recommend approve the plan referred to above when the following items have been satisfactorily addressed. (The
following comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be
added or eliminated based on further review.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the
Albemarle County Code.]

that Phase 2 will change the spillway design flood standards of the impounding structure. The County cannot approve
this application until the requirements of Virginia Code § 15.2-22431 are met as outlined in the letter dated February
10, 2021.

development within the dam break inundation zone following completion of the development
2. [14-302(B)] Provide density information for this phase including the number of lots proposed and the density
calculation. Also, indicate the types of units for the lots, it appears that Lots 65-74 are now single family detached
rather than attached, which was shown on the initial site plan and preliminary plat.
3. [14-303(F)] Provide a phasing plan. This is a final plat for a larger phase and a phasing plan should be provided to
track the density and types of units.
4. [14-302(B)(8)] The side setback per 4.19 is 10 feet unless the units are attached. See above comment regarding
the types of units.
5. [14-302(A)(5)] Public easements. The deed book and page number for the Greenway easement will be needed prior
to approval of the plat.
6. [14-302(A)(5)] The right of way shown on this plat needs to match the BLA/Easement plat (SUB2021-004) under
review. Also, the BLA/Easement plat will need to be approved and the deed book and page number will need to be
added to this plat prior to approval.
7. [14-317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. Instruments are needed for the proposed
improvements prior to final approval (open space, private drainage, retaining walls etc).
8. [SP1990-103 Condition #2] Condition #2 of the special use permit that was approved in 1990 requires the crossing
to be made prior to development. Zoning staff is reviewing this condition in relation to this submittal to determine if
the crossing will need to be built. I will pass on any information from zoning once an interpretation of the condition is
made.
