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.]
[32.6.2(i)] The five (5) shared parking spaces as shown on page 2 of the plat are not shown on an approved
site plan. We cannot approve a shared parking easement plat showing the location of parking spaces that do
not meet ordinance requirements and are not shown on an existing approved plan. However, the approved site
plan for the Halifax House property, SDP198500003, does show seven (7) available parking spaces adjacent
to the existing building at 3447. Staff recommends revising the plat to show the spaces to be shared will be
the existing spaces which were approved and shown on SDP198500003. Comment addressed.
a. Once the Halifax House site plan is approved, the shared parking easement plat can then be amended
to show shared parking spaces in the area as shown on the plat. If the plan is to open the DS Tavern
before the Halifax House site improvements have been made, the shared parking spaces are going to
need to be the ones that officially exist as shown on that approved plan.
2. [14-301] When resubmitting the Plat, please submit the Plat as a separate resubmittal document. The initial
submission of this applications combined the plat and the application into one document. Comment
addressed.
a. Digital resubmissions can be made online here.
3. [14-302(A)(4)] Ensure the private parking access easement covers the parking spaces in addition to the access
aisle. Label and quantify the number of shared parking spaces. If amending the plat as recommended in
Comment #1 above, please extend the private parking access easement down the length of the existing access
aisle and ensure to cover the spaces to be shared. Comment addressed.
4. [14-303(N)] Include the following note: 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 in substantially the same condition as
originally approved by the County may constitute a violation of County ordinance(s). Comment addressed.
5. Please include a date of revision. Comment addressed.
6. [14-302(A)(4) and 4.12.81 Submit a revised shared parking agreement. The County Attorney's office has
provided an example (attached). Please be more specific in the agreement when referring to the parking spaces
and quantify them. The agreement does not need to include any language about maintenance. Comment
addressed.
