Rucker, Fri 2/14/2020 3:59 PM ] Date of comments: 30 May 2019 (Rev. 1) 23 Sep 2019 (Rev. 2) 14 Nov 2019 (Rev. 3) 16 Feb 2020 Reviewer: John Anderson Keane / Brian, we have reviewed the final plat and have the following comments: Engineering —Nearly all initial comments addressed. If Addressed, initial comment is grayscale. 1. Please revise plat title to `Subdivision Plat and Forest and Open Space, ACSA Utility, Private and Public Drainage, and SWM Facility and Access Easements, Lots 1 thru 26 Crozet Court'. (Rev. 1) Withdrawn. Applicant response: `Plat preparer has opted to keep the plat title as shown.' 2. Revise any reference to 50' stream buffer or 50' stream buffers. Replace with 50' stream offset or 50' stream offsets. Plat should not recognize a buffer classification not recognized by ordinance. Engineering recognizes value in 50' stream offset linework, since certain development may occur in the landward 50' of 100' or 200' stream buffers, which are the only buffer dimensions referenced in County Code 17-600. 3. Revise Note H to include a new sentence that reads: `Reference Code of Virginia § 18.2-126.' 4. After discussion with Planning, Final Plat must provide Access easement to cemetery as required by state law (§ 57-27.1; text below). State law requires reasonable access. With this development, please provide: a. Cemetery Access Easement, Min. 10' width. b. Label this easement. c. Provide relevant notes, sheet 1. d. Note: Engineering recommends (with Road Plan) an on -street parking space available though not dedicated to public /descendants /research visits to cemetery. If parking is provided to only meet subdivision requirements, with not one space available for cemetery visitors during reasonable hours, there is possibility if not likelihood that a cemetery visitor might: (Rev. 1) Withdrawn. Applicant response: `While we appreciate the consideration which County Engineering puts into cemetery access, Agatha Ridge Lane and Jamestown Road are public streets —there can be no private reservations of street spaces. Furthermore, we do not think there will be a lack of parking, as each lot has a driveway that provides 2 off-street parking spaces, in addition to the on -street spaces.' Engineering accepts this response. i. Take a space otherwise relied upon by subdivision residents or their guests, or Engineering Review Comments Page 2 of 4 ii. Be unable to park then access the cemetery via cemetery access easement. (There is no on -street parking on Park Road.) iii. Either situation is avoidable if at least one non -reserved on -street parking space near the cemetery access easement is provided with road /subdivision design. e. A walkable path between sidewalk on cemetery side of Jamestown Road or Agatha Lane centered on cemetery access easement, and nearest cemetery boundary, a path to be constructed with the subdivision, and maintained by the HOA. Provide with Road Plan. f. Access path (4.c.) must meet, at a minimum, Class B-type 2 trail standard. Ref. ACDSM Sec. 7.H. (Rev. 1) Not addressed. Applicant response: `The developer opts to refuse this recommendation, state code does not require 10' asphalt paths for cemetery access. A walkable slope, platted access, and signage will be sufficient to meet the "reasonable access" required by state.' Asfollow- up: Comment is neither a recommendation nor a request for a 10' asphalt path, but request for 5' wide stone dust, gravel or equivalent semi -permanent surface. Without copy of plat, visitors to cemetery will likely be unaware where they may legally cross Lot 21. The property owner may or may not be aware where visitors may legally cross. Visitors, property owner, and community will benefit from modest walkable path between Jamestown Rd. and Cemetery. 5' Minimum surface width Class B -type 2 high -maintenance pedestrian path may be identified via plat sheet 1 Note. Road Plan should be revised to identify trail feature between Jamestown Road and cemetery. Ref. ACDSM /:w..,,.,w [Image removed with Rev 3. comments]: g. Provide a sign using language of §57-27.1. A sign identifying cemetery access is needed. News of infringement of rights across the U.S., experience of Aug-2017, and potential for misunderstanding supports request for a sign that makes clear that non-residents may enter Crozet Court subdivision to visit the cemetery shown on this plat. Provide with Road Plan. 5. Revise drainage easement on Lots 6-9 (D1, D2, D3) to match approved WPO201700075. Public drainage easement across Lots 6 - 8 appears unnecessary. (Rev. 1) Withdrawn. Applicant response (partial): `Drainage Easements match WPO201700075 Amendment.' 6. Provide 12' wide SWM access easement across Lot 9, per approved WP0201700075. (Rev. 1) Partially addressed. As follow-up: a) Label easement `20' Public Drainage and SWM Access Easement' to match WPO201700075 Amendment, to identify access easement; b) Widen access at Agatha Ridge Lane to extend to Lot 9-Lot 10 property line. Width as shown centers on a DI. Widening the access easement provides means for a vehicle to largely avoid the DI, minimizing risk of damage, or property owner complaint. Please include triangular wedge within SWM Access Easement. (.PDF preview welcome.) (Rev. 2) Addressed. 7. Provide public drainage easement across Lots 12, 13 to match approved WPO201700075. 8. Modify Lot 9 drainage easement to match approved WPO201700075. 9. Review proposed Forest /Open Space Easement proposed with plat v. area proposed with WPO201700075 Amendment. Acreage appears to differ slightly (2.30 v. 2.37 Ac.). 10. Provide ACSA (FH) Easement, Lot 16. 11. Provide ACSA (FH) Easement, Lot 24. Ref. SUB201700187. 12. Provide inset detail for cul-de-sac, Agatha Lane, C22 thru C38. 13. Provide inset detail, C52, C53, WI 8, Jamestown Road. (Rev. 1) NA. Applicant response: `This portion has been removed/revised, inset no longer necessary.' 14. Show existing structure on current 56D-2 (TBR). Dwelling shown with 2019 Google Map imagery. 15. Agatha Lane may need to be revised, per County GIS Road Plan review comment. Ref. SUB201700187. 16. ACSA is requested to advise on any requirements to protect Ex. ACSA San. Sewer Line, at discharge point, Storm Str. El, sheet C4, WPO201700075 Amendment (coincident with endpoint, D14). Requirements may not affect plat, but may require note or revision to WPO201700075 Plan Amendment. (Rev. 1) Addressed. Applicant response: `ACSA has approved locations of sanitary sewer and blessed the location of the discharges.' (Rev. 3): Asfollow-upto (Private) retaining wall easement established on Lots 17-21: retaining wall easement occupies (encroaches on) Ex. 20' ACSA sanitary sewer easement. Coordinate with ACSA and confirm proposed retaining wall easement may encroach on Ex. ACSA sanitary sewer easement. Also, item 19, below. Engineering Review Comments Page 3 of 4 17.

Notes should r^^ [Text image removed with Rev 3 comments]: (Notes above from UVA Birdwood Golf Course Plat, deed bk.-pg. 5080-432, recorded 8/6/18.) (Rev. 1) Addressed. 18. (Rev. 2) 14-Nov 2019 CV comment: `No linework, note or label revisions required, or requested. Engineering review status =Requested Change is placeholder reminder that plat is not approved until recorded, that recordation requires accompanying deed of dedication of easement. Engineering will format deed (template) once all other reviewers' comments are addressed. It will help if Applicant (or Planning) notifies Engineering once all reviewers' comments are addressed, at which point, Engineering will route .PDF of plat with formatted deed for internal legal review. If no objections or request for revision (by legal staff), then deed will be sent to Applicant (.PDF) for notarized signature, with request to return signed and notarized plat and signed and notarized deed to CDD /Engineering for county executive and CAO signatures, prior to return to Applicant for recordation.' (Rev. 3) Comment persists. 19. New with Rev. 3 / Re. proposed New 16' and variable width retaining wall maintenance and access Esmt: a. Coordinate with ACSA. Confirm proposed retaining wall easement may encroach on Ex. 20' ACSA sanitary sewer easement (purple lines). If not, revise wall location or design; image, below. b. Please clearly define edge of retaining wall easement on Lots 20, 21. Edge of retaining wall esmt. on Lots 20 and 21 (64' dimension opposite M1) does not appear to be a single line segment (Image 2, below). Provide metes /bounds as needed to completely define retaining wall easement across all lots where retaining wall easement is proposed.
