Memorandum
To: Gwen Lacy
From: Tori Kanellopoulos- Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: October 1, 2018
Subject: SUB-201800161 Property of Richard and Katherine Douglas- Boundary Line
Adjustment
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the
Boundary Line Adjustment 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.]
Planning
1. [14-302(A)(6)] Shared driveways. Label the shared driveway for the four units
on TMP 47-11 off of Rivanna Farm (if this is in fact a shared driveway).
2. [14-302(A)(16)] Dam break inundation zones. According to the County's GIS,
TMP 47-11 and TMP 47-11 G2 are only affected by a Federal Dam Break
Inundation Zone, not a State Dam Break Inundation Zone. Please revise the labels
on the plat (both the key and the notes) to reflect that it is Federal only.
Virginia Outdoors Foundation
This plat was sent to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation (VOF) for their review, as parcels
TMP 47-11 and TMP 47-11G2 are under a conservation easement held by the VOF. The
VOF found the BLA to be acceptable under their requirements. See note below for their
feedback.
1. Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the submitted boundary
line adjustment (BLA) plat SUB201800161 for T.M. 47-11 and T.M. 74-11G2.
These tax map parcels are both part of Rivanna Farm, which has been held in
open -space easement by VOF since 1996 (Albemarle County Deed Book 1584
Page 553). The following specific language from the deed of easement (DOE)
applies: Paragrgph 3, Page 3: 3. "The Property may be divided into no more than
three (3) divisions to make four (4) parcels, with each such parcel to contain
twenty-one (21) or more acres. Except for such reserved right, subdivision of the
Property in any manner is prohibited." Rivanna Farm is currently divided into
three properties: T.M. 47-11, T.M. 47-11G2, and T.M. 47-11G3. The proposed
BLA revises T.M. 47-11 and T.M. 47-11G2 to have 42.64 acres and 298.83 acres
respectively. As both parcels will contain more than 21 acres, the internal BLA as
proposed is acceptable under the terms of the DOE.
