An approved road plan is required prior to final plat approval. Road plan (SUB202100149) review comments were sent to Applicant, 10/19/21. Note: In addition, roads must be built or bonded prior to final plat approval. 2. Note: WPO202100041 was approved 12/17/21. 3. Maintenance agreement(s) will be required prior to building permit approval for retaining walls that cross property lines. All other Engineering final plat review comments are addressed. SUB2021-00165 HTC Area C Townhomes Block III 1. Engineering recommends final plat include Lot Area — Buildable Area table since every lot includes significant new 30' access, private alley, sanitary sewer, or storm sewer easement/s which may not be built within, over, or upon. A table may help highlight this circumstance which may in turn limit mishap or misunderstanding during construction. No portion of a dwelling or constructed improvement may occupy any portion of these easements. This is a recommendation, not a requirement. 2. Clarify distinction between new 30' access easement and new 30' private alley easement. If no distinction, recommend identical label; either: access or private alley easement. Albemarle County Information Services (E911) Elise Kiewra, ekiewragalbemarle.org — No objections at this time. Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) Richard Nelson, melsonanserviceauthority.org — Review pending; comments will be forwarded to applicant upon receipt by Planning staff.
