(The following comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.] 1. [General Comment] Review the comment letter for SDP2022-00047 Victorian Heights Final Site Plan as well, as many of the comments are the same or similar. Because the development is made up of attached units, and a site plan is required, the site plan and the subdivision plat must match, with the subdivision lines reflecting the approved design of the site plan. 2. [General Comment] It is recommended that the easement plat be submitted as a separate application, as it generally makes for a quicker and less complex review and approval process. 3. [ZO 18-30.2.61 This development will require review by the Planning Commission to determine anticipated impacts of the cluster development and bonus density provisions and regulations on the Airport Impact Area overlay district. Provide a narrative justifying why this proposed development will not have a negative impact on the AIA requirements. (Comment also found in site plan review letter.) 4. [ZO 18-2.2] The calculations for open space and the bonus density appear to be incorrect. See Zoning Division comments in the final site plan review letter for SDP2022-00047. (Comment also found in site plan review letter.) 5. [14-302(A)3] Revise the right-of-way dedication notes to indicate they are being dedicated to the County of Albemarle (not the Commonwealth of Virginia). 6. [14-302(A)4; 14-302(A)5] Lot 18 appears to encroach on a utility easement. 7. [14-302(A)9] Provide the following note on the cover sheet of the plat: "Lots 1-35 each contain a building site that complies with section 4.2.1 of the Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance." 8. [14-302(B)1] Provide the date of last revision of the plat on all future submittals. 9. [34-302(B)5] In the zoning note, identify that this development is using the cluster and bonus density options in the R-15 District, along with the actual density of the final layout (since it will be greater than 15 units per acre). 10. [34-302(B)5] If the special exception application requesting modifications to the required setbacks is approved by the Board of Supervisors, a note stating the Board's action will need to be added to this plat under the zoning section on the cover sheet. 11. [14-302(B)8] Ensure the side setbacks for Lots 1 and 35 meet the requirements of 18-4.19, since the adjacent parcel is zoned R-6. If the buildings on those lots are over 35 feet in height, then they must be set back five feet, plus one foot for each foot the dwelling unit exceeds 35 feet in height. (Staff recognizes that this requirement will largely be reviewed with the site plan; however, as mentioned previously, it is important to ensure the plat and site plan match.) 12. [34-303(M)] Label the proposed new alley with a street name. (See also the comment memo from E911, which is attached.) 13. [14-303(N)] Add the following note to the cover sheet: "The streets in this subdivision may not meet the standards for acceptance into the secondary system of state highways and will not be maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation or the County of Albemarle." 14. [34-303(Q)] Provide a note on the cover sheet indicating whether this subdivision will be served by a public water supply and public sewage system. 15. [ZO 18-4.6A] The rear yard setbacks are measured from the edge of the alley easement, not the property line. Revise the setback lines on the lots adjacent to the alley. This requirement can be modified with a special exception, however. Please contact Andy Reitelbach in the Department of Community Development at areitelbach@albemarle.org or 434-296-5832 ext. 3261 for further information. Comments from Other Reviewing Departments and Agencies Albemarle County Engineering Services (Engineer) Emily Cox, ecox2@albemarle.org - Requested changes; see the comments below: -Ensure easement labels match those on the site plan (SDP202200047).
