existing vegetation steep slopes, perennial and intermittent. streams, stream buffers, public spaces
and public plazas shown as such on an approved site plan or subdivision plat, to satisfy a condition
of a. certificate of appropriateness, and in circumstances where there are multiple buildings on the

one main building shall meet the maximum setback." Based on the parcel shape, location and site
design, the maximum front setback for this site is 61' as shown for Building 5. Please revise the
Cover Sheet: where it lists maximum front setback to state "Front Maxiipum: 61' from eastern
property boundary in accordance with the provisions specified in Section 4.19, footnote 11:3 of the
Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance."'
Response: The applicant appreciates the review and recommendation ol'the maximum building
sethack based on site constraints. Building 5 currently sits a distance of 71'from the front property

44. [General Comment] The location of the on -site cemetery has been revised and shown on these plans.
The Code of Virginia, specifically § 57-27.1, states that "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 or descendants..." Prior to final site plan approval, a private access easement
must be provided into the development in order to allow access to the cemetery in accordance with
the Code of Virginia. This can be done as part of the easement plat application referenced in previous
comments. A deed of easement for access to the cemetery will need to be provided for review by
the County Attorney. The deed will need to specifically mention the parties that are granted access
to the cemetery in accordance with the Code of Virginia. Use the following link to access the Code
of Virginia: LINK.
Response: An access easement to the cemetery will be shown on a subsequent submission pending
coordination with property owners.

indicates parcel boundary to be abandoned by separate instrument, but this poses
several issues: (Rev. l) Not addressed. Applicant response: `A proposed boundary

site plan approval.'
Response: The 35' RIW easement has been vacated by the Boundary Line
Adjustment plat.
a. If ISP were approved and boundary is not abandoned with new boundaries
created to match ISP, there are design implications, beginning with site plan
approval for an unrecorded parcel.
b. Similar to a., Sheet 0.0 bonus density relies on boundary adjustment that
creates a parcel of 17.40 Ac., which does not exist at present. Engineering
recommends against bonus density that reflects 17.40 Ac. unless recorded
boundaries match overall acreage shown on C0.0 andC2.0.

with drainage areas less than 10 acres, but designers should, be aware that these "pocket" ponds
will be prone to clogging, CxPerience fluctuating water levels, and generate more nuisance
conditions, A water balance should be calculated to assess whether the wet pond will draw drawn
by more than 2 feet after a 30-day summer drought (see equations in Section 6.2).
