RE: SUB 06 -376: Ashcroft West Preliminary Subdivision Plat
Dear Mr. Shimp:
The Board of Supervisors, at its June 13, 2007 meeting, approved the appeal of the denial of the private
streets waiver request. As such, the waiver of Section 14 -234 of the Subdivision Ordinance to allow the use
of private streets has been granted. With this waiver, the Department of Planning and Community
Development hereby grants administrative approval to the above - referenced preliminary plat. The approval
of the preliminary site plan is valid for (1) one year in accordance with Subdivision Ordinance Section
32.4.3.1. Therefore, the preliminary approval shall expire June 13, 2008. If the preliminary plat approval
expires, a new application must be filed and processed.
The preliminary plat may be valid for five (5) years from the date it is approved, pursuant to Section 14 -228
of Chapter 14 of the Albemarle County Code, provided that the subdivider submits a final plat for all or a
portion of the property within one (1) year (June 13, 2008) of the approval as provided in section 14 -221, and
thereafter diligently pursues approval of the final plat. After three (3) years (June 13, 2010) following
preliminary plat approval, the agent may, after ninety (90) days' written notice provided by certified mail to
the subdivider, revoke the approval upon a specific finding of facts that the subdivider failed to diligently
pursue approval of the final plat. The failure to officially submit a final plat as provided in section 14 -221
within the one (1) year period shall render the approval of the preliminary plat null and a new application
must be filed and processed.
Please address all of the requirements and conditions listed below and submit eight (8) tentative plat copies to
the Department of Community Development. This letter must be submitted with the tentative plats, as a
checklist, to document that you have addressed all requirements or conditions, or the tentative plat will be
denied.
Erosion and Sediment Control, BMP Stormwater Management, and road plans with the associated
applications and fees must also be submitted with the eight (8) tentative Plats.
Once the tentative plan is submitted and reviewed, you will receive comments from all
departments /divisions /agencies that have made comment on the tentative plan. Any further responses
must be made directly to each department /division /agency that has further comment. After all
aforementioned departments /divisions /agencies have granted a tentative approval, you must verify with
the Planner that you may submit the final plat mylar (or other original medium), the final plat
application, and any remaining fees to the Department of Community Development. Assuming that the
final plat reflects all tentative approvals, signing of the plat will occur within four days.
The final plat will be subject to all final plat requirements (Subdivision Ordinance Section 14.206), in
addition to the following conditions.
The Department of Community Development shall not accept submittal of the final plat for signature until
tentative approvals for the following conditions have been obtained. The final plat shall not be signed until the
following conditions are met:
Zoning & Current Development approval to include:
❑ Conditions of the ZMA require County attorney approval of Homeowner Association
documents including any maintenance agreement.
