Memorandum
To: William White (Roudabush, Gale & Associates, Inc.)
From: Paty Saternye- Senior Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: June 3, 2020
Subject: SUB-2020-66 TMP 31-26E1 & 31-26F Boundary Line Adjustment
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the Final Plat
referenced above once the following comments have been addressed: [Each comment is
preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless
otherwise specified.]
1. [14-302 (A)(3)] Existing or platted streets. For Earlysville Road show the edge of the
prescriptive easement that is within the property.
2. [14-302 (A)(4&6) & 14-303 (E)] Private Easements; Alleys and shared driveways;
Dimension standards and information on all lots, streets, alleys, easements, and shared
driveways. If there is an existing shared driveway easement across TMP 31-26F to TMP
31-26E1 please show it on the plat and provide a label with the deed book and page
number for the recorded easement.
3. [14-302 (A)(5) & 14-303(L)] Public Easements; Public utility, drainage and sight distance
easements. Show all existing public easements and provide labels for the owner and the
deed book and page number of the deed and easement. If a specific location for the
easement is defined then include the information in a note on the coversheet, with the
owner and the deed book and page number.
4. [14-302 (A)(10)] Right of further division of proposed lots. Although the two parcels
existed at the time the Code creating Development Rights (DR) was enacted, almost in
their current configuration, and although parcels can have as many as 5 DR, these
parcels do not have sufficient acreage to each have 5 DR. Even with a DR, the minimum
lot size for any parcel is 2 acres. Neither of these parcels can be subdivided into
additional parcels. Revise the development rights note to state: "Parcel TMP 31-26F has
1 development right and may not be further divided. The residue of parcel TMP 31-26E1
is retaining 1 development right and may not be further divided."
5. [14-302 (13)(2)] Name of plat preparer. Please clarify why there is a note on the cover
sheet that states "Plat prepared by: William W. White" but the seal on the plat is for
Nicholas M. Hutchinson.
[14-302 (13)(8), 18-4.6.1(c) & 18-2.1.4] Yards; Frontage and lot width requirements;
Reduction of lots below minimum prohibited. Although the setbacks are correctly stated
on the coversheet, the proposed lot would not meet those requirements. It would also
not provide the required minimum lot width for the parcel. Address the following:
a) Revise the proposed property lines so that the required side setback, to the existing
building, will be maintained. The lot lines cannot be revised in a way that reduces the
distance from the existing residence to the side property line to below the required
side setback.
b) Revise the proposed property lines so that they meet the minimum lot width
requirements. The "Minimum lot width shall be at least the same distance as the
frontage required for the district in which such lot is located." So, from the front
property line and back revise the proposed property line to maintain the 250'
minimum lot width.
7. [14-309 & 14-310] Soils evaluation; Health Director Approval. Show the location of the
existing drainfields (primary and reserve) serving the existing structure. It must be shown
that the drainfields are not located in the portion of the property that is being transferred
to the adjoining lot.
