Initial comments from the following divisions of the Department of Community Development and other agencies, as applicable, are attached: Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) Albemarle County Engineering Services (Engineer) Albemarle County Information Services (E911) Albemarle County Building Inspections Albemarle County Department of Fire Rescue Albemarle County Service Authority Virginia Department of Transportation Comments reflect information available at the time the development proposal was reviewed and should not be considered final. However, the Site Review Committee has attempted to identify all issues that will be required to be resolved prior to Final Plat approval. Please contact me at your earliest convenience if you have questions or require additional information. Sincerely, Andy Reitelbach Senior Planner Planning Services 434-296-5832 ext. 3261 areitelbachp,albemarle. org Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) — Andy Reitelbach, areitelbach&albemarle.org — Requested changes: 1. [14-302(A)(3)] There is an extra label for Bishopgate Lane on sheet 5 south of Lott 77 that does not appear to belong there, as that section of the street has not yet been dedicated. Comment addressed. Provide the width of Route 250 and the legal reference information for this road on the easement plat sheet, sheet 3. Comment addressed. Revise note #18. This note applies to Phase 1, not Phase 2. Include the correct streets being dedicated. This note references Bishopgate Place, which is not shown on this plat (as it cannot be created unless the Planning Commission approves a request for a private street). Remove Bishopgate Place from this note. 2. [14-302(A)(5)] As the second fire access way is proposed to be `Bishopgate Lane Extended" from the edge of Block 32 to Bishopgate Lane, an easement will need to be provided in that area. An easement deed will need to be recorded for the entirety of the fire access travelway, including where it extends from Bishopgate Lane, down toward Route 250. This easement should be shown on Sheet 5 as well. A deed of easement will be required for the fire access way, or it can be included in the other required easements. The proposed public stormwater drainage and facility easements need to be called out as being dedicated to the County for public use. A deed of easement will be required to be approved and recorded along with this plat for those facilities. Deed of easement required. See attached template provided by Engineering. There is an easement called out on sheet 2 as being owned by the County (northeast portion of the property parallel to Old Trail Drive); however, it is identified as an ACSA water line easement, which means it is owned by ACSA. Please revise. Comment addressed. 3. [14-302(A)(9)] Demonstrate building sites of an adequate size for lots 1, 7, 15, and 40. These lots are more narrow at the front of the lots, and sight distance easements reduce the size of buildable areas on these lots even more. There is also a 25' maximum setback line to consider. Show on sheets 4 and 5 that these lots have the necessary building lots. 14-302(A)9 requires that all lots have buildable areas prior to a subdivision plat being approved. As single-family detached lots, these lots are not subject to site plan review. 4. [14-302(A)(13)] Please show the location of all proposed drainage and stormwater management facilities and related improvements. Deeds of dedication may be needed if any of these easements will be dedicated to public use. Comment addressed. 5. [14-302(A)(14)] Provide the acreage of land to be dedicated to either the County or to the Old Trail HOA on the cover sheet of the plat. On the plat, label whether lands are proposed to be dedicated to the Old Trail HOA, the County, or another agency, such as ACSA. The acreage appears to be slightly off, as the cover sheet says that the residue for phase 2 is 12.411 acres, while it is identified as 12.413 on sheet 2. Label on the plat sheets 3-7 "hereby dedicated to the County for public use" for those easements dedicated to the County, as well as the public rights -of -way. 6. [14-302(A)(15)] Additional owners will need to be listed on the cover sheet of the plat, to include the owner(s) of the parcels over which the emergency access easement traverses, as well as the parcel to the west of Block 32 that is involved in the boundary line adjustment with "Parcel X." There are also storm drainage easements that cross onto adjacent parcels, and the owners of these parcels will also need to be listed on the plat. The TMP numbers of these additional parcels should be included with the appropriate owner signature note and notary block, either with Old Trail HOA or with March Mountain Properties. 7. [14-302(B)(1)] Include the date of the last revision on future submittals of the plat. Comment still applies. 8. [14-302(B)(5)] Include the RA, Rural Areas zoning district on the cover sheet, as portions of this plat, such as the emergency access easement, also cross into this zoning district. Also include the applicable zoning information for the additional parcels that need to be shown on this plat, as stated in comments 6 and 9. Comment addressed. 9. [14-302(B)(6)] Provide the name(s) of the property owner, the deed book and page numbers, and the TMP number for all parcels adjacent to Block 32, on both sheet 2 and on the subdivision plat sheets. In addition, this information will need to be provided on sheet 3 for those parcels that are crossed by the emergency access easement. Comment addressed. In addition, on the cover sheet, as a part of the parcel data, the other parcels that are a part of this plat need to be included. These parcels include 55E-01-32-A, 55E-01-22-A, 55-103F, and 55E-01—R. These parcels either have proposed easements traversing them on are involved in the boundary line adjustment with Parcel X. Comment addressed. Also, the parcel number as stated in the parcel data on the cover sheet does not match that included in the owner's approval. Comment addressed. 10. [14-302(B)(9)] The flood plain overlay district needs to be shown on sheet 3. Comment addressed. 11. [14-302(B)(10)] The water protection ordinance buffer needs to be shown on sheet 3 Comment addressed. 12. [14-303(A)] The owner approval statement needs to be revised to include that this plat is Phase 2 of Block 32. Comment addressed. 13. [14-303(D)] Revise the acreage amounts, as the cover sheet identifies Residue — Phase 2 as 12.411 acres, while sheet 2 identifies it as 12.413 acres. Comment addressed. 14. [14-303(K)] Are the temporary turn-arounds from Phase 1 being vacated? Please identify what is happening to them Comment addressed. 15. [14-303(0)] Signature panels need to be provided for all owners, including the owners of the additional parcels that need to be identified on the plat, as mentioned previously in comments 6 and 9. Add the other TMP numbers identified on the cover sheet of this plat to the appropriate signatures panels. 16. [14-303(P)] Add additional notary panels as needed for the additional owners. Comment addressed. 17. [14-302(A)(4) and 14-317] An instrument/maintenance agreement evidencing maintenance of all improvements and easements that will be owned by the HOA will be needed before approval of the final plat. The maintenance agreement will need to specifically mention who is responsible for maintenance of improvements. The Old Trail Community Association, Inc. (if this is the correct organization maintaining the private improvements), will need to sign the maintenance agreement, and this will need to be reviewed and approved by the County Attorney and recorded with the County Clerk at the same time as the final plat. Comment still applies. In addition, a bond may be required for the fire access way, if not already posted, to ensure its completion when it is required. 18. [ZMA2015-00001] Label the proposed affordable units on the plat, in accordance with proffer #2 of the ZMA. Revise the Affordable Units note on the cover sheet to address Phase 2. In addition, note 24 states that there are 14 affordable units, while the note to its left under the heading "Affordable Units" states there are 23. Please revise. Revise note 24 to clarify that 14 affordable units are required. Because 23 are being provided, Phase 2 comprises more than just the 14 that are required. Label the 23 proposed affordable units on the plat. Please be advised that a Letter of Revision (LOR) cannot be done for the detached units, as they are not subject to site plan review. LORs can only address site plans, not subdivision plats. 19. [ZMA2015-00001] Identify on the table on sheet 8 what is being provided with this plat regarding affordable units and residential units as a whole. Comment addressed. 20. [ZMA2015-00001] Identify on the table on sheet 8 what is being provided with this plat regarding open space. What does TL in the table stand for? 21. [ZMA2015-00001] On the cover sheet, clearly identify the pocket parks as being dedicated to Old Trail Community Association. The note currently says "open space," but the plat labels call them "pocket parks," not open space. Comment addressed. 22. [General Comment] Revise the titles of sheets 6 and 7 to match what is stated in the Table of Contents on the cover sheet. Comment addressed. There is also a typo of "palt" under the source of title/plat references heading on the cover sheet (DB 5148 PG 191-199). Comment addressed. 23. [General Comment] Site plan(s) will be required for the single-family attached units. It is acknowledged that this plan is currently under review, SDP2018-00064. Comment still applies. 24. [General Comment] Clarify the types of housing units proposed for the lots, as there are different requirements for different types of lots. I believe lots 34-40 are attached single-family (townhouse) units. All other lots appear to be for detached single-family. However, lots 81-92 appear smaller than the other single-family detached parcels. If lots 34-40 are proposed to be cluster cottages, where is the required 15% open space proposed to be? In addition, setbacks need to be shown on these lots, including a building site on lot 40 as mentioned in comment #3 above, as cluster cottage units require minimum setbacks of 5 feet at the rear and front, and 4 feet at the sides. Lot 40 on sheet 4 has a building site outline against the property line; be aware that at least a 4-ft. setback is required from side property lines. In addition, add these setback requirements to the cover sheet of the plat, as these setbacks are different from the setbacks for conventional lots in Old Trail Village. In addition, although parking is not addressed with subdivision plats, be aware that cluster cottages require grouped parking, as stated in the code of development. 25. [14-306, 14-233, 14-234] Lot 64, Lot 65, and Bishopgate Lane Ext. need to be combined as one lot on this plat, as Bishopgate Lane Ext. has not been approved as a private street at this time, and thus, lots 64 and 65 have no frontage. In addition, the emergency access easement will need to be extended over what is shown as the private street, extending to Bishopgate Lane, as the private street has not been approved. A request for a private street and another plat will need to be submitted after approval of this plat if there is continued interest in creating a private street and additional lots in this location. Show fire access easement on sheet 5. County staff acknowledges that a private street request will be submitted for this parcel, along with an additional plat, once the Phase 2 plat is approved and recorded.
