Division: Planning
Date: March 18, 2021
Subject: SUB202100016 Harris — TMP 115-40B and TMP 115-41E - BLA
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the plat referenced above once
the following comments have been addressed: [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is
to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
1. [14-301] It appears this application was a physical submission. Digital re -submissions will be accepted,
but prior to final approval a final copy printed to scale will be required. This submission was not
correctly printed to scale, however, we were able to review the pdf version. This comment has been
addressed by a digital resubmission. A scaled nhvsical coov will be reauired prior to final plat
approval.
2. [14-309, 14-310 & 14-4001 Under the County Zoning Ordinance definition of a building site (Section
18- 4.2.2 (a)), building site must measure a minimum of 30,000 sq. ft. and include adequate area for
locating two subsurface drainfields approved by the Virginia Department of Health. The plat shows a
drainfield associated with the dwelling on TMP 115-40B, but the dwelling will now be located on TMP
115-41E. Staff has forwarded the plat to VDH for review to gather information on where the existing
drainfields are located. However, additional information will likely be needed to be submitted to verify
that the VDH approved drainfields will be located on the same parcel as the house (revised TMP 11500-
00-00-041E0).
a. [14-309] If not, the applicant must submit soils evaluation reports to staff that will then be
forwarded to VDH for review to verify that revised TMP 115-41E contains a building site with
adequate area for two subsurface drainfields.
b. More information is needed to verify the locations of the drainfields. It appears there is a
drainfield on New Parcel 40B. Is the purpose of this drainfield to serve New Parcel 40B? If
that is the case the drainfield for New Parcel 41E also needs to be shown so that we can
verify that there is a building site, as defined by Section 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 of the Zoning
Ordinance, on New Parcel TMP 41E. "The buildin site shall have adequate area for locating
two subsurface drainfields approved by the Virginia Deaartnent of Health if the lot will be served
by a conventional onsite sewage system." As stated above the VDH approved drainfields will
need to be located on the same parcel as the house.
[14-302A] Provide the width of State Route 728 and include the recorded instrument number as a label
or callout on Sheet 2. This comment has been addressed.
4. 114-302B and 18-10.4] Since Ed Jones Rd is an existing public road the applicable setbacks are:
Front = 75'
Side = 25'
Rear = 35'
This comment has been addressed.
5. [14-302B] According to Albemarle County GIS, a small portion of the property appears to have the Water
Protection Ordinance Buffer on it. Please show this on the plat and include the following standard note:
"The stream buffer shown hereon shall be managed in accordance with the Albemarle County Water
Protection Ordinance." This comment has been addressed.

Comments from Other Reviewers:
Virginia Department of Health (VDH) — Alan Mazurowski - alan.mazurowski@vdh.vir ig nia.gov, requested
changes (3/l/2021)
1. Existing septic system and reserve drainfield area serving the existing dwelling on Parcel 41E are not
shown on the plat, and therefore I cannot determine whether the proposed lot line adjustment will cause
any conflicts with their locations.
a. Please see Comment #2 above. There needs to be clarification on which Darcel the shown
drainSeld is serving.
