Memorandum
To: Steve Garrett (Commonwealth Land Surveying, LLC)
From: Paty Saternye- Senior Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: March 14, 2019
UPDATE: April 17, 2019
Subject: SUB-2019-20 Robinson Subdivision — Subdivision Plat
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the Final 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)(3)] Existing or platted streets. Revise the label for Route 250 on sheet 2 to
also include the name of the road.
[14-302 (A)(10)] Right of further division of proposed lots. Revise the development rights
note for the residue to state that it retains only 1 development right and may not be
further divided. Attached please find a Letter of Determination (LOD2007-9) that contains
the history of division since 1980 and specifies how many development rights were
retained by the other parcels that originally formed TMP57-40. Also attached please find
a previously approved and recorded plat (DB 1591 PG 577) that states that TMP 57-40A
contained only 2 development rights after having another parcel (parcel B) added to it.
[14-302 (A)(4), (6) & 14-303 (E)] Private Easements; Alleys and shared driveways;
Dimension standards and information on all lots, streets, alleys, easements, and shared
driveways; Existing or platted streets. Address the following:
a) If any existing private easement exist on the parcel shown them, specify the owner of
the easement and include the deed book and page number for the easement.
b) A deed for the proposed shared driveway easement is required. This deed must be
reviewed and approved by the County prior to plat approval. Please submit a draft
version of the deed for review with the next submission. It is required that the deed is
recorded with the plat.
c) It is suggested, but not required, that shared driveway maintenance agreement be
recorded with the plat. Since it is not required it will not be reviewed by the County.
d) Revise the plat to include a note that specifies that maintenance shall be by the
owners of the lots affected by the shared driveway easement, not by the Virginia
Department of Transportation or the county.
UPDATE: The surveyor has asked that specific wording of the required
shared driveway note be provided. 14-303(E) states, at the end, "If
shared driveways are shown, a note shall be added to the plat stating
the maintenance shall be by the owners of the lots affected by the
shared driveway easement, not by the Virginia Department of
Transportation or the county." Therefore, the appropriate note, to add
to the cover sheet, would be "The maintenance of the shared driveway
shown in this plat shall be by the owners of the lots affected by the
shared driveway easement, not by the Virginia Department of
Transportation or the county."
4. [14-302 (A)(9)] Building Sites on proposed lots. Revise the plat to include the
required 30,000 square foot building site rectangle for Lot 1. Ensure that all
requirements of 4.2.1 & 4.2.2 are met and that the rectangle is the full 30,000 square
feet specified. What is currently shown on the plat appears to be only 14,400 square
feet in size. Also, please note that no critical slopes or water protection ordinance
areas can be included in the "Building Site", but the proposed drainfields can be
within the area.
[14-302 (A)(11)] Instrument creating property proposed for subdivision. Revise the plat to
include the deed book and page number of the instrument that created the property.
UPDATE: The surveyor has asked that the planning reviewer specify the
deed book and page number that created the property so that the surveyor
may put it on the plat. The last time the property lines were adjusted for
this parcel was in 1997, with the plat recorded in Deed Book 1591 Page 579.
Therefore, that is the plat instrument that created the property in its current
configuration. Therefore, DB 1591 PG 579 should be added to label for
TMP 57-40A on the Sheet 2 of the plat.
[14-302 (A)(5) & 14-303 (L)] Public easements; Public utility, drainage and sight distance
easements. Specify the owner, deed book and page number, and width of all the public
easements crossing or within either of the subject parcels. An electric line appears to be
crossing the property, but the required information for the easement has not been
included in the plat. If the width of the easement is definite, it should also be shown
graphically. Also, show the location and dimensions of any other public utility, drainage
and/or sight distance easement on the plat.
UPDATE: The surveyor has stated that no recorded document, with a deed
book and page number, exists for the electrical easement that goes across
the property and that no other public easement cross the property. If this
is the case than there is no additional information to be added to the plat to
address this comment. However, if a deed book and page number does
exist for any easements that cross the property then they should be added
to the plat.
7. [14-309; 14-310] Soils evaluation; Health Director Approval. The soils and drainfields
submission have been forwarded to the Health Department. VHD approval is required
prior to approval of this subdivision plat.
8. [14-302 (B)(7)] Reservoir watershed, agricultural -forestal district. See Engineering
comments about revision of the watershed note.
9. [14-302 (B)(8)] Yards. Revise the plat to include the setback requirements for the RA
zone. Although the setbacks appear to be shown graphically no labels are provided.
10. [14-302 (B)(9)] Flood Plain. Revise the plat to address the following:
a) Revise the flood plain note to be correct as follows:
i. The flood plain note is for the existing parcel, and not just the proposed parcel.
There are both X and AE areas on the parcel.
ii. Provide the date of the FEMA panel referenced.
b) Revise the linework for the flood plain so that it matches that shown on the County's
GIS system. Although the shape of the line appears to be correct, it appears to be
shifted horizontally and vertically, not showing the 100-year flood plain in the area of
the parcel in which it exists.
UPDATE: The surveyor has stated that the floodplain location on the
plat was located by survey and is therefore more accurate than the
County's GIS mapping. In consultation with engineering they have
stated if the applicant wishes to show the floodplain differently then
what is shown on the GIS they must apply for, and be granted, an
"elevation certificate". If the applicant wishes to do so contact the
engineering reviewer for more details on this process.
11. [14-302 (B)(10)] Stream Buffers. See comments from engineering on the stream
buffers. Provide the exact wording of the stream buffer note, specified in the
checklist, as a note on the coversheet of the plat.
12. [14-303 (E)] Dimension standards and information on all lots, streets, alleys, easements,
and shared driveways. Revise the label for the new access easement to instead be
"New 20' Shared Driveway Easement"
13. [14-303 (F)] Identification of sections, blocks and lots. Revise the label for the
residue of TMP 57-40A to include "residue".
14. [14-303 (H) & 14-4211 Monuments. Address the following:
a) Revise the Iron Found and Iron Set to be correct on the plat. There is a pin in the
middle of the proposed boundary line that is labeled as "found". It appears this
should be a "set" pin.
b) Provide Iron Found labels on all existing lot corners that have iron pins already
placed.
c) Include in the legend on sheet two what "MON." stands for.
15. [14-303 (1)] Bearing and distance ties. Revise the plat to include the required ties (at
least two) to the location of the shared driveway easement.
16. [14-308.1] Groundwater assessment information. The groundwater assessment has
been attached.
17. [14-316] Approval of entrance onto public street. VDOT approval of the entrance is
required prior to subdivision plat approval. The plat has been distributed to VDOT, but
their comment or approval is still pending.
UPDATE: Comment has been addressed. VDOT letter. received on 3/20/19
and forwarded to the applicants contact on that same date, stated that they
found it "generally acceptable". However, ensure that VDOT Land Use
Permit steps specified in the letter are followed.
18. [Comment] Either include in the plat, or on a separate exhibit, the critical slopes as they
are shown on the County's GIS. If it is provided on a separate exhibit that exhibit must
also show the Water Protection Ordinance (WPO) and flood plain overlays and the
proposed "Building Site". This information is required to ensure that there is sufficient
area on the parcel that does not contain the restricted areas and will meet the building
site requirement for size and shape.
19. [Comment] The planning reviewer has discussed engineering's comment #11 and it has
been decided that the scale of the plat is sufficient and does not need to be revised.
20. [14-302 (13)(1)] General Information. When revising the plat include a date of last revision
on the plat. This date should be updated prior to each resubmission.
21. [Comment] See the attached comments from engineering. VDOT and VDH comments
are still pending and will be forwarded to you when they become available. Approval of
all of the reviewers is required before approval of the plat.
UPDATE: See the attached comments from engineering, VDOT and VDH. All
reviewers' comments must be addressed prior to approval of this plat.

Josh,
Thanks much!
Prolly stupid questions..
With regard to Comment #1, are you saying the existing drainfield and/or reserve area needs to be shown with survey
accuracy? It is often times very difficult to determine the exact location of an existing SDS. I would recommend that
you utilize your probe to locate the lines in order to determine the extent of the system. You could mark the drainfield
extents in the field and the surveyor can locate them when he's there locating the Reserve Area. Does this comment
mean there is no existing record on file? Did you already look or should I do a FOIA? I looked several times, but you
have the option of officially submitting a FOIA. Typically, this information is requested on the front end of the submittal,
so we know what is required. The House appears to have been built in 1996, but again, I cannot locate a permit after
several attempts.
Comment #3, is this just an observation of what will have to happen in the future when that portion of the area is used, or
do you want the easement now? Or are you pointing the issue out to Paty and letting the county decide? I am pointing
out the issue and cannot comment as to what the County will require.
Comment #4, about the well, same as #1... survey accuracy or me? (I know, 3' or better...) If the surveyor is there to
locate the Reserve Area, it would make sense for him to locate the well or wells too. Given that the residue has further
division rights, the location of any well will be important moving forward. It should be survey located.
I guess what I wonder is do you want to see that stuff put in there right by Steve Garrett or scribbled in by me? (I get that
if I have to find a Reserve Area for residue it will need survey.)
Thanks, sorry, (I seem to be saying that a lot)
Jeff

Subject: Re: SUB2019-20 Robinson subdivision review
To: Patricia Saternye <psaternye(cDalbemarle.org>
Good afternoon, Paty. It was good speaking to you earlier.
As discussed, I am reviewing the subject subdivision submittal and offer the following comments listed below. The
Health Department is unable to recommend approval at this time.
Comments:
1) The submittal does not indicate the location of the primary or reserve drainfields for the residue lot consisting of 6.26
acres and having an existing dwelling. This information should be shown on the plat. If a Reserve Area doesn't exist
based on a previous VDH permit, then the OSE will need to submit a new soils report to support a 100% Reserve.
2)Minor Comment: As indicated on the plat, the proposed drainfield for Lot 1 will be in close proximity to the access
easement. The applicant is advised that the driveway should not be placed over the proposed drainfield areas.
3)Minor Comment: The lower portion of the drainfield area will require an easement from the power company in order to
be utilized.
4)The existing well or wells for the residue lot should be shown on the plat.
Please forward my comments to the applicant. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Josh,
Are you reviewing SUB2019-20 Robinson subdivision?
I was just wondering what the ETA was on the drainfield comments/approval.
I don't know when you may have gotten it, but it was put in the VDH box on 2/14/19 so it is about at a month so I
wanted to see if you had an ETA.
Thanks,
