WWW.ALBEMARLE.ORG 401 McIntire Roadl Charlottesville, VA 22902-4596 Sincerely, k"* Mariah Gleason Senior Planner It, Community Development mgleason@albemarle.org CC: DEBORAH J TEWKSBURY, 1165 PEN PARK ROAD CHARLOTTESVILLE VA, 22901 WWW.ALBEMARLE.ORG 401 McIntire Roadl Charlottesville, VA 22902-4596 Albemarle County Planning Services (Planner) - Mariah Gleason, mgleason@albmarle.org - Requests Changes PRIOR TO FINAL PLAT APPROVAL: 1. [14-302(A)(5), 14-302(A)(14)] Right of Way Dedication. The area proposed for dedication, Area "E", should be labelled as "hereby dedicated to public use" in place of "dedicated to public right of way". 2. [Advisory Comment] Right of Way Dedication. Consider revising the dedication area and front lot lines to align with abutting properties corners. This would reduce the number of jagged edges in the public right-of-way and contribute to a more orderly development pattern. 3. [14-302(B)(8)] Yards. a. Infill yard regulations apply to these lots. As such update the Setback Requirements on Sheet C-100 to the following: i. Front (minimum): Closest setback of an existing main building within 500 feet in each direction along the same side of the street fronted. (No Maximum) ii. Garage (minimum): Front loading attached or detached garage: Whichever is greater between the closest setback of an existing main building within 500 feet in each direction along the same side of the street fronted or 18 feet from the right-of-way or the exterior edge of the sidewalk if the sidewalk is outside of the right-of-way. Side loading garage: Closest setback of an existing structure within 500 feet in each direction along street fronted. (No Maximum) iii. Side (minimum): 10 feet, unless the building shares a common wall (No Maximum) iv. Rear (minimum): 20 ft b. The existing building to remain does not meet the required side setback of 10ft. Revise the plat to provide a side setback of 10ft or apply for a special exception to reduce the minimum side setback on the proposed parcel. See Sec 18-33.5 and 18-33.9 for more information. Be advised, applying for the special exception does not guarantee approval. Staff will review the information provided with the request and make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. Note: Per conversations and correspondence with the applicant, Comment #3 is subject to change. Staff will follow up internally with Zoning Division staff to determine whether the proposed parcels will be considered "infill" or "non-infill" development. 4. [14-302(A)(14)] Topography. Provide offsite topography for areas surrounding the subject property, at a distance that is no less than fifty (50) feet outside of the site. 5. [14-302(A)(4-5)] Utility pole. Demonstrate that you have the ability to relocate the existing utility pole as shown. The utility pole will need to be relocated to an appropriate easement area, either one that exists already or a new one. 6. [14-302(A)(8)] Proposed lots. This appears to be a minor clerical error but on Sheets C-100 and C-102, all new lots are identified as Lot 1. Please revise the plat maps to identify proposed parcels as Lots 1, 2, 3, 4. 7. [14-302(A)(9)] Building site. Please revise Note 3 such that "Albemarle County Ordinance" is amended to "Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance". Failing to specify the *zoning ordinance` results in an incorrect code reference. 8. [18-15.6] Lot size. Please revise the lot size notes under the Subdivision Data on Sheet C-101 to identify 7,260 sq ft as the "Minimum Lot Size", instead of maximum. 9. [14-302(B)] Reservoir watershed. Note whether the subject properties are within a water supply watershed. 10. [14-302(A)(2)] Vicinity map. As there are two subject parcels, identify both parcels in the vicinity map. This could be done with a fill pattern or box around the subject area. 11. [Advisory Comment] In looking between Sheets C-100 and C-101, the distance for line L14 did not appear to be right. Just bringing this to your attention. 12. [Advisory Comment] On Sheet C-101, please remove the duplicate Water Easement Line Table.
