The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department of Community Development
will recommend approval of the plan referred to above when the following items have been satisfactorily
addressed. (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. [ZMA2015-00001] Provide updated versions of the Old Trail residential count table and green space table for staff
to analyze to ensure the density and green space requirements for Old Trail continue to be met with this proposed
subdivision. The tables must be included on one (or more) sheets of the plat.
2. [34-302(A)5] The 15' public pedestrian access easement appears to overlap with a significant portion of the
frontage of proposed Lot 1, which could hinder driveways/entrances. Is there a plan to move this easement over
onto the residue of the stormwater management parcel?
3. [34-302(A)5] The plat shows the 15' greenway trail at the rear of proposed Lot 3 to be located within an easement.
The code of development (page 13) requires the greenway area to be dedicated to the County. Why is this small
"notch" located within an easement, rather than fee simple like the greenway areas on either side of it?
4. [34-302(A)5] The plat appears to show a stormwater management facility easement proposed to be vacated (on
Lot 1). Is this easement a public easement, that has been dedicated to the County? If it is a public easement held by
the County, then a public hearing - and approval by the Board of Supervisors - is necessary for the easement to
be vacated.
5. [14-302(A)14] Any new easements to be dedicated to the County (e.g., new stormwater management easements)
will require deeds. The Engineering Division will be able to help with the preparation of such deeds.
6. [34-302(B)1] Provide the date of last revision of the plat on all future submittals.
