Memorandum
To: Mr. Wayne Cilimberg
Albemarle County Planning Department
From: Mr. Fred Missel, ASLA
The Cox Company —
Re: Redfields Phase 2-A
Request for Plat Scale Modification
This memorandum serves as a request to allow a minor modification to the
scale and sheet size of the Redfields Phase 2-A Final Plat and Site 6 4s-
Improvement Drawings. �,,r-
�
As you are aware, the required scale is 1"=100' for plats and 1"=20' for a Y
rc _�'0)1
Subdivision Plans as indicated by Section 18-45 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
The submitted drawings for Phase 2-A at Redfields are at 1 "=60' and 1"=30'
respectively. We are requesting that, at a minimum, Phase 2-A and Phase 2-B
(pending) be approved using this modified scale for the following reasons.
1. All previous plans to date including Phase 1-A, 1-B, 1-C,
and Recreation Center have been drawn at 1"=30 and
1"=60'. The acceptance of these plans has set a
precedent within our office for drawing production. This is
the firsttime the issue of scale and size has been raised or
commented on by the County.
2. The Improvement Plans which supplement the Plat are
not considered either Plans or Plats and, therefore, should
not be judged using the criteria for these documents.
3. The Plat documents are shown at a larger scale and
larger sheet size which increases readability and
cohesiveness with the total package.

4. We have committed significant time and effort to the
drafting of the Improvement Plans. We are conscious of
maintaining high clarity and readability during the drafting
process. Please note thatthese were done primarily by
hand. Alteration of the scale from 1"=30' to 1"=20'would
require a great commitment of additional time and effort
and would not significantly affect the clarity of an already
clear plan.
Based on these points,we respectfully request a waver of the Plat scale and
size guidelines set forth in the Subdivision Ordinance (Section 18-45). We would
ask that the remainder of Redfields be acceptable at the Plat Scale 1"=60'
and Improvement Plans at 1"=30'. If this is not acceptable, we would request
that at least Section 2-A and 2-B be given the waver as much work has
occurred in this office on these sections to date.
I have discussed this subject with Ms. Yolanda Hipski and Mr. Don Franco at
length. Thank you for your time and please feel free to call with questions or
comments.
