The Planner for the Zoning and Current Development Division of the Albemarle County Department of
Community Development will recommend approval of the plat 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 bases upon further review.) [Each
comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.]
SUB200800156 J. W. Clayton Rural Division:
1. [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.
2. [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 the health director by the
agent. A final plat shall not be approved if septic systems are proposed for the subdivision until
written approval has been received from the health director by the agent as follows:
A. The health director shall determine the suitability of the soil of each lot of the subdivision
for which septic systems with a conventional drain field will be constructed, and shall
submit his opinion to the agent.
B. The health director may require as a condition of his approval of the installation of septic
systems and, whenever necessary for the satisfactory installation of the septic systems, that
individual lots be graded and drained so as to assure the effective removal of surface water
from each lot.
(Note: due to changes in Virginia Department of Health procedure it is required that the process be
followed for their approval.)
3. [14 -316] Approval of entrance onto public streets. The subdivider shall submit, prior to or 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.
4. [14 -416] Individual private wells and septic systems. A subdivision for which public water and/or
public sewerage service is not reasonably available as provided in section 14 -414, and for which a
central water supply and/or a central sewerage system is not authorized under section 14 -415, shall be
served by individual private wells or septic systems having conventional drainfields, or both, and shall
meet all requirements of the health department and be approved by the health director. Please add the
note that this will be a private well and septic system.
SUB200800155 J. W. Clayton final division
Provided that the requirements stated above are resolved the only outstanding requirement would be the
approval of the maintenance agreement by the County Attorney's Office. I will send that upstairs today.
Under separate cover I am enclosing Scott Clark's comments as they relate to the property as a whole.
Final tentative approval will be subject to the completion of these comments
If I may be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
J. Patrick Lawrence, Planner
