Subject: SUB201800225 North Pointe Middle and Northeast Residential — Preliminary Subdivision Plat
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plat referenced above once the following
comments 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.]
1. [14-203] Fees. The public notification fee for this project has not been paid. Please pay the $215.00 fee prior to any further
review/action of the plat.
2. [30.7, 30.7.4(b)1(g)] Steep Slope Overlay. The original rezoning was approved to disturb critical slopes as proposed on the
application plan. However in 2014 there was a Countywide rezoning of all slopes in the development area to either
preserved or managed slopes. Preserved slopes are not permitted to be disturbed, managed slopes are permitted to be
disturbed per the County's design standards. Section 30.7.4(b) I (g) allows uses/structures shown on an approved application
plan to be located on preserved slopes.
Prior to preliminary subdivision plat approval provide an exhibit depicting the envelop of development from the approved
application plan superimposed on the envelop of development for the current proposal. Also on this exhibit superimpose the
County's steep slopes overlay district (distinguish between managed and preserved slopes) and the critical slopes depicted
on the approved application plan. Ensure each of the five items discussed above are clearly distinguishable from each other
through the use of line widths, hatching, and colors to aid staff in determining if this current proposal is in conformity with
the County regulations mentioned above. Please provide a legend.
Any areas proposed to be disturbed for the current proposal that are outside of the envelop of development from the
approved application plan which disturb preserved slopes previously classified as critical slopes shall not be permitted. If
such instances exist the plat shall be revised prior to preliminary subdivision plat approval to be in conformity with the
approved application plan, or the plat shall be denied and a rezoning will be required to facilitate the new proposal.
In short: in order to verify compliance with [30.7, 30.7.4(b)1(g)] Steep Slope Overlay provide one exhibit depicting the
following:
- The envelop of development from the approved application plan superimposed on the envelop of
development for the current proposal.
- The County's steep slopes overlay district (distinguishing managed and preserved slopes)
- The critical slopes depicted on the approved application plan.
3. [ZMA2013-14,14-4091 Coordination and Extension of Streets. On the final plat the applicant shall dedicate to public use
the Lewis and Clark Road connection to the northern property line of TMP 32-22K. A road plan is required for this segment
of roadway, this can either be accomplished on a new road plan or on SUB2016-92. Prior to final subdivision plat approval
the connection shall be built or bonded.
At SRC the applicant requested to phase the preliminary plat into two phases and bond the above mentioned road
improvement with the second phase. This is permissible to Planning staff and shall be depicted on the final plat. Depending
on where the phase line is, this modification may effect Fire and Rescue's review/approval. Prior to preliminary121at
ayyroval please submit either an exhibit or revised preliminary plat which shows the phase line.
4. [Proffer 10.1] On the northern side of Cross Creek Drive provide an emergency connection to TMP 32-22E. The plat shall
label it "50' Right-of-way Reserved for Future Dedication Upon Demand of the County". Also, ensure that all applicable
temporary construction easements are provided to construct the connection. Be aware that the proffer also states that prior
to the issuance of a building permit for building 32 as shown on the application plan that the R/W shall be dedicated to
public use, which means a road plan for that section shall be approved and bonded prior to dedication and acceptance
and/or the conditions listed shall be addressed in a deed.
5. [Comment] Prior to final plat approval a road plan shall be approved and bonded for the subsequent sections of this
preliminary plat being platted. Currently SUB2016-92 only covers the eastern portion of the proposed residential
development being platted (phase 1), the western residential portion (phase 2) is lacking a road plan at this time.
6. [SP2002-72] Condition #9. The owner shall design and construct as emergency access ways extensions to Pritchett lane
within 50' wide right-of-ways as depicted on the application plan.
The final plat shall dedicate to public use the two 50' emergency connections and required temporary offsite grading
easements on each side of the right of way in order to provide to required connections to Pritchett Lane (as depicted on the
application plan, respectively between lots H-9 and H-10, and Lots L-16 and L-17). The preliminary subdivision plat lists
these lots as Lots 105 — Lot 106, and Lot 51 — Lot 52. The road plan shall be revised to include the design and grading of
these emergency accessways and all required temporary grading easements on adjacent lots. The roads shall be designed and
graded to accommodate a VDOT public street and constructed using pervious parking pavers.
Also, revise the dedication between Lot 105 and Lot 106 to continue to the adjacent property line, through the 30' buffer
areas.
7. [SP2002-72] Condition #8. An approved landscape plan is required prior to the issuance of the Pt CO for any of the
dwelling units on any of the lots abutting Pritchett Lane (depicted on the preliminary plat as Lots 50-72, and Lots 105-122).
On the final plat provide a note stating the above requirement. It is recommended that prior to final plat approval a
landscape plan is submitted and approved for these lots to satisfy condition #8.
8. [SP2002-72] Condition #10. An overlot grading plan must be approved by the County Engineer prior to the issuance of a
building permit for a new residence on any lot less than 15,000 SF in size. On the final plat provide a note stating the above
requirement. It is recommended that prior to final plat approval an overlot grading plan be approved for these lots to satisfy
condition #10.
9. [8.2] Affordable Housing. Each final subdivision plat shall include a running total of the number and percentage of
affordable units previously provided and proposed to be divided on the plat.
10. [8.2(d)] Affordable Housing/Carriage House Units. Carriage units shall meet the requirements for a single family dwelling
as defined in the VUSBC, and shall be on the same parcel as the primary dwelling unit to which it is accessory, and shall not
be subdivided from the primary residence. Provide a note to this effect on the final subdivision plat. Additionally these
restrictions shall also be incorporated into each deed conveying title of such parcels. Please consider this, as it seems these
carriage house units are proposed on some of the smallest lots in the development, how are you going to meet setback
requirements and building code requirements for two dwellings on these lots.
11. [32.2, 4.161 Site Plan. Throughout the preliminary plat there are numerous required recreational amenities depicted, such as
swimming pool & clubhouse w/ associated parking. These improvements require an initial site plan and a final site plan
prior to applying for a building permit of these uses. If these uses require over 10,000 SF of land disturbance a WPO
application will also be required for the use. On the final subdivision plat please ensure these improvements are not
depicted, but merely labeled as "Open space _ hereby dedicated to the HOA for recreational amenities" or some other
comparable identifier. Prior to final plat approval a covenants and restriction document shall be approved by the County
Attorney's office which includes maintenance of these open space areas. The recreational areas in each phase shall be built
once 50% of the units in the phase receive their certificate of occupancy, CO's past the 50% will be held till those
improvements are installed.
12. [14-302(A)(8)] Proposed lots.
a. There appears to be an issue with the lot numbering. Sheets C-1 through C-9 identify lots 1-174, using two
instances of Lots 76-99 (i.e. 24 duplicated lot numbers). At the same time, Sheets C-10 and C-11, utilize a
different lot numbering layout, without duplicating lot numbers. In both layouts, 198 lots are provided. This
total does not align with the housing summaries provided on Sheets C-1 and C-10. Please review and align this
information to:
i. Ensure only one instance of each lot number
ii. Ensure all Sheets reflect the same overall lot numbering layout
iii. Revise the housing number summaries accordingly
b. Also, ensure the symbolization for proposed building sites is the same throughout.
c. Identify the proposed locations of the seven (7) carriage houses on each sheet of the final plat. Currently only
sheet C-10 depicts these homes others sheets do not.
d. Provide the approximate dimensions and area of each proposed lot.
13. [14-302(A)(14)] Land to be dedicated or reserved.
a. Label the future elementary school site and acreage, similar to the label used for Future Apartments on Sheet
10, on all sheets where that site is shown and site the associated proffer number.
b. Label the future Park F.
c. Provide a width for Park G, ensuring that it is at least 20ft, in order to avoid non -conforming "double frontage"
lots.
d. On Sheet 11, please review the area demarcated "Land to be dedicated to the County" behind Lots 181-182 to
ensure it aligns with the approved 2006 Zoning Application Plan (see Sheet G).
14. [14-302(B)(8),14-401] Yards.
a. Ensure all required lot setbacks are shown on plat.
b. To avoid non -conforming "double frontage" lots with future buildout, Lots 171, 172, and 174 on Sheet C-6
(also labeled as Lots 195, 196, and 198) shall be provided a 20ft wide strip of dedicated open space area to be
maintained by the HOA, located between the rear of the lots and the right-of-way for Lewis & Clark.
15. [Comment] Pedestrian Network. Depict the required pedestrian pathways around the future elementary school site, and
between Lewis & Clark and the middle entrance (see approved application plan). Also, throughout the plat depict the
required sidewalk and landscaping strips. Currently various pages throughout the plat switch between symbology showing
these improvements. I surmise that a layer was turned off on some of the sheets. Revise.
16. [14-302(B)(10)] Stream Buffers. Depict the location of stream buffers, as required by the water protection ordinance, and
note the following: "The stream buffer(s) shown hereon shall be managed in accordance with the Albemarle County Water
Protection Ordinance. "
17. [14-421] Monuments. All exterior and interior boundaries are required to be monumented. Please provide this information
on the plat, or a note that the required monuments will be set by X date or time, per Sec. 14-421.
18. [Comment] Final subdivision plat materials. If the next submission will be a final subdivision plat, provide all necessary
content as noted in Section 14-303, in addition to the revisions described above. Also be aware, when submitting the final
plat, a written request or application to disturb steep slope areas will also be required, per Section 14-304.
19. [14-302(A)(16)] Dam break inundation zones. Depict and label Dam Break Inundation Zone limits.
20. [14-302(B)(1)] General information. Indicate the total number of sheets, either as part of title block or on the cover sheet.
21. [14-302(B)(5)] Zoning. Include in the zoning notes that this property contains the following overlays: Airport Impact Area,
Entrance Corridor, Flood Hazard Overlay (100 Year Floodplain), Steep Slopes (Managed and Preserved), and Water
Protection Ordinance (WPO) Buffers. Additionally, note that this property is subject to ZMA2013-14, ZMA2013-7,
ZMA2000-9, SP2015-03, and SP2002-72.
22. [Comment] Locator Map. In the next submission, please include a locator map, as an inset map, to indicate which areas of
the development are shown by each sheet.
23. [14-302(B)(7)] Watershed. To clarify that this property is not located in a reservoir watershed, revise the note to read:
"Watershed: North Fork Rivanna (not a water supply watershed of Albemarle County and/or the City of Charlottesville ".
24. [14-301(B)(C)] Scale. Consider using a larger scale, such as one (1) inch equals sixty (60) feet, in the next submission to
reduce the number of Sheets.
25. [14-301(D)] Approximate north. Please reorient the plat such the top of each sheet is oriented less than 90 degrees from true
or magnetic north. The current orientation appears to be around 140 degrees.
26. [14-302(A)(2)] Vicinity map. Include prominent waterways and bodies on the vicinity map as they integral features of this
development. Also, differentiate on this map the section of development covered by this subdivision plat in relation to the
larger North Pointe development.
27. [14-302(A)(3)] Existing streets. Provide the location, width and names of all existing streets abutting the property, including
Pritchett Lane, particularly as it provides access to proposed Lot 99.
28. [14-302(A)(3)] Street names. Street names will need to be approved by the E911 reviewer. Please see attached review notes.
29. [14-409] Street Coordination. Ensure roadway alignment is consistent with the adjacent townhome development, abutting
Route 29. See signed affidavit.
30. [14-302(A)(4-5)] Easements. Please label all easements as "existing" or "proposed". If "existing" include the deed book,
page number, and the owner of record. If proposed easements are to be public, please denote using "dedicated to public
use".
31. [14-302(A)(7)] Existing and departing lot line. It is not clear, on any one map, how the existing and departing lot lines relate
to one another. While sheets attempt to include both, the line type for "parcels to be abandoned" - dash dot dash - is also
being used for other elements (see leader line on Sheet C-3), also topographic and grading lines make these lines hard to
decipher.
Sheet 10 and its inset map may be a suitable place to provide this information. (Note: Looking at the location of Seminole
Trail on both maps, it appears they may be oriented differently, even though their north arrows indicate a similar orientation.
Please review and revise to ensure alignment.)

Specific Comments
1. Road names must match between individual sheets and overview/overall maps.
2. Roads may not change names arbitrarily through the travelway. Please refer to the
diagram below which indicates which road segments should be given unique names. For
example, Roads B, J, and H are labeled using more than one name.
3. Road names may only be duplicated when used for cul-de-sacs which have the same name
as the road from which they originate (example: "Amberfield Court" which originates from
"Amberfield Drive"). 3 In this application, Roads A, E, F, and G (see diagram below) are
the only roads eligible for this exception (colored red in the diagram).
4. Road L in the attached diagram must be given a road name.
5. Note that a maximum of two (2) roads may begin with "CLIFF" to comply with Part I,
Section 4-I of the County's Road Naming and Property Numbering Manual.
6. The proposed "RETREAT CIR" does not meet the criteria to use the "Circle" designator ('A
road which returns to itself. �. We suggest using "Loop" instead ('A drive which begins and
ends on the same road.').
