RE: SUB - 200800254- Redfields Phase V -Final
Dear Mr. Collins:
This letter is to notify you that the above referenced subdivision application has been denied as it does not
comply with the following applicable sections of the Albemarle County Code. (Staff comments have been
provided.)
1. [Sec. 14 -224A] Review and action on final plat by agent.
Upon receipt of a final plat from the site review committee, the agent shall review the
final plat as follows:
A. The agent shall review the final plat for compliance with the requirements of this
chapter in effect at the time of preliminary plat approval, provided that all other
requirements of sections 14 -300, 14 -301 and 14 -303 are met. For the final plat of each
section of a phased subdivision, the agent shall also review the final plat for compliance
with applicable regulations, and all requirements of the zoning ordinance in effect at the
time the plat for that section is being reviewed or, in the case of a planned development,
the zoning ordinance selected by the subdivider under section 8.5.5.2 of the zoning
ordinance. The agent shall make a good faith effort to identify all deficiencies, if any,
during the review of the first plat submittal. The agent shall consider the
recommendations and determinations made by the site review committee.
COMMENT: This proposed subdivision does not meet the standards of the existing zoning
approval. Per the Zoning Administrator in the determination letter dated October 25, 2005, this
subdivision cannot be approved until the Redfields property is rezoned. A copy of that letter is
attached for your reference.
2. [Sec. 14 -403] Lot frontage. COMMENT: In order for the subdivision of property that does not
include Redfields to be processed as a rural subdivision, all lots in the subdivision must meet the
minimum requirements for frontage. As proposed, they do not. Please revise the lots to meet the
requirements for frontage for a rural subdivision, or this plat must be processed as a standard
subdivision.
3. [Sec. 14- 302A2] Vicinity map. COMMENT: Per the requirements of this section, please provide
vicinity map at a scale of 1 "= 2000'.
4. [Sec. 14- 302A31 Existing or platted streets. COMMENT: Please provide state route information
if applicable, and indicated whether the existing streets shown are public or private.
5. [Sec. 14- 302A4 -5] Public and Private easements.
[Sec. 14 -303L] Public utility, drainage, and sight distance easements.
COMMENT: Please revise the graphics to more clearly delineate the extents of the easements
shown on the plat. Specifically, it is difficult to determine the extents of the new sign and
landscape, variable width VDOT drainage, and stormwater management, and 120' VEPCo
easements shown in the southeast corner of the property.
COMMENT: Does the 20' waterline easement belong to ACSA? Please add easement owner
information to the call -out.
6. [Sec. 14- 302A9] Building sites on proposed lots. COMMENT: Please provide evidence that
each lot contains a building site per this section of the ordinance.

notes and development rights information, as required by this section.
8. [Sec. 14 -301B] Form and style of plats. COMMENT: 1" =250' is not an acceptable scale. Please
revise and provide plat at a scale that is a multiple of 100 (i.e. 1:200, 1:300).
9. [Sec. 14- 302B61 Tax map and parcel number. COMMENT: Please change parcel reference from
"Parcel ID" to "tax map and parcel number ".

agricultural forestral information, as required by this section.

plat. (None for PRD).
12. [Sec. 14 -303I] Bearing and distance ties. COMMENT: Please mark ALL corners clearly. It is
not possible to determine the start and end of line and curve segments as it is drawn.

[Sec. 14 -316] Approval of entrance on public streets.
[Sec. 14 -404] Lot location to allow access from lot into street or shared driveway.
COMMENT: VDOT approval is required for new ingress /egress onto a public street. Intended

14. [Sec. 14 -303R] Parent parcel access. COMMENT: Provide note required by this section.
15. [Sec. 14 -303N] Statement pertaining to private streets. COMMENT: Again, if this plat is
processed as a standard subdivision, this section requires a standard note is provided when a
private street is proposed.
16. [Sec. 14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. COMMENT: A
private street maintenance agreement is required if a private street is proposed. If applicable,
please submit a maintenance agreement to this office for review. The final plat cannot be
approved until the County Attorney approves the maintenance agreement.
