Fax 434-972-4126
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the road plans
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.]
1. All planning comments are for the Creekside V Phase I & 11 Road Plan application only.
Subdivision review is under a separate project number (SUB2020-118). See subdivision
review comments for all revisions to subdivision specific topics such as lot size, setbacks,
density, open space.
2. Submit the special exception requests for exception for coordination of streets. Road plans
cannot be approved until a special exception request for coordination of streets, Section 14-
409 (A), has been acted on by the Planning Commission. If the request is denied by the
Commission, Phase 11 of Creekside V may need to be redesigned, which includes the road
layout.
3. Submit a request for dedication of the Open Space to the County. Road plans cannot be
approved until the Board of Supervisors accepts the proposed open space parcels. The open
space parcels will be reviewed with the SUB202000118 final plat.
4. Revise the sidewalk to be within the Right of Way (ROW).
5. Revise the planting strip to be fully within the ROW.
6. Revise the Birmingham Court cul-de-sac radius as specified by VDOT and Engineering.
7. Revise the street sections to address the last three comments.
8. After revising the ROW as specified above label and clearly delineate the proposed right of
way lines and improvements for Jackson Hill Lane and Birmingham Court.
9. Ensure that the Birmingham Drive (existing ROW) width labels and those shown in the final
subdivision plat are consistent. The road plan and supplemental pages show a 40' RW but the
plat shows a variable width ROW.
10. Ensure all existing easements have deed book and page number provided (ex. waterline
easement within TMP 55-78C).
11. Please be aware that the proposed trails within the proposed open space parcels in Old Trail
Creekside V Phases I & II and in the existing phases of Old Trail Creekside will be bonded as
part of these road plans.
12. All temporary construction easements for offsite improvements for the roads and trails, since
they will be bonded with the road, must be provided prior to road plan approval. The previously
platted open space parcels that include proposed trail improvements include TMP 55E-04-C,
TMP 55E-04-C1, TMP 55E-04-D, TMP 55E-04-E, TMP 55E-04-F, & TMP 55E-04-G.
13. A deed of dedication to County for the public roads must be submitted, reviews, and approved
before the approval of the final subdivision plat. It must also be recorded with the subdivision
plat.
14. An instrument assuring the perpetual maintenance of all trees by the HOA must be submitted,
reviewed and approved prior to final subdivision plat approval. It must also be recorded with
the plat.
15. Please provide documentation on which HOA will take ownership and maintain the
sidewalk/landscaping improvements and maintenance along the existing portion of Jackson
Hill Lane. Any documentation from the Old Trail Community Association is required prior to
road plan approval.
16. Specify which HOA is to maintain the improvements within the Creekside open space parcels.
This must be determined prior to the road plan approval. The maintenance documents must
be submitted for review, be approved, and be signed and notarized prior to the road plan
approval.
17. Show on the road plan sheets, the deed book and page number for any existing temporary
construction easements for the construction of the trails in the Creekside open spaces or show
proposed easements for the construction.
18. Any required deeds of easement, except where specifically mentioned in other comments,
must be submitted for review, approved, and signed and notarized before the final plat is
approved. These deeds and legal documents must be recorded with the plat and proof of
recordation provide to the County for their records.
19. [32.7.9.7 (a)(4)] Double frontage residential lots shall be screened between the rear of the
residences and the public right of way. The road plan shows a 20' wide landscaping easement
at the rear of lots 1-3 of Phase I, between the existing sight distance easement and the rear
building setback. However, the road plan must identify the type of vegetation to be provided in
accordance with the minimum species and sizing requirements of 32.7.9.7 (c), and the
minimum spacing requirements of 32.7.9.7 (d).
a) Please provide a table identifying the species of trees and shrubs to be planted in the
landscaping easement. The table should state the quantities of each landscaping item, the
spacing, and the minimum calipers/height at time of installation.
b) An enlarged detail of the landscaping easement should be provided that shows the
locations of each tree and shrub, with labels identifying the species and quantity within the
easement.
c) [13-317] Please identify who will own and maintain the private landscaping easement. A
maintenance agreement will need to be provided that contains, at a minimum, all of the
information specified in section 14-317 (a). This can be integrated into the HOA
agreement or a separate document. The maintenance agreement will need to be reviewed
and approved by the County Attorney and recorded with the final plat once they both are
approved.
20. See engineering comments on requiring the easements for storm structures and pipes outside
of ROW.
21. Ensure all easements match (ex. the existing sidewalk along Birmingham Court on sheet 2 is
shown in a 10' sidewalk easement and on sheet 3 is shown in a 5' sidewalk easement).
22. Include all required dimensions. Address the following:
a) The dimensions for the curved portion of the Birmingham Court are not provided.
b) Show lot frontage for each proposed lot on Birmingham Court. They are shown on
Jackson Hill Lane, but are not shown on Birmingham Court.
FA
23. Show all easements for proposed utilities outside of ROW. Address the following in reference
to sanitary sewer easements:
a) The plat shows an existing private sanitary sewer easement through Open Space L.
However, no label is provided for this easement on the Layout Plan sheet of the road plan
and neither a label nor easement is shown in the Existing Conditions sheet. Add these
labels and this easement to the road plan.
b) The road plan shows an easement between the existing lots 44 and 45, in Creekside
Phase III, differently than in the subdivision plat. The road plan shows the existing
easement ending before it reaches TMP 55-78C, while the plat appears to show the
easement extending to that parcel line. Ensure both documents are correct, and that any
additional easements required are show as proposed in the final plat and road plan.
24. The conservation plan must be signed by the owner of the parcels prior to road plan approval.
