The family Division was recently changed. I have included the revised ordinance for your
convenience in its entirety below. Please add the note at Section 14 -212D to the plat
Each approval of a plat for a family subdivision shall be subject to the following conditions:
A. No lot may be created by family subdivision unless it has been owned by the current
owner or a member of his or her immediate family for at least four (4) consecutive years
immediately preceding the date the family subdivision plat is submitted under section 14-
210.
B. No lot created by the family subdivision, including the residue, may be transferred, except
by devise, descent or operation of law, to a person other than an eligible member of the
immediate family of the subdivider, for a period of four (4) years after the date of
recordation of the plat, except for purposes of securing any purchase money and/or
1
construction loan, including bona fide refinancing, or if the lending institution requires in
writing that the spouse of the member of the immediate family be a co- grantee and co -owner
of the lot. The subdivider shall place a restrictive covenant on the lots created by the family
subdivision prohibiting the transfer of the lots so created to a person who is not a member of
the immediate family for the retention period after the date of recordation. The restrictive
covenant shall be subject to review and approval by the county attorney before it is recorded.
If the lot created is conveyed back to the grantor during the retention period, it shall be
recombined with the parent lot within six (6) months after such conveyance and no building
permits shall be issued for the lots until they are recombined.
C. The entrance of the principal means of access for each lot onto any public street shall
comply with Virginia Department of Transportation standards and be approved by the
Virginia Department of Transportation.
D. The following note shall be added to each plat for a family subdivision:
"No lot shown on this family subdivision plat may be sold or conveyed to a person other
than an eligible `member of the immediate family,' as that term is defined in Chapter 14 of
the Albemarle County Code, for a period of four (4) years after the date of recordation of
this plat except as authorized by section 14- 212(A) of the Albemarle County Code. If any lot
created by the recordation of this plat is conveyed back to the grantor during the four 4
year period, it shall be recombined with the parent lot within six (6) months after such
conveyance.

with the final plat, evidence satisfactory to the agent that the entrance of the principal means
of access for each lot onto any existing or proposed public street complies with Virginia
Department of Transportation standards. Please provide VDOT Approval.
5. [14 -309] Soil evaluations. The subdivider shall submit to the agent with each final plat the
results of percolation tests or other methods of soil evaluation used to determine the
suitability of the soil for septic systems with conventional drain fields, if septic systems are
proposed to be used in the development of the subdivision, and the results are requested by
the agent. These results shall be forwarded by the agent to the health director.
6. [14 -310] Health director approval of individual private wells and/or septic systems. If
required as a condition of final plat approval, a final plat shall not be approved if individual
private wells are proposed for the subdivision until written approval has been received from

proposed for the subdivision until written approval has been received from the health
director.
