A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION Serving Virginia Since i956 October 15, 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 August 25, 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. [114- 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. Rev. 1: Draft HOA covenants were provided on August 12th that have provisions for maintenance of improvements within private drainage easements, private sanitary easements. and open space parcels. However, the declaration did not mention the improvements within the private alley easement. An instrument evidencing maintenance of the private alley must be recorded with the plat. Does the applicant want to incorporate the private alley into the draft declaration, or provide a separate maintenance agreement for the alley? Staff is providing a copy of the County's standard private improvement maintenance agreement for reference. This could be revised specifically for the private alley easement. or it could be used to add sections to the draft declaration already submitted to address the private alley easement. Response: Revised deeds attached. 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. 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. Rev. 1: Comment stands. see Engineering Division comments. Response: Will await deeds. d. [ 14- 203 ( D)] Since this is a combined final subdivision plat ( creating new lots) and easement plat that requires deeds, a fee of $817.00 must be submitted prior to final plat approval. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. This comment was originally made because the application originally submitted for this plat had selected the " Subdivision following Final Site Plan Approval" option as the applicable fee. That fee is $ 742.00. Per applicant comment response letter, a fee of $817.00 was 999 Second Street SE. Charlottesville. VA 22902. www.Roudabush.com 434.977.0205 Project 10/15/2021 submitted in April. Staff have verified that the $ 817.00 fee was submitted and received. This comment is hereby revised because the total fee that needs to be paid is the fee for both a final plat following final site plan approval ($ 742.00) and the easement plat application with a deed fee 899.00) = total $ 1, 641.00. Please submit payment for the remaining $ 824.00 balance. Response: Per email on 9-29 this has been resolved. 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. Rev. 1: Comment stands pending completion of VDOT review. Response: It looks like VDOT has no objection to the site plan SDP202100023 as of 7-6. Their comment letter from May 4 says the plat is generally acceptable. 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. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed, please see Engineering Division comments. Several easement lines are not listed in the line table. Response: Line table updated per Engineering comments. 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. Rev. 1: Please see attached Engineering Division comments. Response: Per the owners, the request to establish a bond fee has been paid, and we have our bond amount. However, they're holding off on bonding right now until we get additional plan approvals. Engineering Comments 2. Incorporate 5/11/21 SDP202100023 Engineering review comments in plat, wherever relevant; for example: d. Ref. SDP202100023 8/ 13/ 21 Engineering review items at 4j., requesting certain easements be shown/ labeled. e. Show / label SWM facility access easement, consistent with SDP202100023 and WP0201600058 Amendment #4, pending /to be submitted Response: Lindley Place serves as access for SWM facility easement. Labels have been added on sheets V7 & V2 to establish this. 4. Provide private access easement agreement for variable width private alley for Planning Division review and approval. Rev. 1) Persists. Response: See attached deeds. 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. Rev. 1) Persists. Response: See attached deeds. 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. Rev. 1) Persists. Response: Will await deeds. 999 Second Street SE. Charlottesville. VA 22902. www.Roudabush.com Page 2 of 3 Project 10/15/2021 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. 9. New: a. Please list AE10, AE11, AE13, AE14, AE19 in Access Easement Table. Response: Added. b. If Access Easement includes AE15, please list in easement table. c. If AE15 exists, please clarify location on Sheet V1 of plat. Response: AE1 S did not exist. Renumbered AEI S-AE18 with this submission however. d. If development requires private water lateral easements, please provide, show, and label. If lateral is to benefit a particular lot, recommend label clarify benefit. Response: The private utility easement shown on sheet V2 covers both the sewer laterals and water laterals. 10. As mentioned with SDP202100023 review comments, final subdivision and (site plan) major amendment approvals require WP0201600058 Amendment # 4 review and approval. WPO plan approval requires nutrient credit purchase since SDP202100023 Sheet 1 indicates nutrient credits will be purchased. WP0201600058 Amendment # 4 also requires a SWM facility maintenance agreement be recorded, and requires SWM facility and facility access deed of easement be recorded with this final subdivision plat. A public drainage deed of easement will also need to be recorded with this final subdivision plat. WP0201600058 Amendment #4 may be approved prior to nutrient purchase, and prior to plat recordation, but nutrient purchase is required prior to receiving a Grading Permit for grading proposed with the amended plan. Response: Noted. Thank you for your time in the review of this plat. Please let us know if you have any questions or further comments.
