(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- 302135] Zoning classification. A reference to the most recent rezoning should be noted on the plat which is ZMA2005 -9. All proffers apply to this site and individual proffers must be noted on this plat as well as future plats and plans. a. Proffer 1 limits the maximum dwelling units permitted in Briarwood to 661. Proffer 9 provides a table for the proposed lot mix. A table providing the existing and proposed dwelling units by section must be provided and updated with each submittal. b. In accordance with Proffer #1 any 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. Lots 13 through 20 in section 1B -1, shown in detail on Sheet 3, are delineated on SDP2006 -41 as affordable units subject to Proffer #11. These lots must be identified on this plat and are subject to the restrictions and notice as contained in this proffer. 2. [ 14 -303F] Identification of sections, blocks, and lots. 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 applicable phases and open space on this plat. 3. [14 -317] Documents relevant to dedication and/or maintenance of private streets, easement dedications, and open space must be provided for review to the County Attorney in order for final subdivision plat approval. 4. [14 -213A] [14 -302138 & 91 [4.2.2.2] Proposed lots & Building sites and proposed lots. ZMA 2005 -9 established the setbacks of front= 20', side= 6', rear 5', building separation= 12'. The locations, areas and dimensions of each building site must also be provided. Although this plan notes the setbacks ( #8) and building site ( #11), they must be shown on relevant plat pages to ensure adequate building sites and proffered setbacks. a. Notwithstanding the requirements of 5, the Applicant may chose to provide a typical building site as required in 4.2 with required setbacks for a proposed single family lot and a proposed townhouse lot. It is recommended that the townhouse lots be shown in blocks, rather than individual units and subdivided later, in order to avoid later issues. 5. [14 -213A] [14- 302Al2] Provide existing topography in accordance with the requirements in order to further ascertain adequate building site and existing conditions. 6. [ 14 -400; 18 -19.6, Proffer #1 ] Minimum Area Requirements for Open Space and Recreational Uses in PRD District. 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 in order for final subdivision plat approval.
