Subject: SDP2018-068; SUB2018-159 Pleasant Green Phase 1- Initial Site Plan and
Preliminary Subdivision Plat
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department Community
Development will recommend approve the plan referred to above when the following items
have been satisfactorily addressed. (The following comments are those that have been
identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based
on further review.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle
County Code.]
Site Plan Requirements:
1. See attached direction from the Post Master regarding group mailboxes. Please
coordinate location with the Post Master.
2. [32.5.2] The required scale is 1"=20' and the plans submitted are 1"=40'. This makes it
difficult to measure and confirm that requirements are being met. Revise to meet the
required scale.
3. [32.5.2 (a)] Parcel 56A1-1-36B shows improvements and should be added to the list of
properties for development.
4. [32.5.2 (a)] Provide the names of the owner for the trail being shown that connects to
an adjacent parcel. This property owner will need to be a part of the application for both
the site plan and the subdivision plat.
5. [4.12.4] An exception is required for the parking. No more than 20% over the required
number of spaces is permitted.
6. [32.5.2 (b)] Remove references to Phase 2 for density and number of units. This
application is for Phase 1 only, and approval will not be given for the number of units
noted on Sheet 1 for Phase 2. In addition, a special use permit cannot be submitted for
additional density. This will need to be accomplished either by a rezoning or a
comprehensive plan amendment.
7. [32.5.2 (b)] Remove the "Potential Roadway Extension and Connection to Orchard
Drive" note and dashed line. This requires a special use permit and will not be approved
with this application.

8. [32.5.2 (b)] Setbacks listed are for infill- however this is a non-infill development. Revise
to list and show the correct setbacks.
9. [32.5.2 (b)] Show the tot lot area within the proposed open space.
10. [32.5.2 (f)] Sheet 2 labels the WPO buffer, however the floodplain is not labeled. Show
the floodplain.
11. If a second point of access will be required by Fire/Rescue to Cling Lane, this access will
need to have bollards and will not trigger the special use permit (see attached comment
from Zoning).
12. [32.5.2 (n)] The following need to be dimension and/or materials need to be shown:
1. Sidewalks
2. Driveways
3. Trail
Subdivision Requirements:
1. [14-302 (A) (3)] Sheet two shows a number of existing rights of way with no ownership
information. Will these be vacated? What kind of roads are they? Provide the correct
deed book with ownership and all information regarding these roads in order to
determine the process for vacating them. The deed book and page number listed does
not give information regarding the roads nor does it have a plat associated with it. In
addition, some of these right of way cross property that is not a part of the subdivision,
and therefore if these are being vacated, or a portion of them are being vacated,
additional permission from adjacent owners may be required, and those owner's will
need to be signatories on the plat. All information needs to be shown and then
indicated those rights of way being vacated on the plat.
See State Code section 15.2-2272.
§ 15.2-2272. Vacation of plat after sale of lot.
In cases where any lot has been sold, the plat or part thereof may be vacated according to either of the following
methods:
1. By instrument in writing agreeing to the vacation signed by all the owners of lots shown on the plat and also
signed on behalf of the governing body of the locality in which the land shown on the plat or part thereof to be
vacated lies for the purpose of showing the approval of the vacation by the governing body. In cases involving
drainage easements or street rights -of -way where the vacation does not impede or alter drainage or access for
any lot owners other than those lot owners immediately adjoining or contiguous to the vacated area, the
governing body shall only be required to obtain the signatures of the lot owners immediately adjoining or
contiguous to the vacated area. The word "owners" shall not include lien creditors except those whose debts are
secured by a recorded deed of trust or mortgage and shall not include any consort of an owner. The instrument
of vacation shall be acknowledged in the manner of a deed and filed for record in the clerk's office of any court
in which the plat is recorded.
2. [14-302(A)(3)] Will all of the parcels be combined/vacated via a boundary line
adjustment for this subdivision? There are a number of parcels, and it's unclear if they
will be combined into one parcel or how this will be handled. More information needs
to be shown via a plat.
3. [14-302 (A)(4)] Will the alley need to be a road for frontage purposes for Phase 2 of this
development? If so, this alley should be a public private road and will need to meet all
the requirements including sidewalks, street trees, etc. If it will be a private road, a
justification will be required under 14-233. In addition, the lots will be double frontage
lots and need to include screening as required.
4. [14-302 (A)(5)] Will there be easements for the proposed utilities? Show any and all
easements for all utilities.
5. [14-302(A)(11)] List the deed book and page number for all parcels. The parcels being
developed do not include deed book and page numbers.
6. [14-302 (13)(1)] The title block on all sheet states the plan as a site plan, revise to include
two different submittals and titles, one for subdivision and one for site plan.
7. [14-302 (13)(4)] The cemetery needs to be surveyed and shown on the plat, the location
is not shown on the plan sheets, only a notation on Sheet 1.
8. [14-302 (13)(6)] As stated above under site plan comments, TMP56A1-1-36B should be
added to the plat/plans and all ownership information needs to be listed since there are
improvements being shown on that property.
9. [14-302 (13)(8)] As stated above under site plan comments, this development is an non-
infill development and setbacks needs to be shown accurately.
10. [14-302(B)(9)] As stated above under site plan comments, show the floodplain on the
plat.
