plan does not designate residential as a primary use in Office/Research &
Development (R&D)/Flex/Light Industrial areas. 2.4 states "The provision of bonus factors is intended to
encourage development which reflects the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan. Residential density
bonuses are not available in areas where the Comprehensive Plan does not designate residential as a primary
use.
3. 132.5.2(b) & 14-303(G)] Dedication of open space; Ownership of common areas. Provide the following note:
"Open Space is hereby dedicated to the HOA. " Provide information on the HOA that will be maintained the
open space. Ensure that the open space will be owned and maintained by an HOA.
4. 132.5.1, 32.5.2(a), 14-302(B)((8), & 4.191 Yards. Address the following:
a) Clarify what the rectangles on the rear of the buildings are with labels and ensure they meet setback
requirements. If they are decks they can not go into the setback more than 4' and there appears to be
multiple lots where these rectangles extend further than that into the rear setbacks. This includes, but may
not be limited to, Lots 1, 2 & 6.
b) Add a note specifying the maximum encroachment allowed into the setback for items such as covered
porches, balconies, decks, etc.
c) Revised the "side setbacks" shown on the proposed residential lots. The side setback is "0" and not 5' as
shown on the site plan/subdivision plat. Side setbacks should be represented as zero. However, building
separation labels, as shown in a few places, should be added between each set of townhomes in order to
specify that requirement. Please note, building separation and building setbacks are not the same
requirements and should not be treated as such.
d) Ensure all garage setbacks are met. It appears that at least one, and possibly two, residential unit does not
meet the minimum IS' front setback for the garage.
5. 132.5.2(a), 32.5.2(b), 32.5.2(i)] Information regarding the proposed use. Provide the acreages for each proposed
residential lot and open space area. Address the following:
a) The acreage of the development lots should be included.
b) Provide the Open Space letter designation for Open Space B on sheet 1.
6. 132.5.2(g), 14-302(A)(5) & 14-303(L)] Onsite sewage system setback lines. Revise the existing conditions sheet
to show any existing sewer lines, drainfields, or water lines. There are existing buildings on this site, yet none
of the water or sanitary sewer/septic infrastructure is shown other than a well location. Included all existing
information on the existing infrastructure.
7. [14-302(A)(9)] Building site on proposed lot. Revise the Building Site note on the coversheet to state the correct
lots numbers and ensure it is revised once the number of lots is reduced based upon other comments.
8. [14-302(A)(11)] Building site on proposed lot. Revise the Building Site note on the coversheet to state the
correct lots numbers and ensure it is revised once the number of lots is reduced based upon other comments.
9. [14-302(A)(15)] Identification ofall owners and certain interest holders. Revise the plat/plan to include the
names, addressed of each owner of record and holder of any easements affecting the site. Deed book and page
references must be included for all existing easements, and the owners of those easements must be specified.
10. 132.5.2(i) & (n)] Address the following:
a) Revise the internal road centerlines to be designed correctly for the areas that have parking on one side.
The centerline of the road should not be in the center of the paved drive aisle areas when there is parking
only on one side.
b) Provide a second road sections for those portions of the road that include parking on one side. Ensure that
the parking is shown properly and that the remaining drive aisles meet the minimum requirements for
VDOT, Engineering and Fire Rescue.
c) Dimension the width, and centerline radii, and corner radii of all roads and ensure that the roads meet or
exceed minimum road requirements. Note that although road centerline is provided on sheet 3 in a table
the corresponding labels are not provided in the plan on the same page. The labels must be provided.
d) Revise the label for Berkmar Drive to include the state route number.
e) Revise the label for the existing access easement to TMP45-112F to include the correct deed book and page
number. The information provided does not look correct.
f) Please note VDOT's comment on the proximity of the entrance to TMP45-112F to the existing road. The
location must be approved by VDOT, Engineering, and Fire Rescue or be revised in order meet all of their
requirements.
g) Extend Sweede Street to the north and south to go to the edge of the parcel. It must extend all the way to
the edge of the parcel unless or it must be demonstrated that they cannot be built closer. Also, please note
that although VDOT has commented that the connection to the south should be removed they have clarified
in an email to the planning reviewer that they can not "require" the connection, not that it must be removed.
The County's connectivity requirement supports its inclusion.
h) Ensure that the right of way location is shown correctly on Woodburn Road. The location of the property
line/right of way, and whether if is a right of way or prescriptive easement does not appear to match with
the County's GIS. Ensure if it is a prescriptive easement that sufficient width is provided between
Woodburn Road and the proposed residential lots so that they will not be considered double frontage lots,
which are not allowed.
i) The internal road crosswalks are not supported by VDOT but should be included to meet County
requirements. Therefore, the HOA must maintain the crosswalks within the public road right of way.
Ensure that that is included in the HOA legal documents that must be submitted for County review.
11. 132.5.2(1) & 14-303(L)] Address the following:
a) Provide the location of any existing or proposed utilities and utility easements including drainage, sight
distance, water, sanitary sewer, telephone, cable, electric and gas. Indicate the deed book and page
reference for all exiting utility easements located on the property.
b) There is a proposed sanitary sewer easement that crosses Berkmar Drive and goes through TMP shown on
this site plan and plat. However, the parcels in questions are not include in the list of parcels for this
plan/plat. Clarify what if this has been, or will be, approved under a separate subdivision/easement plat. If
so then show it as "existing" if it is expected to be approved prior to this site plan and subdivision plat
approval. The sewer line depicted must be approved prior to, or as part of, this subdivision plat and site
plan.
12. 132.5.2(b) & (n) & 14-302(A)(8)] Proposed Lots, Information on proposed uses, existing and proposed
improvements. Address the following:
a) As specified above, the number proposed lots must be reduced since residential density bonuses cannot be
used on parcels with this comprehensive plan designation.
b) Revise all calculations based upon the reduced number of residential lots.
c) Dimension the parking, driveways, garages and on street parking spots. Ensure all meet the minimum
requirements. It appears at least one driveway does not meet the minimum depth requirement to be
counted as a parking space.
d) Provide all proposed lot dimensions. All rear, many sides and some front lot line dimensions have not been
provided on the site plan/plat.
e) A calculation for the required recreational areas has been provided, a tot lot area has been shown, and a
recreational field was mentioned in a note but not located. Ensure all of the required recreational area is
shown, the areas specified, and that all recreational requirements are met and provided, including the
maximum slope for any recreational area.
f) Provide and show pedestrian connections to the tot lot, and other recreational uses, that includes
handicapped ramps and warning strips in the final site plan.
g) Specify the maximum height and number of stories for the proposed buildings. See Fire Rescue comment
on the requirements if the buildings are above a specified height.
h) Revise the parking calculations based upon the reduction of residential units based upon R-6 zoning
without bonus densities.
i) Specify the maximum height of all proposed retaining walls.
j) Include all outdoor lighting, including front porch lights, on the site plan and provide a photometric plan,
specification, details and charts. Show the location of any outdoor lighting. Any free standing or building
mounted lighting, including front porch lights, must be shown in a photometric plan and meet all
requirements. Ensure all lighting meets County requirements.
j) If any signs are proposed show them on the site plan (approval of signage is approved by separate
submission).
13. [32.5.2(m)] Ingress and Egress. Revise the plan/plat to show the distance to the centerline of the nearest street
intersection in both direction and not just one.
14. 132.5.2(n) & 4.7] Ensure that the open space areas are not comprised of over 80% of the items specified in
4.7(c)(3) Limitation on certain elements.
15. 132.5.2 a,14-302(B)(6)] General information, Tax Map and parcel number. Provide the current name of the
owner, zoning district, tax map and parcel number and present use of abutting parcels. Address the following:
a) No information is provided on sheet 2 for TMP 45-112F 1 & 45-112172. Provide all required information on
sheet 2.
b) No uses are specified on any of the parcels on sheet 2. Provide that information for the subject parcel and
the adjoining parcels.
c) Revise the information from TMP 45-86A to be correct. It appears to show older ownership and Deed
Book and Page references.
d) The owner information for TMP 45-84A, 45-84A1, 45-85 & 45-85A does not appear to match those shown
on the County's GIS. Ensure all of this information is accurate and complete. It appears that two of the
parcels have more than one TMP associated with them. With each of the two TMPs associated with the
parcel it also appears there may be two different owners. Please provide the planning reviewer the
appropriate documentation specifying the ownership of each of these parcels and ensure all of the address
information is complete on the cover sheet.
e) Tax Map # 45-84A1 & 45-85A are not list in the "Tax Map No.:" area of the cover sheet. Either include
this information or clarify why it is not required to do so.
f) Provide a north arrow on Sheet 4.
16. 132.5.1(c), 14-303(C), (E) & (1)] Dimensions, boundary lines, adjoining lot lines and Monumentation. Address
the following:
a) Ensure that all boundary lines for the property are shown correctly. There appears to be a boundary
missing between TMP 45-112F and TMP 45-84A.
b) Ensure all existing and proposed monumentation is included and shown. There appears to be property
boundary corners and intersections that do not have a pin found or proposed.
c) Be sure to include a bearing and distance for all existing property lines. There appears to be bearing and
distance measure missing along Berkmar Drive and between TMP 45-112F and TMP 45-84A.
d) Ensure that the adjoining lot lines are shown correctly. There appears to be an incorrect boundary TMP 45-
112F.
17. 132.5.a(c), 32.5.2 d & 14-302(A)(12)] Topography and proposed grading. Address the following:
a) Ensure that the design regulations for managed -steep slopes are met.
b) Revise the line work for the managed slope hatch so that it is consistent. The different areas appear to be
shown differently, and the area further north is hard to see on Sheet because of this.
c) Provide labels for the elevation of the existing and proposed topography/grading. Sheets 2 & 5 appear to
not show any label for existing elevation and sheet 5 appears to have some errors in the placement of the
elevation labels on the grading lines.
18. 132.5.20), 32.5.2(k) & 14-302(A)(5)] Existing and proposed sewer and drainage facilities. Address the
following:
a) There are existing buildings on the site, but no sanitary sewer connection or existing drainfreld appears to
be shown on the existing conditions sheet. Ensure existing condition sheets shows all existing sewer and
drainage infrastructure.
b) Proposed sewer and drainage facilities. Indicate the direction of flow in all pipes and watercourses with
arrows.
c) Provide the location and dimension of all existing and proposed private and public easements.
19. 132.5.2(o) & 14-302(A)14)] Areas to be dedicated or reserved. Add a note on the plan stating that "All new
public street right-of-way shown hereon are hereby dedicated to the County for public use."
20. 114-303(A), (1), (0), (P), (Q) & (S)] On the subdivision plat provide the following:
a) Statement of Consent to division (use wording provided in the 14-303(A).
b) Bearing and distance ties between not less than two permanent monuments. This includes proposed
easement.
c) Signature panels for each owner.
d) Signature panel for County agent.
e) Notary Panels
f) A water supply note, using wording specified in 14-303(Q).
g) At least 4 control points.
h) Reference benchmarks for the survey
21. [32.5.2(r)] Symbols and abbreviations. Either revise the legend to include all linetypes or clearly label all
linework to specify what that linetype represents. Some labels along the linework are unable to be read.
22. [Comment] Provide a copy of all exiting off -site easements from off -site property owners or submit proposed
off -site easement plat for review. Any proposed required easements, and their legal documents, must be
submitted separately from the initial site plan, reviewed, approved and recorded prior to the initial site plan
approval.
23. [Comment] Provide sight distance easement and linework for the entrance coming out of TNT 45-112F.
24. 114-303(G) & 14-3171 An instrument assuring the perpetual maintenance of the open space areas, and any other
improvements that are to be maintained by the HOA in perpetuity require County Attorney approval prior to
final site plan approval.
25. [14-316] VDOT approval of all entrances onto public streets is required prior to approval of the site plan or
subdivision plat.
26. [Comment] See the other SRC reviewer comments attached. All SRC reviewer comments must be sufficiently
address prior to final site plan approval.
Comments to be addressed with the Final Site Plan submission:
27. 132.7.9.5, 32.7.9.3 & 32.7.9.41 Provide street trees along Berkmar Drive and Woodburn Road. Street trees are
required along all existing and proposed streets. No trees are shown along Berkmar Drive. Woodburn Road is
shown to have tree preservation areas. However, the majority of the tree preservation area along the road are
also within an overhead easement. Also, it appears that most if not all of the trees along Woodburn Road may
either be within the easement, may not be healthy, or may not be correct type of trees for street trees. Provide
all required information for existing trees utilized to meet landscaping requirements.
28. 132.7.9.5 & 32.7.9.4(c)] Provide street trees at the required spacing and of the correct type along all streets. In
addition to the comment above, ensure that the correct type of trees (large shade trees) are included in the
landscape plan and at the correct quantity based upon the spacing requirements. Large shade trees are required
at 50 feet on center for the full length of all existing and proposed roads. If VDOT requirements and/or utilities
restrict specific areas of the road frontage the same number of street trees are required but they can be spaced
closer together and/or when necessary, and with approval, placed within landscape easements within the
individual development parcels.
29. 132.5.2 (e), (n) 32.6.20) & 32.7.9.4 (c)] Address the following:
a) Provide a landscape plan that shows all required landscaping as well as the calculation, charts and tables
showing that all landscaping requirements are met.
b) Preserve all existing trees that are to remain. There are "Tree Preservation Areas" within the site. If they
are to remain include the following:
i. Areas and other features shown on landscape plan. The landscape plan shall show the trees to be
preserved, the limits of clearing, the location and type of protective fencing, grade changes requiring
tree wells or walls, and trenching or tunneling proposed beyond the limits of clearing.
ii. Conservation checklist. The applicant shall sign a conservation checklist approved by the agent to
ensure that the specified trees will be protected during construction. Except as otherwise expressly
approved by the agent in a particular case, the checklist shall conform to the specifications in the
Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Handbook, pages I11-393 through I11-413, and as hereafter
amended.
c) Do not include areas impacted by easements in the "Tree Preservation areas".
d) Since the full length of road frontage along Woodburn Road has an existing easement it appears that there
is insufficient tree preservation area to be allowed the tree preservation bonus. Although tree preservation
areas not within easement can be utilized to meet some of the required landscaping for the site plan please
also note the comment above in reference to residential density bonuses not being available within these
parcels because of their Comprehensive Plan designation.
e) On the existing conditions sheet label the area of existing trees with the type of trees (evergreen, deciduous,
or a mix of both) and show areas where existing vegetation will be removed.
f) Ensure that all "Tree Preservation Areas" have trees in them. Also, ensure areas which do not have woods
are not included in the preservation areas shown on the layout or in the calculation.
g) Ensure that the street trees shown will be allowed. If not, show that alternative locations are provided
either within or outside of the right-of-way. If the trees will be outside of the right-of-way landscaping
easements will be required with ownership and perpetual maintenance of the easements and landscaping
put in place prior to the final site plan approval.
30. 132.8.21 Infrastructure improvementplans. All infrastructure required to construct the development shall be
reviewed, approved, and built or bonded before the final site plan can be approved. This includes all offsite
improvements required to serve the development, including road plans, WPO plan, water and sewer
connections.
22. [Comment] Provide a note on the site plan and subdivision plat that specifies the state requirement of right to
access of the cemetery.

Review #1
Dear Ms. Satemye:
The Department of Transportation, Charlottesville Residency Transportation and Land Use
Section, has reviewed the above referenced plan as submitted by Collins Engineering, dated 4
February 2019, and offers the following comments:
1. Is Parcel 45-86A being redeveloped in the near future? It appears that the Albemarle
County SPCA acquired this parcel in October 2018. Unless this parcel is expected to be
acquired and redeveloped in the near future, this stubout is not necessary; therefore, the
intersection is not necessary and a curve should be used. Note that the proposed
development appears to meet connectivity requirements with proposed connections to
both Berkmar Drive and Woodburn Road.
2. Please provide an exhibit demonstrating the grading necessary to extend Swede Street to
the North, and identify limits of temporary grading easements necessary should the road
be extended.
3. Marked crosswalks do not appear to be warranted and should be removed.
4. For cul-de-sacs with radii less than 45', approval of Albemarle County Fire & Rescue is
required.
5. The proposed intersection of Empire Street and Marsac Street does not meet corner
clear/spacing requirements.
6. The curve and reverse curve on the western end of Marsac Street and through the
intersection with Empire street do not appear necessary.
7. The proposed entrance to Parcel 45-112F does not meet corner clearance/spacing
requirements.
8. Street trees cannot be within 30 feet of intersection curb radii.
9. Provide turn lane warrants for both Berkmar Drive and Woodburn Road.
10. Intersection sight distance lines and profiles must be provided for all intersections.
11. Note that the final site and subdivision (road) plan 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.

Subject: SDP201900010 Berkmar Overlook - Initial site Plan & SUB 201900030 Berkmar Overlook
- Preliminary Subdivision Plat
Attachments: RWSA General Notes.doc; RWSA Utilities - Berkmar Overlook.pdf
Paty,
RWSA has reviewed the Preliminary Site Plan and Subdivision Plat for Berkmar Overlook as prepared by Collins
Engineering and dated February 4, 2019 and has the following comments:
Sheet No. 2 — Existing Conditions
1. There are existing RWSA water mains along three sides of the project area — along Woodburn Road (12" DIP &
CIP), between Woodburn and Berkmar on the northeast boundary of the project (12" CIP), and along Berkmar
Drive (30" DIP). These lines need to be shown correctly and labeled with ownership, size, and material (e.g. 12"
RWSA CIP WL). A GIS map is shown for general location of the water mains; but exact locations need to be field -
verified.
2. Show existing RWSA 15' wide easement where it intersects with TMP 45-12F1 and 45-112F2.
3. The applicant should note that the existing 12" and 30" water mains are on different pressure zones. The 12"
water mains have an HGL of 795' and the 30" water main has an HGL of 652'.
Sheet No. 3 — Layout & Utility Plan
1. Correctly show and label existing RWSA 12" water mains and easements this sheet. The 12" waterline in
Woodburn Road is incorrectly labeled as an 8" water line.
2. A connection is shown to the existing 12" water main in Woodburn Road. See note 3 on Sheet No. 2 regarding
the two separate pressure zones located adjacent to the project area. The applicant will need to confirm with
RWSA and ACSA the allowable connection points to serve this development.
3. RWSA is in the preliminary stages of design of a future 36" raw water main that will be constructed along
Woodburn Road in front of the proposed development. The exact alignment is not yet determined; however,
RWSA may need to pursue easements along the frontage of Woodburn for the construction of the water main.
These easements may intersect the proposed tree preservation and open space areas along Woodburn Road.
Sheet No. 4 — Layout & Utility Plan
1. Correctly show and label existing RWSA 12" and 30" water mains and easements this sheet.
2. A connection is shown to the existing 30" water main in Berkmar Drive. See note 3 on Sheet No. 2 regarding the
two separate pressure zones located adjacent to the project area. The applicant will need to confirm with RWSA
and ACSA the allowable connection points to serve this development.
3. The utility plan shows three proposed crossings of existing RWSA water mains with sanitary sewer lines. All
crossings should adhere to AWWA and VDH guidelines regarding separation of water and sanitary sewer lines
and should be made with a minimum vertical separation of 18".
Sheet No. 5 — Grading and Drainage Plan
1. Correctly show and label existing RWSA 12" and 30" water mains and easements this sheet.
2. The proposed storm sewer doghouse manhole at the intersection of Berkmar Drive and proposed "Road A"
must be a minimum of 5' off the existing 30" water main (from the outside of the pipe to the outside of the
structure).
Sheet No. 6 — Notes & Details
1. Include the RWSA General Water and Sewer Notes this sheet (attached).
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

A marked crosswalk will be necessary across Empire Street at the Berkmar Drive Intersection. At the Swede SUEmpire St
Intersection curb ramps should be installed across all four legs of the intersection and crosswalk paving markings are
recommended. Pavement markings at these local road intersections will require a maintenance agreement. Traffic calming
designs should be considered along Empire primarily at the Swede St Intersection. This will likely see some cut -through traffic
between Woodburn and Berkmar and the grade will likely encourage speeding. Potential options might include bump outs at
the intersection or landscaped center island/roundabout treatment at the Swede SUEmpire St intersection.
