CC: Woodbriar Associates From: Elizabeth M. Marotta, Senior Planner Re: SUB2010 -68 Loupe LLC -Final The Zoning and Current Development Division of the Albemarle County Department of Community Development will recommend approval of the proposed easement 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. 1. [Sec. 14-302A3,409] Existing streets, Coordination and extension of streets COMMENT: Briarwood is shown as platted, however it must be dedicated to public use with this plat. Please indicate on the plat the limits of Briarwood that are to be dedicated with this plat (i.e. from Route 29 to the existing limits of built/dedicated Briarwood...) 2. [Sec. 14- 302135] Zoning classification. COMMENT: Provide reference to rezoning, for example: "PRD with proffers per ZMA 2004 -14." We will not require you to provide a list of the proffers on the plat, but you must provide a reference to the zoning case AND any applicable notes that implement the rezoning. a. Indicate on the plat that Lots 112 -119 are reserved for affordable dwellings units per Proffer #11. This may be done with a note or a callout on the drawing, or both. 3. [Sec. 14- 302A15, 303C] Identification of all owners and certain interest holder, Boundary lines. COMMENT. It appears, on Sheet 2, that land is being encumbered by the private access easement for Elm Tree Court that is not on TMP32G -1, but rather is on TMP 32G -B. I understand that both parcels are under the control of Woodbriar Associates; however parcel TMP 32G -B must be called out and indentified as a subject parcel of this subdivision. Therefore, provide required information for this parcel as well (Note #2, 7 on the cover sheet, and amend Owners Approval to include reference to TMP32G -B). 4. [Sec. 14 -3030] Signature panels a. COMMENT: Along with title, for which I see a line has been provided, type the name of person signing on behalf of Woodbriar Associates. b. COMMENT: Provide a signature line for "Agent for the Board of Supervisors ". This is where the County will sign the plat. 5. [Sec. 14 -302E] Dimension standards and information on all streeets. COMMMENT: While not required for approval, it would be very helpful to label the centerlines (Camelot, Elm Tree, etc..). Dimensions are provided, however the linetype is similar to other, and a clear label would be helpful in interpreting the drawing. 6. [Sec. 14 -303F] Identification of sections, blocks, and lots. COMMENT: Please provide overall layout/phasing plan with the plat; it is important to be able to discern the overall street layout and how the plan fits into the existing street network. Please label open space and tot lots on this overall plan. 7. [Sec. 14 -303G] Ownership of common areas. COMMENT: Provide maintenance agreement for maintenance of tot lots. Per- 4.16.2.3 these tot lots Ritist be Riaintained by a he E)eiation. The!, ffht3Fbe owned by Weedbf4ar- Asseeia4es, however- an easement fna-y be . For this reason, delineate the limits of the tot lot on the plan and provide area calculations. UPDATE: Per Proffer #1 (which supercedes the ordinance) recreation areas must be conveyed to the Homeowners Association. For this reason, they must be platted separately, unless you decide to dedicate all open space to the HOA, in which case they can be just part of the common open space that gets dedicated (see comment #19 below). You may include maintenance of the tot lots in the maintenance agreement for the private streets (and common open space if it is dedicated to the HOA). 8. [Sec. 14 -303K] Location of temporary turnarounds.

[Sec. 14 -400] Minimum lot requirements. COMMENT: Per proffer #9, Phase 1B is only permitted to have 15 single family lots; your plat proposes 20.

Also, the final site plan noted these as the setbacks. Therefore, please revise the rear setback noted on Sheet 1. 18. [14- 234.C.3] COMMENT: The private street(s) must be owned by the Homeowners Association, therefore, please plat the area not inside of a residential lot, but within the street easement, as a parcel to be dedicated to the HOA. Remember, per comment #11 above, a maintenance agreement is required. 19. [Sec. 14 -400; 18 -19.6, Proffer #1] Minimum Area Requirements for Open Space and Recreational Uses in PRD District. COMMENT: Per this section, a minimum of 25% of the area devoted to residential use shall be in common open space. Roads may not count towards common open space requirements. The definition of common open space (page 18 -3 -5 of the County Code) dictates that common open space is "owned and/or controlled by the residents of such development." Therefore, please delineate on the plat what is to be "common open space;" be clear as to whether this land is to be dedicated to the HOA, or controlled by the HOA. If you wish to own it and let the HOA control it, submit a document for County Attorney review, keep in mind this document is more than a maintenance agreement; it is a to be an instrument by which the HOA will literally control all aspects of the common open space. If you wish to dedicate it to the HOA, you may include the maintenance of the common open space in the maintenance agreement of the private streets and tot lots. a. For land above and beyond the required 25% that you not dedicate to the HOA or put under HOA control, you must submit a maintenance agreement. If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to email me at emarotta @albemarle.org or by phone at 296 -5832x 3432.
