Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.): [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision /Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.] This memo contains comments for all three referenced applications to aid coordination and review efficiency. SUB 2011 -00138 Keswick Lake — Final Subdivision Plat: The applicant has requested review based on the 1980 Subdivision and Zoning Ordinance, in accord with Section 8.5.5.2 of the current Zoning Ordinance regulations. [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Albemarle County Code at that time. All references are to the 1980 Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances, unless otherwise specified.] [ZMA- 1977 -24 #1] Health Department Approval. Comment: This condition is closely related to both ZMA1977 -24 Condition #12 and SUB2007 -396 Condition #9. Health Department approval is required for a primary and reserve drainfield location on each lot, outside of critical slopes. My understanding is that the applicant is currently seeking approval of a central sewage treatment system (the `Living Machine') from VDH. If approved by VDH, this central system would also require County approval. If all approvals are granted, the proposed central system may satisfy this condition; otherwise drainfield locations will have to be approved as indicated above. Documentation of all approvals must be included with the Final Plat and maintenance of the central system must be provided for in a maintenance agreement to be reviewed by the County Attorney. 2. [ZMA- 1977 -24 #2] VDOT Approval of entrance facilities. Comment: The application has been sent to VDOT for review. Comments will be forwarded once received. 3. [ZMA- 1977 -24 #3] Albemarle County engineering approval of all internal roads and private drives with adequate turnaround space at the end of each. Comment: The Engineering division is currently reviewing this application and will forward any comments. 4. [ZMA- 1977 -24 #4] VDOT approval of internal state roads. Comment: The application has been sent to VDOT for review. Comments will be forwarded once received. 5. [ZMA- 1977 -24 #5] No dwelling units nor septic fields to be built on slopes in excess of 25 %. Comment: a. Please provide documentation to indicate there is a suitable location on each lot to construct a dwelling unit and two drainfields (depending on outcome of #1 above) with no critical slope impacts. In a letter addressing preliminary plat comments, dated January 21, 2008, DDR responded to this same request for information by saying, `Further construction design and details shall be provided as required for final approval'. This information must be provided before Final Plat approval can be granted: b. ' Further, in an effort to ensure that all lots shown on this plat are truly buildable, the dwelling unit and drainfield locations must be demonstrated to be outside of the stream buffer. The stream buffer is currently shown incorrectly on the submittal; please correct the stream buffer location and show building and drainfield locations outside of both critical slopes and the stream buffer on each lot. Building permits will not be granted for any locations within stream buffers regardless of plat approval. Any lot lacking adequate space outside of critical slopes and stream buffer will be considered `unbuildable' and should be labeled as such on the plat. 6. [ZMA- 1977 -24 #6] No dwelling units nor septic fields to be built within 50 feet of the lake water's edge at mean level to be determined by the Virginia Department of Health. Comment: Provide documentation of the lake's water edge determination and provide information that demonstrates there is a suitable location on each lot to construct a dwelling unit and two drainfields (depending on outcome of #1 above) outside of the 50' delineation. Illustration of correct stream buffers may resolve this condition. 7. [ZMA- 1977 -24 #7] The applicant will have a certified engineer test the existing dam and certify that it is safe to the satisfaction of the County Engineer. Comment: Please provide dam safety certification. 8. [ZMA - 1977 -24 #8] A maintenance agreement for the maintenance of all common areas, recreational facilities, private drives, and the dam to be approved by the County Attorney's Office and recorded. Comment: Provide a maintenance agreement for review by the County Attorney. This agreement may also need to include provisions for the central water and sewer systems, if included in the project. Please also show all recreational facilities on the plat. 9. [ZMA- 1977 -24 #9] Final subdivision approval will be subject to the County Engineer's Office approval of central water system. Comment: It is my understanding that the applicant has requested an expansion of the ACSA jurisdictional area to provide water to this subdivision. If approved, the jurisdictional area expansion may satisfy this condition. If denied, approval of a central water system is required prior to final plat approval. A Tier IV groundwater study will also be required. Documentation of all approvals must be included with the Final Plat and maintenance of the central system must be provided for in a maintenance agreement to be reviewed by the County Attorney. 10. [ZMA - 1977 -24 #10] A grading permit will be required prior to subdivision approval. Comment: The Engineering division is currently reviewing this application and will forward any comments. 11. [ZMA- 1977 -24 #11] All lots are to have access to common open space. Comment: On the preliminary plat this condition appeared to have been met through the provision of a pedestrian path throughout the open space. While reviewing the preliminary plat, the planner requested additional information regarding construction details of the path as well as a general layout of any recreational facilities (boat launches, picnic areas, etc.) and requested that these items be included in a maintenance agreement (as noted above). In the comment response letter, dated January 21, 2008, DDR responded to this request, 'As requested, construction details, access agreements, and maintenance agreements shall be provided with final plans'. This information must be provided before Final Plat approval can be granted. 12. [ZMA- 1977 -24 #12] An approved secondary drainfield location must be provided for each lot (ZMA -77 -24 #12). Comment: See comment #1 above. Approved locations for a primary and secondary drainfield must be provided for each lot. 13. [ZMA- 1977 -24 #13] That the Virginia Dept. of Highways and Transportation review the intersection of Route 250 East and Route 709 in order to determine whether signs or warning lights are necessary; if it is determined that controls are warranted, they shall be installed at the developer's expense. Comment: The application has been sent to VDOT for review. Comments will be forwarded once received. 2 14. [ZMA- 1977 -24 #14] Albemarle County Engineering approval of right -of -way widths. Comment: The Engineering division is currently reviewing this application and will forward any comments. 15. [ZMA- 1977 -24 #15] The number of lots in the development is limited to 39, with the reduction from the number of lots shown on plan presented to the BOS meeting of January 18, 1978, to be made along Route 729 on the west side of the lake. Comment: This condition appears to have been met. 16. [ZMA- 1977 -24 #16] The developer is to install a road across the dam (non- dedicated) to provide access to Route 729. Comment: There is no road shown across the dam on the preliminary plat. I understand there is a Special Use Permit currently under review for fill in the floodplain necessary to construct this road. The Special Use Permit and road plans must be approved before final plat approval can be granted. This approval involves both SUB201100095 Clifton Lake — Special Lot and SUB201100137 Easement Plat, submitted separately. a. A variation request must be approved to change the alignment of the road connecting to Route 729 from what was shown on the approved application plan. A variation request was previously submitted in June of 2008, but approval was not granted (see attached copy of request); please update the variation with all current information including details regarding what is being provided with the special lot dedication (SUB201100095). If you have questions regarding the variation, please contact Wayne Cilimberg. b.

Please see comments for SUB201100095 (included). c. Easement plat (SUB201100137) cannot be approved until road plans are finalized. This may also apply to Special Lot plat (SUB201100095). d. Clarification of the 'gap' between the special lot and the adjoining property may be required. e. Documentation that no public right -of -way exists on Randolph Mill Lane may be required'. 17.

[ZMA- 1977 -24] Conformity with the Application Plan. Comment: During review of the preliminary plat, a request was made for information regarding the construction and maintenance of all amenities and other features anticipated during the rezoning. This included such items as design and access to boat launches and picnic areas. This is closely related to #11 above, and DDR gave the same response, that `construction details, access agreements, and maintenance agreement shall be provided with Final Plans'; please provide this information. 19. [SUB2011 -396 #1] All easements shall be provided by current property owners for the access road to connect to Route 729.
