RE: SUB - 200800189 Hersey 2 -Lot
Dear Mr. Garrett:
I reviewed Sheet 1 for the note required by Sec. 14 -302A9 that each lot contains a building site that
complies with the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance. The note is there, however I neglected to
comment in my previous comment letter that the parcels stated in the note are not the parcels that are the
subject of the subdivision. Please address this in your resubmittal.
An adjacent property owner came in last week with concerns about the presence of a building site. He
stated that the location of the stream as shown on the plat was not accurate and he was concerned that the
proposed lot does not actually contain a building site that complies with the zoning ordinance. The county
engineer and I reviewed the County GIS more closely and agreed that our aerial photography and
topography, while it does not specifically identify a stream, does indicate the location of the stream in a
slightly different location than the plat. Also, County GIS does not show a required stream buffer.
We note that County GIS is not 100 percent accurate and the information presented is not with the benefit
of a topographic field survey. Therefore, I am not concluding that the information presented on the plat is
inaccurate. The County will accept your seal as a statement of accuracy of the information; however,
because there is a discrepancy I must ask you to please address it.
Please contact me at 296 -5832 x3432 if you have any questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth M. Marotta
Senior Planner
