1" = 100'-0"1 Site Plan

A small, vibrant community featuring small, well designed homesand beautiful outdoor spaces walkable to Downtown Crozet

Neighborhood MissionThis neighborhood seeks to fill a housing niche which is currentlynot being filled in the Crozet area by incorporating the following:• Affordability achieved by clustering houses to reduce infrastructure

costs, building smaller homes, and building net-zero eergy readyhomes.

• Community achieved by designing the houses and neighborhoodto maximize shared outdoor space for interaction while stillproviding plenty of privacy and customizable private outdoorspace.

• Resiliency achieved by designing the efficient houses and greenspaces to use solar power, slow down storm runoff, whilerespecting and preserving existing woodlands, topography andriparian buffers.

Dwelling Concepts• Houses to be compact but with enough storage, utilizing the

shared pavilion for large gatherings.• Houses to be designed to be net-zero energy ready.• Houses to have dedicated energy recovery ventilation systems for

excellent indoor air quality.• Houses to have built-in radon remediation systems.• Houses to be "nested:" Sides facing private garden to have

generous windows, while the side facing the neighbor's garden tohave small and high windows to preserve privacy.

• All important rooms in each house to have windows on at least twosides for natural daylighting.

• Houses to have separate greywater plumbing systems to allow forshower heat recovery and future greywater use as systemsbecome available and code compliant.

• Houses to have a semi-private outdoor room facing the commongreenspace such as a porch or patio.

• Houses shown in the concept renderings are the cottage andsmall house stock plans by Ross Chapin Architects:http://rosschapin.com/ and portray the intent of the communityscale. Exact house plans to be used to be determined during siteplanning phase.

Neighborhood Site Concepts• Houses in cluster are built to face a common greenspace which

can be used as a lawn, play area, garden or natural area.• Central parking lots with 2.0 spaces per dwelling and shielded from

the view from houses as much as possible.• Mailboxes to be placed at entrance to cluster next to parking lot.• Neighborhood to have at least one shared common building to

provide space for community gatherings and special events.• Neighborhood to include a shared workshop, garden shed, pavilion

and possibly a greenhouse.• Houses to be sited as close to the north lot line as possible in

order to create a private garden space between houses.• Houses to be set back enough from the common paths in order

to have a semi-private entry walk where personalization oflandscaping is possible.

• Edible landscaping plants to be incorporated throughoutneighborhood.

• All non-edible landscaping plants to be native or naturalizedspecies where possible.

• Site to be designed to Low Impact Development (LID) standardsin order to reduce the quantity of storm runoff from the propertyas much as is financially feasible; preferring "green" infrastructuretechniques over "gray" BMP's.

• Hardscaping surfaces to be permeable where possible.• Site to have a complete and well connected pedestrian network.• Existing trees to remain when possible and integrated into the

neighborhood design.• Existing green space surrounding the creeks and wetlands to be

preserved and enhanced with walking trails and invasive speciescleanup.

• See the following website for more information on the pocketneighborhood concept: http://www.pocket-neighborhoods.net/

Neighborhood ContextIn the past few years Crozet has boomed with many largesubdivisions being built on its periphery. The median price of homesof $380,000 in this area has skyrocketed out of the range of a largenumber of people, so houses in this neighborhood are designed tobe smaller, more affordable, and more efficient while being arrangedaround generous common areas.

The downtown area is currently being revitalized with the recentlycompleted Crozet Library and Piedmont Place building, along withthe downtown district being planned for the abandoned lumberyardsite. What was once a sleepy town is becoming a vibrant, bustling,livable and walkable center. This project's parcel is located within a10 minute walk of the Crozet town center making it a great locationfor active adults working in downtown Crozet, young families, andempty nesters. The parcel is surrounded by existing neighborhoodsand designated as a Neighborhood Density area targeting 3 to 6units per arce of single family housing.
