SUB202000189 Brookhill Open Space Special Lot Plat
Dear Cameron,
We received your comments regarding the project above dated December 4, 2020 and updated
December 11, 2020 and offer the following responses:
1. [General Comment] Per the Code of Development and Application Plan of ZMA201500007, the
greenway dedication throughout Brookhill measures approximately 53.6 acres and is spread across
multiple blocks.
This plat appears to be dedicating the greenway areas identified on the Application Plan in most blocks.
However, the Application Plan identifies greenway areas within Block 8 on TMP 46-19A2, and an area
along the eastern property boundary of TMP 46-19138. The plat does not propose to dedicate those two
greenway areas. Please address the following:
a. Please acknowledge that the applicant/developer/owners are aware that those two greenway areas
are required to be dedicated to the County.
b. Please verify the timing/intent for dedicating those greenway areas.
Response: The developer is aware and has stated that the additional areas will be platted and an
easement dedicated to Albemarle County at a later date.
2. [14-302 (A)(14)] Per the proffers of ZMA201800011, and the Code of Development and Application
Plan of ZMA201500007, the area shown as "New Open Space Parcel' coincides with the area identified
as Greenway. The greenway within Brookhill is required to be dedicated to the County for public use (see
page 18 of the COD and proffer #2A of ZMA201800011). Notes 12 and 13 state that the new open space
parcel is going to be owned by the HOA. Please address the following:
a. Please confirm that the open space/greenway parcel encompasses the land within the 100 foot
stream buffer along the perennial streams and wetlands and all land located within the floodplain,
per page 18 of the COD. Any land not within the floodplain, perennial stream buffer, or wetlands
are not required to be dedicated to public use/greenway.
Response: The proposed greenway parcel does encompass the 100-foot stream buffer and all area
within the floodplain with the exception of the areas mentioned in comment 1.
d. Revise the Area Summary on Sheet V 1 so that it states the overall acreage for new greenway
parcel.
Response: Total area clarified on V1.

Erosion & Sediment Control Facilities shall be located outside of the stream buffer corridor."
