The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the plan referenced above once the
following comments have been addressed: [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the
Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
Comments to be addressed prior to initial site plan approval:
1. [32.5.2 (a)] The plan identifies the segment of Marchant Street that border the property on the southwest and
southeast/east as a private street, per plat recorded in DB 403 page 592. That plat notes "Dedicated for street
purposes, 50' wide." The County has evidence that the land within the ROW that is the 50' closest to the property
boundaries of TMP 07800-00-00-021HO is owned by the County, and improvements are permissible in that area.
However, ownership of land that is outside of that 50' is uncertain. Please address the following:
a. The scale shown on the drawings appears to be incorrect, so staff cannot verify the boundary of the 50' limits
mentioned above. Please verify the scales and revise if necessary.
b. It appears that some re -surfacing of the existing asphalt along Marchant Street falls outside of the 50' limit. See
image below. If this is true, then the owner must obtain permission from the owners of that land to construct
the proposed improvements.
