Dear Cameron,
We received your comments regarding the project above dated September 22, 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, 46-19A1, 46- 19A2, and 46-19133. Rev. 1: Plat only needs to state recorded instruments
numbers for the following TWs: 46-18E and 46-18A. Please revise the Statement of Title for TMP
46-18E so that it states the most recent instrument number, DB 5366 page 539.
Response: DB 5366 pg 539 is just a quitclaim for the driveway. The source of title is DB 5366 pg
534.
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. Rev.1:
Comment not addressed, plat title should state that it is creating new easements on Tws 46-18E
and 46-18A.
Response: Title has been updated.
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 of ZMA201800011.
Rev. 1: Per applicant's comment response letter, a separate set of HOA covenants are being drafted
for TMP 46-18E and the new open space lot. Please provide documentation that new covenants will
ensure that the open space and buffer areas within the new open space parcel will be maintained in
accordance with all applicable provisions set forth in the Brookhill Code of Development from
ZMA201500007.
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).
Rev. 1: Comment stands, see above.
b. Covenants must address ownership and maintenance of features within private easements
Rev. 1: Comment stands, see above.
c. Covenants must address ownership and maintenance of private recreational areas and facilities.
Rev. 1: Comment stands, see above.
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.
Rev. 1: Comment stands, see above.
Response: I followed up with the attorneys on 9-21 and confirmed that they are in process. I will
forward once complete.
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. Rev. 1: Comment
not fully addressed. The parcel number stated in the labels for the manor house lot are
incorrect on some drawings. For example, on Sheet V6 the label states "Manor House Lot
Portion of TMP 46-18." Revise all drawings so that the manor house lot is identified as
TMP 46-19EL
b. Assuming both SUB201900123 and SLIB202000038 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. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed, please revise the TMP labels for TMPs 46-
18E and 46-18E1 so that they state the most recent instrument number, DB 5366 pages
539.
Response: Labels updated. Please note that the DB/pg for TMP 46-18E is DB 5295 PG 636 and
TMP 46-18A is DB 5349 PG 402.
8. [ 14-302 (13)(1)] Please add a date of last revision to each sheet.
Response: Revision date added.
9. [14-302 (B)(5)] 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. Rev. 1: State
the source used to determine what overlay districts apply to the property.
Per Section 18-30.6.2 (b)(1) and 18-30.6.2 (d), the Entrance Corridor Overlay district
applies to all properties that were contiguous with U.S. Route 29 on October 3, 1990. The
new open space parcel was originally part of a 42-acre parcel previously known as TMP 46-18 that
was contiguous with Route 29 on October 3, 1990. Therefore, the EC Overlay District still applies.
Please revise the note on Sheet VI accordingly.
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. Rev. 1: Revise the note so
that it states "the residue of TMP 46-18E (New Lot A) lie within..." Remove the language
stating "appears to be" and state the source used to determine what overlay districts apply
to the property.
Per Section 18-30.6.2 (b)(1) and 18-30.6.2 (d), the Entrance Corridor Overlay district
applies to all properties that were contiguous with U.S. Route 29 on October 3, 1990. The
residue of TMP 46-18E (New Lot A) was originally part of a 42 acre parcel previously
known as TMP 46-18 that was contiguous with Route 29 on October 3, 1990. Therefore, the
EC Overlay District still applies. Please revise the note on Sheet V1 accordingly.
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.
Rev. 1: Remove the language stating "appears to be" and state the source used to determine
what overlay districts apply to the property.
Response: Thanks for the clarification on this. I was basing it on GIS which showed it as not
applying anymore. Notes have been revised accordingly. Note 6 states that the information is
based on GIS information at the time of this plat and code section 18-30.6.2 (b)(1) and 18-30.6.2 (d).
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. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. State easement types
in the statement of consent to division for TMP 46-18E.
Response: Statement 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. Rev. 1:
Comment not fully addressed. There is an error in the acreage calculation of the residue of TMP
46-18E. It currently states that the residue is 0.00 acres.
Response: Updated.
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.
Rev. 1: See attached deed templates provided by Engineering. Submit draft deeds with next plat
submittal for review by Engineering and the County Attorney's office.
Response: I have passed on to the attorney.
14. [14-302 (A)(9)] Please revise note #8 on Sheet V L It should state that the new open space parcel is
hereby established as open space and does not contain a building site.
Response: Note revised.
15. [14-302 (11)(6)] Revise the parcel labels for Lot A across all applicable drawings so that it states "Lot
A Residue of TMP 46-18E."
Response: Label revised.
Engineerine Comments
1. Public storm drain easements and SWM facility easements need associated deeds. Rev. 1: Please
provide the deeds for review or notify the county if you would like us to draft them. Templates were
sent with the last submission, but are also attached here.
Response: Attorneys are drafting deeds now. Will forward once complete.
Thank you for taking the time to review this plat. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,
