Re: SUB202000114 Whittington Phase A— Easement
Dear Mariah,
We received your comments regarding the project above dated July 29, 2020 and offer the following
responses:
1. [ 14-317] Instrument evidencing maintenance. Provide an instrument evidencing the maintenance of the
proposed easement areas. If maintenance is assigned to a party or entity other than the property owners —
such as an HOA — please be aware that confirmation will be needed from said party or entity to verify that
the continued maintenance of this easement is acceptable. These documents will need to be submitted for
review/approval by the County Attorney's Office once the plat is found to satisfy all other review
comments.
Response: Instrument is being drafted. Will forward as soon as it is received.
2. [14-302(B)(5)] Zoning. Revise Note 4 to address the "subject parcels" instead of the "project".
Response: Note has been updated.
3. [14-302(B)(10)] Stream buffer. Show and note that TMP 90G-01-79 contains a stream buffer (as
consistent with the recorded plat DB 4433 PG 540) and include the following note: "The stream buffer
shown hereon shall be managed in accordance with the Albemarle County Water Protection Ordinance."
Response: Note added.
4. [Comment] Existing structures. Show the location of the existing structure on TMP 90G-01-79. This
building appears to be located less than 30ft from the proposed easement.
Response: Existing structures have been added.
5. [14-303(E)] Dimensions. As noted by the Engineering reviewer, divide curve C3 into two separate
curves, using the monument between TMP 90G-01-78 and TMP 90G-01-79 as the division point.
Response: Note has been updated.
6. [14-302(A)] Vicinity map. On the Vicinity map, identify the site area and include a scale and north
arrow.
Response: Vicinity map updated.
7. [14-302(B)(1)] Resubmission. Reminder that revised plats must include the original date of drawing
and the revision date(s) of each subsequent version of the plat.
Response: Revision date added.

John Anderson, janderson2@albemarle.org— Requests Changes; see comments below
1. Revise vicinity map to clearly identify project location.
Response: Vicinity map updated.
2. Edit /delete F =30' scale (upper -right) since graphic scale on VI is smaller.
Response: Note removed.
3. Provide vicinity map scale, likely 1" = 2000'.
Response: Added.
4. Flood Hazard Note:
[County code] Sec. 30.3.2 - Flood insurance rate map andflood insurance study. `The flood hazard
overlay district shall be composed of all areas of the county within the special flood hazard areas
delineated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map for Albemarle County, Virginia and Incorporated Areas and
the Independent City of Charlottesville, most recently amended effective on and after May 16, 2016 (the
"Flood Insurance Rate Map"), and the Flood Insurance Study for Albemarle County and Incorporated
Areas and the Independent City of Charlottesville prepared by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency, most recently amended effective on and after May 16, 2016 (the "Flood Insurance Study"),
and includes all subsequent revisions and amendments to the Flood Insurance Rate Map and Flood
Insurance Study.
The Flood Insurance Rate Map and the Flood Insurance Study are incorporated herein by reference. The
Flood Insurance Rate Map, including all of the special flood hazard area zones designated thereon, is
hereby adopted as the zoning map of the flood hazard overlay district.'
Plats [plat notes] should be based on [or reference] the 2016 FIRM boundaries.
Response: Note has been updated.
5. Show existing structures (or partial structures) that should be visible in this view, at this scale.
Response: Structures shown.
6. Provide evidence of consenting ACSA approval for co -locating 2 F emergency access easement
with(in) existing ACSA easement (consent to overlap).
Response: Attached is the approval from ACSA.
7. C3, curve length=88.80', should be shown as 2 separate curves since a parcel boundary breaks this
curve. Line segments /curve lengths conventionally end at boundaries, and do not span a boundary. Please
provide two separate curves to replace C3 on parcels 78 and 79.
Response: A separate arc length was provided for each lot in addition to the total curve length
which is an acceptable standard. However, I have added a separate curve call on the table for each
segment as requested.
8. Provide Area (SF) of each 2 F Emergency Access Easement.
Response: This is not a requirement for easements per the code. I'm happy to add it if there is a
separate requirement that I am unaware of.
9. Deed bk.-pg. 4433-565 10' Access Esmt. not 10' Access sewer easement. Unless this existing 10'
Access Esmt. is a sewer access easement, revise label consistent with easement at bk.-pg. 4433-565.
[ Reviewer believes this 10' Access is a pedestrian trail access. ]
Response: Label has been updated.

10.21' Emergency Access Easement must be built to support Fire -Rescue apparatus. Given this, provide
temporary construction easement (in addition to access easement) needed to construct elements of
Emergency Access (whether grass -pavers or suitable equivalent). Note: this may affect ACSA consent
approval. Engineering anticipates temporary construction easements will need to extend beyond limits of
proposed 21' Emergency Access easement. Letters of entry (LOE), signed /notarized (by each owner)
may substitute for linework, and plat curve /line tables. Yet plat linework showing temporary construction
easements may be simpler, since each owner must sign the plat.
Response: Temporary construction easement has been added.
Thank you for taking the time to review this plat. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,
