Tinsman II (itinsman&cctownes.com) From: Kevin McCollum, Planner Division: Planning Date: March 31, 2021 Subject: SUB202100039 FOXCHASE - FINAL - DIGITAL 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. [14-302 (A)(4), 14-302 (A)(5), and 14-303 (L)] Please show all existing easements and state their recorded instrument number. Include the instrument number for State Route 1854 (Carlyle PI). [14-302(A), 14-302(B), 18-13.3] The acreage and total square footage of Lots 6-8 suggest Bonus Level Cluster Development is being utilized. Cluster provisions require 25% open space and Bonus Factors are required for the increased density. Please identify as notes which bonus factors are being utilized. a. Is Note #10 intended to demonstrate that existing wooded areas are being maintained in accordance with Section 18-13.4.1? If so, state the percentage of existing wooded areas being maintained, and state the corresponding percentage density increase gained. For example, if 10% of the site area is being maintained, a 5% bonus density increase is permitted. b. Is the conservation plan mentioned in Note # 10 a recorded instrument? 3. [18-2.2.3] Please provide evidence that enough open space is being provided to meet cluster development standards. Either 25% of this "phase" needs to create 25% open space on the phase acreage, or the entire Foxchase Landing needs to have 25% open space after platting of these three lots. 4. [14-302 (A)(11)] Please update the existing open space parcel labels so that they state the TMP, acreage, and recorded instrument numbers. 5. [14-302(B)] According to Albemarle County GIS Data, the property is located in the Lickinghole Creek Water Supply Watershed, not the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir Water Supply Watershed. Please update the applicable notes on the Plat to reflect this. 6. [14-303 (E)] Please clarify the curve lines that are being measured for curves C3 and C4. They appear to start and end at the same monuments at the front of Lot 7, but the curve line table states different measurements for each curve. 7. [14-302(B), 18-3.1, 18-4.191 The development of the property does not meet the definition of infill outlined in the Zoning Ordinance and therefore the applicable setbacks would be the non-infill setbacks as described in Section 4.19. Please correct the Setbacks requirement note. a. Infill. "Infill" means, as used in section 4.19, when 40 percent or more, in the aggregate, of the residentially zoned lots fronting on a street are developed within 500 feet in both directions of the subject lot having less than 120 feet of frontage on the same street at the time that it is developed, and development of the subject lot begins more than five years after the date: G) the final subdivision plat that created the lot was recorded in the Clerk's office of the Circuit Court of the County; or (ii) the final site plan depicting the development of the lot was approved by the County. 8. [14-317] Have HOA covenants ever been recorded to put ownership of open space/common areas to an HOA? According to Albemarle County GIS, the existing open space parcels are owned by Southern Classic. Section 18-4.7 (d) state that "Open space in private ownership shall be subject to a legal instrument ensuring the maintenance and preservation of the open space that is approved by the agent and the county attorney in conjunction with the approval of the subdivision plat or site plan." If no HOA covenants or other legal instruments have been recorded to comply with this requirement, a legal instrument will need to be prepared, reviewed, and approved as part of this final plat approval. 9. [14-302(A), 18-4.2] Albemarle County GIS data shows the presence of critical slopes on these lots. Please show them on the plat to ensure there are adequate building sites that comply with Section 4.2.1 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance.
