Subject: SUB2014 — 00049 Stonewater — Final Plat (townhomes lots 35 -48)
The County of Albemarle Division of Zoning and Current Development will grant or recommend
approval of the final subdivision plat referred to 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.]
1. [Comment] This plat cannot be approved until the Road Plan revisions are approved. If there are increases
to the previously standing Road Bonds these must be posted prior to County signature. Please conifer with
Engineering if there will be any changes.
Rev 2. Comment not addressed. Road plan (SUB2014 -47] needs to be re- submitted and approved prior to
final subdivision plat approval. Please contact Engineering for the status of this plan as Michelle Roberge is
the lead reviewer of the road plan. Planning staff believes there will be road bond requirements that are for
required improvements of the subdivision plat. Namely, sidewalks and landscape strips. These
improvements must be bonded prior to final subdivision plat approval.
2. [Comment] In reference to Lori Schweller's March 25, 2014 email: "... the notes on the townhome
subdivision plat will need to be revised to refer to a Second Amendment to Declaration, attached
Article IV of the Declaration, which is referred to in Note 48 of the subdivision plat, deals with
common area that will ultimately be owned by the Association. Since Parcels A -I and B -I are
easements over what will be Lots 42 and 43, respectively, they are not Common Area as defined in
Article IV of the Declaration. Instead, I have added a new paragraph to Article V ( "Easements')
to provide, for their maintenance by the Association ".
Please revise Note #8 and Note #17 to provide the correct Deed Book Page Reference information
of the recorded Second Amendment to Declaration which is to be set to record with Stonewater
Right of Way Vacation Plat, SUB2013 -181. Please note that the County Atiorm Je
approve the Amended Declaration. Rev 2. Comment addressed. Updated with DB Ref # for R/W
vacation plat.
[Comment] Note #16 should be revised to reference the correct Deed Book Page Reference
information of the recorded Greenbelt Easement which is to be set to record with Stonewater Right
of Way Vacation Plat, SUB2013 -181. Rev 2. Comment addressed. Updated with DB Ref # for R/W
vacation plat.
4. [14- 302(A)4] Private Easements. The location and dimensions of all existing and proposed private
easements. Existing easements shall be labeled with the deed book and page number and the name of the
owner of record Based on the review of the townhomes' final site plan (SDP2013 -67) which
commenced today, staff has an additional comment which may affect this plat, specifically
Comment #23 from SDP2013 -67 — see below. This can either be addressed on SUB2013 -181 OR
SUB2014 -49 Final Subdivision Plat, OR on another plat unrelated to the two mentioned.
Regardless this comment must be addressed prior to the final site plan approval. I'm providing this
comment to you to start the conversation between you and Scott on how it shall be resolved. It
appears that Lori Schweller's March 25t" email w/ the attached DRAFT /unrecorded `Second
Amendment to Stonewater Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions and Easements' will
adequately cover the maintenance agreement portion of my comment, pending County Attorney
approval of the document; however, now we need to assure the required Landscape Easements
subject of my Comment #23 are depicted on one of the two plats (SUB2013 -181 OR SUB2014 -49)
and set to record w/ Lori's Second Amendment to Stonewater ... prior to the final site plan is
approved.
"SDP2013- 67_Comment #23) [32.7.9.9(d), 32.5.2(n), 32.7.9.7(e)] Installation and Maintenance of Required
Landscaping and Screening. For the required screening along Rio Road and Penfield Lane provide the dimensions of
the landscape easements that these plantings are to be located in and label them on the plan. Also, prior to final site
plan approval the easements shall be set to record with a maintenance agreement approved by the County Attorney.
Prior to final site plan approval on the plan provide the Deed Book and Page reference number of these recorded
easements.
Staff suggests the applicant depict these easements on the Right of Way Vacation plat (SUB2013 -181) or the final
subdivision plat (SUB201400049). Also assure to provide a maintenance agreement, for the County Attorney to review
OR assure that the previous Covenants and Restrictions document covers the additional landscaping easements and
then set that plat and legal document to record - Rev 1. Comment addressed. Update with DB Ref # when R/W
vacation plat is recorded.
[14 -303L] Sight Distance Easements. It appears that the plat incorrectly 'labels the two proposed Sight
Distance Easement which first appear on the Right of Way Vacation plat (SU132013 -181) as *SE* recorded
in D134364 -25. However, staff has reviewed the recorded plat being referenced and has been unable to
locate the sight distance easements, notably the area of these easements was formerly Dedicated Right of
Way, thus they would not have existing? Staff believes these two easements should be labeled as *SE -1* as
they are proposed. Please clarify, or revise if appropriate. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
6. [14 -303Q] Water Supply. On the plat provide a note which states that the subdivision will be served by a
public water supply and a public sewer supply. Rev 1. Comment addressed.
7. [Comment & 15.3] On the plat provide information regarding density for the entire development
( Stonewater single family lots and townhouse lots). Rev 1. Comment addressed.
8. [Comment] There appears to be a typographical error/ miss calculation under the Block B Area
Summary. The sum of Block B area is listed as 16,167 SF; however, when the areas of Lot 43
through 48 are added staff calculated 16,168 SF. Revise if appropriate. Rev 1. Comment
addressed.
9. [Comment] Above the signature line for the Agent for the BOS, assure that "SUB2014 -" is
correctly filled in with the true SUB #; otherwise, remove this reference. Rev 1. Comment
addressed.
10. [Comment] This plat cannot be approved until VDOT, ACSA, Engineering, Parks and Recreation,
and Fire & Rescue provide their approvals. Comments will be forwarded to the applicant upon
2
receipt of these comments. Rev 1. Pending VDOT approval. All other approvals have been
obtained.
11. [Comment] All bonds shall be posted prior to final subdivision plat approval.

Re: SUB - 2013 -00181 Stonewater — Penfield Lane Right of Way Vacation
SUB - 2014 -00049 Stonewater Townhomes Subdivision Plat
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the final plat vacating the existing right of way along Penfield Lane dated
1219113 with revisions dated 314114 and 4129114 and the final plat for Stonewater Subdivision,
Block A, Lots 35 Thru 42 and Block B, Lots 43 Thru 48 dated 3110114 with revisions dated
4129114 as submitted by Kirk Hughes & Associates. Both plats appear to reflect right of way as
agreed to by Traffic Engineering as being adequate to accommodate a potential traffic signal at
the intersection of Penfield Lane and Rio Road. VDOT has no objection to the proposed plats as
submitted.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,

Subject: Stonewater-Order of operations
Stonewater- Order of operations
(Please note that this is a little different than we discussed over the phone,please review the information below
and let me know if you have any questions).
1) Stonewater R/W vacation plat ISUB2013-1811 — pending VDOT approval. Once we receive VDOT
approval we're good to go to the next step. After we obtain VDOT approval the applicant needs to submit the
signed plat and all of the signed deeds to the County. A couple of the deeds require Tom Foley's signature.
Once we have Tom's signature on the applicable deeds we can approve the R/W vacation plat. Applicant then
records it in the Clerk's Office.
2)Road plan (SUB2014-47] needs to be re-submitted and approved (currently we're without any revised
road plans since the ft review). Once the road plan is approved then comes the final subdivision plat. We need
to assure final subdivision plat [SUB2014-49] is ready for approval (all approvals shall be obtained), also assure
that the R/W vacation plats DB PG#s are on the plat,then we need to do the bonding of the Water and Sewer,
and the Road Bond (to include sidewalks and landscape strip). To do that the applicant needs a bond estimate
request and the $250 fee to Ana Kilmer. Once the bonds estimates are provided to the applicant from
Engineering the applicant shall post the bonds prior to final subdivision plat approval. The bonding of all
required improvements of the subdivision plat must happen prior to final subdivision plat approval, this includes
the sidewalk and the landscape strip, a bond for these improvements shall be calculated. The street trees and the
onsite landscaping are required by the site plan and do not need to be bonded prior to final sub plat approval.
3) Townhome Final site plan [SDP2013-67] —needs to be updated to have DB PG#s from recorded R/W
vacation plat and final sub plat. Then we can approve the site plan provided all other approvals are obtained.
The bonding of all the landscaping for townhome landscaping(to include street trees, landscaping for canopy,
parking and screening)shall take place through Zoning, defined as a Site Bond. We don't need these bonds
prior to site plan approval, it's just that the applicant cannot get a CO till the site bond is posted
4) Please note that no grading can begin until the E&S bonds are posted. To do that the applicant needs a bond
estimate request and fee to Ana Kilmer. Once the bonds estimates are provided to the applicant by Engineering
the applicant shall post the bonds. The subdivision plat and the site plan can be approved prior to this bond
being posted but no grading can take place till this is posted.

Jeremy,
I don't believe the owner would object. I was trying to be consistent with Tom's direction. So, as I understand the
easement should extend 10' left and right; 10' to the rear into the lots and centered on the meters.

1 and 3 are addressed. With 2, it seems that additional width is appropriate due to the services lines not
being perpendicular to the main. Does the owner object to granting the additional easements?

Alex,
Below are my comments:
1. For the sewer easement related to Note 14, extend the easement area to the edge of the
R/W. [Kirk's Comment] I will modify the plat, is a total easement width = 20.91' ok. No
reason to leave such a small gap.
2. Easement widths for meters should be 20 feet.[Kirk's Comment] Tom Garrison
approved the 10' width on the earlier plat and I'll trying to be consistent. The copper
service lines are being pulled out to avoid trees, requiring a greater width.
3. Ensure that sewer easement behind Lot 48 extends to the property Iine.[Kirk's
Comment] Easement line extends to the adjoining property line and I can add
clarification on the plat.

From: Christopher P. Perez, Senior Planner
Division: Current Development
Date: March 26, 2014
Subject: SUB2014 — 00049 Stonewater — Final Plat (townhomes lots 35 -48)
The County of Albemarle Division of Zoning and Current Development will grant or recommend
approval of the final subdivision plat referred to 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.]
1. [Comment] This plat cannot be approved until the Road Plan revisions are approved. If there are increases
to the previously standing Road Bonds these must be posted prior to County signature. Please conifer with
Engineering if there will be any changes.
2. [Comment] In reference to Lori Schweller's March 25, 2014 email:
..the notes on the townhome
subdivision plat will need to be revised to refer to a Second Amendment to Declaration, attached.
Article IV of the Declaration, which is referred to in Note #8 of the subdivision plat, deals with
common area that will ultimately be owned by the Association. Since Parcels A -1 and B -I are
easements over what will be Lots 42 and 43, respectively, they are not Common Area as defined in
Article IV of the Declaration. Instead, I have added a new paragraph to Article V ( "Easements')
to provide for their maintenance by the Association ".
Please revise Note #8 and Note #17 to provide the correct Deed Book Page Reference information
of the recorded Second Amendment to Declaration which is to be set to record with Stonewater
Right of Way Vacation Plat, SUB2013 -181. Please note that the County Attorney must review/
approve the Amended Declaration.
3. [Comment] Note #16 should be revised to reference the correct Deed Book Page Reference
information of the recorded Greenbelt Easement which is to be set to record with Stonewater Right
of Way Vacation Plat, SUB2013 -181.
4. [14- 302(A)4] Private Easements. The location and dimensions of all existing and proposed private
easements. Existing easements shall be labeled with the deed book and page number and the name of the
owner of record. Based on the review of the townhomes' final site plan (SDP2013 -67) which
commenced today, staff has an additional comment which may affect this plat, specifically
Comment #23 from SDP2013 -67 — see below. This can either be addressed on SUB2013 -181 OR
SUB2014 -49 Final Subdivision Plat, OR on another plat unrelated to the two mentioned.
Regardless this comment must be addressed prior to the final site plan approval. I'm providing this
comment to you to start the conversation between you and Scott on how it shall be resolved. It
appears that Lori Schweller's March 25th email w/ the attached DRAFT /unrecorded `Second
Amendment to Stonewater Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions and Easements' will
adequately cover the maintenance agreement portion of my comment, pending County Attorney
approval of the document; however, now we need to assure the required Landscape Easements
subject of my Comment #23 are depicted on one of the two plats (SUB2013 -181 OR SUB2014 -49)
and set to record w/ Lori's Second Amendment to Stonewater... prior to the final site plan is

"SDP2013- 67_Comment #23) [32.7.9.9(d), 32.5.2(n), 32.7.9.7(e)] Installation and Maintenance of Required
Landscaping and Screening. For the required screening along Rio Road and Penfield Lane provide the dimensions of
the landscape easements that these plantings are to be located in and label them on the plan. Also, prior to final site
plan approval the easements shall be set to record with a maintenance agreement approved by the County Attorney.
Prior to final site plan approval on the plan provide the Deed Book and Page reference number of these recorded
easements.
Staff suggests the applicant depict these easements on the Right of Way Vacation plat (SUB2013 -181) or the final
subdivision plat (SUB201400049). Also assure to provide a maintenance agreement for the County Attorney to review
OR assure that the previous Covenants and Restrictions document covers the additional landscaping easements and
then set that plat and legal document to record. "
[14 -303L] Sight Distance Easements. It appears that the plat incorrectly labels the two proposed Sight
Distance Easement which first appear on the Right of Way Vacation plat (SUB2013 -181) as *SE* recorded
in DB4364 -25. However, staff has reviewed the recorded plat being referenced and has been unable to
locate the sight distance easements, notably the area of these easements was formerly Dedicated Right of
Way, thus they would not have existing? Staff believes these two easements should be labeled as *SE -1 * as
they are proposed. Please clarify, or revise if appropriate.
6. [14 -303Q] Water Supply. On the plat provide a note which states that the subdivision will be served by a
public water supply and a public sewer supply.
7. [Comment & 15.31 On the plat provide information regarding density for the entire development
(Stonewater single family lots and townhouse lots).
8. [Comment] There appears to be a typographical error / miss calculation under the Block B Area
Summary. The sum of Block B area is listed as 16,167 SF; however, when the areas of Lot 43
through 48 are added staff calculated 16,168 SF. Revise if appropriate.
9. [Comment] Above the signature line for the Agent for the BOS, assure that "SUB2014 -" is
correctly filled in with the true SUB #; otherwise, remove this reference.
10. [Comment] This plat cannot be approved until VDOT, ACSA, Engineering, Parks and Recreation,
and Fire & Rescue provide their approvals. Comments will be forwarded to the applicant upon
receipt of these comments.
