Review Status: Requested Changes (10/25/2019)
1. [S.O. Sections 14-303 and 14-302.(B).5] : Please revise Note A. to specify that T.M. 18-34F 1 is zoned RA Rural
Areas and contains areas in the Critical Slopes Overlay District.
Update 9/12: Comment withdrawn / no further revision required. Staff acknowledges that the Steep Slopes
Overlay District (located in applicable locations in the Development Area only) is distinct from Critical Slopes,
which is not a zoning overlay district and which are located in the Rural Areas only.
2. [S.O. Sections 14-303, 14-302.(A).4, 14-302.(A).5, 14.302.(A).13, and 14.302.(A).15]: Please revise the plat to
identify the location and dimensions of proposed and existing easements, and identify the easement holder(s),
including those easements shown on the corresponding easement plat SUB201900014 (dated 1/22/2019) and any
other applicable easements. However, the location and dimensions of the easements specified in Note 4.A and
Note 4.13 do not need to be identified on the plat.
Update 9/12: Comment withdrawn / no further revision required.
3. [S.O. Sections 14-207.(E) and 14-404]: The proposed Parcel G2 would have approximately four hundred and
eight (408) feet of frontage, or less than five hundred (500) feet of frontage, on a major rural street identified in
subsection 14-207(E) ["Markwood Road (SR 664) from Buck Mountain Ford Lane (SR 776) to Buck Mountain
Road (SR 665)."] Therefore, the existing "30' private street easement" must be used to access proposed Parcel
G2, per S.O. Section 14-404.
Update 9/12: Addressed / no further revision required.
Page 1 of 3
4. [S.O. Sections 14-311, 14-401.(F), and 14-412.(A).21: Parcel G2's use of the existing "30' private street
easement" (as required per Sections 14-207.(E) and 14-404) results in a total of three parcels being accessed by
the existing 30' private street easement. Therefore, information must be submitted to the County for review by
CDD-Engineering staff to document how the existing private street will be physically upgraded to meet all
applicable minimum standards, or to demonstrate that the private street's existing conditions already meet the
applicable minimum standards.
This also appears to trigger the requirement to prepare and submit an updated private street maintenance
agreement pursuant to S.O. Sections 14-235(A) and 14-317 (see review comment #5, below).
Update: Not addressed. Staff acknowledges information provided on August 19 via email regarding the existing
private street. ("The portion of the private street serving the three lots is a 20' paved street.") However, additional
information must be provided to the satisfaction of CDD-Engineering in order to determine the adequacy of the
existing private street relative to applicable "standards" and "minimum design requirements" for private streets in
the rural areas serving three to five lots (see CDD-Engineering review comment #6, attached).
Updated Comment 10/25: Not addressed. Staff acknowledges the additional detailed information provided
on October 1 via email regarding the existing private street. However, per the CDD-Engineering review
comments dated 10/25/2019, CDD staff are currently unable to determine the adequacy of the existing
private street relative to applicable "standards" and "minimum design requirements" for private streets in
the rural areas serving three to five lots. (Please see the attached CDD-Engineering review comments.)
5. [S.O. Sections 14-235(A) and 14-3171: Please prepare and submit an updated road maintenance agreement for
review and approval by the County Attorney's Office prior to County approval of the final plat. Staff
acknowledges that a copy of an existing private street maintenance agreement was provided with this application;
however, that agreement relates to a 30' private street easement serving two lots only, and review of an updated
agreement is necessary for proposed Parcels G2's use of the existing 30' private street easement.
Update: Not addressed. Staff acknowledges correspondence regarding the maintenance agreement with Mr.
Forbes Reback, Esq., attorney for Lick Mountain, LLC, during the month of August. However, Staff is currently
unable to determine the adequacy of the existing private street maintenance agreement, which will be (partially)
determined by the applicants' responses to CDD-Planning review comment #4 (above), CDD-Engineering review
comment #6 (see attached), and Fire -Rescue review comment (see attached).
If improvements to the existing private street are necessary in order to meet applicable "standards" and "minimum
design requirements" (to be determined, per CDD-Engineering review of pending resubmittal materials in
response to CDD-Engineering review comment #6) and/or applicable Fire Code requirements (to be determined,
per Fire -Rescue review of pending resubmittal materials in response to Fire -Rescue review comments), then this
maintenance agreement would have to be revised to "describe the condition of the improvement" pursuant to S.O.
14-317.(A).5 and to clearly identify the "standards" and "minimum design requirements" for this private street in
the rural areas serving three to five lots pursuant to S.O. 14-412.(A).2.
Updated Comment 10/25: Pending. Please see original CDD-Planning comment #5 and "Update" (above).
Resolution of comment to be determined through CDD-Engineering's determination of the adequacy of the
existing private street relative to applicable "standards" and "minimum design requirements" for private
streets in the rural areas serving three to five lots.
6. [S.O. Sections 14-202 and 14-209.131: All other applicable SRC members must indicate their tentative approval
of this final plat SUB201900116 prior to County approval.
Update 9/12: Not addressed — additional revision(s) required; see page 3.
Staff acknowledges approvals from VDOT and VDH.
CDD-Engineering review status is "Requested Changes" (see attached comments from David James, CDD-
Engineering, dated 9/11/2019). Additionally, Albemarle County Fire — Rescue has reviewed the resubmitted plat
(revised 8/19/2019) and has indicated their review status is "Requested Changes."
Updated Comment 10/25: Partially addressed — additional revision(s) required; see page 3. Staff
acknowledges the recent review comments and updated review status of "No Objection" from Fire -Rescue
(see attached comments from Shawn Maddox, Deputy Fire Marshal, dated 10/18/2019). However, CDD-
Engineering provided updated review comments (dated 10/25/2019) and review status of "Requested
Page 2 of 3
Changes." Please continue to coordinate with CDD-Engineering to address and resolve outstanding issues.
Thank you.
Advisory/No Revision Required: When the use of an existing private street is expanded to include three (or
more) parcels, County policy requires that a private street name be established. When final plat SUB201900116 is
revised and resubmitted, E911 staff in the Community Development Department will coordinate with you to
establish a private street name.
Update 9/12: Addressed. Staff acknowledges the recent coordination with CDD-E911 staff and the resulting
approved road name (Markwood Farm Lane).

Hi Tim,
Thanks for sending those comments along.
I've attached a revised version of the plat.
I think some of the comments are a result of not realizing the extent of the 3 lot portion of the private street.
We've added some information to clarify that.
On the attached plat, I've highlighted in pink the portion of the street that serves the 3 lots. You'll see the
driveway to TM 18-34F2 (Parcel G1) leaves the street at approximately 50'.
Beyond that point the street only serves Parcel G2 and the residue of Parcel G.
So, the portion of the road that serves the 3 lots is at least 20' wide and is paved. We've added the grade of
that portion also (5%).
1 believe this meets Fire/Rescue's requirements and since it's less than 150' will not require an emergency
apparatus turn around.
Also, I believe this meets the County's requirements for a 3-5 lot private street. It exceeds the width
requirement of 14', the 6+' of additional pavement width provides the necessary 3' shoulder requirement and
although less than 7% grade, it is already paved.
Again, we've added the existing driveway to Parcel G1 for clarity on the extents of the 3 lot portion of the
private street. Buildings are only required to be shown if within 50' of the new division line.
The health department has approved the drain field locations for these lots and their locations are shown on
the information submitted.
Driveways are reviewed with building permits regarding Sec. 18-4.6.6 and aren't required to be shown on a
subdivision plat.
Please follow up with Forbes Reback regarding the road maintenance agreement if any changes are required
after this updated information.
The 3 lot private street already exists, so no further construction or bonding should be required.
We've also added the new street name and revised date.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
thank you,
Brian Ray, L.S.

RE: Review of Proposed Subdivision Plat and attached Soils Information for Individual Onsite Sewage
Systems as part of a division of Tax Map 18 Parcel 34F1 located in Albemarle County, Virginia.
Dear Mr. Padalino:
On July 9 & 16, 2019, the County of Albemarle requested the Virginia Department of Health (via the Albemarle
County Health Department) review the proposed subdivision plat identified above. This letter is to inform you
that the above referenced subdivision plat is approved for individual Onsite Sewage Systems in
accordance with the provisions of the Code of Virginia, the Sewage Handling and Disposal Regulations,
and local ordinances.
This request for subdivision review was submitted pursuant to the provisions of § 32.1.163.5 of the Code of
Virginia which requires the Health Department to accept private soil evaluations and designs from an
Authorized Onsite Soil Evaluator (AOSE) or a Professional Engineer working in consultation with an AOSE for
residential development. This subdivision was certified as being in compliance with the Board of Health's
Regulations by Steve Gooch; Desire Soil Evaluator Number 1940001284. This subdivision approval is
issued in reliance upon that certification.
Pursuant to § 360 of the Regulations this approval is not an assurance that Sewage Disposal System
Construction Permits will be issued for any lot in the subdivision identified above unless that lot is specifically
identified on the above referenced plat as having an approved site for an onsite sewage disposal system, and
unless all conditions and circumstances are present at the time of application for a permit as are present at the
time ofthis approval. This subdivision may contain lots that to do not have approved sites for onsite sewage
systems.
This subdivision approval does pertain to the requirements of local ordinances.
Sincerely,
