Code is kept up-to-date by the County Attorney's office and may be found at www.albemarle.or /c ount code_.
CDD-Planning:Requested Changes (10/24/2019)
Required Revisions Necessaa for Approval:
[S.O. Section 14-228]: It is the understanding of CDD staff, based on meetings with representatives of the UVA
Foundation and Timmons Group conducted on 7/12 and 7/18, and also based on subsequent correspondence, that this
final plat SUB201900106 will be revised and resubmitted as described in an email message from Craig Kotarski, P.E.,
Timmons Group, dated 7/22 and approximately as shown in a sketch exhibit attached to the same message.
Updated Comment 9/17: Addressed — revised plat received 8/ 14. However, staff acknowledge recent email
correspondence with Timmons Group (on 9/10 and 9/16) regarding an additional proposed revision (involving a
modification to the proposed new parcel line between proposed TMP #32-18A and proposed TMP #32-18, by shifting
this parcel line to the north). Staff and SRC members will formally review this relatively minor proposed revision after
formal revision and resubmittal; however, at this time, the additional proposed revision (as described and as shown in
the 9/10 email) does not appear to be problematic, provided that modifications are also made to the acreage
calculations and other detailed information about the proposed parcels to be consistent and accurate with the proposed
modification of the parcel line.
[S.O. Section 14-303.(T)]: As discussed during the coordination referred to in comment #1, the proposed "New Parcel
`A"' should be shown as a "Special Lot" on the revised and resubmitted final plat SUB201900106. If the final plat
includes a special lot, the following note must be placed on the plat: "Lot `X' is a special lot established solely for
(insert purpose for the special lot as identified in the definition of special lot in section 14-106)."
a. For reference, Subdivision Ordinance Section 14-106 specifies the following definition for Special Lot:
Special lot. The term "special lot" means a lot created to be used exclusively for public or private streets,
railroad right-of-way and railroad lines, public utilities, publicly owned or operated public facilities,
publicly owned or operated parks, publicly or privately owned sites for personal wireless service
facilities, central water supplies and central sewerage systems as those terms are defined in chapter 16,
storinwater management facilities, cemeteries existing on June 8, 2011, conservation areas, preservation
areas, open space, and greenways.
Updated Comment 9/17: Partially addressed. Proposed Parcel A is labeled as "(New) Special Lot." However, the note
required per S.O. Section 14-303.(T) appears to be missing. See also CDD-Planning review comment #7.
Updated Comment 10/19: Addressed.
[S.O. Section 14-302.(B).5]: Please revise the Survey Notes on Sheet 1 to convey the following information:
Page 1 of 4
a. The ZMA/Proffer must be listed as ZMA200500002 and ZMA200500003, and the listed ZMA
(ZMA199800027) should be removed.
Updated Comment 9/17: Partially addressed. ZMA-2005-00003 has been identified for TMPs #32-18 and #32-18A,
but not for TMPs #32-1813 or #32-6R. Please add reference to ZMA-2005-00003 for TMP #32-1813, which is one of
the parcels listed in the proffer statement for ZMA-2005-00003. Please ensure ZMA-1998-00027 is the correct zoning
for TMP #32-6R (note: this appears to be correct, based on GIS-Web).
Updated Comment 10/19: Addressed.
4. [S.O. Sections 14-302.(A).8 and 14-303.(D)]: Please revise the description of "Adjusted TMP 32-18A" on Sheet 2.
The annotation for this proposed parcel reads "(Portion of) TMP 32-18A to be transferred to TMP 32-18A (3.471 ac)."
However, it appears that it should be revised as follows: "(Portion of) TMP 32-18 to be transferred to TMP 32-18A
(3.471 ac)." Note: this error does not appear in the Area Tabulation Chart on Sheet 1, which appears to be correct.
Updated Comment 10/19: Addressed.
5. [S.O. Sections 14-303 and 14-302.(A).121: Please show existing topography.
Updated Comment 10/19: Addressed.
6. [S.O. Sections 14-303 and 14-302.(B).81: Please identify (by graphic depiction, note(s), or both) the location of all
required yards (setback areas).
Updated Comment 10/19: Partially addressed. Staff acknowledges the "Setbacks" information added to Note 11
on Sheet 1. However, the required "50' Buffer Area" established through ZMA-2005-00003 must also be
described and/or shown on the applicable parcels, including (but not necessarily limited to) TMP #32-6R. Staff
requests that this buffer be graphically depicted on Sheet 2 and also annotated as "50' Buffer Area per ZMA-
2005-00003" or similar. An excerpt of the proffer statement and of Exhibit K-4 for ZMA-2005-00003 are
provided below for reference:
