Memorandum
To: Jeff Carter (jeff@carterening eering.net)
From: Kevin McCollum, Planner
Division: Planning
Date: April 6, 2021
Subject: SLTB202100038 W4 Express Car Wash - Easement
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. [General Comment] As this is an easement plat, any proposed improvements associated with
development of the site, including buildings, parking, dumpster pads, landscaping islands, etc. should not
be shown. On the plat, the property boundaries and any existing or proposed easements are the only things
that should be drawn within the parcel on Sheet 2. Please revise.
2. [14-302 (A)(3)] Provide the width of each road and include their recorded instrument number as a label
or callout on Sheet 2.
3. [14-302 (A)(5)] Please name the proposed easement over the shared use paths as "new permanent
access easement." This will not be a public easement dedicated to the County, but simply an easement
over a private sidewalk and travel way granting public access to use those improvements for bicycle and
pedestrian access purposes.
a. A declaration of maintenance and easement will need to be provided and recorded with this plat.
An example of a declaration of maintenance and easement for a similar easement on another
project is attached. Please revise the document so that it correctly identifies the new access
easement in Presidio, states the correct Tax Map Parcel number, who will maintain the
easement, etc. Portions of the declaration that need to be revised are highlighted in yellow. The
applicant may adjust other sections as they see fit. Once submitted, the County Attorney will
review the declaration.
4. [14-203 (D)] The public access easements will require a deed of easement. Therefore, the applicable fee
for this easement plat application is $817.00. Only $215.00 has been paid, please submit the outstanding
balance.
5. [14-302 (A)(11)] Please state the deed book and page number for the most recent recorded instrument that
applies to TMP 45-93C.
6. [14-302 (A)(15)] Please provide a note stating the names and addresses of any easement holders of
easements affecting the property.
7. [14-302 (B)(5)] Please remove reference to SDP2019-52 from the Zoning note.
a. Please remove the proposed building height and maximum building height notes on the plat.
8. [14-302 (13)(7)] Please provide a notation as to whether the land is within an Albemarle County and/or
City of Charlottesville water supply watershed or an agricultural -forestal district.
9. [14-302(B)] Provide the appropriate signature panel for the agent. A signature line should be provided on
the first page, with the words "Agent for the Board of Supervisors" beneath the line.
10. [14-302 (A)(1)] Amend the title so that it is clear this is an Easement Plat and not a Site Plan.
11. [14-303 (A)] Please add a statement of consent to division to the plat. Use the wording as follows: "The
platting or dedication of the following described land [insert a correct description of the land subdivided]
is with the free consent and in accordance with the desire of the undersigned owners, proprietors and
trustees, if any."
12. [14-303 (0)] Please provide a signature panel for the property owner directly under the statement
mentioned in comment # 11 above.
13. [14-303 (P)] Please provide notary panels for the notary to acknowledge the signature of the owner.
14. Please see the comments for SDP202000021. The conditions of the special exception for the initial site
plan SDP201900052 have been partially met, the shared use paths along Woodbrook Drive and Route 29
meet the required dimensions, but the required buffers have not been met. There should be a minimum 6
foot landscape strip buffer between the shared use path and Woodbrook Dr. The location of the public
access easement along Woodbrook Drive needs to be revised so that there is a 6' buffer between the path
location and the right-of-way. Staff will be making this same comment on the next site plan review
comment letter for SDP202000021.
