RE: SP201900002 Pleasant Green
Dear Mr. Collins,
The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on July 14, 2020 recommended approval by a vote of 7:0, for
the reasons stated in the staff report with the following conditions.
Conditions:
1. The culverts under the proposed Connector Road extension over Powell's Creek must be in general accord with
the attached Concept Plan titled "Pleasant Green Subdivision Special Use Permit Plan" (the "Plan") prepared by
Collins Engineering with a revision date of March 2, 2020. To be in general accord with the plan, development
must reflect the general size, arrangement, and location of the culverts, as well as maintaining no increase of the
100 year flood elevation outside of the Pleasant Green property. Modifications to the plan, which do not conflict
with the elements above may be approved subject to the review and approval of the County Engineer.
2. Prior to final road plan approval or permitting of a land disturbance in the floodplain, the applicant must obtain
from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) a conditional letter of map revision (CLOMR, or
CLOMA), and prior to road acceptance the applicant must obtain from FEMA a letter of map revision (LOMR or
LOMA). In addition, the applicant must copy the County Engineer on all correspondence with FEMA. Construction
and installation of the culverts must be in compliance with approved road plans and FEMA approved CLOMR or
CLOMA.
3. Any residential lots and associated streets resulting from the subdivision of the property, v%fith the exception of the
stream crossing and roadway identified on the attached plan as Connector Road, must be located outside of the
100 foot stream buffer, Flood Hazard Overlay and preserved slopes on the property. Lots may be permitted to be
located within the landward 10 feet of the 100 foot stream buffer only if the lots are adjacent to approved
stormwater management facilities located within the landward 50 feet of the stream buffer. Approval of lots
located within the stream buffer must be subject Subdivision Agent approval.
4. The net density of the property must not exceed 6 units per acre, in accordance v%fith the Crozet Master Plan. Net
density must be calculated by subtracting the area within the Flood Hazard Overlay District, the 100-foot stream
buffer, and areas of preserved slopes from the total acreage of the property subject to the special use permit.
5. Prior to issuance of a grading permit to allow installation of the stream crossing or with submittal of the final
subdivision plat, whichever comes first, the applicant must submit an easement plat dedicating to the county the
area identified for a greenway trail on the attached plan.
6. If the construction of the stream crossing for which this Special Use Permit is issued is not commenced by [insert
date 5 years after the date the County Board approval of the Special Use Permit], the permit will be deemed
abandoned and the authority granted there under will thereupon terminate.
Prior to approval of the first final Virginia Stormwater Management Program (VSMP) plans or the first final
subdivision plat, whichever comes first, the applicant shall conduct a Phase I I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
in accordance with ASTM standards. The Phase I I ESA shall include sampling and testing of accumulated sediment
behind the dam that exists on the Property. The applicant shall be required to comply with all recommendations of
the Phase 11 ESA prior to issuance of the first building permit on the Property. The applicant shall also be required to
remove accumulated sediment from behind the dam prior to demolition of the dam and dispose of the sediment,
either on site or off site, in accordance with the Phase 11 ESA recommendations.
If you should have any questions or comments regarding the above noted action, please do not hesitate to contact me at
