Boundary Line Adjustment(SUB201500019)—Engineering review of proposed New 30'Shared Access
Easement within stream buffer,and BLA+WPO/Mitigation Plan comments,item#8(for Water Street Studio)
A plat is a record ofproperty division or reservation. Code Chapter 14)
1. Sheet 1—Revise second stream crossing Note:Ref Section 17-604.A./C.,rather than Section 17-320D.
Rev.1)Addressed.
2. Sheet 1 (Plat)—Last stream crossing Note:Include date of Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan by Water Street
Design Studios,if plan exists. If plan exists,submit. If plan proposed,see item#8. (Rev.1)Not
Addressed. Provide Water Street Studio Mitigation&ESC Plan revised date.
3. Sheet I—Correct(TMP 86-107)Residue Lot to read H-8R,rather than H8. (Rev.1)Addressed.
4. Sheet 1—Revise(seventh)general note to limit stream buffer disturbance to minimum necessary to construct
DRIVEWAY. New 30'shared access easement confers no land disturbance right beyond minimum
necessary to construct an approximate 10'wide driveway. All restrictions found at Section 17-604.A./C.
apply. Except for limited land disturbance privilege within the landward fifty horizontal feet minimally
required to construct approximate 10'wide driveway,no additional land disturbance within stream buffer is
permitted. Mitigation of stream buffer impact with live plantings is only other acceptable disturbance
activity within stream buffer.(Rev.1)Adddressed.
5. New 30'shared Access Deeded Easement:Parcel H-8D to Parcel H-8R: Include limiting language
comment#4 guidance). Approximate ten(10)ft wide land disturbance(see reference plat)is permissible.
30'shared Access Deeded Easement lies within a protected streani buffer. Albemarle County ordinance,
applied in this instance,allows minimal land disturbance required to construct approximate a 10-ft wide
driveway. Any other land disturbance activity,including soil stockpiles or storage of fuel or equipment,
temporary or otherwise,is prohibited.(Rev. 1)Adddressed.
6. Sheet 2—Provide land hooks that join parcel X and Lot H8D. (Rev.1)Addressed.
7. Sheet 2—Provide bearing/distance ties to boundary line irons(IF), line segments L 1,and LIO. (Rev. 1)
Addressed.
8. Boundary Line Adjustment Approval requires Mitigation Plan review and approval. Provide Stream Buffer
Mitigation Plan(Water Street Design Studio/other).(Rev. 1)Partially Addressed. As follow-up,
Mitigation Plan(WPO)comments(Please share this information with Water Street Studio):
a. Mitigation Plan scale appears inaccurate(11" x 17"plan sheet)based on location WPO-100'.
Revise as necessary.
b. Note:Please submit four(4)full-size Mitigation Plan sets(for Approval).
c. Note:Plan comments are minor-.PDF review is welcome.

d. Clarify whether Mitigation Plan plantings are proposed for Lots H-8D and H-8R. All property
owners who are party to the Mitigation Plan will need to be party to the Mitigation Bond.
e. Hatched areas on Residue lot H8 extend to margins of plan sheet. It is unclear if areas beyond
margins of plan sheet are to be planted. Clam. Please ensure area=36,000 SF is visible.
f. Request Mitigation Plan bond estimate.(Form sent as e-attachment,2-Jul 15)
g. Furnish Additional Notes,sheet 1 or 2 of Mitigation Plan:
i. Native Vegetation shall be preserved to the fullest extent possible. [17-601.B.]
ii. Each stream buffer shall be maintained in as natural a condition as possible.[17-601.E.]
iii. Impact to stream buffer is estimated=18,000 SF;impact may not exceed 18,000 SF.
Minor deviation of driveway centerline is permissible within New 30'Shared Access
Easement,but disturbance associated with construction may not occur within 50'of
stream. At one point,disturbance is shown approx.45'from the stream. This is an
approved exception.
9. 10' wide driveway bed is estimated to impact 5,745 SF of stream buffer. Provide 2:I mitigation for 6,000
SF,at 12,000 SF(4.4%,additional incidental grading). —26-May 15 letter(Clint 1-Iarmon/RGA)(Rev. 1)
Adddressed.
10. Engineering confirms the new location of the shared access easement/proposed driveway alignment within
landward 50 horizontal feet of stream meets conditional standards. Sec 26-May RGA letter for details of
email correspondence,stream buffer and natural resource impact avoidance/minimization efforts.
