RE: SUB-2020-66 TMP 31-26E1 & 31-26F — Boundary Line Adjustment
Ms. Saternye,
The plat has been revised to address your comments received on June 3, 2020 in accordance with the
following:
1. [14-302 (A)(3)] Existing or platted streets. For Earlysville Road show the edge of the
prescriptive easement that is within the property.
RESPONSE — Updated plat to show prescriptive easement
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
31-26E 1 please show it on the plat and provide a label with the deed book and page
number for the recorded easement.
RESPONSE — No known easement exists
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.
RESPONSE — All know easements shown
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 I
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."
RESPONSE — Updated note #9
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(A)(10)]
RESPONSE — Plat was prepared by William W White, the plat will be certified by
Nicholas M Hutchinson
6. [14-302 (B)(8)9 18-4.6.1(c) & 18-2.1.41 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.
RESPONSE — Updated property line to allow 25 feet setback separation
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.
RESPONSE — Proposed property lines based on drainfield location. Can the
county wave the lot width requirement in this case or can we create an
easement to allow the drainfield to encroach over the property line?
7. [14-309 & 14-3101 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.
RESPONSE — Updated plat to show drainfields
Thank you for taking the time to review this plat and trust the above adequately addresses your
comments. However, please let me know if you have any questions or require additional
information.
Thank you,
William White
