Once the water lines and hydrants are in place a field test should be conducted to verify the fact. No further comment is necessary on my part. James From: Elizabeth Marotta Sent: Wednesday, November 25, 2009 9:29 AM To: James Barber Subject: FW: Pavilions Phase III (SDP 2008 -125) Good morning James, In reviewing this project, I noticed you replied "no objection- Must comply with the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code. Final approval is subject to field inspection and verification" to the latest submittal. I just want to confirm with you that per the email below, you got the information you needed. I have not seen anything further on the issue, so I just want to make sure I do not need to comment on it any further. — elizabeth From: James Barber Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 12:59 PM To: Elizabeth Marotta Subject: RE: Pavilions Phase III (SDP 2008 -125) Good afternoon Elizabeth, The side yard setback of ten feet is approved provided the applicant can ensure a minimum fire flow of 2000 GPM 0 20 PSI residual pressure. This information is typically provided through the service authority or through water modeling done by the developer. In the case of water modeling, an actual flow test must be conducted after the water lines and hydrants are in place. Please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions. James F.

I see you have been working with Keith on the review of Pavillions Phase 3. In addition to regular site plan approval (for IBC /IFC issues), which I see is granted below, I need confirmation from you that you have explicitly approved the side setback reduction to 10' on the units. Sec. 4.11.3 of the County Code permits the applicant to reduce the side setbacks as long as the County fire official approves it and there is adequate fire flows. I understand that the preliminary was reviewed and approved, and in that plan reduced setbacks were shown, however in order to approve the final I do need a specific response to this issue. The section from the ordinance is below (section A). Therefore, I am looking for an explicit statement from you regarding your review of the reduced side setbacks. Thank you for your help with this; I understand you are very busy over there. Sincerely, Elizabeth 4.11.3 REDUCTION OF BUILDING SEPARATION AND SIDE YARDS (Added 1 -1 -83, Amended 6- 11 -08) The minimum building separation and side yards for primary structures may be reduced in accordance with the applicable district regulations as follows: A. Reductions for structures not within zero lot line developments; with adequate fire flows or which are constructed in accordance with the building code. The minimum building separation or side yards for primary structures may be reduced if the structure is not located within a zero lot line development, but is located in an area where available fire flows are adequate under Insurance Service Offices standards to allow the reduction. Each primary structure for which the minimum building separation or side yard has been reduced as provided in this subsection shall be subject to the following: 1. In the case of a side yard reduction, the Albemarle County fire official may require a guarantee as deemed necessary to insure compliance with the provisions of this section, and this guarantee may include, but not be limited to, appropriate deed restrictions, disclosure, and other such instruments, which shall be of a substance and be in a form approved by the fire official and the county attorney, and shall be recorded in the records of the circuit court of the county; 2. No structure shall encroach within any emergency accessway required by the Albemarle County fire official; 3. Unless constructed to a common wall, no structure shall be located closer than six (6) feet to any lot line; and 4. No structure shall encroach on any utility, drainage or other easement, nor on any feature required by this chapter or other applicable law. B. Reductions for dwelling units within zero lot line developments. The minimum building separation or side yards for detached dwelling units may be reduced to zero (0) feet on one side for each dwelling unit located within a zero lot line development if the structure is located in an area where available fire flows are adequate under Insurance Service Offices standards to allow the reduction. Each zero lot line development shall be subject to the following: 1. The subdivider shall submit with the final subdivision plat a lot development plan showing all the lots in the zero lot line development and delineating the location of each zero lot line dwelling unit; 2. The subdivider shall establish a perpetual wall maintenance easement on the lot abutting the zero lot line side of the dwelling unit so that, with the exception of fences, a minimum width of ten (10) feet between dwelling units shall be kept clear of structures in perpetuity. This easement shall be shown on the final plat, shall be of a substance and be in a form approved by the director of community development and the county attorney, shall be recorded in the records of the circuit court of the county with the approved final subdivision plat, and shall be incorporated by reference in each deed transferring title to each lot that is a dominant and servient estate; and . 3. Building footings may penetrate the easement on the adjacent lot to a maximum distance of eight (8) inches.

Our department, like many others across the county, has experienced budget shortfalls and to that end, our plan review position has been eliminated. I am doing both jobs, and at times, there is a lag which you may not have previously experienced. In general, I will have no objection with plans submitted which are in compliance with the Virginia Uniform Building Code (IBC) and the Virginia Statewide Fire Prevention Code (IFC). If you have specific questions or need guidance on a local issue, e-mail is the easiest way for you to reach me. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. James F.

I've sent him a few emails and have spoken to him, but still have not heard from him. So, I talked with Bill Fritz and he thought you might be working on plans for them through the site plan process. Please let me know if this is true and if you need a copy of the site plan. Thanks for your help on this.
