SUB 2006 — 0193 Bundoran Farm
The Albemarle County Department of Community Development, Current Development Division will
approve the preliminary subdivision plat when the following items have been satisfactorily addressed:
[Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Code of Albemarle.]
[14- 302(A)(10)1 The assignment of development rights is confusing. I am notable to determine
where the development rights for lots B12, F13, H1 and G5 are coming from. Development rights
cannot be abandoned so all development potential must be allocated. Only by rezoning can
development rights be extinguished, "dissolving" property lines does not accomplish this. In
allocating development rights you need to allocate the 31 acre potential they can consume (reference
18- 10.3.1). The easiest method of allocating the development rights and developable acreage is to list
each lot and provide the following completed language for each lot:
Lot "X" is assigned "Y" development rights and may /may not be further divided and when
further divided these rights shall not comprise more than "W" acres. The development rights are
assigned from TMP.
If you will be assigned development rights from more than one parent parcel the language would have
to state how many of the development rights are coming from each of the parent parcels and that the
development rights may be used only within the boundaries of the parent parcel.
In a letter of determination dated August 18, 2005 (copy attached) development rights for the various
parcels has been determined. Tax Map 86, Parcel 16C1 was determined to have 3 development
rights. However, it appears that 4 lots smaller than 21 acres are being created using development
rights from this parcel.
Tax Map 86, Parcel 22A is not a separate parcel and is instead a life estate. It has no development
rights. Either it must be created as a new parcel using a development right and meet all other
requirements of the subdivision and zoning ordinances or it must be included in Lot A15.
2. [14- 302(A)(9)1 Building sites are not shown on any lot. For each lot indicate where the building site
required by Section 18 -4.2.1 and 18- 4.2.2(a) is located. You have shown house locations, these house
locations must be within a building site as defined by the ordinance.
3. [14 -4041 Lots B 13, D2, G2, C5, G6, F 14, F 15, I4, and 15 do not have access to an internal street as
required.
4. [18- 4.6.11 Lots located at the end of streets the setback is measured where the lot achieves lot width
(150 feet). This will be beyond 25 feet from the easement in many cases.
5. [14-302(A)(8)] For all lots located at the end of roads note the frontage each lot has to insure that all
lots have the minimum required frontage.
6. [14- 302(B) (10)1 Stream buffers of 125 feet are noted on the plan however the required buffer is only
100 feet.
7. [14- 30](C)1 Provide match lines for the various sheets.
8. [14- 302(A)(12)J Topography is missing on portions of lots H4, H5, H6 and H7.
9. [14-302(B)(8)] On page 1 the setbacks need to be modified. The front setback refers to "internal
public roads ", private roads are proposed. Side and Rear setbacks should not reference roads at all.
10. [14-302(A)(4)] Note the width of the proposed easement for the private roads.
11. [14- 302(B)(7)J Note that the property is not within an Albemarle County and/or City of
Charlottesville water supply watershed or an agricultural forestal district.
12. [14- 302(B)(5)J Note all special use permits affecting the properties. These are listed in the letter of
zoning compliance. The landing field was approved with SP 1974 -421.
13. Side lot lines waiver has been requested. No section number is referenced in the waiver request.
Staff has assumed that you are referring to 14 -405. We fmd that no waiver is needed. The lot design
does provide for orderly development and the lot configuration does not result in odd shaped lots.
14. Staff has started the review of the request to allow disturbance of critical slopes. This application will
be reviewed to determine if the concerns of Section 18 -4.2 and 4.2.5 are addressed. The waiver
request submitted by the applicant discusses various issues. It must also directly address each
concern specified in Section 4.2.
15. Tax Map 86, Parcel 24C and Tax Map 86 -26 are not changing. If you like you can remove them from
this subdivision application for purposes of commenting on development rights.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience if you have questions or require additional information.

Project: SUB- 2006 - 00193, Bundoran Farm Subdivision, Preliminary Plat
Plan preparer: Mr. Eugene Ryang, McKee Carson Engineers (fax 434.977.1194)
Owner or rep.: Mr. David Hamilton, Qroe Companies, LLC (fax unknown)
Date received: 13 June 2006 (plat dated date 12 June 2006)
Date of Comment: 29 June 2006
Engineer: Allan Schuck, Engineer
The preliminary plat for the Bundoran Farm Subdivision, received on 13 June 2006, has been reviewed.
The engineering review for current development does not recommend approval of the preliminary plat
until the following conditions are addressed with the preliminary subdivision plat:
1. The proposed conceptual SWM appears adequate for this subdivision. On Sheet 06 of the
preliminary plat, please label the amount of buffer proposed for each drainage area, including the
amount of extra buffer provided for mitigation purposes. [14- 302A13, 14 -305]
2. The applicant has submitted a private road waiver request for this subdivision. Engineering is still
reviewing this request. Please submit this additional information for the private road justification:
(a) Engineering cannot find where the initial segment of Bundoran Farm Drive has been
approved, by the County through a subdivision plat review, has been approved as a private
road. It does have a sign at its intersection with State Route 692 stating it's a private road. It
appears this sign is more of a 911 reference because more than 2 dwellings exist along this
road. The initial segment needs to be included with this request.
(b) Engineering reviews each individual street for the waiver request. The applicant has
provided an overall grading degradation for the entire subdivision. Please provide this
information for each individual street.
(c) The design of the proposed arch structures at the stream crossings will need to be certified by
a professional engineer before the final plat can be approved.
3. Please show and label the location and dimensions of all proposed easements. [14- 302A4]
4. Please label the widths of the proposed right -of ways for the public streets or access easements for the
private streets. [14- 302A3]
5. Drainage easements will be needed for the public / private streets. Please show the proposed
easements and label them as "dedicated to public use ", if the streets will be public. [14- 302A5]
6. In accordance with County Code Section 18- 4.2.6c; engineering has reviewed the critical slope
waiver in correlation to the alignment of the proposed streets. The applicant has not demonstrated
that no reasonable alternative location or alignment exists for the proposed streets. Therefore, the
applicant needs to show an alternate alignment for the streets that are currently shown in critical
slopes or the critical slope waiver review will include the proposed streets in the subdivision.
7. The applicant has submitted a request for critical slopes waiver in accordance with County Code
section 14 -304. The waiver request was incomplete and the applicant needs to provide the following
information, in addition to what was previously submitted for the waiver, for engineering review of
the waiver: [ 18 -4.2]
(a) Please provide an exhibit that shows the required 30,000 SF building site area for each lot is
not located in critical slopes. [18- 4.2.1]
(b) Please state how many critical slopes currently exist and how much of the slopes will be
disturbed as part of this subdivision. [18- 4.2.5]
The engineering review for current development needs to review and approve all applicable items as
specified in the Design Standards Manual, section 903, before recommending tentative approval to the
final subdivision plat.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Bill Fritz
FROM: James Barber
DATE: July 4, 2006
SUBJECT: SUB 2006 -00193 Bundoran Farm
I have had a chance to review the plan submitted and can offer the following comments on behalf of the
Department of Fire Rescue.
No mention of water supply is made. Section 508.1 of the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention
Code requires that, "An approved water supply capable of supplying the required fire flow for fire
protection shall be provided to premises upon which facilities, buildings or portions of buildings
are hereafter constructed or moved into...."
The proposal calls for eighteen foot road widths and Mountainous Road Standards. In this
scenario emergency vehicles may not be able to access properties. Stream crossings would need
to be designed to carry the weight of emergency apparatus.
Note 2 under the "Request for Waiver: T and Branch type turnarounds" reads, "...single unit truck
design vehicles can reverse direction with leaving the pavement." Please change the wording to
indicate vehicles may change direction without leaving the pavement.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions.
