The Planner will approve the final plat when the following items (from the Planner and from other SRC plan reviewers) have been satisfactorily addressed and when all SRC plan reviewers have indicated in writing their tentative approvals. [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.] 1. [14-302(A)(5)] In reviewing a previous subdivision plat (DB 5087 PG 716) associated with this development there was a public drainage easement, that runs from the terminating cul-de-sac on McKinley Lane through Lots 12-14, that is noted on this plan as being 36in in width, while the previous plan identified the width as 32in. Please review and revise as necessary. 2. [14-302(B)(5)] On Sheet 1, please amend Note A to: Remove "Flood Hazard Overly". The property is not in the Flood Hazard Overlay. Remove "Scenic Byways". This is not a regulated zoning overlay district. Revise "Steep Slopes Managed and Preserved" to "Preserved Steep Slopes" as no managed steep slope areas are not found within the development area being reviewed. [14-302(B)(7)] On Sheet 1, please correct Note C. This property actually falls within the Licking Creek and Stockton Creek Water Supply Watersheds. 4. [14-303(S)] Please provide at least four control points, evenly distributed across the property and located at survey property corners. 5. [14-304, 14-302(A)(9)] Show how the house, driveway, and parking will fit within the building site for Lots 20 and 21 without impacting the preserved slopes. It does not appear that a house with a driveway and parking will be able to fit within the building site shown. 6. [14-401] Double frontage lots for single family detached uses, as shown on Lots 14 and 15, are prohibited. According to Sec. 14-106, a double lotfrontage is defined as: "...an interior lot having frontage on two streets or frontage on one street and less than twenty (20) feet of common area between the rear of the lot and the second street, and having a depth of less than three hundred fifty (350) feet. " We acknowledge that this violation was not caught during the preliminary subdivision plat review and approval, however, this final plat will ultimately need to conform to County Code before final approval can be granted. As such, the applicant has the option to pursue an easement to extend the current 12.67ft easement along U.S. Route 250, an additional 7.33ft in order to reach the 20ft requirement, OR, per Sec. 14-401, the applicant can elect to pursue an exception for the double frontage lots, as provided in Sec 14-203.1. A justification for why the exception should be granted will need to be submitted with the next plat (also see Subdivision Variation or Exception application attached). The fee for special exceptions is currently $892. If an exception is granted, the applicant will be required to provide landscaped screening along U.S. Route 250, in accordance with Sec. 14- 419. To be clear, these options will only need to be pursued to bring Lots 14 and 15 in compliance with Albemarle County Code. The existing Lot 1, lying adjacent to Lot 14 and also along U.S. Route 250, demonstrates compliance with County Code, and therefore, does not need to be altered. [Advisory Comment] The preliminary subdivision plat for this development shows a 20ft emergency access between Lots 15 and 16, however no emergency access was identified, in note or label, in this final plat. Please coordinate with Shawn Maddox to see if the emergency access is still needed. If it is, bollards may be recommended by the agent.
