From: Megan Nedostup, Christopher Perez
Division: Community Development — Planning
Date: September 24, 2019
Subject: SUB201800225 North Pointe Middle and Northeast Residential — Preliminary Subdivision Plat
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plat referenced above once the following
comments have been satisfactorily addressed. The following comments are those that have been identified at this time.
Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review. [Each comment is preceded by
the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.]
1. [30.7, 30.7.4(b)1(g)] Steep Slope Overlay. The original rezoning was approved to disturb critical slopes as proposed
on the application plan. However in 2014 there was a Countywide rezoning of all slopes in the development area to
either preserved or managed slopes. Preserved slopes are not permitted to be disturbed, managed slopes are permitted
to be disturbed per the County's design standards. Section 30.7.4(b) I (g) allows uses/structures shown on an approved
application plan to be located on preserved slopes.
In order to verify compliance with [30.7, 30.7.4(b)l(g)] Steep Slope Overlay provide one exhibit depicting the
following prior to preliminary plat approval:
- The envelop of development from the approved application plan superimposed on the envelop of
development for the current proposal.
- The County's steep slopes overlay district (distinguishing managed and preserved slopes)
- The critical slopes depicted on the approved application plan.
Rev 1. The exhibit was provided and reviewed. The following review comments must be addressed prior to
final subdivision plat approval. [30.7, 30.7.4(b)l(g), ZMA2000-91 Steep Slope Overlay.:
a. [30.7.4(b)(1)(g)] Legislative zoning actions related to the underlying district. The proposed storm sewer along
the rear property line of Lot 130 is not a use/structure permitted by right on preserved slopes. On the final
subdivision plat provide a note that certifies no disturbance of the preserved slopes will take place while the
proposed storm sewer is installed. If disturbance will occur with the installation of the storm sewer, remove or
relocate the storm sewer and the associated easement so that it's installation will not disturb the preserved
slopes.
b. [30.7.4(b)(1)(g)] Legislative zoning actions related to the underlying district. The proposed stormwater
management basin and storm sewer that are located within the open space at the rear of Lot 138 are not
uses/structures permitted by right on preserved slopes. Prior to final subdivision plat approval relocate the
proposed stormwater management basin and storm sewer completely out of the preserved slopes.
c. [30.7.4(b)(1)(g)] Legislative zoning actions related to the underlying district. The proposed storm sewer
outfall between Lot 179 and Lot 180 is not a use/structure permitted by right on preserved slopes. Prior to
final subdivision plat approval remove the storm sewer outfall from the preserved slopes.
d. 130.7.4(b)(1)(g), 30.7.4(b)(1)(h)] Legislative zoning actions related to the underlying district. Lot 176 and Lot
194 are not uses permitted by right on preserved slopes. Prior to final subdivision plat approval depicting
these 2 lots in their current location the owner shall submit new topographic information that is based on
more accurate or better technical data demonstrating, to the satisfaction of the County Engineer, that all the
slopes on the proposed lots are less than twenty-five (25) percent. If this is not achieved, then the subject
residential lot(s) shall be removed from the preserved slopes.
2. [ZMA2013-14, 14-4091 Coordination and Extension of Streets. On the final plat the applicant shall dedicate to public
use the Lewis and Clark Road connection to the northern property line of TMP 32-22K. A road plan is required for
this segment of roadway, this can either be accomplished on a new road plan or on SUB2016-92. Prior to final
subdivision plat approval the connection shall be built or bonded.
At SRC the applicant requested to phase the preliminary plat into two phases and bond the above mentioned road
improvement with the second phase. This is permissible to Planning staff and shall be depicted on the final plat.
Depending on where the phase line is, this modification may effect Fire and Rescue's review/approval. Prior to
preliminary plat approval please submit either an exhibit or revised preliminary plat which shows the phase line.
Rev 1. Comment not adequately addressed. [14-409, 14-434, 14-435, ZMA2013-7, and ZMA2000-91
Coordination and extension of streets. The phasing that is depicted on the preliminary subdivision plat is not
what was discussed with Planning staff at the SRC meeting. The proposed phasing of LEWIS & CLARK'
from CLIFFSTONE BLVD2 to the abutting Neighborhood Investments — NP LLC property line of TMP 32-
22K is not permitted. Remove the proposed phase line. On the final plat the right of way shall be dedicated to
public use, provide the following note for the right-of-way dedication: "91' Wide Public Right-of-way Area
Hereby Dedicated to the County of Albemarle for Public Use. " Prior to final subdivision plat approval the above
road shall be designed on a road plan and built or bonded. The road plan shall coordinate the location, width,
grades and drainage with the Phase III road improvements on the Neighborhood Investments — NP LLC
property. If required by VDOT the road shall terminate within the subdivision with a temporary turnaround.
3. [Proffer 10.11 On the northern side of Cross Creek Drive provide an emergency connection to TMP 32-22E. The plat
shall label it "50' Right-of-way Reserved for Future Dedication Upon Demand of the County". Also, ensure that all
applicable temporary construction easements are provided to construct the connection. Be aware that the proffer also
states that prior to the issuance of a building permit for building 32 as shown on the application plan that the R/W
shall be dedicated to public use, which means a roadplan for that section shall be approved and bondedprior to
dedication and acceptance and/or the conditions listed shall be addressed in a deed.
Rev 1. Comment not fully addressed. [ZMA2013-7 Proffer 10.1, 14-4291 On the final subdivision plat label the
emergency connection to TMP 32-22E as 1150' Wide Right-of-way Area Hereby Reserved for Future
Dedication for Public Use Upon Demand of the County". Also, depict, label, and dimension the temporary
construction easements that are needed to construct the road.
4. 114-434, 14-435, 14-311, 14-435.1] Prior to final subdivision plat approval Road Plan and WPO Plan must be
approved for the section being platted, additionally all required improvements must be built or bonded, and all
required Deeds and Declarations must be reviewed and approved prior to final subdivision plat approval.
5. [SP2002-72] Condition #9. On the final subdivision plat label both of the emergency connection to Pritchett Lane as
"50' Wide Right-of-way Area Hereby Reserved for Future Dedication for Public Use Upon Demand of the County".
Also, depict, label, and dimension the temporary construction easements that are needed to construct the road.
6. [SP2002-72] Condition #8. On the final subdivision plat provide the following note: "An approved landscape plan is
required prior to the issuance of the 1 ` CO for any of the dwelling units on any of the lots abutting Pritchett Lane. "
7. [SP2002-72] Condition #10. On the final subdivision plat provide the following note: "An overlot grading plan must
be approved by the County Engineer prior to the issuance of a building permit for a new residence on any
subdivision lot less than 15, 000 SF in size. "
8. [ZMA2013-7 Proffer 8.2(e)] Affordable Housing. On the final subdivision plat provide a chart that provides a
running total of the number and percentage of affordable units previously provided and proposed to be provided by
the subdivision plat.
9. [ZMA2013-7 Proffer 8.2(d)] Affordable Housing/Carriage House Units. On the final subdivision plat provide the
1 LEWIS & CLARK is labeled on the application plan as the Northwest Passage
2 CLIFFSTONE BLVD is labeled on the application plan as North Pointe Boulevard
following note: "Carriage units shall meet the requirements for a single family dwelling as defined in the Virginia
Uniform Statewide Building Code, and shall be on the sameparcel as theprimary dwelling unit to which it is
accessory, and shall not be subdivided from the primary residence. These restrictions must be incorporated into each
deed conveying title of such parcels. "
10. [ZMA2013-7, SP2002-72, 32.2, 4.161 Site Plan. Throughout the subdivision there are numerous required recreational
amenities depicted, such as swimming pool & clubhouse w/ associated parking. These improvements require initial
site plan and a final site plan approval prior to applying for a building permit of these uses. If these uses require over
10,000 SF of land disturbance a WPO application will also be required for the use. On the final subdivision plat
please ensure these improvements are depicted and labeled as "Open space hereby dedicated to the HOA for
recreational amenities" or some other comparable identifier. Prior to final subdivision plat approval a covenants and
restriction document shall be approved by the County Attorney's office which includes maintenance of these open
space areas and amenities. The recreational areas in each phase shall be built once 50% of the units in the phase
receive their certificate of occupancy, CO's past the 50% will be held till those improvements are installed.
11. [14-302(A)(8)] Proposed lots.
a. There appears to be an issue with the lot numbering. Sheets C-1 through C-9 identify lots 1-174, using
two instances of Lots 76-99 (i.e. 24 duplicated lot numbers). At the same time, Sheets C-10 and C-11,
utilize a different lot numbering layout, without duplicating lot numbers. In both layouts, 198 lots are
provided. This total does not align with the housing summaries provided on Sheets C-1 and C-10.
Please review and align this information to:
i. Revise the housing number summaries accordingly Rev 1. Comment not addressed.
b. Provide the approximate dimensions and area of each proposed lot. Rev 1. Comment not addressed.
The residue area of TMP 32-20 is not provided with a clear parcel boundary which defines the
limits of the subdivision. Additionally, the acreage of the residue lot is not provided. Also, the
proposed parks are not provided with clear parcel boundaries, nor provided acreages.
12. [14-302(A)(14)] Land to be dedicated or reserved.
a. Label the future elementary school site and acreage, similar to the label used for Future Apartments on
Sheet 10, on all sheets where that site is shown and reference the associated proffer number.
Rev 1. [ZMA2013-7 Proffer 9.11 Elementary School Site. The future elementary school lot is
required to be 12.85 acres, currently it is listed as 9 acres. Prior to final subdivision plat approval
the lot shall be a minimum of 12.85 acres.
b. Label the future Park F.
c. Provide a width for Park G, ensuring that it is at least 20ft, in order to avoid non -conforming "double
frontage" lots.
d. On Sheet 11, please review the area demarcated "Land to be dedicated to the County" behind Lots 181-
182 to ensure it aligns with the approved 2006 Zoning Application Plan (see Sheet G).
13. 114-302(B)(8), 14-4011 Yards.
a. Ensure all required lot setbacks are shown on the final subdivision plat.
b. To avoid non -conforming "double frontage" lots with future buildout, Lots 171, 172, and 174 on Sheet
C-6 (also labeled as Lots 195, 196, and 198) shall be provided a 20ft wide strip of dedicated open space
area to be maintained by the HOA, located between the rear of the lots and the right-of-way for Lewis &
Clark.
14. [Comment] Pedestrian Network. Depict the required pedestrian pathways around the future elementary school site,
and between Lewis & Clark Drive and the middle entrance (see approved application plan). Also, throughout the plat
depict the required sidewalk and landscaping strips. Currently various pages throughout the plat switch between
symbology showing these improvements. I surmise that a layer was turned off on some of the sheets. Revise.
15. [14-421] Monuments. All exterior and interior boundaries are required to be monumented. Please provide this
information on the plat, or a note that the required monuments will be set by X date or time, per Sec. 14-421.
16. [14-303] Contents of final plat. On the final subdivision plat provide all necessary content as noted in Section 14-303,
in addition to the revisions described above. Also be aware, when submitting the final subdivision plat, a written
request or application to disturb steep slope areas will also be required, per Section 14-304.
17. [14-302(A)(16)] Dam break inundation zones. Depict and label Dam Break Inundation Zone limits.
18. [14-302(B)(1)] General information. Indicate the total number of sheets, either as part of title block or on the cover
sheet.
19. [14-302(B)(5)] Zoning. Include in the zoning notes that this property contains the following overlays: Airport Impact
Area, Entrance Corridor, Flood Hazard Overlay (100 Year Floodplain), Steep Slopes (Managed and Preserved), and
Water Protection Ordinance (WPO) Buffers. Additionally, note that this property is subject to ZMA2013-14,
ZMA2013-7, ZMA2000-9, SP2015-03, and SP2002-72. Rev 1. Comment not fully addressed. [14-302(B)(5)]
Zoning. On the final subdivision plat include in the zoning notes that this property contains the following
overlays: Airport Impact Area, Steep Slopes (Managed and Preserved). Additionally, on the final subdivision
plat note that this property is subject to SP2015-03 and SP2002-72.
20. [14-302(A)(2)] Vicinity map. Include prominent waterways and bodies on the vicinity map as they integral features of
this development. Also, differentiate on this map the section of development covered by this subdivision plat in
relation to the larger North Pointe development.
21. [14-302(A)(3)] Existing streets. Provide the location, width and names of all existing streets abutting the property,
including Pritchett Lane, particularly as it provides access to proposed Lot 99.
22. [14-302(A)(3)] Street names. Street names will need to be approved by the E911 reviewer. Please see attached review
notes.
23. [14-409] Street Coordination. Ensure roadway alignment is consistent with the adjacent townhome development,
abutting Route 29. See signed affidavit. Rev 1. Comment not addressed. The alignment proposed on the road
plan and the plat do not match.
24. [14-302(A)(4-5)] Easements. Please label all easements as "existing" or "proposed". If "existing" include the deed
book, page number, and the owner of record. If proposed easements are to be public, please denote using "dedicated
to public use".
25. [14-302(A)(7)] Existing and departing lot line. It is not clear, on any one map, how the existing and departing lot
lines relate to one another. While sheets attempt to include both, the line type for "parcels to be abandoned" - dash
dot dash - is also being used for other elements (see leader line on Sheet C-3), also topographic and grading lines
make these lines hard to decipher.
Sheet 10 and its inset map may be a suitable place to provide this information. (Note: Looking at the location of
Seminole Trail on both maps, it appears they may be oriented differently, even though their north arrows indicate a
similar orientation. Please review and revise to ensure alignment.)
26. [SP2002-72] Condition #9(B) Extension to TMP 32-23HI. Prior to final subdivision plat approval revise the location
of the 50' wide reservation area that is currently depicted between Lot 48 and Lot 49 to conform with the application
plan.
27. [SP2002-72] Condition # 7(B). Prior to final subdivision plat approval a deed of dedication shall be submitted by the
applicant and approved by the County Attorney for the greenway and all pedestrian pathways. The final subdivision
plat shall include tabulation of greenway area to be dedicated.
28. [SP2002-72] Condition #11. On the final subdivision plat provide a note that verifies each lot meets the following
special use permit condition: All residential uses shall be served by gravity sanitary sewers; however, basements may
be served by grinder pumps.
29. [14-414, 4.1, ZMA2000-9] Prior to final subdivision plat approval Lot 99 shall be provided public water and public
sewer approved by ACSA. Additionally, Lot 99 shall receive VDOT approval for an entrance onto Pritchett Lane.
30. [ZMA2013-07, ZMA2000-9, 14-302(A)(14)] On the final subdivision plat clearly depict park boundaries and square
footages/acreages. All parks shall be on individual special lots for open space purposes maintained by the HOA.
31. [14-302(A)(9)] Building sites on proposed lots. On the final subdivision plat revise the building site note to ensure
each proposed lot contains a building site. Ensure the note matches the following format: "Parcel [letter or number]
and the residue of Tax Map/Parcel [numbers] each contain a building site that complies with section 4.2.1 of the
Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. " Currently note #8 references 174 lots; however, there are 198 lots proposed
with this plat.
32. [14-302(A)8] Proposed lots. On the final subdivision plat provide a chart/table which lists each lot and associated
square footage, include open space parcels in this chart.
33. On the final subdivision plat correctly label TMP 32-22K, currently the preliminary plat incorrectly labels it as TMP
32-22H. Also, on the final subdivision plat correctly label the owner of TMP 32-22P as Neighborhood Investments —
NP LLC
34. [14-317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. Prior to final subdivision plat approval
instruments evidencing maintenance of the pedestrian tunnel and the utility crossings within the public right of way
that are located over culverts must be approved by the County. Submit the draft documents to Planning staff for a
cursory review and I'll forward them to the County Attorney for review. Board of Supervisor approval or
authorization of this agreement may be required prior to County approval of the road plan and final subdivision plat.
35. [ZMA2013-07, ZMA2000-91 Proffer 9.2(a). Bus Stop Turnoffs, Bus Stop Improvements, and Bus Service. Depict and
label the 2 required bus stop turnoffs on North Pointe Blvd, adjacent to Park I. One shall be provided on each side of
the road as depicted in the application plan. The bus stop turnoffs shall be approved with the road plan and bonded
prior to final subdivision plat approval.
36. [14-303] Contents of final plat. On the final subdivision plat provide all necessary content as noted in Section 14-303,
in addition to the revisions described above.
