The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the plat 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. [14-302 (A)(7)] The plat dated March 12, 2018 does not clearly identify existing lot lines within the
subdivision. Please show all existing and departing lot lines with a dashed line and label each with a Tax
Map Parcel.
a. Per LOD201700008, there is a lot of record that is a 30' wide strip of land that appears to run
through the new Lots 1-3. Albemarle Count GIS now identifies this parcel as TMP 12600-00-00-
021D8. Please provide additional information on this parcel location and whether it intersects the
new lots. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
b. Per LOD201700008, there is a 6 acre lot of record that is located within the proposed parcel
boundaries of Lots 1-2. Albemarle County GIS now identifies the 6 acre parcel as TMP 12600-
00-00-021D7. This parcel boundary is shown on the plat, but please provide a label with the TMP
number and instrument (deed book and page) that created the 6 acre parcel. Rev. 1: Comment
addressed.
2. [General Comment] Please add TMP 12600-00-00-021D7 to Note 4. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
a. Per comment 1, please add TMP 12600-00-00-021138 to Note 4 if necessary. Rev. 1: Comment
addressed.
[14-302 (A)(9)] Please revise note 12 as follows: "Parcels 1-3 and the residue of Tax Map/Parcel
[numbers] each contain a building site that complies with section 4.2.1 of the Albemarle County Zoning
Ordinance." Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
4. [14-302 (A)(10)] Per meetings between Greg Baldwin and County staff (Cameron Langille & Francis
MacCall) the note regarding where Lot 3 is obtaining its development right is incorrect. The location of
Lot 3 does not allow it to obtain a development right from TMP 126-21D6. Per LOD201700008, the area
where Lot 3 is proposed has 5 development rights, but those development rights belong to the property
now known as 12600-00-00-021CO3 which is under separate ownership. The plat cannot be approved
unless the lot lines are shifted so that Lot 3 can obtain a development right from a parcel of record, as
identified in LOD201700008, that is owned by Iris Realty Holdings LLC. The kernel must be 2 acres and
have adequate area for a building site. Rev. 1: See Zoning Division comments and Comment #18 for
required changes. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
5. [14-302 (A)(10)] Revise Note 16 to specify how the three (3) development rights located within the 6
acre TMP 12600-00-00-021D7 will be allocated with this rural division. TMP 12600-00-00-021D7 is
shown as being located partially within proposed Lots 1 and 2. Rev. 1: See Comment #18 below and
comments from the Zoning Division for other changes to the development rights notes.
Rev. 2: Per Note 16 of the revised plat dated October 25, 2018, Parcel 3 is acquiring 2.00 acres from the
original TMP 126-21D7. However, the note also states that new Parcel 3 is acquiring. two wo (2) development
rights from that 2.00 acres Only one development right can be assigned to Parcel 3 from the 2.00 acres of
TMP 126-21D7. Therefore, it appears that Parcel 3 will have either two or three development rights — 1
derived from the 2.00 acre portion of 126-21D7 and 1 or 2 development right from the 7.098 acre portion
of TMP 126-21D6. Please revise Note 16 to state "9.098 acres is assigned two (2) development rights
from the 2.00 acres of TMP 126-21D7 and one (1) from the 7.098 acre portion of TMP 126-21D6 and
may be further divided." Rev. 3: Comment addressed.
Revise Note 16 for the residue of TMP 126-21D6. If Parcel 3 is receiving two (2) development rights
from 126-21D6, then the residue of TMP 126-21D6 will retain two (2) development rights. If Parcel 3 is
receiving one (1) development rights from 126-21D6, then the residue of TMP 126-21D6 will retain three
(3) development rights. Rev. 3: Comment addressed.
6. [14-302 (A)(10)] If any portion of TMP 12600-00-00-021D8 is within the proposed subdivision, Note
15 should be revised to specify what is happening to the five (5) development rights located within that
parcel, per LOD201700008. Rev 1.: Comment not applicable.
7. [14-302 (A)(11)] Please add a note to the plat that lists all instruments that created TMPs 12600-00-00-
021D8 (if applicable), 12600-00-00-021D7, 12600-00-00-021D6, 12600-00-00-021D3. Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
8. [14-302 (A)(5) and 14-302 (A)(14)] Please identify the location of the 15' right-of-way proposed to be
dedicated for road widening on the plat, per Note 16. Please state the acreage of this land area. Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
9. [14-302 (B)(5) and 14-302 (B)(9)] Please add a second line to Note 5 stating that a portion of TMP
12600-00-00-02 1 D6 and a portion of new Lot 3 lies within the Flood Hazard Overlay Zoning District.
Please change the "Flood Line & Water Protection Ordinance Buffer" label currently used to identify this
boundary to "Flood Hazard Overlay Zoning District and Water Protection Ordinance Buffer." Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
10. [14-302 (B)(10)] There are Water Protection Ordinance stream buffers that are not shown but are located
along Damon Road and the new lot frontages. Please show the buffers on the plat. Also, please add a
note stating "The stream buffer(s) shown hereon shall be managed in accordance with the Albemarle
County Water Protection Ordinance." Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
11. [14-303 (C)] One of the boundary lines of new Lot 3 is not dimensioned on the plat. This is the side
boundary line that travels north into the lot, just north of line C4. Please provide the dimensional date,
with bearings in degrees and minutes, on the next submittal. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
12. [14-303 (D)] Please provide the acreage of each existing parcel and the acreage of each proposed lot as
a note. Include an acreage calculation stating how much area from each existing parcel will be allocated
to each new lot. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. Please see the attached Zoniniz Comments for
necessary revisions to Note 16. Also, please amend the Area Summary so that it reflects the parcel acreage
changes, as specified below by Comment #18. Rev. 2: Comment addressed. Zoning has approved the
area summary.
13. [14-308.1 and 17-10001 The final plat cannot be approved until the applicant pays the fee for the required
Tier II Groundwater Assessment. Please pay the $355.00 fee for the Tier II Assessment. The County will
initiate the Tier II Groundwater Assessment once fees are paid, and the results will be forwarded to the
applicant once complete. Rev. 2: Comment not addressed. Fee has not yet been paid. Rev. 3: Comment
not vet addressed. Fee has not vet been paid.
14. [14-309,14-310,14-416] The final plat cannot be approved until the Health Director has approved a soils
evaluation report demonstrating that new Lots 1-3 have adequate soils for subsurface drainfields for the
proposed septic systems and private wells. Please submit three copies of a soils evaluation report to the
County so that these can be forwarded to the Virginia Department of health for review and approval. Rev.
1: Comment not addressed. A soils evaluation report has not been submitted yet. Please submit a soil
evaluation report on the next submittal. Rev. 2: Comment not addressed. A soils evaluation report has not

16. [General Comment] Please show the residual parcel boundaries of TMP 126-21D6 on the plat. Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.
17. [14-302 (B)(1)] Please add a revision date to the plat. Rev. 1: Please add another revision date. Rev. 2:
Please add another revision date. Rev. 3: Comment addressed.
18. [General Comment] The revised plat dated September 24, 2018 has revised the proposed parcel
boundaries of the three new lots. Lot 2 now measures 3.870 acres. Rural Divisions must result in new
lots that measure at least 5 acres, so the plat cannot be approved unless Lot 2's boundaries are revised so
that it measures at least 5 acres.
a. It appears that Lot 2 can be enlarged to a minimum of 5 acres if it is revised so that it takes the
2.969 acres and 1 development right from TMP 126-21D7 that is currently being given to Lot 3.
Lot 3 would then have 2 development rights derived from TMP 126-21D6 and it would still
measure a minimum of 5 acres.
Rev. 2: The parcels now meet the minimum acreages required for a rural division. However, Parcel
1 only has 204.29' of frontagepublic road, and a rural division requires each new lot to have
250' of frontage. Can the western side parcel boundary of Parcel 1 be extended further to the west
alon the he right of way boundary to give it an additional 45.71' of frontage along Damon Road? It
aqppears this additional acreage would be taken from TMP 126-21 D3. Please update the area summary
to reflect the additional acreage subtracted from TMP 126-21D3, and incorporate the additional
acreage into the Parcel 1 area summary. Rev. 3: Comment addressed.
