Subdivision Ordinance Comments: 1. [14-302(A)(1)] Name: The name of the plat should include information on the blocks and number of lots included with the application. Example: "Portion of Blocks 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8, Lots 1-40)". 2. [14-302(A)(4)(5)]; [14-317]; [14-303(L)] Easements: a. Confirm that all easements are shown on the plat that were shown on the site plan and road plans. It appears that many are missing from the plat. There are private drainage easements, stormwater management easements, and an emergency access, as examples, that are not being shown. Please cross reference all the easements shown on prior approved plans with what is being proposed on this plat. All easements need to be platted and dimensions of the easements need to be shown. b. There is an accessway for lots 15-24, however there is only an access easement shown on the lots and no easement for the access from Cardinal Hill Lane provided. Access easements, as well as private drainage easements, require maintenance agreements. See template that you can modify here. County Attorneys Office approval is needed. c. The public drainage easements require a deed of dedication to the County. County Attorneys Office approval is needed. d. Coordinate with Engineering on the SWM easements and deeds. Reference [14- 431]. e. The emergency access that was shown on the site plan is not being shown on the plat. An access easement over the emergency access is needed, as it crosses lots. :W �a f. Note that if any required landscaping is provided on a lot not owned/controlled by the HOA, then a landscaping easement will be required. g. Grading easements are needed for the grading done on parcel 90A1-1 D, since this is `offsite' work. Easements must be provided for other improvements (such as drainage pipes and the F/R emergency access). h. There was pedestrian access shown between lots 18 and 19 that is not being shown on this plat. Again, please cross reference the plat with the approved site plan. i. What is the 10 foot public access easement? Is this the trails? Will these be dedicated to the County? If so, a greenway/trail deed will be required. j. A maintenance agreement for retaining walls that cross property lines will need to be submitted and approved. Also, revise the retaining wall easement label to state "retaining wall maintenance easement" and not just "maint easement". Again, include dimensions of the easements. 3. [14-302(A)(8)] Proposed lots. Include a table of proposed lots by Block. This is a COD requirement also. 4. [14-302(A)(9)] Building sites. Modify the building site note to the following: "Lots 1-41, and the residue of Tax Map Parcel 90Al-1 E each contain a building site that complies with section 4.2.1 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance". 5. [14-302(A)(14)] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved. Include the location, acreage, and owner of all land to be dedicated to the public or reserved in a deed for the residents of this development. This includes required open space, and any land that may be being dedicated to the County. Clarify if any land or easement is being dedicated for public use. 6. [14-303(F)] Show the block areas per the rezoning on the overall sheet key on the plat. 7. [14-303(G)] Ownership of common areas. a. Indicate the intended ownership of all common areas and open space. See comments on the easements and the open space under the code of development. b. How will the shared parking for the condos be maintained? Will an easement be provided for those parking areas for the shared parking? If so, show the easement. Maintenance will need to be assured for those parking areas, as well as a shared parking agreement. c. Maintenance of these areas will need to be provided via a recorded document, such as HOA document. 8. [14-307.1] Show the limits of the dam break inundation zone on the plat. 9. [14-411] Public street standards. Revise the dedication label to read "hereby dedicated for public use". 10. [18-30.7] Label and show the preserved slopes on the plat. It appears that some of the lots may be impacting the preserved slopes. Code of Development Comments: 11. [Code of Development]: The stream buffer is within Lot 36 which is not permitted per the COD. Revise so that the buffer is not located on lots. 12. [Code of Development]: Vehicle Trips per Day a. Include the daily vehicle trip count with this plat, per the Traffic Impact requirement on Page 17 of the COD. 13. [Code of Development]: Affordable Housing a. Include the number of affordable units provided with this plat and minimum number of affordable units required per the COD, per the requirement on Page 21. b. Include a table showing affordable units required, provided, and total across the development. c. Label the affordable units on the plat. 14. [Code of Development]: Trails a. The plat includes Blocks 9-11 where future trails, buffers, open space, etc are required. Theses will need to be platted in the future. 15. [Code of Development]: Required Amenities/Open Space a. Label the provided required amenity areas and greenspaces on the plat. b. Include a table showing the required amenities/greenspace and showing what has been provided with this plat. This table should be continually updated with submittals. The requirements are included on Page 15 of the COD.

An exhibit may also be provided, as a supplemental document, showing where the rest of the required amenities/open space for the Blocks included in this submittal will be located (to show there is sufficient space for them).
