(wwhite(&roudabush.com) Trey Steigman — Management Services Corporation (tsteigman&msc-rents.com) From: Tim Padalino, AICP (tpadalinokalbemarle.org) Division: CDD-Planning Date: July 24, 2019 Subject: Review Comments #1 for SUB201900115 (Easement Plat — The Vistas at South Pantops, dated 6/21/2019) CDD-Planning staff has completed a review of the easement plat referred to above, and will recommend approval after the following items have been satisfactorily addressed. (The following review comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional review comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.) This review was completed using the sections listed under Section 14-208.2 of the Subdivision Ordinance. References to Chapter 14 (Subdivision Ordinance / "S.O.") and/or Chapter 18 (Zoning Ordinance / "Z.O.") of the County Code precede each comment, as may be applicable. The County Code is kept up-to-date by the County Attorney's office and may be found at www.albemarle.or count,, cam. Community Development Department — Planning: Contact: Tim Padalino / tpadalino(cr�,albemarle.org Review Status: Requested Changes (7/24/2019) 1. [S.O. Sections 14-302.(A).4 and 14-302.(A).141: Note 17 identifies the exact acreages of the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement areas, after subtracting out the anticipated limits of disturbance. The annotation on Sheet 2 appears to identify different acreages for the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement areas which do not factor out the anticipated limits of disturbance. Please revise the plat to clarify these discrepant acreages as follows: a. The larger/total acreages of each lot (2.990 acres and 3.910 acres) should continue to be identified on Sheet 2, but a note should be added to specify the exact acreages of the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement areas within those lots. For example, the "Open Space — County Park" should continue to be identified as being 2.990 Acres, but a note must be added to specify that the corresponding proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement area would be 2.961 acres. The same information must be provided for the "Open Space — Greenway Reservation" lot and the corresponding proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement area within that lot. b. The note on Sheet 2 regarding the SWM Forest and Open Space Easement ["New SWM Forest and Open Space Easement (horizontal hatch) —area defined by parcel lines—"] appears to be incorrect, as the proposed easement areas would only be established for a portion of the overall areas within the lots, and therefore would not be defined by the parcel lines. This note should be revised or deleted. Page 1 of 3 c. Please revise the horizontal hatching (intended to identify the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement areas) to ensure that there is no graphic depiction of any proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement areas shown in any locations where such an easement would not be established. For example, this horizontal hatching graphic convention is shown over the Rivanna River on Sheet 2 — but Note 17 on Sheet 1 specifies that the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement area corresponding to the "Open Space — Greenway Reservation" area does not include the Rivanna River. Please revise the hatching to depict only the actual easement areas. d. Note 17 on Sheet 1 indicates that this plat proposes to establish 1.572 acres of new SWM Forest and Open Space Easement in areas corresponding to the Rivanna River. However, the VSMP Program Administrator has informed CDD-Planning that the Rivanna River is not eligible for this type of easement. Please revise Note 17 to clarify that the approximately 1.5-acres of the Rivanna River on this property is being subtracted from the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement corresponding to the "Open Space — Greenway Reservation" area. Additionally, please also see review comments from CDD-Engineering regarding the need to ensure accurately calculation of the acreage associated with the Rivanna River, and the acreage of the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement. 2. [S.O. Sections 14-302.(A).11 and 14-303.(C)]: Please revise note 3 to reflect the following information: a. This note should reference an unrecorded "special lot plat," not "subdivision plat." b. Please add a reference to the application number for the unrecorded special lot plat (SUB201800186). Community Development Department — Engineering: Contact: David James / djames2(iDalbemarle.org Review Status: Requested Changes (7/24/2019) 1. Sheet 1 — a. Note #3 - There should be a previous recorded boundary. Please show previously recorded boundary. I'm not aware of another plat for this location under review. b. Note #17 — Update with easement area totals. 2. Sheet 2 — a. Survey top of river bank to define boundary edge of the easements. b. Exclude portion of river hatching. Use top of bank edge to define areas of open space. C. State SWM Forest and Open Space area total. d. Update area amounts for the open spaces. e. The 100-yr floodplain boundary is not shown correctly. Note: Coordinate with the designer. There may be changes in the plans that will change the layout of one or more easements. Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA): Contact: Richard Nelson, P.E. / rnelsongserviceauthority.org Review Status: Requested Changes (7/17/2019) 1. Call out variable width easement rather than 32' easement. 2. Remove last sentence of note 18 on cover sheet. Please also note the following comments from Mr. Nelson, provided via email on 7/17, regarding the overall site planning process for The Vistas at South Pantops project: "Overlook has reached out to ACSA with concerns in regards to having a temporary sewer bypass setup on their property. After review of the deed of easement for this area of sewer, we have determined Vistas and Overlook will need to negotiate a temporary construction easement to allow the pump on Overlook's site. " It is the understanding of CDD-Planning staff that representatives from ACSA, The Vistas / Management Services Corporation, and The Overlook Homeowners Association of Pantops are engaged in ongoing coordination to address the issues relating to the easement and the sewer bypass referred to above. While this issue must be addressed and resolved primarily in coordination with ACSA and The Overlook Homeowners Association of Pantops, CDD staff remain available to assist with questions or discussion items. Please contact Tim Padalino at 434-296-5832, ext. 3088 or tpadalinokalbemarle.org for further information about any of the comments above and/or any other issues relating to SUB201900115. Thank you.
