SUB2019-18 Rio Vista — 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. [14-207] The applicant paid the correct fee and submitted the correct application; however, it appears the plat was
developed utilizing criteria in section 14-206. This 2 lot division is subject to section 14-207, I offer the following
comments related to the required changes: Rev 1. Comment not addressed.
2. [14-302(A)9, 4.2.2(b)(1), 4.2.1, 14-400] Building Site.' This parcel is highly encumbered by preserved slopes, the
flood hazard overlay district, and stream buffers. To ensure each lot is provided a building site that meets County
Code, on the plat depict, label, and dimension each lot's building site. If the surveyor prefers not to depict the
building site on the plat but would rather provide an exhibit demonstrating the building site requirements are met,
ensure the exhibit provided utilizes all applicable items required on the plat to aid in determining a building site is
provided. Rev 1. Comment not addressed.
Also, revise the building site note to apply to the subdivision being platted. Rev 1. Comment not adequately
addressed. Revise the note to ensure each lot is provided a building site. If the following is true revise the
building site note to read as follows: "Lot I and the residue of TMP 61-191 each contain a building site that
complies with Section 4.ZI of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance."
3. [14-302(B)(8)] Yards. Is there a prescriptive right-of-way easement for Rio Road on this property? The previous
plat submitted by Justin Shimp depicts an existing 25' prescriptive easement traversing the front of the property. If
it exists please depict, label, and dimension the existing 25' prescriptive easement. The front setback shall be
depicted from the edge of this easement. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
' [4.2.1(a)] Composition of building site. A building site shall be composed of a contiguous area of land and may not contain any area of
land that is: (i) in critical or preserved slopes; (ii) within the flood hazard overlay district; (iii) under water during normal hydrological
conditions; (iv) within two hundred (200) horizontal feet of the one hundred year flood plain of any public water supply reservoir; and (v)
within a stream buffer under chapter 17 of the Code, provided that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit or impair the
program authority from exercising its discretion as authorized in chapter 17.
[4.2.2(b)1] Residential development. Each building site in a residential development shall have adequate area for all dwelling unit(s)
together with an area equivalent to the sum of the applicable required yard areas for the applicable zoning district and, if parking is
provided in bays, the parking area.
4. [4.12.5, 4.12.4, 4.12.16] Parking. All parking spaces shall be established on the same lot with the primary use.
Ensure each lot is provided adequate area for the required parking and the dwelling unit. Please demonstrate this
requirement is met on the exhibit discussed above, label and dimension the required parking spaces.
Single family detached (including manufactured homes): Two (2) spaces per unit.
Multi family units, including duplexes, single family attached, and townhouses, but excluding
student suites:
Number of Parking
Bedrooms/Unit Spaces/Unit
Any unit of 500 square feet or less 1.25
One (1) bedroom 1.50
Two (2) or more bedrooms 2.00
In addition, if parking is provided on individual lots, such as for duplexes and single
family attached townhouses, rather than in lots or bays that are shared by all units in the
development, then one (1) guest space per four (4) units shall be provided.
Rev 1. Comment not addressed.
5. [14-302(B)(5)] Zoning Overlay/Topography. On the plat depict and label all preserved and managed slopes.
Rev 1. Comment not addressed.

8. [14-414, 4.11 Public Sewer. All required off -site easements must be approved and recorded prior to plat approval.
Rev 1. Comment not addressed.
Prior to plat approval an offsite ACSA sewer easement on TMP 61-190 is required. Revise the plat to include all
applicable platting information needed to permit this, including but not limited to a signature line and notary
statement for the adjacent owner, property information to include TMP 61-190 to the plat ... etc. Rev 1. Comment
addressed. The final plat now proposes the easement.

least six (6) feet from the edge of the shared driveway easement. Depict, label, and dimension this setback from
the shared driveway easement. Rev 1. Comment not addressed.
11. [14-303(E)] Shared Driveway. Provide a note that states: "The maintenance of the shared driveway shall be by the

dedication of the following described land [insert correct description of the land subdivided] is with free consent
and in accordance with the desire of the undersigned owners, proprietors and trustees, if any. " Rev 1. The note
only provides reference to TMP 61-191, staff believes it should also reference TMP 61-190. Revise.
If the applicant would like to continue utilizing the previous ordinance language: `Any reference to future
potential development is to be deemed as theoretical. All statements affixed to this plat are true and correct to the
best of my knowledge. " Please utilize it as a separate note on the plat. Revise. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
