Memorandum
To: Christopher Kean
From: Christopher Perez, Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: April 30, 2019
Subject: SUB201900039 Briarwood - Phase 8 - Final Subdivision Plat
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the Subdivision 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. [ZMA2004-14, ZMA2005-9] Proffer 11 – Affordable Housing. Eight (8) affordable units are required in
phase 8. Depict and label these units on the final plat. The minor amendment was recently revised to list
Lots 112-119 as affordable units. Please mark these units on the plat as such and provide a note on the
cover sheet of the plat documenting this.
2. [14-303(A), 14-302(A)1, 4, & 5] Easements. Portions of the new private storm drainage easements and
other easements (private access easements) are located on the adjacent lot TMP 32G-B, which is also
owned by Briarwood Associates. Staff believes the offsite portions of these easements are already recorded
in the Clerk’s office, if this is the case on the plat depict, label and provide Deed Book Page Reference
information for these offsite easements. I believe they can be found in: DB 3833 PG 247 (with the plat
being depicted on DB 3833 PG 256). If this is not the case and the plat under review attempts to plat these
offsite portions of the easements, revise plat information to include all required information to include TMP
32G-B and the new offsite easements. Including a signature line and notary for the adjacent owner.
3. [14-303(E)] Throughout the plat label Elm Tree Court as a “private street easement”. If you prefer you may
continue to label Elm Tree Court as “variable width private access easement”, but you must also label it as a
“private street easement”, as this is how each lot is gaining its frontage. Please ensure it is labeled as such on
all sheets.
4. [14-302(B)(1)] General information. Provide the date of the last revision on the plat.
5. [14-311] Infrastructure improvement plans. Prior to final plat approval the private street shall be built or
bonded. Engineering offers the following comment: “The remaining road bond for Elm Tree Court will need
to be posted prior to plat approval.”
6. [County Attorney Review of Legal Documents, 14-317] The proposed property description in the Eleventh
Supplemental Declaration does not seem to match the plat that you provided. Specifically, I’m not seeing a
4/5/2019 date on the plat. Let me know if I’m missing something. Otherwise, I’d suggest the following
property description: “All that land shown on that certain plat of Lincoln Surveying entitled “Subdivision
Plat Showing Lots 17 Through 39, Lots 112 Through 127, Lots 129 Through 134, Revising Lots 109-111,
Phase 8, Briarwood Subdivision, Rio Magisterial District, Albemarle County, Virginia,” dated March 7,
2019, revised March 13, 2019, recorded herewith and made a part hereof.”
Ensure the last revised date referenced in the legal documents matches the last revised date of the plat.
