IN( ALeziti kPI cPy of ate DEPARTMENT of PLANNING and COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22901-4596 October 10 , 1985 804296-5823 Mr. Wendell Wood United Land Corporation of America P. O. Box 5548 Charlottesville, VA 22903 RE: Wendell Wood Final Plat Dear Mr. Wood: The Albemarle County Planning Commission, at its meeting on October 8 , 1985 , unanimously denied the above noted final plat. This plat was denied on the grounds that the plan does not comply with the Albemarle County Subdivision Ordinance in the following respects : 1 . Public road access is inadequate (Section 18-37(m) ) ; • 2 . Access has not been provided to all proposed lots of the subdivision (Section 18-37(o) ) ; 3 . Sewer easements have not been shown on final plat (Section 18-12 ) . The following changes will make the project approvable: 1 . Show specific location of access onto U. S. Route 29; 2 . Provide means of access to all lots on final plat (delineate access easements) ; 3 . Show location of sewer easements on final plat. Please note that the inclusion of the above items may affect the overall feasibility of this subdivision. Once adequate information is supplied to allow proper review of this proposal, further recommendations and subsequent conditions may be necessitated for the approval of the plat. If you should have any questions regarding the above noted action, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, 3tff-ligga David Benish Planner DB/jcw Wendell Wood Final Plat - Located on the west side or Route 1 and north of Hilton Heights Road, adjacent to Hilton Hotel site. Proposal to divide a 4 .04 acre parcel averaging 36 , 949 square feet. Tax Map 45, parcel C, 68D4 . Charlottesville Magisterial District. Mr. Benish gave the staff report. He stated staff was recommending denial of the plan because it did not comply with the Subdivision Ordinance in the following respects : (1) Public road access is inadequate; (2) Access has not been provided to all proposed lots of the subdivision; and (3) Sewer easements have not been shown on final plat. He explained that staff has not had sufficient time to review the plat and though the information had been requested from the applicant, it had not been supplied by the applicant at the time of revision. The Chairman invited applicant comment. Oe.t. 8, 198 S' October 8 , 1985 Page 4 Mr. Wendell Wood addressed the Commission and offered the following comments: --It is not known at this time where the entrance on 29 will be. --The Ordinance regulations are familiar to the applicant and will be complied with (i.e. the entrance will be at least 500 feet from the intersection) . --Sewer easements are not known at this time because the locations of buildings have not been determined. --Applicant is attempting to subdivide the land so that these issues can be determined. --The condition imposed by the Commission limiting the parcel to one access means that cross easements will be necessary. --It is stated on the plat that the property is limited to one easement and that cross easements will be provided for each purchaser. There being no public comment, the matter was placed before the Commission. Mr. Skove moved that the Wendell Wood Final Plat be denied for the following reasons: (1) Public road access is inadequate; (2) Access has not been provided to all proposed lots of the subdivision; and (3) Sewer easements have not been shown on final plat. The project can be approved when the following changes have been made: (1) Show specific location of access onto U.S. Route 29; (2) Provide means of access to all lots on final plat (delineate access easements) ; and (3) Show location of sewer easements on final plat. Ms. Diehl seconded the motion. Discussion: Mr. Cogan indicated he understood Mr. Wood' s position and asked if some of the concerns could be addressed with conditions on the plat and taken care of at site review. Mr. Bowerman asked Mr. Payne when easements are generally noted on a plat. Mr. Payne replied that they are required to be shown on the plat by the Subdivision Ordinance, i.e. access easements and utility easements . Ms. Diehl stated that approving this "in this fashion" would be opposed to the terms of the ordinance. Mr. Cogan stated that if the Subdivision Ordinance requires that the easements must be shown, "that speaks for itself. " October 8 , 1985 Page 5 Mr. Payne suggested that a way to handle this situation would be for the site plan to be approved first and then tailor the subdivision plat to fit the site plan, not vice versa. Mr. Cogan interpreted this as meaning that the easements must be shown, and if it is found later that they do not fit the site plan, then a request can be made to relocate the easement. The Chairman called for a vote on the previously-stated motion for denial. The motion for denial of the Wendell Wood Final Plat was passed unanimously. The applicant then asked why the Commission could not have deferred the item, so that he would not have to go through a whole new filing process. The Chairman stated that was not possible since the applicant had had all the facts before him and had had the opportunity to address the issues before this meeting. He added that the Commission is not going to continue to defer items which are incomplete when they come before the Commission.
