porches, balconies, chimneys, eaves and the like architectural features may project not
more than four feet into any required yard provided that no such feature shall be located
closer than six feet from any lot line.
c) Revised the "side setbacks" shown on the proposed residential lots. The side setback is
"0" and not 5' as shown on the site plan/subdivision plat. Side setbacks should be
represented as zero. However, building separation labels, as shown in a few places,
should be added between each set of townhomes in order to specify that requirement.
Please note, building separation and building setbacks are not the same requirements and
should not be treated as such.
Final: Comment not vet fully addressed. Although notes have been added about the
building separation the following must be addressed. Corner lots appear to be treated as
having two sides. Corner lots have two fronts (4.6.2), not two sides. The following lots are
corner lots: 23, 24, 43 & 47. Address the following on those lots:
i. Add labels for the front minimum and maximum setbacks on the second front.
Revised the setbacks so that the corner lots show both the minimum and maximum
setback on the other front.

Engineering has reviewed the final plat and offers the following comments.
V2
1. Unclear how this plat may be approved without simultaneously extinguishing (graphically) boundary lines
of existing parcels held by Berkmar Development, LLC (TMP 45-85, 45-84A, 45-112171, 45-112F2). Note,
for example, Open Space D and A cross Ex. boundaries, which may introduce uncertainty concerning
assignment to residue parcel/s once development is subdivided. Engineering defers to Planning.
2. In addition to IF@104.33' label, provide bearing and distance labels for 104.33' boundary line segment.
3. Provide 481.60'(T) label for line segments bearing N70'26'0I"W.
V3
4. It seems unusual that fenced cemeteries might count as `open space.' Engineering defers to Planning.
5. Please use a different arc endpoint symbol to distinguish from line segment endpoints. For example,
164.02' segment traverses lots 37-41 with 0.34' and 12.60' lengths extending across portions of adjacent
lots, while at the other end of this row of lots (N end Swede Street), C6 may or may not define boundaries
of Lots 31 to 34. Avoid a single symbol that in one instance may indicate a line endpoint, while in another,
an arc endpoint. Different symbols may help a great deal. Additional comments, V4-V6, are possible.
V4
6. Recommend parenthetical (T) distance for arcs spanning multiple lot boundaries: C14, 16, 19, 25 (V5), for
example.
7. Provide bearings for Emergency Access Parcel segments measuring 60.53' and 64.93'.
8. V5: Provide inset detail for 0.34' tie, Lot 36.
V7
9. Provide deed bk.-pg. reference to recorded third -party Retaining Wall Maintenance Agreements, unless
Agreements are to be recorded with this final plat. Engineering defers to Planning, but needs to confirm
that Agreements for walls crossing parcel boundaries are recorded. Wall easements are not dedicated to
public use. Albemarle is not party to retaining wall maintenance agreements.
10. Recommend revise New Public Utility Easement labels which appear to apply to both ACSA sanitary and
waterline easements with conventional labels reading ACSA Sanitary Easement, and ACSA Waterline
easement. Distinct ACSA labels are informative to agencies and property owners relative to lots,
boundaries, type of utility, and location of utility types, relative to one another. Engineering defers to

Planning /ACSA, but finds proposed new public utility easement labels to be generic, non -descriptive, and
for this reason, of minimal use.
11. Revise /relocate 54.41' tie at E end of wall and maintenance easement crossing Lots 24-28 such that tie is
between a property or parcel boundary and a corner of the wall easement (one end or other of 18.00' line
segment), similar to 45.50' tie provided for wall easement crossing Lots 22 and 23.
12. If wall and maintenance easement crosses any portion of Lot 28, provide inset detail for that portion of the
wall easement that lies on Lot 28.
13. Provide landscape easement endpoints for 36.18' and 39.98' segments crossing lots 15 -17.
14. Provide inset detail for portion of new variable width landscape maintenance easement that lies on Lot 15.
15. Provide endpoints for new public utility easement line segments on Lot 47.
16. Check variable width sight distance easement in Open Space B, which has a line break south of Lot 31. It
is unclear why a sight distance easement would break.
17. Revise 22.45' tie (new public utility easements), Marsac cul-de-sac, to tie to lot, open space, or emergency
access parcel boundaries, not to one another.
V8
18. Copy V7 SWM easement line and curve labels to V8 such that sheet V8 defines the SWM easement with
certainty. Engineering understands the intent is not to overwhelm any single sheet of the plat with too
much data, but believes that will not be the case with the SWM easement.
19. Provide SWM easement endpoints between 88.49' and 85.96' line segments, west edge of easement.
20. New 10' private drainage easements (multiple): Provide line segment endpoints, all easements.
21. Ensure plat defines /labels SWM facility access easement. If access is included in SWM easement on V8,
please confirm.
22. Label unlabeled private drainage easements —`Typ' label appears slightly inadequate.
23. Provide Note on V7 and V8 that reads: `Reference bearing - distance information on sheets V4, V5, V6.'
Please feel free to call if any questions: 434.296-5832 -0069.
Thank you
