A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION Serving Virginia Since 1956 June 30,2022 Mariah Gleason Community Development - Planning, County of Albemarle 401 McIntire Road, North Wing, Charlottesville, VA 22902 Subject. SUB202100167— Glenbrook Phase 111— Final Plat — Comments 6-3-2022 7. [14-302 (13)(5)] Zoning. b. Please clarify which parcels are subject to specific overlay districts and rezonings as not all of the subject properties are subject to all of the above. i. Revise Note 5 to state that only TMP 56A2-1-62 is subject to the rezoning and proffers of ZMA2016-00005. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. Revise Note 5 to state more specifically that "ZMA2016-00005 and its proffers apply to TMP56A2-01-62". Rev. 2: Comment not fully addressed. Following the recent approval of ZMA2021- 00015 on May 4, 2022, Note 5 on the cover sheet should be revised to state: "... The area of TMP 56A2-01-62 is subject to the rezoning and proffers of ZMA2021-00015 and ZMA2016-00005... ... RGA Response: Note 5 has been revised. 15. [14-317] Maintenance instruments. Maintenance instruments will be needed for all improvements shown on the plat, such as alleyways, the private street, etc. Additional maintenance instruments may be necessary if the development makes use of the approved variation to the private street sidewalks and planting strips (see Zoning comment above) and retaining walls that were proposed in the initial site plan and preliminary plat. The final list of required maintenance instruments will depend on revisions to the plat. Rev. 2: Comment remains. a) As mentioned previously, the Board of Supervisors was considering a zoning subdivision text amendment which, if adopted, effected a note on this plat. That amendment was adopted on Feb 16th, effective immediately, and thus requires Note 20 on the plat to be replaced with the following statement: "Unless specifically denoted as public, the streets and other required improvements in this subdivision are private in nature and will not be maintained by either the Virginia Department of Transportation or any other public agency. The maintenance thereof is the mutual obligation of the affected lot owners. Failure to maintain the improvements 999 Second Street SE. Charlottesville. VA 22902. www.Roudabush.com 434.977.0205 Glenbrook Phase III —Subdivision Plat in substantially the same condition as originally approved by the County may constitute a violation of County ordinance(s). RGA Response: Note 20 has been revised. b) The conditions attached to the special exception associated with this plat (for the modified sidewalks and planting strips along the private street section of Humboldt St) supersede the newly adopted subdivision section mentioned above. One of the conditions of the special exception is: "A maintenance agreement for the sidewalks and planting strips associated with the private street must be recorded with the final plat". Agreements satisfying the special exception condition will be needed for County review and approval prior to final plat approval. Please submit the aforementioned material when ready. RGA Response: Maintenance Agreements will be provided. 19. [Comment] Reminder that revised plats must include the original date of drawing and the revision date(s) of each subsequent version of the plat. RGA Response: Noted. Revision dates are updated. 22. [14-302(A)(3-5)] Sidewalks and planting strips associated with the private street section of Humboldt St. a. On Sheet V22, please also show an easement for the relocated planting strip that would otherwise be required along the private street section of Humboldt St. The planting strip easement should be a private easement at least 6ft in width. Be advised, the easement should align with the road plan (SUB202100155) and capture street tree locations proposed in the rear of Lots 56-65 and Lots 86-97. b. The "6ft Private Sidewalk Easement" and the private planting strip easement— noted in the comment above — will both need to be noted on the Cover Sheet as "private easement(s) to remain open to public use". c. Assign ownership of the sidewalk and planting strip facilities to an HOA, or another appropriate entity, in the Cover Sheet notes. RGA Response: Note has been revised. The easements have been slightly revised due to plan changes. 23. [14-303(E)] Dimensions. e. On the inset map of Open Space F and G provided on Sheet VI 1: i. Label Open Space G. Rev. 2: Comment Partially addressed. Likely due to a clerical error, the Open Space was labeled "Open Space C". instead of "Open Space G. Please revised accordingly. RGA Response: Label has been corrected. Additional comments based on revised plan dated 4-21-2022 999 Second Street SE. Charlottesville. VA 22902. www.Roudabush.com Page 2 of 4 Glenbrook Phase III —Subdivision Plat 26. [14-302(A), Sec. 2.2, Sec. 4.7] Open space. This version of the plat revised private rights -of - ways (e.g. alleyways and parking spaces) from separately platted areas to easements and generally divided their land areas between abutting lots and open spaces. As a cluster development, this development is required to provide a minimum amount of open space. Per Sec. 4.7(b), alley and parking areas are not permitted uses within open spaces. Therefore, alleys and parking areas will need to be removed from open space areas. Please review and revise the plat accordingly. (Note: Platting alleys and adjacent parking areas can be done as private rights -of - way, as proposed in the previous version of the plat.) RGA Response: Roads have been returned to private alleys as shown on previous plat submittal version. 27. [Comment] Does Note 17 of the Cover Sheet correctly identify the intended name for the HOA? If not, please update the language to more generally reference a homeowner's association. RGA Response: Note has been revised to HOA. 28. [Comment] On Sheet V2, add a leader line from the "Existing 20' Emergency Access Road and Bicycle & Pedestrian Path Easement" label to said feature location. It looks like the leader line dropped off in this iteration of the plat. RGA Response: Leader added. 29. [14-302(A)(4-5)] Public and private easements. Easements were revised, added, and removed in this iteration of the plat. a. The revised plat shows site distance easements in locations that differ from the last version of the road plan. What lead to the changes in the site distance easement locations? For examples, please see Leeham Court, Open Space C, and the Apartment Block. RGA Response: Plat was revised to match plan revisions. b. The final site plan proposes a site distance easement on Open Space B that is not included on the final plat. Please review and revise accordingly. RGA Response: Sight distance easement is now shown on Open Space B. c. Generally, identify whether easements are "new" or "existing" (see easements for ACSA, sanitary laterals, storm drainage, private wall easement, sidewalk and landscape maintenance, etc.). If it is an existing easement, provide the deed book and page number for the recorded instrument. RGA Response: All existing easements are labeled as existing with the DB & PG or INST #. Any easement not labeled as existing is assumed to be newly created upon this plat. 999 Second Street SE. Charlottesville. VA 22902. www.Roudabush.com Page 3 of 4 Glenbrook Phase III —Subdivision Plat d. Show the location of the proposed revised 20' Emergency Access Road and Bicycle & Pedestrian Path Easement on Sheets V21 and V22 in relation to the lots and storm drainage easements sheet. This information was shown on previous versions of the plat but was removed from this version, presumably due to the easement's realignment being processed as a separate plat. However, the plat will need to depict how all improvements located on the subject parcel coordinate together. RGA Response: 20' Easement is now shown on requested sheets. e. If alleyways and associated parking areas will be designated as "private easements", the Cover Sheet notes should designate the owners of these easements. RGA Response: Now shown as private alley's as before instead of easements. 30. [Comment] Process. Since the change to the existing 20ft Emergency Access Road and Bicycle & Pedestrian Path Easement is now being reviewed and recorded under a separate easement plat, its recording instrument will need to be noted on this plat prior to final plat approval. Please add this information once known. RGA Response: Recording information has been added. Other SRC reviewers: Albemarle County Engineering Services (Engineer) Matthew Wentland RGA Response: Noted Albemarle County Parks & Recreation Tim Padalino RGA Response: Noted Thank you for taking the time to review this plat. Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information. There have been additional changes due to revisions to the site plan, Tyler R. Jamison 999 Second Street SE.
