The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the road plans referenced above
once the following comments have been addressed: [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which
is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
1. [General Comment] All Planning comments are for the Creekside V road plan application only.
2. The road plans should only show the improvements that will be approved, bonded, and constructed within
the street right-of-way. Rev. 1: The proposed sidewalks outside of the public right of way will need to be
bonded with the road plans. Easements and deeds of dedication and easement for the private sidewalk
easements will be reviewed and approved with the final plat. Please see Comment #10 for additional
information regarding HOA acceptance of the private sidewalk easements.
Rev. 2: Per comment #10 of last review, no confirmation has been provided to the County
demonstrating that the Old Trail Community Association agrees to accepting the easement over the
sidewalks. The road plans cannot be approved until written confirmation from the HOA has been
provided that these easements will be accepted.
Rev. 3: Comment still not addressed. Please see previous comments regarding documentation that
the Old Trail Community Association agrees to accepting the easement over the sidewalks. The
road plans cannot be approved until written confirmation from the HOA has been provided that
