SUB202000043 Brookhill Block 813 -Two-Lot Division and Easement Plat
Dear Cameron,
We received your comments regarding the project above dated April 7, 2020 and offer the following
responses:
1. [General Comment] Due to the number of plats and deeds that are being recorded with the
Albemarle County Clerk's office, it is difficult to track what plats and deeds apply to each parcel. Please
provide a note for each parcel that lists all recorded instruments (plats, deeds, etc.) for TMPs 46-18, 46-
18A, 46-19AI, 46- 19A2, and 46-19133.
a. Please be aware that there are currently two other Brookhill plats under review, SUB201900123,
SUB202000035, SUB202000038, SUB202000039. This plat will need to be updated prior to approval to
incorporate updated instrument references, acreages, etc. assuming that any of those plats are approved
and recorded first.
b. Please update the Brookhill Deeds and Plats of Record so it states recorded instruments of
SUB201900138.
Response: As per previous plat comments, deed showing acquisition and latest instrument creating
properties have been shown in the statement of title. I will keep a running list for future reference
if needed.
2. [14-302 (A)(1)] Please revise the plat title so that it clearly states that this is a division creating a
new open space lot for Block 8A and is proposing new easements on TMPs 46-18 and 46-18A.
Response: Title has been updated.
3. [14-302 (A)(3)] Please update the Salamander Street and Archer Avenue ROW labels on Sheet
V2-V8. The DB number is incorrect, it should be DB 5274, page 376.
Response: Labels have been updated.
4. [ 14-302 (A)(4)] Please list the recorded instrument number for deed of dedication for the Polo
Grounds Road 30' buffer in the easement label on all applicable Sheets. This DOD was recorded in DB
5121, pg. 689.
Response: Label has been updated on all sheets.
5. [ 14-302 (A)(15)] Per Note 13 on Sheet V 1, HOA covenants have been recorded in DB 5259, page
669. However, County staff had not reviewed/approved this master declaration of HOA covenants. Staff
have previously informed the developer that an overall set of HOA covenants needs to be reviewed and
approved by the County that complies with all requirements in the County Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinances, the ZNIA201500007 Code of Development (COD), and the proffers ofZMA201800011.
a. The covenants must address ownership and maintenance of private greenspace and amenity areas
(Section 2.4 of the COD), architectural standards (Section 3 of the COD), landscaping standards
(Section 3.2 of the COD), and streetscape treatments (Section 3.3 of the COD).

b. Covenants must address ownership and maintenance of features within private easements.
C. Covenants must address ownership and maintenance of private recreational areas and facilities.
d. Please provide section numbers from the recorded covenants that cover these specific items. If the
recorded covenants do not address any of the items specified in these comments, they may need
to be revised or an addendum added.
Response: The private greenspace and amenity areas and the streetscape treatments will likely be
addressed in the separate HOA Covenants that will be drafted for this parcel. I am following up
with the owner on that now. The HOA Declaration that is recorded in DB 5259, page 669 is the
Master Association document and assumes that there will be separate HOA Declarations for each
neighborhood.
The architectural standards are the Development Guidelines that may be adopted by the ARB
pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Master Declaration.
Landscaping maintenance is included in Section 7.2.
Features within private easements will be owned by the Declarant, Brookhill Town Center, LLC
and then the Association, Brookhill Master Association. Private recreational areas and facilities
within Block 8B will likely be owned by the sub -Association created by Stanley Martin.
6. [14-302 (A)(16)] Please show the limits of the State Dam Break Inundation Zone on all sheets
were applicable and state the source used to determine the limits of the DBIZ.
Response: DBIZ added.
7. [ 14-302 (A)(11) and 14-302 (B)(6)] Please be aware that SUB201900123 is creating the manor
house lot, which is currently a portion of the parcel known as TMP 46-18. SUB202000038 is a boundary
line adjustment plat (BLA) that is adjusting acreage from TMP 46-18 to TMP 46-18A. Please provide
evidence (DB/PG) if those plats have been recorded.
a. Please be aware that the Albemarle County Real Estate office may assign new TMP numbers for
the manor house lot (SUB201900123) and the residue of TMP 46-18 once the plat is recorded. The new
TMPs may need to updated on this plat prior to approval.
b. Assuming both SUB201900123 and SUB202000038 are approved and recorded prior to approval
of this plat, all sheets should be revised to show the new property lines, acreages, parcel numbers, and
recorded instrument DB and page numbers in labels across all applicable sheets.
Response: Plats have been recorded and labels have been updated. New TMP numbers have also
been updated.
8. [ 14-302 (B)(1)] Please add a date of last revision to each sheet.
Response: Revision date added.
9. [ 14-302 (B)(S)] Please revise note 6 on Sheet VI so that it states which overlay districts apply
specifically to the residue of TMP 46-18 ("Parcel A"), 46-18A, and the new open space parcel. Staff asks
the applicant to verify this information, but according to Albemarle County GIS, each parcel will contain
the following:
a. Portions of the new open space parcel will be in the Managed and Preserved Steep Slopes, and it
will be in the EC Entrance Corridor and AIA Airport Impact Area Overlay Districts.
b. Portions of the residue of TMP 46-18 appear to contain Managed Steep Slopes, and are in the EC
Entrance Corridor and AIA Airport Impact Area Overlay districts.
C. Portions of TMP 46-18A appears to be in both the Managed and Preserved Steep Slopes, FH
Flood Hazard Overlay, EC Entrance Corridor, and AIA Airport Impact Area Overlay Districts.
Response: Notes have been revised. Note, per GIS none of these parcels are in the Entrance
Corridor anymore.

10. [14-302 (B)(8)] Remove the building heights note on Sheet V1.
Response: Note removed.
11. [14-303 (A)] The Statement of Consent to Division for TMPs 46-18 and 46-18A should clearly
state the types of new easements proposed. Please make it clear that TMP 46-18A is not being
subdivided, just new easements platted.
Response: Statements have been updated.
12. [14-303 (D)] Per the label on Sheet V2, Parcel X is 0.145 acres that are being dedicated to public
use. However, the Area Summary on Sheet VI states that 0.150 acres is being dedicated. Per plat recorded
in DB 5121, pages 644-676, 0.150 acres was reserved for dedication to public use. Please verify the
acreage being dedicated, and either revise the Area Summary or the labels as necessary.
Response: 0.145 acres is correct. Area table on sheet VI has been updated. The area has changed
from the original 0.150 ac. reservation because of the BLA at DB 5349 PG 402.
13. [General Comment] New easements that will be public will require deeds for review and
approval. See Engineering comments for more information and deed of easement templates.
Response: I have passed on to the attorney for drafting.
Engineering Comments
1. Public storm drain easements and SWM facility easements need associated deeds.
Response: I have passed on to the attorney for drafting.
2. [Sheet V2] Note states that SWM facility easement will be vacated upon relocation. Please note
that this will need another plat to officially vacate the easement once the facility is moved.
Response: Noted.
3. [Cover sheet] Note 4 states that there is a flood hazard zone shown on parcel 46-18A on Sheet
V2, however, it is not evident on Sheet V2. Please clarify.
Response: Note 4 has been updated.
Thank you for taking the time to review this plat. Please let me know if you have any questions.
