Memorandum
To: Howard Vance (hvance@balzer.cc)
From: Ellie Ray, CLA, Senior Planner
Division: Planning
Date: July 31, 2013
Rev1: September 24, 2013
Subject: SUB 201300101 Kirby – Rural Subdivision Plat
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the Final 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.]
1. [14-302(A)(1)] Name of subdivision. Please include the tax map and parcel number in the subdivision
name. It should also include a reference to it being a subdivision plat; something like, ‘Subdivision of Tax
Map and Parcel 84-50, located on the North side of State Route 635 South West of Burnt Mountain Road’.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
2. [14-302(A)(9)] Building site on proposed lots. The plat shall contain the following note: “Parcel A and the
residue of Tax Map/Parcel 84-50 each contain a building site that complies with section 4.2.1 of the
Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance.” Please add this note and remove the note that begins, “one dwelling
unit per parcel. Parcel ‘A’ and 38.8203 acre residue…”.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
3. [14-302(A)(10)] Right of further division. Please add a development rights note as follows, “Parcel A is
assigned 1 development right and may not be further divided. The residue of Tax Map/Parcel 84-50 is
retaining 4 development rights and may be further divided, and when further divided these rights shall not
comprise more than 19.82 acres”. You may also choose to allocate the development rights in different
numbers, but it appears that the intent of the illegally recorded plat was to assign only one to the new parcel.
The 5 total development rights cannot use more than 31 acres combined.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
4. [14-302(A)(11)] Instrument creating property proposed for subdivision. Please include DB 377 PG 260 and
DB 187 Pg 597 in the legal references.
Rev1: Comment addressed. A reference to DB 4234 PG 411 (the illegally recorded subdivision),
which references DB 377 PG 260, has been included. If the reference to the illegally recorded
subdivision is removed, a direct reference to DB 377 PG 260 must be added.
5. [14-302(B)(1)] General information. When revised, please include the revision date on the plat.
Rev1: Comment still valid. Since this “revised” plat was prepared by a new surveyor, no revision
date was initially necessary. Please add a revision date to the next submittal.
6. [14-302(B)(5)] Zoning classification. Add a note that indicates that the parcel is zoned Rural Areas (RA).
Rev1: Comment addressed.
7. [14-302(B)(7)] Reservoir watershed/ agricultural-forestal district. Add a note stating that the parcel is
located in the South Fork Rivanna water supply watershed and is not located in agricultural-forestal district.
Rev1: Comment addressed.

8. [14-302(B)(8] Yards. Provide a note listing the required yards. In the Rural Areas, the yards are as follows:
Front – 75’ on existing public roads or 25’ on internal public or private roads, Side – 25’, Rear – 35’.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
9. [14-302(B)(10)] Stream buffers. Provide a note that indicates the presence of stream buffer on the residue
of TMP 84-50 even though it isn’t present on the portion of the parcel shown on the plat. Please also add
the following note, “The stream buffer(s) shall be managed in accordance with the Albemarle County Water
Protection Ordinance” to the plat.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
10. [14-303(D)] Acreage of lots. Provide the total acreage of each existing lot and each proposed lot.
Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. Please provide the ‘existing’ acreage of TMP 84-50 as 50 acres,
as that was the acreage prior to the illegal subdivision and should be noted on the plat.
11. [14-303(O)] Signature panels. Provide a signature line for the subdivision agent. Under the signature line,
the title should be ‘Agent for the Board of Supervisors’.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
12. [14-309 & 14-310] Soil evaluations & Health director approval of septic systems. As discussed via email
with Ms. Kirby, Health Department approval of a primary and reserve drainfield for each parcel is required.
Rev1: Comment not addressed. Please provide soils work for submittal to the Health Department.
13. [14-312] Location of existing buildings. Show the location of any existing buildings within 50’ of the
proposed lot line.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
14. [14-316] Approval of entrance onto public streets. Ms. Kirby and I discussed via telephone and email that
VDOT approval of any proposed entrance(s) is required. However, after reading the ordinance in more
detail, this requirement does not apply to subdivisions where two dwellings existed on the parcel prior to
October 14, 2009 and the subdivision application proposes to put one existing house on each proposed
parcel; therefore, this requirement does not apply to this application.
Rev1: Comment null.
15. [Comment] The plat submitted seems to propose a private street to serve the two parcels (as indicated by
the two notes referring to a private road); however, it also refers to the same area as a “50’ Access
Easement” on the survey itself. Since this plat was submitted as a Rural Subdivision, and each proposed
parcel has adequate road frontage, no private street is required. Please remove the two notes that
reference a “private road”. You may keep the label that calls the area an “access easement” if needed for
any private maintenance agreements you may have. Additionally, please extend the access easement to
cover all portions of the driveway that Parcel “A” will need to use to access the parcel; there appears to be a
small portion of driveway that Parcel “A” will need to use that isn’t within the proposed easement. The
setback off of this easement is 25’.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
16. [14-302(B)(6)] Tax map and parcel number. Please label TMP 84-50 on Sheet 2.
Please contact Ellie Ray in the Planning Division by using eray@albemarle.org or 434-296-5832 ext.3432 for
further information.
