County of Albemarle
Department of Community Development
The final plat for Stonefield (SUB- 2011 - 00118), received on 30 September 2011, has been reviewed. I
have looked over your memo dated 27 October 2011 and I concur with your comments. I have listed those
that deal with aspects of the approved public road plan (Stonefield Blvd.) in this memo in support of your
comments with additional direction given to the applicant on some of the technical details.
All drainage easements associated with this roadway must be reserved for dedication with this plat
as well. Public drainage easements are needed on any pipe conveying water from the public
ROW. These pipes should be labeled "Public drainage easement reserved for dedication upon
demand of the County." The current county policy regarding drainage easements on commercial
properties is for the public (VDOT or the county) to maintain the system to the first structure
(manhole or inlet) outside of the ROW. The remainder of the system will be within a public
drainage easement with the rights for conveyance, but will be maintained by the owner of the
property. The applicant needs to demarcate these two different types of public drainage easements
on the current plat. At the time of dedication, a Deed of Easement will need to be written,
approved, and recorded. This document will apply to the easements just off the ROW that will be
maintained by VDOT or the county.
Please note that drainage easement widths should be platted based on the size the pipe and its
depth. Please see the equation on page 14 of 35 of the County's Design Manual.
2. All sight distance easements approved with the road plan must be recorded on this plat.
3. All sidewalk maintenance easements approved with the road plan must be recorded on this plat.
Similar to the drainage easements, these sidewalk easements will likely need a maintenance
document recorded at time of road dedication.
4. Please label the 86ft wide section of ROW at the southern end of Stonefield Blvd.
5. Please show the 49ft wide section of ROW at the northern end of Stonefield Blvd. as approved in
the road plan.
6. Before this plat can be approved all necessary bonds must be posted. Currently, the applicant has
posted a Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Bond for the construction of
this bond. A subdivision bond, comprising of the bonds to construct the roadway and the water
and sewer facilities, must be posted. To request a subdivision bond amount, please provide a
completed Bond Estimate Request Form to the County Engineer. Please note that this request
must be accompanied by a $250 fee. Before this bond is posted, the County Engineer must also
approve a Schedule of Completion filled out by the applicant.
