Wayne Cilimberg, Director JAN 1 2 1994 Planning and Community Development County of Albemarle Planning Dept. 401 McIntire Road Charlottesville, VA 22901-4596 Re: Redfields, Phase 2-A SUB 93-105 Albemarle Cu., Vii giliia Dear Wayne, The purpose of this letter is to formally request your acceptance of the Phase 2-A subdivision plat as drawn (1"=60'). Don Franco, PE, Engineering Department,has brought to my attention that the scale of the plat as submitted by this office does not meet the scale requirements as indicated in your memo, Scale of Drawings, dated August 12, 1993 and circulate to local consultants. Also the plat lettering height when reduced will be less than pica (10cpi). This plat was prepared in accordance with the layout, scale and lettering used in the previous Redfields Phases 1-A, 1-B and 1-C. These phases have been approved the county and recorded among the land records in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Albemarle County. I believe that the Phase 2-A plat when reduced to 11"x17" will be acceptable for your files. I have advised my staff to be aware of the reduction requirements used by your department and in the future made the necessary enlarging of the text to insure the final text height. As per our recent telephone conversation I am enclosing a copy of the Standards for Plats prepared by the Virginia State Library Board for you information. I trust the above explanation adequately addresses your concerns. If you have any questions :egard_ng the above, please do not hesitate to contact me or my office Thank you for your assistance in reviewing the above.

Wayne Cilimberg, Director of Planning and Community fC, Development (/ DATE: August 12, 1993 RE: SCALE OF DRAWINGS The Subdivision Ordinance requires preliminary and final plats to be drawn to a scale of one inch equals one hundred feet. The site development plan regulations of the Zoning Ordinance require preliminary and final site development plans to be drawn to a scale of one inch equals twenty feet. Application plans for planned developments and proffered rezoning plans should be drawn to a scale comparable to that required for subdivisions or site plans. In each case, I am authorized to accept plans/plats drawn to another scale. Please be advised that alternative scale plans will only be accepted if: a) request is made prior to drawing of such plan; and b) all members of the Site Review Committee agree to such alternative scale. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Ron Keeler of my staff. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
