a. Are proposed roads intended to be public or private? Note 6 on the Cover Sheet indicates these roads will be
private but road labels on this plat and other materials, including the site plan (SDP202000013) and road plans,
allude to these roads being public. Please clarify. (Note: Per 14-412(F), any street that is not constructed to
meet the to meet the standards necessary for inclusion in the system of state highways shall be privately
maintained and shall not be eligible for acceptance into the system of state highways unless improved to current
Virginia Department of Transportation standards with funds other than those appropriated by the General
Assembly and allocated by the Commonwealth Transportation Board.)
i. If public, remove Note 6 and include a note that instead dedicates the roads for public use.
ii. If private, label the roadways as "private" on all sheets, a private street request will need to be
submitted, reviewed, and approved (see 14-306, 14-234, 14-410, and 14-412 for more information),

c. Please be aware the Open Space acreage provided here does not align with the acreage provided by the site plan
for this development (SDP202000013).
The acreages and square footages for all open space lots have been double checked. The
discrepancy may be a rounding issue.
4. [14-302(A)(5)] Trail easements. Per the preliminary plat and initial site plan approval for this development, provide apublic
easement along the proposed trail so residents of adjacent neighborhoods can access the proposed greenway system that was
proffered by ZMA201600005.

6. [14-302(A)(13), 14-302(A)(4-5)] Utility easements.

easements.

100ft buffer distance. Revise the buffer location such that at least 100ft buffer is provided along the entire
length of the stream shown on all sheets.
The plat has been updated with stream and buffer linework from county GIS.

managed in accordance with the Albemarle County Water Protection Ordinance."

a. If this is a cluster development, include that information as part of the zoning district.
Zoning information has been updated in new note 5.
b. Revise the Overlay District information to only list Steep Slopes (Managed), since that is the only Overlay
District that is regulated by the County, per § 18-30. Move the remainder of the information that is currently

5. Indigo Road Cul-De-Sac should have a slight crown in the center to direct water to the
gutter.
6. Ponding of water may occur @ sta. 15-85 on Indigo Road parking space. Spot elevations
should be shown in areas of potential ponding.
