1. [S.O. Sections 14-302.(A).4 and 14-302.(A).141: 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. Rev 1. Comment no loner relevant. The special lot plat is not vet approved or recorded,
the applicant prefers to keep these two plats separate.
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. Rev 1. Comment addressed. It appears the proposed lots
are beinu handled on the special lot plat and are not referenced on this plat as it has not been approved vet.
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.
Rev 1. Comment addressed.
c. Please revise the horizontal hatching (intended to identify the proposed SWM Forest andOpen 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.
Rev 1. Comment addressed.
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. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
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
CDD-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. Rev 1.
Comment addressed.
Additionally, please also see review comments from CDD-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.
2. [S.O. Sections 14-302.(A).11 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." Rev 1. Comment no longer
relevant. The special lot plat is not vet approved or recorded, the applicant prefers to keep these two plats
separate.
b. Please add a reference to the application number for the unrecorded special lot plat (SUB201800186). Rev 1.
Comment no longer relevant. The special lot plat is not vet approved or recorded, the applicant prefers to
keep these two plats separate.
3. [14-302(A)5, 14-3111 Public Easements. The drainage easement being dedicated to public use shall be labeled as follows:
"20 feet wide public drainage easement hereby dedicated to the County of Albemarle forpublic use. "
4. [14-433, 14-303L, 14-317, 14-431, 14-428, 14-434, 14-435, 14-435.11 The required deed of dedication and easement
associated with the public drainage easements shall be approved by the County Attorney prior to final plat approval. Please
submit an unsigned draft of the documents to staff and we will distribute it to the County Attorney's office for
review/approval.

"Overlook has reached out to ACSA with concerns in regards to having a temporary sewer bypass setup on their property. After
review of the deed of easement for this area of sewer we have determined Vistas and Overlook will need to negotiate a temporary
construction easement to allow the pump on Overlook's site. " Rev 1. ACSA Responded "To my knowledge this has been
resolved. The engineer is planning to handle sewer bypass on their property."
