SUB201900059 — Easement Plat
1. Proposed plat title is: Right -of -Way Dedication and Easement Plat, 0.07 Acre, a portion of T.M. 78-5A and
0.01 Acre, a portion of T.M. 78-513 Hereby Dedicated to Public Use and New Variable Width Private Road
Access Easement on Tax Map 78 Parcels 5A, 513, 5C, 5E and 58G1, New Variable width ACSA Utility
Easement on Tax Map 78 Parcels 5A, 513, 5C, 5E and 58G1, New 20' Shared Private Drainage Easement
on Tax Map 78 Parcels 5A, 513, 5E and 58G1, also, New Variable Width Shared Private Drainage
Easement, New 30' Shared Private Drainage Easement and New 12' SWM Access Easement on Tax Map
Parcel 58G1 Located on U.S. Route 250 (Richmond Road) & State Route 20 (Stony Point Road) at
Pantops. Please revise 545-character plat title to be concise, since title appears in correspondence, review
comments, and recorded document/s; for example: Dedication of public right-of-waprivate road access,
ACSA utility, shared private drainage, public drainage, and stormwater management facility and access
easements for Pantops Corner (or similar), and transfer additional specific information to plat Notes.
2. Please ensure plat title makes reference to SWM facility, as well as SWM access.
3. Please ensure plat title makes reference to public drainage, as well as private drainage.
4. Please revise `New 30' Shared Private Drainage Easement' located downstream of SWM Easement to read
public, rather than private.
5. Revise easement width just upstream of the SWM easement to Min. 44' for 2' DIA pipe installed —20'
below final grade. Ref. ACDSM, pg. 15. Image, below

c. Drainage easements are to be labeled on plans and plats; "Drainage Easement" and
"dedicated to public use".
6. Related to item 5: Ensure at least 17' drainage easement width between CL of installed storm pipe, and
State Rt. 20 Variable width R/W to NW, at point drainage easement Min. width =44'.
7. For irons found that may be impacted by grading, include Note requiring any monument used to establish
easement or centerline is to be replaced if damaged (with offset, if necessary, to avoid placing in
pavement). Surveyor may elect to replace monuments in same location, once construction is complete.
Though state law requires monuments be restored, given that several Pantops Corner Way (private road)
centerline monuments were set in 2018 and must be removed to construct road bed and pavement, and that
several CL monuments serve as parcel boundaries, a plat note is warranted.
8. Provide drainage easement on TMP 78-513, from at least Str. A11B to Al 1, since Pantops Corner Way
runoff is collected on this parcel. Since 78-5B drainage elements are part of the road drainage system, and
since road -related drainage /access easements must be recorded for one or more applications to proceed to
approval (WPO201800088, SUB01900024), recommend show all drainage easements on TMP 78-513, i.e.,
from Str. Al 10 to Al 1.
9. Show owner name and TMP bk.-pg. information for all parcels adjacent to parcels granting easements with
this plat, similar to owner information provided for TMP 78-6.
10. Label shared private easement width (dimension) between easement CL and easement limit to north of CL,
just prior to SWM Easement. Assume width =10' at this point. See item 6., however, which may require
revised width at this point (z17').
11. Revise plat notes 3 and 7 to delete reference to recorded retaining wall construction /maintenance easement
and access easement agreements since:
a. Recorded document does not meet ordinance definition of an Easement.
b. Please ref. 14-106, Definitions:
Easement. The term "easement" means a reservation or grant by a property owner of the use of
land for a specific purpose or purposes, other than a license revocable by the unilateral act of the grantor.
Easement plat. The term "easement plat" means the schematic representation of an easement
required by, and subject to review and approval by the county under this chapter, which includes a
statement of the specific purpose for which the easement is established.
c. Graphic recorded at bk.-g. 4553-484-485 is not a plat.
d. Graphic image was neither reviewed nor approved by Albemarle County as a plat.
e. Recorded graphic does not reflect most recent approved initial site plan, or proposed retaining wall
design.
12. Related to item 11, submit retaining wall easement plat for construction /maintenance. Use standard
Easement plat application. Applicant is encouraged to discontinue the practice of recording as `Easements'
documents that are not. Easements include plats as schematic representation of an easement. Albemarle is
uncertain what informs decision to record and rely upon a document that incorporates the term `Easement,'

a defined term with specific legal meaning, while providing graphic representation that is not a plat, is not
sealed, is not signed, is not reviewed or approved as a plat, is illegible, and is obsolete relative to revised
final site plan retaining wall location /design. If Applicant disagrees and considers document recorded at
bk.-pg. 4553-473 to be an easement, please alert us. We will coordinate with County Attorney's Office.
To reiterate, furnish retaining wall easement plats for proposed retaining walls between TMP 78-5E and
78-5C; TMP 78-5A and 78-6; and TMP 78-58G1 and 78-6. Note: SDP201400031 (basis of image attached
to recorded document at bk.-pg. 4553-473) is a design far removed from later approved initial site plan for
this site. Note major differences, below. SDP201400031 is obsolete. Provide retaining wall easement plat
based on SDP201800039, Approved 9/25/18.

14. Calculate and list acreage of each proposed easement. If there are multiple easements of a single type, as
for drainage, for example, list on plat the area of each distinct easement area. Recommend include: private
road access, shared private drainage, public drainage, SWM facility, SWM access, ACSA utility, and
temporary construction. Recommend include easement data table.
15. Recommend include parenthetical text that reads `(Tie)' beneath C4, L=88.90' to distinguish line segment.

16. Recommend show arc A3-A2 endpoint, similar to other endpoints.
17. Recommend provide separate signature lines for Pantops, LC, and Pantops Corner, LC.
