SUB202100065 Brookhill Blocks 16 & 17 Easement Plat
Dear Cameron,
We received your comments regarding the project above dated January 28, 2022 and offer the following
responses:
7. [14-302 (A)(5)] All public drainage and SWM easements will need a deed of dedication. Staff with the
Engineering Division will draft these deed templates once the plat is resubmitted to address comments for
revisions needed to the actual plat. The templates will be returned to you during a future review once this
plat is re -submitted. See Engineering Division comment #2 for further information. Rev. 1: Comment
stands, see attached Engineering Division comments. Rev. 2: Comment stands, see attached
Engineering Division comments.
Response: Noted. Please provide when ready.
11. [14-312 (A)(3)] Please see attached VDOT comment #5 and Engineering comments. Road plans must
be approved prior to final plat approval. Rev. 1: See attached Engineering Division comments. Rev. 2:
Comment stands, road plans not yet approved.
Response: Acknowledged. Please note, the plat has been updated to incorporate changes from latest
Road Plan submittal.
12. [14-317] The revised plat now shows retaining wall easements crossing private lot lines. Retaining
wall easements crossing private lot lines require approval and recordation of a maintenance agreement. A
template for the private improvement maintenance agreement is attached. Please complete it and the
corresponding checklist and submit with the next submittal. Rev. 2: Please be aware that a text
amendment is going to the County Board of Supervisors to amend the requirements of this Code
section on February 16, 2022. If the amendment is approved, a separate instrument for
maintenance of the private improvements within private easements (in this case, the retaining wall
easements) will no longer be required to be reviewed/approved by the County prior to plat
approval. A note will simply need to be added to the plat. Please contact staff after February 16,
and the exact language for the note will be sent to the applicant if the text amendment is approved.
Response: Note has been added to plat on V1 (note #12).

1. WP0202100007 must be approved before subdivision can be approved. Rev. 1: Comment still
applies. Rev.2: Comment still applies.

3. SWM facility and drainage easements will need associated deeds. The county will
provide these when the plat is ready for final signatures. Please do not provide any deeds. Rev. 1:
Comment still applies. Rev.2: Comment still applies.
Response: Noted. Please provide when ready.
5. Retaining walls that cross lot lines will need to be in an easement and have a maintenance
agreement. The WPO and road plan showed walls crossing lot lines, but there does not
appear to be an easement on this plat. Please ensure it is shown if necessary. Rev. 1: Easement shown.
Maintenance agreement necessary. Rev. 2: Comment still applies. See Planning staff comments for
further information.
Response: See response to Planning comment 12 above.
7. Rev. 2: It is engineering's understanding that SUB202000189 for the greenway was
recorded and the deed book and page should be shown on this plat.
Response: The greenway parcel (TMP 46-19B9) has been created and is shown throughout with the
corresponding db/pgreference.
