RE: SUB 05 -289 — Montgomery Ridge, Phase 3, Preliminary Plat
Dear Sir:
Fax (434) 972 -4126
The Planning Commission granted approval of your request for the following at its November 22, 2005
meeting: Open Space Appropriateness and Critical Slopes Waiver with the following conditions.
1. [13.4.1] A conservation plan as specified in section 32.7.9 must be approved by the Zoning & Current
Development Division of the Department of Community Development. A copy of the original
conservation plan and all subsequent revisions shall be submitted to the Zoning & Current Development
Division.
2. [14 -317, 18 -4.7] Submittal of covenants or other such instrument which evidences the establishment of an
owner's association and provides for ownership and maintenance of proposed open space. Such document
shall be subject to County Attorney review and approval and shall be in accordance with Section 14 -317 of
the Subdivision Ordinance - Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements.
The preliminary plat is valid for five (5) years from the date it is approved pursuant to Section 14 -228 of
Chapter 14 of the Albemarle County Code, provided that the subdivider submits a final plat for all or a portion
of the property within one (1) year (December 21, 2006) of the approval as provided in section 14 -221, and
thereafter diligently pursues approval of the final plat. After three (3) years (December 21, 2008) following
preliminary plat approval, the agent may, after ninety (90) days' written notice provided by certified mail to the
subdivider, revoke the approval upon a specific finding of facts that the subdivider failed to diligently pursue
approval of the final plat. The failure to officially submit a final plat as provided in section 14 -221 within the
one (1) year period shall render the approval of the preliminary plat null and a new application must be filed and
processed.
Please address all of the requirements and conditions listed below and submit eight (8) tentative plat copies to
the Department of Community Development. This letter must be submitted with the tentative plats, as a
checklist, to document that you have addressed all requirements or conditions, or the tentative plat will be
denied.
Erosion and Sediment Control, BMP Stormwater Management, and road plans with the associated applications
and fees must also be submitted with the eight (8) tentative Plats.
Once the tentative plat is submitted and reviewed you will receive comments from all
departments /divisions /agencies that have made comment on the tentative plat. Any further responses
must be made directly to each department /division/agency that has further comment. After all
aforementioned departments /divisions /agencies have granted a tentative approval, you must verify with
the Planner that you may submit the final plat mylar or other media original and any remaining fees to
the Department of Community Development. Assuming that the final plat reflects all tentative approvals,
signing of the plat will occur within four days.
The final plat will be subject to all final plat requirements (Subdivision Ordinance Section 14.206), in addition
to the following conditions.
The Department of Community Development shall not accept submittal of the final plat for signature until
tentative approvals for the following conditions have been obtained. The final plat shall not be signed until the
following conditions are met:
