RE: SUB202000071 Berkmar Overlook — Final Subdivision Plat
Mr. Anderson,
Please find attached five copies of the revised plat. The plat has been revised to address your comments
received on June 13, 2020 in accordance with the following:
Unclear how this plat may be approved without simultaneously extinguishing (graphically)
boundary lines of existing parcels held by Berkmar Development, LLC (TMP 45-85, 45-84A, 45-
112171, 45-112172). Note, for example, Open Space D and A cross Ex. boundaries, which may
introduce uncertainty concerning assignment to residue parcel/s once development is subdivided.
Engineering defers to Planning.
RESPONSE: Note added (see note V9, boundary line are extinguished.
2. In addition to IF @ 104.33' label, provide bearing and distance labels for 104.33' boundary line
segment.
RESPONSE: Undated label.
3. Provide 481.60'(T) label for line segments bearing N70°26'01"W.
RESPONSE: Updated label.
4. It seems unusual that fenced cemeteries might count as'open space.' Engineering defers to Planning.
RESPONSE: Cemetery is located within an `open space' parcel.
5. Please use a different are endpoint symbol to distinguish from line segment endpoints . For example ,
164.02' segment traverses lots 37-41 with 0.34' and 12.60' lengths extending across portions of
adjacent lots, while at the other end of this row of lots (N end Swede Street), C6 may or may not
define boundaries of Lots 31 to 34. Avoid a single symbol that in one instance may in dictate a line
endpoint, while in another, an arc endpoint. Different symbols may help a great deal. Additional
comments, V4-V6, are possible.
RESPONSE: Updated labels.
6. Recommend parenthetical (T) distance for arcs spanning multiple lot boundaries: C14, 16, 19,25
(VS), for example.
RESPONSE: Updated labels.
7. Provide bearings for Emergency Access Parcel segments measuring 60.53' and 64.93'.
RESPONSE: No loneer relevant.
8. Provide inset detail for 0.34' tie, Lot 36.
RESPONSE: Updated label.

9. Provide deed bk.-pg. reference to recorded third -party Retaining Wall Maintenance Agreements,
unless Agreements are to be recorded with this final plat. Engineering defers to Planning, but needs to
confirm that Agreements for walls crossing parcel boundaries are recorded. Wall easements are not
dedicated to public use. Albemarle is not party to retaining wall maintenance agreements.
RESPONSE: Separate cover.
10. Recommend revise New Public Utility Easement labels which appear to apply to both ACSA sanitary
and waterline easements with conventional labels reading ACSA Sanitary Easement, and ACSA
Waterline easement. Distinct ACSA labels are informative to agencies and property owners relative
to lots, boundaries, type of utility, and location of utility types, relative to one another. Engineering
defers to Planning/ACSA, but finds proposed new public utility easement labels to be generic, non -
descriptive, and for this reason, of minimal use.
RESPONSE: Updated labels.
11. Revise/relocate 54.4P tie at E end of wall and maintenance easement crossing Lots 24-28 such that
tie is between a property or parcel boundary and a corner of the wall easement (one end or other of
18.00' line segment), similar to 45.50' tie provided for wall easement crossing Lots 22 and 23.
RESPONSE: Updated label.
12. If wall and maintenance easement crosses any portion of Lot 28, provide inset detail for that portion
of the wall easement that lies on Lot 28.
RESPONSE: Provided detail.
13. Provide landscape easement endpoints for 36.18' and 39.98' segments crossing lots 15-17.
RESPONSE: Updated label.
14. Provide inset detail for portion of new variable width landscape maintenance easement that lies on
Lot 15.
RESPONSE: Provided detail.
15. Provide endpoints for new public utility easement line segments on Lot 47.
RESPONSE: Updated label.
16. Check variable width sight distance easement in Open Space B, which has a line break south of Lot
31. It is unclear why a sight distance easement would break.
RESPONSE: There are two separate intersections that have overlapping sight distance
easements. One through access easement from TMP 45-112F and one from Swede Street and
Empire Street insection.
17. Revise 22.45' tie (new public utility easements), Marsac cul-de-sac, to tie to lot, open space, or
emergency access parcel boundaries, not to one another.
RESPONSE: Updated label.
18. Copy V7 SWM easement line and curve labels to VS such that sheet VS defines the SWM easement
with certainty. Engineering understands the intent is not to overwhelm any single sheet of the plat
with too much data, but believes that will not be the case with the SWM easement.
RESPONSE: I want to separate so that it is clear what is being displayed.

19. Provide SWM easement endpoints between 88.49' and 85.96' line segments, west edge of easement.
RESPONSE: Updated label.
20. New 10' private drainage easements (multiple): Provide line segment endpoints, all easements.
RESPONSE: Updated label.
21. Ensure plat defines/labels SWM facility access easement. If access is included in SWM easement on
V8, please confirm.
RESPONSE: Updated label.
22. Label unlabeled private drainage easements'Typ' label appears slightly in adequate.
RESPONSE: Removed Tvp from labels.
23. Provide Note on V7 and V8 that reads: 'Reference bearing - distance information on sheets V4, V5,
V6.'
RESPONSE: Added note to all easement sheets.
Thank you for taking the time to review this plat and trust the above adequately addresses your
comments, however, please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information.
Thank you,
