Bob,
The County Attorney's office confirmed that the dam break inundation zone does not affect this plat, so the County
is ready to sign the plat.
Also, I did notice that I neglected to provide a comment on overlay districts. Please make the change below prior
to signing:
1.0n Sheet 1, please note that this property is zoned RA and Flood Hazard overlay district.
Thanks for your patience,

The answer to your question is that neither the proposed BLA nor the expansion of the house that would be allowed by
the BLA would be subject to the DBIZ regulations because it is not a "development," which is defined as"one or more
lots developed or to be developed as a unit under single ownership or unified control which is to be used for any
business or industrial purpose or is to contain three or more dwelling units, but does not include any lot or lots that will
be principally devoted to agricultural production."

Hey Greg,
I'm reviewing a BLA plat(attached) and noticed it is located in the dam break zone for the dam at Lake Albemarle
(overlay GIS map attached). The property owners are seeking to add 2.1 acres so they can expand their kitchen and still
meet RA setbacks.
I'm curious if you think it should be sent to DCR for their review under§ 10.1-606.3? In my mind,the BLA doesn't meet
the definition of"development" under§15.2-2201. Perhaps the building permit to expand the house will apply, but I
don't think this application should apply.
At a minimum, I was going to suggest that the surveyor add a note to the plat that recognizes the property is located in a
dam break inundation zone.
Do you have any suggestions? Do you know how this application would be processed under the pending new
regulations?
Thanks,
J.T. Newberry

J.T.,
I took a look at the plat you sent me concerning right-of-way. I'm assuming that the right-of-way was dedicated per the
deed reference, but short of researching it at the court house, I cannot confirm that is correct as shown. Since a 50'
right-of-way has apparently been dedicated in this area, it would be good to extend the 50' dedicated right-of-way if
possible. With this being a boundary line adjustment, I don't know whether that is possible or not, and I don't have any
real heartburn if we can't get it. Let me know if you need additional information.

Hey Troy,
I'm reviewing a boundary line adjustment application (attached)that appears to show some right-of-way that was
conveyed to VDOT in 1986. Can I just confirm with you that this is correct and you don't have any objection?
Thanks,

The Albemarle County Planning Services Division will grant or recommend approval of the
subdivision plat referenced above when the following comments have been addressed. [Each
comment is preceded by the applicable reference in the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances, unless
otherwise specified.]
1. [14-302(A)2] Vicinity Map. On Sheet 1, please show the map at a scale of 1"=2000'.
2. [14-302(B)10] Stream buffers. On Sheet 2,please show the stream buffers located outside
of the flood plain on the southern side of Mechums River. I have attached a GIS map of
their location.
3. [General Comment] I am awaiting approval from the Virginia Department of
Transportation regarding the conveyance of right-of-way on State Route 678.
4. [General Comment] This property lies in the"dam break inundation zone" of the dam at
Lake Albemarle. VA Code § 10.1-606.3 states the requirements for development within
dam break inundation zones and this application may require the review of the Department
of Conservation and Recreation. The Planning Commission is scheduled to review a draft
ordinance for these requirements on October 8, 2013. With these considerations, I am
waiting for comment from the County Attorney's office on how to proceed with this
application.
Please contact J.T. Newberry at jewberry@albemarle.org or 434-296-5832, ext. 3270 for further
information about any of the comments above.
