The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the plat referenced above once
the following comments have been addressed: [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is
to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.]
Comments from Site Review Committee (SRC) Conditional Approval Letter (dated September 3, 2021) for
Galaxje Farm Preliminary Plat (SUB202100125) and Initial Site Plan (SDP202100059) applications:
1. 32.5.2 (c); 14-303 (F) and ZMA201800012] Please provide block/phase lines on the plan that correspond with the
block network shown in the Galaxie Farm ZMA. The total number of units proposed in each block must not
exceed the maximum units specified by the block table on Sheet 7 of the ZMA201800012 Application Plan. Unless
the applicant can demonstrate the number of units proposed in each block is consistent with the maximum
permitted by the Application Plan, a Special Exception must be approved by the Board of Supervisors (BOS) to
allow more units in specific blocks. Based on what staff can surmise from the current drawings, the following
blocks propose more units than what is approved per the Application Plan:
a. Block 1: 12 dwelling units allowed, but 14 are proposed. First submittal: Comment stands, as block lines
are not shown. If any block proposes units in excess of what is allowed through the ZMA, a special
exception is needed. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. SE202200021 approved by Board of Supervisors on
June 15, 2022.
b. Block 4: 11 dwelling units allowed, but 13 are proposed. First submittal: Comment stands, as block lines
are not shown. If any block proposes units in excess of what is allowed through the ZMA, a special
exception is needed. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. SE202200021 approved by Board of Supervisors on
June 15, 2022.
c. Block 5: 11 dwelling units allowed, but 13 are proposed. First submittal: Comment stands, as block lines
are not shown. If any block proposes units in excess of what is allowed through the ZMA, a special
exception is needed. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. SE202200021 approved by Board of Supervisors on
June 15, 2022.
2. [ZMA201800012] The proposed layout of streets and lots within Blocks 2, 3, and 8 differ from the approved
Application Plan of ZMA201800012. Specific items to be addressed are as follows:
a. Road E (identified as Vera Rubin Place on the plat/plans) is not located in the same area west of the Block
7 Open Space as shown on the Application Plan. The Application Plan showed the Road E private street in
that location so that amenity -oriented lots could be provided in Block 2 that would front on the private
street and face the Block 7 amenity area. In order to provide Road E (Vera Rubin Place) as shown on the
preliminary plat/initial site plan, the road either needs to be a public road meeting all applicable
VDOT/County public road standards, or a private street authorization request must be approved by the
Planning Commission. If the applicant chooses to pursue the road as a private street, please submit a
written request for authorization of the private street under Section 14-233, and include all supplemental
information required to evaluate the request as specified in Section 14-234. The applicable fee for this
request is $823.68 and the request may be filed with the road plan application. First submittal: Vera Rubin
Place is still proposed to be a public street. A private street authorization reauest was not submitted with
the final plat or road plan application as specified by this comment. Please submit the necessary fee and
justification materials with the next submittal. Rev. 1: Comment addressed. SE202200021 approved by
Board of Supervisors on June 15, 2022.

401 McIntire Road, North Wing, I Charlottesville, VA 22902-4579
b. The private street authorization for Road E was granted through the ZMA so that the private street would
only connect to Road C (Mary Jackson Court) and not connect to Road A.1 (Galaxie Farm Lane). However,
the preliminary plat and initial site plan show Vera Rubin Drive (Road E) now connecting to both Galaxie
Farm Lane (Road A.1) and Mary Jackson Court (Road Q. Moving the private road as proposed will need
approval of a Special Exception application by the Board of Supervisors prior to approval of the road plans,
final site plan and final plat. First submittal: Comment addressed. Curbing has been added to the north
end of Vera Rubin Drive.
c. Block 8 open space area is located east (or in front of) the residential units in Block 3, but the Application
Plan shows Block 8 located to the west of Block 3. Moving the location of Block 8 as proposed will
require approval of a Special Exception application by the Board of Supervisors prior to approval of the
road plans, final site plan and final plat. First submittal: Comment stands, special exception application has
not been submitted. Rev.1: Comment addressed. SE202200021 approved by Board of Supervisors on
June 15, 2022.
d. Please be aware that is the Board of Supervisors does not approve the Special Exception and or private
street authorization request, the final site plan and final plat will need to comply with the requirements of
the ZMA201800012 Application Plan. First submittal: Comment stands pending resolution of comments
#2a and #2c above. Rev.1: Comment addressed. SE202200021 approved by Board of Supervisors on

Reviewer: John Anderson, PE
SUB201-00183; Engineering review comments:
1. V 15: It is unclear if Galaxie Farm Investments has authority to establish private right of way on county -
held property (County of Albemarle School Board). Please confirm (via docum�,m rn,ma,n^ci,�, ci�h
County School Board, etc.) that private right-of-way across County of Albers
has been coordinated with County of Albemarle School Board. (Rev. 1) May persist with future phase
plat. Note: Initial final subdivision plat was not phased.
2. V 13 (which follows 177): Mae Jemison Lane street name does not match ROAD plan ;u c� i name Dial%
Jackson Ct.). Please reconcile. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
3. V 8 appears to be missing, please check, revise plat as needed. (Rev. 1) Withdrawn. NA, phase 1 plat.
4. V5
a. Lot 4 boundary (blue circle) appears ambiguous in location of C8 and lot line 46.79'. Please
ensure all lot lines, Lot 4, are defined. [Image removed withRev. 1 comments.] (Rev. 1)
Addressed.
b. Please provide inset detail for L=0.62', Lot 1, to clarify whether part of C9 or C 12. (Rev. 1)
Addressed.
c. Please direct reviewer to Lot nearest C50; reviewer cannot locate C50. (Rev. 1) NA, phase 1 plat.
5. V2: Please provide deed bk.-pg. ref. for existing access/right-of-way to Shelhorse parcel NW of subdivision
along Ex. Galaxie Farm Lane. This may help explain how proposed Yar Private R/W along this ttavelway
might operate. Yar Private R/W along Galaxie Farm Lane on TMP 91-11 appears to require County of
Albemarle School Board consent. (Rev. 1) NA, phase I plat.
6. VI
a. Provide signature block for County of Albemarle School Board (private right-of-way), TMP 91-
11, as needed. (Rev. 1) NA, phase 1 plat.

Engineering Review Comments
Page 2 of 2
d. Note 18 references SUB202000098, a discontinued Road Plan for a previous layout, a Road Plan
since abandoned. SUB202000098 was not approved. Please revise this note. Neither the active
road plan under review or prior road plan is instrument for SWM facility or SWM access
easements. This subdivision plat includes a SWM easement. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
e. Note 6 appears to conflict with nearly all development streets, which are proposed with public
right-of-way as public streets to be maintained by VDOT. Recommend revise Note to indicate
`some' streets rather than `the streets' which appears to suggest all streets. It is incumbent on
Road Plan design (SUB202100179), construction, and As -built condition to ensure that Marie
Currie Court, Mary Jackson Court, and Galaxie Farm Lane meet VDOT standards sufficient for
acceptance into the secondary system of state highways. (Rev. 1) Persists. Also, item 8.c., below.
7. General
a. Unless overlooked, please provide SWM facility access easement, at V 13 that follows V 12. (Rev.
1) Persists as item 8.a., below.
b. Note: Once all subdivision /easement plat review comments are addressed, Engineering will
format public drainage and SWM facility easement deeds using county attorney office -prepared
templates.
8. New
a. Establish, show, label:
i. Private storm drainage easement for roof leader lines and yard drain conveyance, Lots
12-14, location is approximate since homes are not yet built.
ii. SWM facility access to engineered level spreader (ELS, VSMP WPO202000037
Amendment #2). Engineering recommends locate ELS /SWM facility access easement
across residue (future development) strip beyond public RW, sheet V8.
iii. SWM facility and access easements required by VW202000037 Amendment #2 with
this phase I plat. WPO plan is not phased. Certain lots in Phase 1 require stormwater
control provided by detention basin `A' and ELS. Please plat these SWM facility
easements with Phase 1 plat.
b. Lot 14 lot line appears inconsistent with public RW at Lot 14. Road Plan, 4/29/22, sheet 4, shows
parallel parking, while phase 1 plat does not appear to reflect this. Revise lot lines, Lot 14,
consistent with Road Plan, as needed.
c. Please omit VI Note 6: All streets in phase 1 are public streets to be built to standards for
acceptance into the state system of state highways, to be maintained by VDOT.
d. Provide sheet VI Note that indicates `preserved steep slopes exist on Lots [Name /identify lots]'
or that states `preserved steep slopes exist in Open Space D.'
Thank you.
