From: Andy Reitelbach, Senior Planner, Planning Division
Date: October 7, 2021
Subject: SUB2021-00102 — HTC Area C Townhomes — Final Subdivision Plat; 2"1 Submittal
The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department of Community
Development will recommend approval of 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.)
1. This application consists of two separate plats. A second fee will need to be paid for the second
plat, and an additional application number will be assigned to the second plat. Thank you for
paying the additional fee. The subdivision plat for Block H will remain assigned as
SUB2021-00102. The subdivision plat for Block III has been assigned the application
number SUB2021-00165.
For ease of review, all comments for both plats are included in this review letter. However,
for subsequent submittals, please ensure each is re -submitted separately with the
appropriate application number.
Comments below are divided among those comments that relate to both plats, those comments that relate
only to the Block III plat (now SUB2021-00165), and those comments that relate to only the Block II plat
(remains SUB2021-00102).
Both Plats
2. These plats do not match the final site plan that is currently under review for these same parcels
(SDP2020-00063). The final site plan and the final subdivision plat must be in conformance with
one another. Additional comments may be provided based on the subsequent layout of the site
plan, including the need for additional easements, or the re -subdivision of lots (if the plat is
recorded first). Comment still applies. The subdivision plats must match with the site plan.
VSMP and road plans must be approved prior to approval of subdivision plats.
3. As attached single-family houses are proposed for this development, a final site plan is required.
Comment still applies. An approved final site plan is required for this development.
4. Easements proposed to be public need to be labelled as "hereby dedicated to public use."
Comment addressed.
5. Deeds will be required for easements. Comment still applies. Deeds are required for
easements prior to approval of the subdivision plat.
6. HOA documents, such as a declaration of covenants and restrictions, are required, with
Review Comments

appropriate maintenance agreements, identifying the party(ies) responsible for ownership and
perpetual maintenance of private assets or facilities in common ownership, such as the access
easements. Comment still applies. These documents are required prior to approval of the
subdivision plat.
7. Provide the intended ownership of all proposed common areas. Comment addressed. (Note:
HOA documents must be submitted and approved prior to final approval of the subdivision
plat.)
8. Ensure future submittals of the plats have dates of last revision. Comment continues to apply to
all future submittals.
9. Note # 12 on each plat needs to be revised. Every proposed parcel must have a building site that
complies with Section 4.2.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. Comment addressed.
10. Include a note on each plat that the property is not within an ag-forestal district. Comment
addressed.
11. The property in each block is not within a water supply watershed. Revise the relevant notes on
each plat. Comment addressed.
12. Provide a written note on each plat, or show graphically, the required setbacks for the parcels in
each block. Comment partially addressed. For Block III, the build -to lines come from
ZMA2001-00020. Revise the setbacks note on the Block III plat.
13. Provide the following note on each plat: "The streets in this subdivision may not meet the
standards for acceptance into the secondary system of state highways and will not be maintained
by the Virginia Department of Transportation or the County of Albemarle." Comment
addressed.
Block III Plat— SUB2021-00165
14. On the Block III plat, clarify that Area A is dedicated to the County for public right-of-way.
Comment addressed.
15. The property in Block III is zoned Planned Development — Mixed Commercial (PDMC), pursuant
to ZMA2001-00020 (not NMD, with ZMA2017-00005). Revise note #7 on this plat. This
property is subject to ZMA2001-00020. It was not a part of the rezoning application
ZMA2017-00005.
16. Identify whether the proposed 30' access easement on the Block III plat is a private street
easement or a private alley easement. This comment has not been addressed.
Block II Plat — SUB2021-00102
17. The property in Block II is zoned Planned Development — Mixed Commercial (PDMC) (not
NMD). Comment addressed.
18. On the Block II plat, clarify that Area A is dedicated to the County for public right-of-way.
Comment addressed.
Review Comments

19. Lot 40 has no information provided for it. This information has not been corrected. Comment
not addressed.
20. Private streets have not been approved for this block at this time. Requests for private streets in
the development areas must be submitted to the Community Development Department, with
justification, for staff to analyze and review.
If approved, the labels will need to be changed to "private street right-of-way." Final site plan is
required for this development and must be re -submitted for review. Comment not fully
addressed — revise labels to private street right-of-way.
21. Identify whether the proposed new variable width access easement along Connor Drive on the
Block II plat is a private street easement or a private alley easement or some other type of
easement. Comment addressed.
22. There is a label for a sanitary sewer easement on Lot 24. However, it does not appear to be
identifying or pointing to anything. Clarify. Comment addressed.
23. New Comment: The name, address, and phone number of the plat preparer has been overlaid on
the note about the required setbacks for this property. (See the bottom left-hand corner of the
plat.) Revise the location of these elements so they are easily legible.

Acceptable road names:
Zinnia Crest ( note it will be abbreviated CRST on the road sign)
Orchid Bend ( note it will be abbreviated BND on the road sign)
Road names that will need to be changed:
Flora Bend
Per Part I, Section 4-a of the County's Road Naming and Property Numbering
Manual (page 10 of PDF):
"A proposed road name which duplicates an existing or reserved road name
within a United States Postal Service zip code that is located in Albemarle County
or the City of Charlottesville shall not be approved. An exception may be made
for dead end streets which have the same name as the road from which they
originate (e.g., "Amberfield Court" which originates from "Amberfield Drive")."
A Flora Ct and Flora Ln already are reserved so Flora Bend would not be allowed
unless it is off these roads. However, if you add a word before or after Flora it
would be acceptable. Ex. Purple Flora Bend or Flora View Bend, etc.
