High Street, Charlottesville, VA 22902 Plat Preparer: Brian S. Ray, LS, Roger W. Ray & Assoc., Inc. / 663 Berkmar Court, Charlottesville, VA 22901 infoAraysurveying com Owner or rep.: Stony Point Design/Build LLC Chris Henry [chenry@stonypointdb.com] Date Received: 3 May 2019 Date of comments: 30 May 2019 Reviewer: John Anderson Keane / Brian, we have reviewed the final plat and have the following comments: Engineering 1. Please revise plat title to `Subdivision Plat and Forest and Open Space, ACSA Utility, Private and Public Drainage, and SWM Facility and Access Easements, Lots 1 thru 26 Crozet Court'. 2. Revise any reference to 50' stream buffer or 50' stream buffers. Replace with 50' stream offset or 50' stream offsets. Plat should not recognize a buffer classification not recognized by ordinance. Engineering recognizes value in 50' stream offset linework, since certain development may occur in the landward 50' of 100' or 200' stream buffers, which are the only buffer dimensions referenced in County Code 17-600. 3. Revise Note H to include a new sentence that reads: `Reference Code of Virginia § 18.2-126.' 4. After discussion with Planning, Final Plat must provide Access easement to cemetery as required by state law (§ 57-27.1; text below). State law requires reasonable access. With this development, please provide: a. Cemetery Access Easement, Min. 10' width. b. Label this easement. c. Provide relevant notes, sheet 1. d. Note: Engineering recommends (with Road Plan) an on -street parking space available though not dedicated to public /descendants /research visits to cemetery. If parking is provided to only meet subdivision requirements, with not one space available for cemetery visitors during reasonable hours, there is possibility if not likelihood that a cemetery visitor might: i. Take a space otherwise relied upon by subdivision residents or their guests, or ii. Be unable to park then access the cemetery via cemetery access easement. (There is no on -street parking on Park Road.) iii. Either situation is avoidable if at least one non -reserved on -street parking space near the cemetery access easement is provided with road /subdivision design. e. A walkable path between sidewalk on cemetery side of Jamestown Road or Agatha Lane centered on cemetery access easement, and nearest cemetery boundary, a path to be constructed with the subdivision, and maintained by the HOA. Provide with Road Plan. f. Access path (4.c.) must meet, at a minimum, Class B-type 2 trail standard. Ref. ACDSM Sec. TH. g. Provide a sign using language of §57-27. L A sign identifying cemetery access is needed. News of infringement of rights across the U.S., experience of Aug-2017, and potential for misunderstanding Engineering Review Comments Page 2 of 3 supports request for a sign that makes clear that non-residents may enter Crozet Court subdivision to visit the cemetery shown on this plat. Provide with Road Plan. 5. Revise drainage easement on Lots 6-9 (D1, D2, D3) to match approved WP0201700075. Public drainage easement across Lots 6 - 8 appears unnecessary. 6. Provide 12' wide SWM access easement across Lot 9, per approved WP0201700075. 7. Provide public drainage easement across Lots 12, 13 to match approved WP0201700075. 8. Modify Lot 9 drainage easement to match approved WP0201700075. 9. Review proposed Forest /Open Space Easement proposed with plat v. area proposed with WP0201700075 Amendment. Acreage appears to differ slightly (2.30 v. 2.37 Ac.). 10. Provide ACSA (FH) Easement, Lot 16. 11. Provide ACSA (FH) Easement, Lot 24. Ref. SUB201700187. 12. Provide inset detail for cul-de-sac, Agatha Lane, C22 thru C38. 13. Provide inset detail, C52, C53, W 18, Jamestown Road. 14. Show existing structure on current 56D-2 (TBR). Dwelling shown with 2019 Google Map imagery. 15. Agatha Lane may need to be revised, per County GIS Road Plan review comment. Ref. SUB201700187. 16. ACSA is requested to advise on any requirements to protect Ex. ACSA San. Sewer Line, at discharge point, Storm Str. E1, sheet C4, WP0201700075 Amendment (coincident with endpoint, 214). Requirements may not affect plat, but may require note or revision to WP0201700075 Plan Amendment. 17. Include plat Notes concerning permissible activity in Forest /Open Space Easement. Notes should read: 7. THE FOREST AND OPEN SPACE EASEMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE GUIDANCE SET FORTH BY DEQ IN THE VIRGINIA STORMWA TER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. THE AREAS WILL REMAIN UNDISTURBED IN A NATURAL, VEGETATED STATE, EXCEPT FOR ACTIVITIES AS APPROVED BY THE LOCAL PROGRAM AUTHORITY, SUCH AS FOREST MANAGEMENT, CONTROL OF INVASIVE SPECIES, REPLANTING AND REVEGETATING, PASSIVE RECREATIONS (E.G. TRAILS), AND LIMITED BUSH -HOGGING TO MAINTAIN DESIRED VEGETATIVE COMMUNITY (BUT NO MORE THAN FOUR TIMES A YEAR, EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY EXISTING EASEMENTS AND AGREEMENTS). FURTHER, THE CONSTRUCTION, INSTALLATION, RELOCATION, REPAIR, REPLACEMENT. OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF NEW OR EXISTING PUBLIC UTILITY STRUCTURES AND FACILITIES SHALL BE PERMITTED WITHIN THE FOREST AND OPEN SPACE EASEMENTS AND ACCESS TO SUCH STRUCTURES AND FACILITIES SHALL BE PERMITTED AS DESCRIBED IN EXISTING AND FUTURE UTILITY EASEMENTS AND AGREEMENTS, 8. NO BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES, OR PERMANENT ROADS (PUBLIC OR PRIVATE) ARE PERMITTED IN SWM OPEN SPACE AREAS, EXCEPT FOR STRUCTURES AND FA CILITIES ASSOCIA TED WITH PUBLIC OR PRIVATE UTILITIES (PIPES, VALVES, MANHOLES, ETC) PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THATAFTER CONSTRUCTION, INSTALLATION, REPAIR, REPLACEMENT, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE OR REMOVAL OF SUCH UTILITIES, ANY DISTURBED SOIL SHALL BE RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION OR AN ENGINEERED SOIL MIX SHALL BE PLACED PER THE DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS, AND THE SWM OPEN SPACE AREA OR AREAS SHALL BE RETURNED TO A NATURAL VEGETATED STATE. (Notes above from UVA Birdwood Golf Course Plat, deed bk.-pg. 5080-432, recorded 8/6/18.) TEXT, Code of Virginia Engineering Review Comments Page 3 of 3 § 57-27. L Access to cemeteries located on private property; cause of action for injunctive relief; applicability. A. Owners of private property on which a cemetery or graves are located shall have a duty to allow ingress and egress to the cemetery or graves by (i) family members and descendants of deceased persons buried there; (ii) any cemetery plot owner; and (iii) any person engaging in genealogy research, who has given reasonable notice to the owner of record or to the occupant of the property or both. No landowner shall erect a wall, fence or other structure or device that prevents ingress and egress to the cemetery or grave, unless the wall, fence or other structure or device has a gate or other means by which ingress and egress can be accomplished by persons specified in this subsection. The landowner may designate the frequency of access, hours and duration of the access and the access route if no traditional access route is obviously visible by a view of the property. The landowner, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be immune from liability in any civil suit, claim, action, or cause of action arising out of the access granted pursuant to this section. B. The right of ingress and egress granted to persons specified in subsection A shall be reasonable and limited to the purposes of visiting graves, maintaining the gravesite or cemetery, or conducting genealogy research. The right of ingress and egress shall not be construed to provide a right to operate motor vehicles on the property for the purpose of accessing a cemetery or gravesite unless there is a road or adequate right-of-way that permits access by a motor vehicle and the owner has given written permission to use the road or right-of-way of necessity. C. Any person entering onto private property to access a gravesite or cemetery shall be responsible for conducting himself in a manner that does not damage the private lands, the cemetery or gravesites and shall be liable to the owner of the property for any damage caused as a result of his access. D. Any person denied reasonable access under the provisions of this section may bring an action in the circuit court where the property is located to enjoin the owner of the property from denying the person reasonable ingress and egress to the cemetery or gravesite. In granting such relief, the court may (i) set the frequency of access, hours and duration of the access and (ii) award reasonable attorney fees and costs to the person denied such access. E. The provisions of this section shall not apply to any deed or other written instrument that creates or reserves a cemetery or gravesite on private property. 1993, c. 713; 2004, c. 831; 2008, c. 390; 2011, c. 257.
