Revision 2: June 15, 2021
Subject: SUB202000116 Proffit Road Townhomes North — Final Plat
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of the plat referenced above once the following
comments, and those provided by other Site Review Committee, SRC, members, 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.]
[14-401, 14-419] Waivers. To permit the proposed layout of Lots 1-7, special exceptions to the ordinances' requirements for
double frontage lots (14-401) and screening for double frontage lots (14-419) are needed. Both of these requirements can be
excepted by the agent as provided in section 14-203.1. Rev. 1: Comment satisfied. While both special exception requests
stated that the requests pertained only to Lots 4-7, staff found that the configuration of Open Space A made the same
special exceptions necessary for Lots 1-3 as well. As such, staff reviewed and approved the requests for Lots 1-7. See
approval letter addressing both waivers attached.
2. [2.2.3] Open space. In order to qualify as a cluster development, a minimum of 25% of the total land area for Phase 1 needs
to be identified, reserved and plated as common open space with this subdivision plat. Revise the plat (and Note 10) to
demonstrate that this requirement is being met. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
3. [14-302(A)(12)] Topography. Provide an exhibit or additional materials to satisfy the topographic requirements of 14-
302(A)(12). Rev, 1: Comment not yet satisfied. The exhibit will need to include the source of topography, including survey
date and name of the licensed professional, or a statement that topography data provided by the County was used. Please
revise accordingly. Also, one of the purposes of this exhibit is to document where steep slopes exist on the property. The
existing managed steep slopes areas are currently difficult to discern on the exhibit provided. Can these aspects be
represented more clearly? Note: Since this exhibit was recently received (3/15/2021), additional comments may be
forthcoming from Engineering. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
4. [14-303(M)] Street names. The proposed road names shown on the plat do not match those provided with the road plans
(SUB202000055). Review the proposed road names such that they align across all of the applications for this development
(subdivision, site plan, road plan). Rev. 1: Comment remains since road names are still being finalized. The E911 reviewer
has indicated that at least one of the proposed road names will need to be changed. Rev. 2: Comment addressed. The
proposed road names align with those provided in the approved road plan.
5. [14-302(A)(14), 14-303(E)] Internal road dedication statement. Revise Note 9 to identify streets by their intended name
instead of Road A, B, C, etc. Also, the language of this note currently calls out either a 49' or 54' width for each road,
however, the proposed entrance road for this property has both a 49' and 54' right-of-way width, in different locations. Rev.
1: Comment addressed.
6. [ZMA201900010, 14-302(A)(14)] Land to be dedicated. Include a note on the plat that "hereby dedicates" the right-of-way
reservation along Proffit Rd to the County. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
7. [ 14-317] Maintenance instrument. Provide a maintenance instrument(s) evidencing maintenance of the open space areas and
stormwater/drainage facilities and easements. Rev. 1: As is the County's typical practice, maintenance declarations will not
be forwarded to the County Attorney's Office until the plat is closer to finalization. With the next submission, please fill in
and submit the attached maintenance instrument cover sheet to indicate where (e.g. page, paragraph) maintenance of certain
improvements is addressed within the document provided. Rev. 2: Comment not yet satisfied. Thank you for providing
the supplemental materials. Please submit a revised plat addressing Comment 15, below, and staff will forward that
plat along with this information to the County Attorney's Office for review/approval.
8. [14-302(B)] Zoning. Revise Note A to:
a. Include that the subject parcel also lies within the Airport Impact Area (AIA) overlay district
b. Update the rezoning reference to ZMA201900010
c. State that the property is subject to the proffers associated with ZMA201900010
Rev. 1: Comments addressed.
9. [14-302(B)(8), 4.19] Yards.
a. Amend the side minimum to state a 5ft minimum from the right-of-way (unless the building shares a common
wall), per 4.19.
b. Provide the building separation information as its own line item.
c. Revise the maximum building height to "45' or 4 stories, whichever is less", to align with the proffered
application plan of ZMA201900010.
Rev. 1: Comments addressed.
10. [14-303(S)] Control points. If not already provided, include at least (4) control points, evenly distributed across the property
per 14-303(S). Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
11. [14-302(A)(7)] Abutting lots. Label abutting parcel TMP 32-36G. Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
12. [14-302(B)(1)] Resubmission. Reminder that revised plats must include the original date of drawing and the revision date(s)
of each subsequent version of the plat.
Additional comments based on revised plat last dated 2/1/2021:
13. [14-303 (G)] Ownership of common areas. Provide a note on the plat indicating the ownership of the open space areas.
Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
14. [ZMA201900010] Setback. Per the Application Plan and Proffers associated with ZMA201900010, include a note on the
plat stating: Front -loading garages must be setback a minimum of 3 feet from the front building fapade or front porch for all
single-family attached and single-family detached units, except on Lots 1-7. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
15. [14-409] Temporary construction easements. Without seeing a road design exhibit for the future extension of Beechtree
Terrace to the abutting property line shared with TMP 32A-2-1B, temporary construction easements may also be needed. If
so, it may be helpful to plat those easements with this final plat. Rev. 2: Comment not yet satisfied. The temporary
construction easement for the extension of Beechtree Terrace should be identified as "Temporary Construction
Easement to be Dedicated to County Upon Demand", in order to satisfy the requirements of 14-409.
16. [Comment] Centralized mail delivery. Will there be an easement for the proposed centralized mailbox area, or will this
amenity be placed in a common open space area? Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
17. [Comment] Fee. There is an outstanding balance of $215 on this application that will need paid prior to final plat approval.
This fee represents a flat fee applied to the mailing and preparing of SRC notices. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
18. [Advisory Comment] If Open Space D is developed into additional residential lots in the future, the future plat will need to
demonstrate that sufficient open space will be platted and/or remain platted to satisfy the minimum open space required by
this plat (1.78ac open space), as well as any additional open space requirements that may need to be met by the future plat.
Rev. 2: Comment acknowledged by the applicant. No action needed.
