Subject:
SUB202100023 Old Dominion Woods Tract - Final Plat
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the Subdivision 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. 114-206, 14-404, 14-203.11 The proposal is incorrectly submitted as a 2-lot subdivision under Section 14-207,
rather, the proposal is truly a 3-lot division which shall be reviewed under Section 14-206 and requires Site
Review Committee (SRC) review. Additionally, the proposal is relying on a waiver to Section 14-404 to permit
Lot 1 to access Irish Road instead of a private street created at the time of the subdivision. Please submit the
correct applications (subdivision plat and variation application and justification required in 14-203.1) and pay the
correct fees. Here is a LINK to the correct applications. Below is a summary of the fees paid and fees owed to
move forward:
Fee Paid: $581 (2 lot division) — this can be refunded once the correct fees are paid.
Fees Owed: $1,075 + $75 (final plat sent to SRC)
$215 for SRC notices
$355 Tier II Groundwater assessment review fee
$892 Variation fee (Section 14-404 waiver)
2. 114-404, 14-203.11 Prior to final subdivision plat approval Lot 1 will require an approved waiver to Section 14-404
of the subdivision ordinance to not access a private street created at the time of the subdivision.
3. 114-303(R), 14-4041 Remove note # 13, as Lot 2 and Lot 3 shall only access the state road through the private
street created at the time of the subdivision. Unless a 14-404 waiver is granted for these lots as well, provide the
following note on the plat: `All subsequent divisions of Lot 2 and 3 shall enter only onto such street(s) shown on
the approved final plat and shall have no immediate access onto to any public street. ".
4. 110.4, 14-412, 14-4101 The proposed 50' easement necks down to an unknown width near L2, L3, and L5 and is
labeled "proposed variable easement". What is the width of this portion of the easement? Label it on the plat. The
easement shall be a minimum of 30' wide throughout in order to be utilized as frontage for Lot 2 and Lot 3.
Additionally, this easement is required to be a private street to serve as frontage for Lot 2 and Lot 3. Revise the
label of this easement to be "new 50' wide private street easement".
5. 117-10021 Tier 2 Assessment. Prior to fmal subdivision plat approval, a Tier II groundwater assessment study shall
be conducted for the proposal. Please pay the $355 fee mentioned in comment # 1 and staff will conduct the review
for the applicant.
6. [14-302(A)14, 14-428, 14-429] Note # 15 and the note above the owners signature line states that a dedication of
public right of way is taking place, however, the plat does not depict this dedication. Revise the plat to depict,
label, and dimension the dedication. VDOT shall review and approve the plat prior to County approval. Otherwise
remove the dedication notes throughout the plat.
7. [14-303(D)] The plat lists the acreage of the lot (TMP 126-211)9) as 78 acres, however, County GIS and the LOD
list the lot as 91 acres. Please confirm this is the true acreage of the lot.
8. 114-302(B)(8), 10.41 The setbacks shall be revised to add the front setback to an internal private road (25').
9. [14-316] Approval ofentrance onto public streets. Submit evidence that the entrance of the principal means of
access for each lot onto the existing public street complies with Virginia Department of Transportation standards. I
recently forwarded the plat to VDOT for review. Once their review comments are received, I'll forward them to
you. If you have already obtained this documentation please provide it to staff.
10. [14-302(B)10] Stream Buffers. The 100' stream buffers depicted on the plat do not match those depicted on the
County's GIS map. Revise the stream buffers to match those depicted on the GIS. If you disagree with this and
would like to challenge the buffer layout I can ask the Engineering department to weigh in.
11. [14-216] Revise the magisterial district listed on sheet 1 and sheet 2 to Samuel Miller.
12. [Comment] Remove the two notes that state: "access point to state -maintained roadways... " and "The signature
of VDOT's representative is an acknowledge of the subdivision of land and is not an endorsement.... "
13. [14-303(0)] Revise the County's signature block to only contain the Subdivision Agent for Albemarle County.
The other two reviewers listed in the signature block do not sign the plat.
14. 114-309 & 14-3101 Soil evaluations; Health Director Approval ofwells and septic systems. Each lot shall be
provided a primary and reserve drainfield location approved by the Health Department. Approval by the Health
Department is required before the plat can be approved. Please submit the soil work for each lot and I'll forward it
to the Health Department for their review.
15. 114-235, 14-3171 Instrument evidencing maintenance of improvements. Provide a private street maintenance
agreement for County Attorney review and approval prior to final plat approval. Attached is a template.
16. [14-303(S)] Control Points. Control points must be submitted. At the option of the subdivider, the control points
may be shown on a copy of the final plat, rather than on the original final plat.
17. [14-302(B)(1)] General Information. Provide the date of the last revision.
Staff has provided references to the County Code. The Code is kept up-to-date by the County Attorney's office and

if the applicant fails to submit a revised plat to address all of the requirements within silt (6) months after the date of this
letter, then the application shall be deemed voluntarily withdrawn. Please contact Christopher Perez at the Division of
