Re: SUB202100204 Brookhill Blocks 9-11 Final Plat— First Review Comments
Dear Cameron,
We received your comments regarding the project above dated January 13, 2022 and offer the following
responses:
1. [14-302 (A)(4) and 14-302 (A)(5)] Prior to final plat approval, all existing easement labels/callouts must
be updated to state the recorded instrument number that created the easements. See Engineering Division
comments #1 and #2 for further information.
a. Easements should be clearly labeled on all sheets where visible, please revise.
Response: Labels have been added to sheets V3-V6. Instrument number updated on sheet V2.
2. [14-302 (A)(14) and 14-428] Per note 10 on Sheet V1, the streets shown on this plat are being
dedicated to public use for public right-of-way. However, the labels on Sheets V2-V6 state "Future" before
the road names and the label below the name states the instrument number for the recorded plat that
reserved the ROW.
a. Please revise the road name labels on Sheets V3-V6 so that it states "hereby dedicated to public use"
and does not state "future."
b. The labels on Sheet V2 can still reference the recorded instrument that reserved rights -of -way for
dedication.
Response: Labels on V3 — V5 have been updated.
3. [14-302 (B)(1)] Please add a date of last revision.
Response: Revision date added.
4. [14-303 (C) and 14-303 (E)] On some sheets, it is difficult to identify the symbols/monuments that
identify where linear and curve line segments begin/end. Is there any way that the symbology can be
revised to be more legible? Lines C197-C203 on Sheet V3 are the most difficult to ascertain on the current
version of the plat.
Response: The endpoint symbols have been enlarged for clarity.
5. [14-303 (C)] On Sheet V5, please move the labels for the line segments measuring 61.03' and 44.02'
along the perimeter of Open Space B. The labels currently overlap and obscure the proposed parcel
boundary for Open Space B.
Response: Labels have been relocated.
6. [14-303 (F)] Please show the block boundaries for Blocks 9, 10 and 11 somewhere on the plat and
identify which lots are located in the blocks.
Response: Blocks shown.

7. [14-303 (G)] Please provide a note on Sheet V1 that identifies who will own and maintain all proposed
open space areas.
Response: Note added (#15)
8. [14-316] Prior to final plat approval, all VDOT comments must be addressed. Please see attached VDOT
comments for further information.
Response: See below.
9. [14-317] An instrument evidencing maintenance of all required improvements that will not be owned or
maintained by the County is required with the final plat. This includes private open space and any private
easements. Please be aware that a text amendment is going to the County Board of Supervisors in March
2022 that will revise this Code section. The text amendment is going to result in elimination of the need
for a separate instrument evidencing maintenance of private improvements to be submitted/reviewed/
recorded as part of the final plat review. Instead, a note will only need to be added to the plat once the
text amendment is adopted. More information will be forthcoming.
Response: We will wait for the resolution to pass on February 16. 1 have added the proposed note
(note #14).
10. [14-414] Prior to final plat approval, the applicant must obtain approval from ACSA.
Response: See ACSA comment below.
11. [14-417] Please see Engineering Division comment #3 and add the requested note to the plat.
Response: Note added(#18).
Engineering Comments:
1. Easements should be labeled on all sheets, or a note/label similar to, "existing
easement -see sheet V2 for easement label/type."
Response: Easements have been labeled throughout.
2. Will easements from SUB202100034 be recorded before this plat is recorded? If
so, the DB & PG should be filled in.
Response: Easement plat recorded. Instrument numbers filled in.
3. Please add the following note:
The existing SWIM Forest and Open Space Easement is subject to the guidance set forth by DEQ in the
Virginia Stormwater Management Program. The areas will remain undisturbed in a natural, vegetated
state, except for activities as approved by the local program authority, such as forest management, control
of invasive species, replanting and revegetating, passive recreation (e.g., trails), and limited bush hogging to
maintain desired vegetative community (but no more than four times a year).
Response: Note added(#18)
VDOT Comments:
1. Approved Road plans meeting SSAR, and in compliance with the VDOT Road Design Manual are
required prior to plat approval.
Response: It looks like road plans were approved on 10/26 (SUB202000082).
2. Please include a note stating that "VDOT will only maintain within drainage easements to the extent
necessary to protect the roadway from flooding or damage."
Response: Note added(#17)

3. Please include a note "Landscaping plants and trees adjacent to the sight distance triangle will need to
be maintained in area between 2 and 7 feet above ground as a clear zone to preserve sight lines and
accommodate pedestrians. The HOA will be responsible for the maintenance of sight lines."
Response: Note added(#16)
ACSA Comments:
A note should be added that ACSA easements are to be centered on as -built locations.
Response: Note added to sheet V2 below other existing easement information.
Thank you for taking the time to review this plat. Please let me know if you have any questions.
