A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION Serving Virginia Since i956 July 2, 2021 County of Albemarle Community Development Department— Department Cameron Langille, Senior Planner II, Planning 401 McIntire Road, North Wing, Charlottesville, VA 22902-4579 Re: SUB202100082 Dunlora Park Phase II Final Plat — First Review Comments Dear Cameron, We received comments dated June 7, 2021 regarding the above referenced project and offer the following responses: 1. [14-302 (A)(3)] Please revise the instrument number for the Dunlora Drive ROW. Staff review of previously recorded plats finds that ROW was dedicated with DB 4967 page 133, not DB 4697 page 133. Please verify and revise the label if necessary. Response: Label revised. 2. [14-302 (A)(4) and 14-317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. Prior to approval of the final plat application, submit maintenance agreement ensuring the perpetual maintenance of all improvements that will be privately owned/maintained by the HOA. This includes the open space areas, the private alley, private easements, and any other improvements that are to be maintained by the HOA in perpetuity. County Attorney approval is required prior to final plat approval. Response: Will submit applicable instruments. 3. [14-302 (A)(5)] This final plat is proposing to create the new residential parcels in Dunlora Park Phase II and all proposed easements that will serve this phase. There is currently a major site plan amendment, SDP202100023, under review for this phase of the project. In order for the major amendment to be approved, all proposed public easements must be platted and recorded, and then the major amendment must be updated to state the recorded instrument numbers of all new easements. Response: Noted. a. [14-302 (A)(5) and 14-426] On Sheet 2, please revise the label for the proposed public drainage easement so that is states "dedicated to public use." Response: Label revised. b. [14-302 (A)(14) and 14-426] Please add a note to Sheet 1 stating the acreage of the proposed public drainage easement and state that it is hereby dedicated to public use. Response: Note added stating easement is dedicated to public use. Since it is not land being dedicated to public use, I don't believe the acreage of the easement is required per the code. c. [14-426, 14-431, and 14-433] All proposed public easements must include a deed of dedication that will be recorded with the plat. Engineering staff will prepare the deeds for the proposed public drainage easements and this will be sent to the applicant at a further date. Response: Please provide deeds. d. [14-203 (D)] Since this is a combined final subdivision plat (creating new lots) and easement plat that requires deeds, a few of $817.00 must be submitted prior to final plat approval. Response: A payment of $817 was submitted on April 26. A copy of the receipt is attached. 999 Second Street SE. Charlottesville. VA 22902. www.Roudabush.com 434.977.0205 Project 7/7/2021 4. [14-302 (B)(5)] Regarding Note #5 on Sheet 1 — further information is needed regarding location of Managed and Preserved Steep Slopes. Per the plat recorded in DB 4967, page 133, determinations were made as to the locations of both slope types exist within this phase of the project. Note #5 on Sheet 1 does not state where these slopes will be located after the subdivision of lots 29-34 occurs. For example, will any of the residential lots contain areas of managed and/or Preserved Steep Slopes, or will those slopes be located entirely within the new open space parcel? a. Pending completion of Engineering Division review, further comments may be forthcoming on this matter. Response: Steep slopes depicted on sheet 1 for further clarification. 5. [14-316] Please see attached VDOT comments regarding the alley entrance onto Varick Street. VDOT must grant approval to the alley entrance onto Varick Street prior to final plat approval. Response: Noted. 6. [14-410 (D)] Alleys must be a minimum of 20' wide unless the county engineer determines that the proposed design incorporates features that assure public safety and welfare. Pending completion of Engineering Division review, the alley may need to be widened in order to comply with minimum design requirements of Section 14-410. Response: Alley is a minimum of 20' per the site plan. Access easement is 21' wide min. 7. [14-404, 14-435] The private alley is the single point of access for lots 29-34. Prior to final subdivision plat approval, the private alley shall be built or bonded. Response: Will pass along to owners for bonding / construction. 8. [General Comment] Please see attached Fire Rescue comments. There are several emergency access requirements that must be met prior to approval of either the final plat or the major site plan amendment. The details specified by Fire Rescue staff have been under review as part of the major site plan amendment review, SDP202100023, that is currently underway. The final plat will not be approved until all Fire Rescue comments have been addressed. Response: Noted. Egi> Comments This site will require a one (1) new private road name. Per Sec. 7-200-B of the County's Road Naming and Property Numbering Ordinance. Response: Road name "Lindley Place" has been added per the site plan. Engineering Comments 1. Show prospective temporary grading easement across Lots 32, 33, 34. Label dimensions, provide bearing and distance for temporary grading easement. Ref. SDP202100023, sheet 4. Response: Easement added. 2. Incorporate 5/11/21 SDP202100023 Engineering review comments in plat, wherever relevant; for example: a. Review item 1.A.iii, Note 3 a00 conceptual stormwater management, or SWIM facility easement consistent with approved WPO201700052, Amendment #2. Also, please see approved SDP201800002 for layout that differs from current development layout. b. Review item 2, re. temporary grading easement encroachment on Lot 32 residential structure. C. Review item 3, re. minimum private access easement (13' proposed; 20' minimum). Response: All items updated per latest plan. 3. Extend new sanitary sewer lateral serving Lot 32 onto Lot 32. Response: Easement revised. 4. Provide private access easement agreement for variable width private alley for Planning Division review and approval. Response: Will forward deeds once drafted. 999 Second Street SE. Charlottesville. VA 22902. www.Roudabush.com Page 2 of 3 Project 7/7/2021 5. Ensure private access easement agreement (above) considers expense of repair to private access easement that may be associated with maintenance repair or replacement of private sanitary lateral that may occur only on one of the SF lots. For example, repair to lateral serving Lot 33 may occur on Lot 32 within (or outside) the variable width private alley easement. In this instance, the private access maintenance agreement should assign expense of repair for lateral serving Lot 33 that occurs on Lot 32 and may require repair of an alley serving all three lots. Engineering defers to Planning. V1, Note 17 assigns alley maintenance expense to the HOA; this may be problematic in event alley repair is required following private sanitary lateral repair, maintenance, or replacement. Notes 17 and 18 may introduce expense responsibility conflict/s. Response: Will forward deeds once drafted. 6. Provide arc and line segment endpoints. For example: AE11-AC9, AC10-AC11, AE1-AE2, etc. Response: Endpoints added. 7. 20' public drainage easement requires deed of easement. Once all final plat review comments are addressed, Engineering will format a deed of dedication of public drainage easement template for Applicant notarized signature/s. Response: Will await deeds. 8. An approved WPO Plan Amendment (#4) is required prior to Final Plat Approval. Ref. 5/11/21 Engineering review comments on Major FSP Amendment, SDP202100023, which makes ref. to WPO Plan Amendment request. Response: Noted. Thank you for your time in the review of this plat.
