1. Provide bearing and distance for boundary line segment between IPF and IRS (at Thomas Jefferson
Parkway, SR 53) on TMP 93A-2413 and 93-24 shared property line.
2. After review of plat, county GIS topographic elevation data, and discussion with Planning, requirements
listed at 14-412 Standards for private streets only A4. Streets serving family subdivisions apply.
a. Please include the following wording on the plat: "The existing and /or proposed right-of-way is
of adequate width and horizontal and vertical alignment to accommodate a travelway passable by
ordinary passenger vehicles in all but temporary extreme weather conditions, together with area
adequate for maintenance of the travelway, as required by section 14-412 of the Albemarle County
Code." [ 14-412.A.4]
b. Provide easement or right-of-way width that is ten (10) feet minimum. [ 14-412.A.4]
3. Once plat is revised to provide a new private street through the "Residue" parcel (2-Apr 2020 Planning
comment), pledge to install a new storm pipe to convey runoff (at a point approx. 525' from Peter Jefferson
Parkway /SR53) beneath the future street. County GIS elevations indicate a drainage that requires a pipe.
This pipe needs to be sized to carry the 25-yr storm event without overtopping the travel surface. An
engineer may need to assist pipe design. [ 14-410.F.]
Also: see 50' ingress and egress easement recorded at DB 2781-326, 330 Plat. Also, Planning Division
comments. Also, images, below. [Albemarle County Code, Sec. 14-412.A.4 ]
4. Streets serving family subdivisions. Each private street authorized to serve a
family subdivision under section 14-232(B)(1) shall satisfy the following: (i) easement or right-of-way
widths shall be ten (10) feet minimum; and (ii) the surveyor shall include the following wording on the
plat: "The existing and/or proposed right-of-way is of adequate width and horizontal and vertical alignment
to accommodate a travelway passable by ordinary passenger vehicles in all but temporary extreme weather
conditions, together with area adequate for maintenance of the travelway, as required by section 14-412 of
the Albemarle County Code."

Sec. 14-4101
F. Principal means of access to subdivision. The principal means of access to a subdivision
shall be either a public street or a private street. The principal means of access shall conform, in the case of
a public street, to Virginia Department of Transportation standards, or, in the case of a private street, to the
standards of the county as set forth in section 14-412, throughout the street's length, including any distance
between the boundary of the subdivision and any existing public street. If discharge water of a twenty-five
(25) year storm could be reasonably anticipated to inundate, block, destroy or otherwise obstruct a principal
means of access to a residential subdivision, the following shall also apply:
1. The principal means of access shall be designed and constructed so as to provide
unobstructed access at the time of flooding; and/or
2. An alternative means of access which is not subject to inundation, blockage,
destruction or obstruction, and which is accessible from each lot within the subdivision shall be
constructed.
