Date: 7 April 2009
Subject: Johnson Property Final Plat (SUB200900047)
The Engineer for the Zoning & 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 based on further review.) [Each
comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code.]
1. [14- 302(A)(12)] Existing Topography. It appears that the construction of a driveway to serve Lot
A will require disturbance to critical slopes. No structure or improvement nor earth disturbing
activity to establish such structure or improvement shall be located on slopes of twenty -five (25)
percent or greater (18- 4.2.3.2).
2. [ 14 -304] Request for critical slopes waiver. A waiver to disturb critical slopes must be granted by the
Planning Commission. Please submit a waiver request per 18- 4.2.5, including an analysis of the
disturbance. This analysis must include the area of all critical slopes which will be disturbed for the
purposes of road upgrades, proposed driveways, and proposed construction of home and drainfield
sites.
[14 -303 (E)] Dimension standards and information on all lots, streets, alleys, easements, and
shared driveways. Easements shown for private streets, alleys and shared driveways shall be
labeled as "private street easement ", "alley easement" or "shared driveway easement." The
easement holder(s) shall be identified on the plat. If shared driveways are shown, a note shall be
added to the plat stating that maintenance shall be by the owners of the lots affected by the shared
driveway easement, not by the Virginia Department of Transportation or the county.
4. [18- 4.6.6] Lot Access Requirements. Although not required to be shown on this plat, all driveways to
proposed building sites must meet the criteria of this section. It must be demonstrated that this criteria
is met prior to the issuing of building permits for the proposed lots.
5. [ 17- 320(D)] Stream Crossings. If the driveway to serve Lot A is to cross the existing stream, the
crossing must meet the criteria of the County Water Protection Ordinance, specifically, Section 17 -320
(D)(1)(b). Supporting information will be required with a building permit request for Lot A. Work
within the existing stream may require permits from federal or state agencies. Copies of these permits
will be required with the building permit request for Lot A.
6. [ 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
Current Development
