INFO@ROUDABUSH.COM March 12, 2020 County of Albemarle Department of Community Development Attn.: Tim Padalino, Senior Planner Re: SUB201900115 Brookhill — Subdivision of Tax Map Parcel 46-18 Dear Mr. Padalino, We have reviewed your comments provided on July 24, 2019, and provide the following responses: 1. -[S.O. Sections 14-302.(A).4 and 14-302.(A).14]: Note 17 identifies the exact acreages of the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement areas, after subtracting out the anticipated limits of disturbance. The annotation on Sheet 2 appears to identify different acreages for the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement areas which do not factor out the anticipated limits of disturbance. Please revise the plat to clarify these discrepant acreages as follows: a) The larger/total acreages of each lot (2.990 acres and 3.910 acres) should continue to be identified on Sheet 2, but a note should be added to specify the exact acreages of the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement areas within those lots. For example, the "Open Space - County Park" should continue to be identified as being 2.990 Acres, but a note must be added to specify that the corresponding proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement area would be 2.961 acres. The same information must be provided for the "Open Space - Greenway Reservation" lot and the corresponding proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement area within that lot. Response: Labels have been added to identify total areas of easement. Please note, the proposed lots and corresponding areas have been removed. b) The note on Sheet 2 regarding the SWM Forest and Open Space Easement ["New SWM Forest and Open Space Easement (horizontal hatch) -area defined by parcel lines-"] appears to be incorrect, as the proposed easement areas would only be established for a portion of the overall areas within the lots, and therefore would not be defined by the parcel lines. This note should be revised or deleted. Response: Note revised. Calls have been added to delineate areas of LOD that are not included in easement.

INFO@ROUDABUSH.COM c) Please revise the horizontal hatching (intended to identify the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement areas) to ensure that there is no graphic depiction of any proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement areas shown in any locations where such an easement would not be established. For example, this horizontal hatching graphic convention is shown over the Rivanna River on Sheet 2 - but Note 17 on Sheet 1 specifies that the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement area corresponding to the "Open Space - Greenway Reservation" area does not include the Rivanna River. Please revise the hatching to depict only the actual easement areas. Response: Hatch has been revised to exclude area of river and LOD areas. d) Note 17 on Sheet 1 indicates that this plat proposes to establish 1.572 acres of new SWM Forest and Open Space Easement in areas corresponding to the Rivanna River. However, the VSMP Program Administrator has informed COD -Planning that the Rivanna River is not eligible for this type of easement. Please revise Note 17 to clarify that the approximately 1.5-acres of the Rivanna River on this property is being subtracted from the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement corresponding to the "Open Space - Greenway Reservation" area. Additionally, please also see review comments from COD -Engineering regarding the need to ensure accurately calculation of the acreage associated with the Rivanna River, and the acreage of the proposed SWM Forest and Open Space Easement. Response: Note revised. 2. [S.O. Sections 14-302.(A).l l and 14-303.(C)]: Please revise note 3 to reflect the following information: a) This note should reference an unrecorded "special lot plat," not "subdivision plat." b) Please add a reference to the application number for the unrecorded special lot plat (SUB201800186). Response: Since Special lot plat has not been approved or recorded, references to these parcels has been removed from the plat at the request of the Owner. Community Development Department - Engineerin2: 1. Sheet 1- a) Note #3 - There should be a previous recorded boundary. Please show previously recorded boundary. I'm not aware of another plat for this location under review. b) Note #17 -Update with easement area totals. 2. Sheet 2- a) Survey top of river bank to define boundary edge of the easements. Response: River bank has been surveyed. Note added to define bank as extents of easement. b) Exclude portion of river hatching. Use top of bank edge to define areas of open space. Response: Hatch has been revised. c) State SWM Forest and Open Space area total. Response: Total area added to note 17. d) Update area amounts for the open spaces. Response: Areas updated. e) The 100-yr floodplain boundary is not shown correctly. Response: 100-yr floodplain has been updated to reflect revised FEMA info.
