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 nlat for Block M has been assi¢ned the application

to the Block DI plat (now SUB2021-00165), and those comments that relate to only the Block D 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
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.

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. Response: Revision date has been updated to this revision.
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.

revised.
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

Comment addressed.
19. Lot 40 has no information provided for it. This information has not been corrected. Comment

development areas must be submitted to the Community Development Department, with

the note about the required setbacks for this property. (See the bottom left-hand corner of the plat.)

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.
Response: Flora Bend has been revised to Purple Flora Bend.

a. Private alley and ACSA easement should be shown as separate easements.
i. Please revise labels and linework to a show private alley easement that is 30' wide.
ii. Please also show separate linework and label for the ASCA utility easement, including
slight differences in these two easements.
iii. Please separate labels that currently read `New 30' ACSA Private Alley Easement' into
separate labels to distinguish easement held by ACSA, easement held by HOA.

Private Alley Easement,' to avoid confusion.'
Response: All of these labels have been revised.
