Jordan, L.S. Commonwealth Land Surveying, LLC (dave(a vacls.com) From: Andrew Reitelbach, Senior Planner Division: Planning Date: August 7, 2020 Subject: SUB2020-00074 TMPs 10-51) and 19-1B — BLA; Second Review Fax 434-972-4126 The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the plat referenced above once the following comments have been addressed: [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.] [14-302(A)3; 14-302(A)4; 14-303(E)] Provide the name for the 30' private access easement that accesses TMP 10-51). It appears to be called Estes Ridge Way. In addition, revise the label for this easement to "30' private street easement," instead of access easement, as it was approved as a private street for the 1994 family subdivision. Identify the Estes Lane easement as a "30' private right-of-way." In addition, clearly identify the limits of this right-of-way. There are several lines (setbacks, easements, property) in this location on the plat, and it is not clear which labels go with which lines. Comments addressed. 2. [14-302(A)9] Provide a note on the plat indicating whether the two lots involved in this boundary line adjustment each has a building site that complies with the requirements of section 18-4.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. With the property as shown, it does not appear that TMP 10-5D has a building site that complies with 4.2.1 of the zoning ordinance. Demonstrate that TMP 10-5D has a building site that complies with section 4.2.1, including a rectangular area of at least 30,000 square feet that is unencumbered by elements such as critical slopes or WPO buffers. [14-302(A)10] Provide a note on the plat indicating the right of further division of the two parcels included in this boundary line adjustment, including the number of development rights that exist for each parcel. Possible language for this note, filling in the appropriate information: "Revised Parcel [TMP number] is assigned [number] of development rights and may/may not be further divided and when further divided these rights shall not comprise more than [number] acres. The residue of Tax Map/Parcel [number] is retaining [number] development rights and when further divided it shall not consist of more than [number] acres." The note as currently written on the plat is incorrect. Each parcel that is zoned RA Rural Areas and is under 21 acres must have at least one (1) development right. Revise the note to indicate the correct number of development rights each parcel is assigned. Looking at previously recorded plats for this property, it appears that each of these two parcels has been assigned one (1) development right. 4. [14-302(A)15] There appear to be additional owners of these two parcels, other than those listed, including Hollis G. Collier and Lisa C. Hamm. Include these owners' names in the Owner Information section of the plat cover sheet; also provide signature lines for these owners under the Owners Approval statement. Comment addressed. 5. [14-302(B)1] Provide the date of the last revision when the plat is re -submitted This comment still applies to the next submittal. 6. [14-302(B)5] Provide the zoning classification on the plat for each of the parcels involved in this boundary line adjustment. Comment addressed. 7. [14-302(B)7] Provide a note on the plat indicating that these properties are located within a Water Supply Watershed. It appears that they both lie within the Beaverdam Creek Water Supply Watershed. Provide a note on the plat indicating whether these properties are located within an agricultural - forestal district. Comments addressed. 8. [14-302(B)10] There is a Water Protection Ordinance (WPO) stream buffer located on the subject parcels. Depict the location of this stream buffer on sheet 2 of the plat. Also, provide the following note on the plat: "The stream buffer shown hereon shall be managed in accordance with the Albemarle County Water Protection Ordinance." Comment addressed. 9. [14-303(A)] The "statement of consent to division" needs to be placed above the signature lines of the property owners, not the signature line for the County Agent. Revise the signature panel, Comment addressed. 10. [14-303(0)] Provide signatures lines, under the "statement of consent to division," for all owners of the two parcels involved in this boundary line adjustment. Comment addressed. 11. [14-309, 14-310, 14-4161 Provide information, including soils evaluations, for review by the Health Department for both of these parcels. Both of these lots are proposed to be less than five acres in size, so the plat cannot be approved until the Health Director has approved a soils evaluation report demonstrating that the properties have adequate soils for subsurface drainfields and reserve drainfields for septic systems and private wells. Submit three copies of a soils evaluation report for these parcels to the County so that these can be forwarded to the Virginia Department of Health for review and approval. This proposed BLA is still under review by the Health Dept. Comments or approval will be forwarded to applicant upon receipt by County Planning staff. 12. [14-312] Depict on the plat the locations of existing buildings on these parcels. There are several structures on these parcels that appear to be close to the proposed new property lines and close to the access easement lines. Comment addressed. 13. [18-10.4] Revise the depicted setback lines on the revised TMP 10-513. The front setback line of 25'should be along the property line on the north by the 30' private street easement that was created with the family division in 1994. This parcel takes its frontage from this 30' private street. The rear property line, along the 30' Estes Lane private right-of-way, should have a 35' setback line. In addition, because Estes Lane is not an approved private street, the setback lines should be measured from the property lines, not the access easement lines. Comment addressed.
