This action has been taken because the subdivision plat has not been revised to include required revisions of the Site Review Committee. Those items that have not been addressed are: Engineering Approval: 1. This plat cannot be signed until the Subdivision (Road, Water, and Sewer) and the Erosion and sediment control bonds are posted and the Pro -rata share for the Lickinghole basin is paid. At this time, the ESC and Road plans have not been approved. The Lickinghole basin fee will be computed for the subdivision once the road plans are approved. I recommend that the applicant request deferral of this application until the ESC and Road plans are approved. (Rev. 1) Comment remains unchanged. 2. If public drainage easements are needed outside of the ROW, a deed of dedication and easement will need to be recorded with the plat. The deed of easement will need to be approved by the County Attorney's office. It appears that public drainage easements will be needed on the storm sewer system from Golf Drive to the Stormwater Facility. (Rev. 1) Comment has not been addressed Public drainage easements around lots 27, 28, and 32 need to be called out with the note "Hereby Dedicated to Public Use." The pipe system downstream of Golf Drive also needs the public drainage easement delineation and callout written in the previous sentence. The plat must show the entirety of this drainage system. 3. The turnaround at the end of Pennywell Drive will need to be platted. The dimensions of this turnaround will be reviewed with the road plan. It looks to be too small. (Rev. 1) The turnaround must be labeled as part of Pennywell Drive. The dimensions of the turnaround will be checked after road plan approval. 4. Has the ROW for Golf Drive on 55E -1 -F been dedicated to the public? The plat is not clear. (Rev. 1) The latest submittal of the plat has clarified the ROW boundary in this area Most of the 0.032acres north of lots 13 and 32 must be included in the Golf Drive ROW and called out as being "Hereby Dedicated to Public Use ". L11 should be extended to C20. The area to the west may be added to 055E-1-A-1. The area to the east will be dedicated to public use with this plat with the rest of the roadway. It will be up to the Zoning Administrator or Subdivision Agent as to when the —300ft of Golf Drive must be constructed and dedicated to public use. 5. Per Proffer 7, before this plat can be approved, an overlot grading plan will need to be reviewed and approved by engineering. Because grading appears on the road plans, the overlot grading review will coincide with review of the road plans. After a brief, incomplete review of the grading plan (Sheet S -1), I have the following comments: a. The overlot grading plan will need to show all building footprints, porches, walkways, etc. in order to be reviewed. (Proffer 7A) Please note that no slope steeper than 10% shall exist around building entrances unless stairways are provided. (Proffer 7I) b. Driveways must be no steeper than 8 %. It looks as though a few lots, most notably lot 17, do not meet this standard. Please provide two spot elevations at both ends of the driveway where the driveway pavement meets the alley. (Proffer 7A and Proffer 7IT) c. Water must drainage away from all buildings. Surface drainage may flow across up to three lots before being collected into a storm sewer or directed to a drainage way outside of the lots. (Rev. 1) An overlot grading plan has not yet been approved The road plan submittal on the 8'4 of July did not include an adequate overlot grading plan. 6. A complete review of the drainage easements and ROW widths and dimensions will not be reviewed until the road plan is approved. Additional comments may be necessary. (Rev. 1) Comment remains unchanged Additional comments may be necessary. VDOT appears to have made comments that would require adjustments to ROW and perhaps drainage easements. 7. (Rev. 1) Please remove parcels A and B. This is to be land dedicated to the public. For this ROW, please label it as "Hereby Dedicated to Public Use' : This requirement was mentioned in the site review committee meeting as well as in a followup email to the applicant on the 12`x' of July. 8. (Rev. 1) The document in DB 3941 PG 688 is only a private maintenance agreement for Pennywell Lane and Pennywell Court. Please update the plat to callout the document that dedicated Upland Drive and Claremont Lane. Planning Approval: 1. [14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. Provide a private street maintenance agreement for review and approval by the County Attorney for the proposed private street. VDOT Approval: 1. Based of the road widths in the Old Trail Code of Development and the VDOT comments on the Road Plans for this site, line L8, along with curves C11, C15, C16, C17, C24, C25 and C7 may require adjustment on this plat. 2. Drainage easements need to be identified on the plat. ACSA Approval: 1. Correct note for vacated waterline utility easement. Lot numbers indicated are incorrect. 2. Show all proposed easements, including hydrants and waterline easement running along unnamed road north east of lots 28 -32. You may obtain reinstatement of review as provided by Chapter 14 Section 219 (C) of the Albemarle County Code. A reinstatement fee of $520 must be included with the resubmittal of the plan. If a revised plat and fee are not received within fifteen (15) calendar days the plat shall be deemed to be denied and a new application and fee shall be required for submittal of the plat. In accord with Chapter 14 Section 226 of the Albemarle County Code, this decision may be appealed. 2 Please contact me a your earliest information.
