SUB2022-00178 Montgomery Ridge Phase 4 Preliminary Plat
1. [14-409(B)] Extension ofstreets. The public streets in this development must be extended and constructed to the
abutting property lines for future development on adjoining lands. At least one of the public streets in this
development must be extended to the property line of adjacent TMP 46-26, including reservation of any necessary
temporary construction easements of sufficient area to allow future completion when developed.
2. [18-30.2.61 Cluster development, bonus factors. The Planning Commission must consider this application, as the
PC must determine that a development located in the Airport Impact Area overlay district and using the cluster
development or bonus factor provisions or regulations will reduce or be equivalent to hazard and/or noise impacts
anticipated under standard -level conventional development of the underlying zoning district.
3. [14-422] Sidewaiksand p/antingstdps. The request to vary the requirements for providing sidewalks and planting
strips on both sides of a public street must be approved by the Planning Commission prior to approval of a
preliminary subdivision plat. Because these requests were submitted as a separate application (SUB2022-00190),
see the separate comment section below that provides comments specifically on the sidewalk and planting strip
waiver requests.
4. [14-303] The final subdivision plat must demonstrate compliance with all requirements of Section 14-303 of the
Subdivision Ordinance and include all of the items listed in that section.
5. [34-302(A)4; 14-302(A)6] Identify the private easement that currently gives access to the subject parcel (TMP 46-
24) along the Powell Ridge road, including its deed book and page number and the width of the right-of-way.
It appears that private grading easements will be required on adjacent parcels, such as TMPs 46D-40, 46D-39, and
46D-B1. These easements will need to be shown on the final plat or on a separate easement plat, with the
respective property owners' signatures.
6. [34-302(A)5] Proposed public easements, such as for stormwater management, will need to be shown on the final
subdivision plat. These easements may require deeds.
7. [34-302(A)8] The area of each proposed new lot needs to be provided.
8. [34-302(A)14] The land of parcel 46D-A2 needs to be included in the calculations of property to be dedicated to
the County, since it is proposed to be a part of this subdivision.
9. [34-302(A)8] The name and a mailing address for the property owner of TMP 46D-A2 needs to be included on this
plat, as this property is proposed to be a part of this subdivision.
10. [34-302(B)1] The date of the last revision of the plat needs to be included on all future submittals of the plat.
11. [34-302(B)5] The note on the cover sheet and the labelling of the preserved steep slope areas need to be revised.
These areas are not being re-classified as managed steep slopes. Only the Board of Supervisors can re-classify steep
slopes through a rezoning. The preserved slope areas are being "treated" as managed steep slopes if they have a
slope of less than 25%.
12. [34-302(B)8] There is a label on Lot 14 indicating a 25-ft. max. setback. Remove this label, as there is no maximum
setback requirement for the R-1 zoning district.
13. [14-311] With the final subdivision plat, the required infrastructure plans, computations, and documents will need
to be submitted.
14. [14-316] Approval of all entrances onto public streets will be required prior to approval of the final subdivision plat.
15. [34-303(N)] The following statement will need to be on the final plat: "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)."
16. [14-400; 18-13.3)] The plat needs to demonstrate that all buildable lots (not open space, special lots, ROW, etc.)
are a minimum of 20,000 square feet and have a minimum of 80 feet of road frontage (allowing for reduced frontage
for those lots located on cul-de-sacs).
17. [14-400;18-13.3)] Lots 2 and 6 do not appear to be meeting the front setback requirement. The front setback must
be measured at 5-ft. from the spot where the lots measure 80 feet across on the front side of the parcel.
18. [38-2.4.3(a)] A conservation plan that is compliant with Section 32.7.9 must be submitted as a part of the request
for a bonus factor for environmental standards.
19. [14-431] Easements for stormwater management facilities will be required for this development These easements
will need to be approved and recorded prior to or at the same time as the final subdivision plat.
20. [General Comment] A road plan will be required for this development.
21. [General Comment] Please note that additional comments may be provided with the submission and review of the
final subdivision plat for this project.
SUB2022-00190 Montgomery Ridge Phase 4 - Planting Strip and Sidewalk Variation/Waiver Requests
1. In reviewing these requests, it appears that most of the sidewalk and planting strip areas that are proposed to be
varied/waived are located on the property (TMP 46D-A2) owned by the Montgomery Ridge Owners Association,
with only a portion also located on TMP 46-24, owned by Heahmor LLC. Because of this situation, an authorized
representative of the Montgomery Ridge Owners Association must also sign the application for the requested
variations/waivers. Heahmor LLC cannot sign a variation/waiver request on behalf of the other property owner.
2. The applicant's justification for the variation/waiver requests mentions that the width of the existing parcel where
the new street is proposed is 40 feet. However, the combined with of the proposed improvements listed is only 39
feet. What is the other one -foot segment proposed to be?

The referenced preliminary plat has been reviewed by Engineering. Please refer to comments provided
below.
1. [14-302.A.5] —Easements.
a. Call -out the proposed public easement around the SWM facility and show temporary
offsite grading easements. These can be provided with the WPO submittal.
b. Provide the existing, offsite sewer easement DB/PG information and show the easement
on the final plat. A new offsite sewer easement may be required.
2. It doesn't appear the proposed SWM facility will provide adequate volume control for the
drainage area. This can be addressed with the WPO submittal.
3. Access to the SWM facility appears to be down a 2:1 slope. Access will need to meet
requirements of VA DEQ Stormwater Design Specification Number 15, Section 6.8. This can be
addressed with the WPO submittal.

As requested, I have reviewed the subject plat, dated 9/6/22, for the proposed
development, referenced above. Since both water and sewer will be provided by public
systems, and there does not appear to be any existing onsite well or septic systems that
will be impacted, I have no objection to the proposed development and recommend
approval.
If there are any questions or concerns, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
