Please reference the ACPR memo dated 4/5/2021 for full details. Overall, in accordance with the Comp Plan, ACPR believes the appropriate land uses in the environmentally -sensitive riparian portions of the subject property(s) are limited, and should include a publicly -accessible greenway over certain portions of TMP #79-36 (within the Flood Hazard Overlay / "100 Year Floodplain" along the Rivanna River) so that the County can: 1. continue to implement the planned Greenways/Blueways network along the Scenic Rivanna River in ways that would be mutually beneficial (including new and improved water access facilities at the Milton Boat Launch, as well as the construction of a trailhead and multi- use greenway trails that would connect with existing County greenways immediately upstream and downstream from TMP #79-36); and 2. help ensure the long-term protection and conservation of this sensitive riparian environment along the Scenic Rivanna River. Both objectives (1. and 2., above) are in alignment with the community's ' vision and the County's formally adopted plans, as contained in: 1. Albemarle County Comp Plan — "Green Systems" chapter (2015) 2. Albemarle County Greenway Plan in Development Areas (2015) 3. Albemarle County Rural Parks and Greenway Plan (2015) 4. LPDA Rivanna Greenway Feasibility Study (by LPDA: 2020) 5. Rivanna River Corridor Plan (by County + City + TJPDC: 2021) (Please see enclosed pages 5 — 6 for more details on adopted County plans and objectives. Please see pages 7 — 8 for more details on planned outdoor recreation facilities.) More specifically, to enable the County to implement and maintain planned strategically important outdoor recreation facilities, and to protect and manage sensitive environmental resources, the recommended greenway area would include: 1. the riverfront, riverbanks, and portions of the riparian floodplain (within the FEMA-designated Flood Hazard Overlay or "100-year floodplain"), extending from the northern boundary of TMP #79-36 along North Milton Road to the southern boundary along Camp Branch. (Please see enclosed exhibits titled "Greenway Easement Area Along Rivanna River" on pages 3 — 4 for a conceptual depiction of the recommended greenway easement area.) The recommended greenway easement area would be located and configured so as to not interfere with or hinder the current or proposed land uses at The Clifton & Collina Farm. The portion of TMP #79-36 where the greenway easement is recommended is within the FEMA-designated regulatory floodplain, is generally not developable and has few appropriate land uses other than conservation and outdoor recreation. The final location and configuration of any such voluntarily -dedicated greenway easement area would be accurately determined by a professionally licensed land surveyor and identified on a separate easement plat at the expense of Albemarle County. This easement platting work would happen in close coordination with the property owner and applicant. The County's management and maintenance of any such voluntarily - dedicated greenway easement area would include site -specific features (potentially including but not limited to signage, access control, or other appropriate measures) to help minimize or eliminate any problematic issues between public use of the greenway and private property. ACPR would work closely with the property owner(s) to identify, implement, and maintain any such necessary features at the expense of Albemarle County. 2 3 m of Mpogral or mnmurs, or any aepebon M physltel Improvements, propel lines or rental is Mpaneellnormal only and stall not Ce usM Mr(M aesgn,mMlflta(im,orosnYnxlion Mlmpmvements m—1 pmpeM o, (d nand plain Eele,minstion.
