North Wing Charlottesville, VA 22902 Phone: 434 - 296 -5832 Fax: 434 - 972 -4126 Revision #2 to SUB- 2011 -129 Ashcroft West Phase II was received on 2/3/2012 and has been reviewed. The Albemarle County Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the final subdivision plat referenced above once the following comments have been addressed and subject to all proffer conditions and preliminary plat conditions of approval. The comments below are those which have been identified at this time. Additional comments may be necessary as revisions to requested changes or any other adjustments are made. [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference to the Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances, unless otherwise specified.] [14- 302(A)5] Public easements. The location and dimensions of all existing and proposed public easements. Please be advised that the dedicated permanent drainage easements, roads, etc. may need to be re- platted if their current location varies from what is shown on the approved and submitted plats. See engineering recommendation below. [Engineering Recommendation] The following recommendation is not required, but is Highly Recommended: "This road is bonded, so technically final plats can be approved. A recent bond inspection and as -built plan review has revealed that some reconstruction, or re- platting of the easements may be needed. These easements are currently shown with deed book references on this plat. It would be best if re- platted easements were created before lots were sold, as some may be needed on these lots." Revision #1: Re- platting will likely be necessary, but the response to this comment is accepted for now. No further action is needed at this time. Revision #2: All new easements need to have the correct easement language. Indicate whether the new drainage easements are public or private. If public, include the language hereby dedicated to public use underneath in accordance with the above section. If private, label it as private in accordance with the private easements section, [14- 302(A)4]. All new easements, drainage and any others which may be needed, need to be labeled correctly in this manner. 2. [14- 302(B)1] General Information. Please add the date of last revision when you revise the plat to reflect requested changes. Revision #1: Date of last revision noted. Please add the date of last revision with each revision submitted. Memorandum To: Kevin D.

[14 -400] Minimum lot requirements. See [19.6.1] Minimum Area Requirements for Open Space and Recreational Uses. A minimum of 25% of the area devoted to residential use in PRDs has to be dedicated to common open space. (This requirement corresponds with ZMA- 1994 -016 Condition #1 also.) a. [18 -3.1] Definition of Common Open Space. Please delineate and label the area that will be dedicated to common open space on the plat. Revision #1: Open space is shown. Please re -label this open space as Common Open Space. Revision #2: The open space on sheet 1 is labeled as Common Open Space as previously requested. However, the open space on sheet 2 has not been relabeled to be consistent with sheet 1. Please re -label the open space on sheet as Common Open Space also. A line of text needs to be added to the supplementary declaration that indicates that what was referred to as "Common Areas" in the principal declaration document for Ashcroft West is the same as the "Common Open Space" now being used. b. [18 -3.1] Definition of Common Open Space. Please revise Subdivision Note #14 to state, "Ashcroft Home Owners Association will own and control all common open space." Revision #1: Textual edit is accepted. No further action is needed for this comment. c. [14 -303D] Acreage of Lots. / [14 -224A] The agent shall make a good faith effort to identify all deficiencies. For clarification and tracking purposes, please label the new common open space acreage and add a "Total Area in Common Open Space Summary" (beginning with 83.30 acres as shown in the subdivision plat for SUB - 2008 -084). Revision #1: A Total Area in Common Open Space Summary has not been added. Previously approved lots exist that are not shown on this plat. Although the lots do not have to be shown individually, a callout box should be used to show the general location of previously approved lots. Common open space needs to be shown for the entire parcel: TMP 62 -29AL The 25% is for the entire Ashcroft West area and the common open space as shown is significantly reduced from the 83.30 acres shown in SUB - 2008 -084. In order to verify that a full 25% of the Ashcroft West area is designated as common open space, the common open space should be delineated in proportion to the currently proposed lots AND previously approved lots, not just to the currently proposed lots. Revision #2: Designation of common open space is accepted. The supplementary declaration for common open space and other maintenance has been received, but the draft copy provided has errors. It is not in a form acceptable to forward to the County Attorney at this time. Please revise and provide a hard copy through the Community Development front desk to the attention of Joanne Tu Purtsezova. Once a hard copy is supplied, a copy will be forwarded to the County Attorney for review and approval. 4. [ZMA- 1994 -016 Condition #11 Maximum 28 dwelling units. Earlier sections of Ashcroft included a tabulation chart that indicated an on -going total number of lots for this development. A tabulation chart should be updated to include lots added with this phase. Revision #1: The counts shown in the tabulation chart appear to be incorrect. Previously approved lots exist, which should be subtracted from the maximum dwelling unit /lot count. Please update the tabulation chart to include lots which have been previous approved as well as currently proposed lots. Revision #2: No change in status. The lot tabulation method/format has not been provided as requested. The format below was provided previously by e -mail on January 31, 2012 at 3:36 PM. The current lot tabulation method does not provide sufficient information for tracking purposes and is also incorrect. The file, SUB- 2011 -075, which is referenced in a -mails as well as on the current revised copy of the plat, is for the road only. No approved lots are associated with this plat. In fact, the as -built plan associated with SUB- 2011 -075 states: "Lots 151 -178 as shown are for illustrative purposes only!! No lots have been recorded as of the date of this as -built plan." Please explicitly list out any and all approved lots in an accurate lot tabulation chart that is in the form below or an acceptable, equivalent substitute. ZMA- YEAR - ## Total Approved -X SUB - YEAR - ## (Recorded DB and page number) - Y SUB - YEAR - ## (approved but not recorded) — W 5. 'General Comment: *It appears that not all conditions of the preliminary plat approval have been met. Please see below: Zoning & Current Development approval to include: ❑ Conditions of the ZMA require County attorney approval of Homeowner Association documents including any maintenance agreement. REVISION #1: Please supply any relevant documents, including maintenance agreements, to be forwarded to the County Attorney. REVISION #2: The private street maintenance agreement provided has been reviewed by the County Attorney's office. The maintenance agreement may be approved once ownership on the plat as well as in the maintenance agreement is clarified. Who is the owner? Ashcroft West, LLC or Liberty Land, LLC? The plat and the maintenance agreement should explicitly reference the correct ownership. Also: See 3c. above. Fire & Rescue approval to include: ❑ Approval is subject to field inspection and verification. REVISION #1: Review comments for Fire and Rescue (fire requirements) were previously provided by Jay Schlothauer. Review has been transferred to ACSA. A copy of revision #2 will be forwarded again to Fire and Rescue and final plat approval will be subject to field inspection and verification. REVISION #2:. No change in status. Revision #2 has not been forwarded to Fire and Rescue because previously provided comments by Jay Schlothauer on behalf of Fire and Rescue do not appear to have been addressed. ACSA follow -up review comments to Fire and Rescue comments indicate that the current application does not match approved construction plans and that construction plans have expired. Verify that fire protection requirements have been met. A copy of revision #3 will be forwarded to Fire and Rescue. Final plat approval is also still subject to field inspection and verification. Health Dept. approval to include: ❑ Health Department verification of suitability of drainfield primary and reserve locations. REVISION #1: A copy of revision #2 will be forwarded to the Health Dept once the typical drainfield locations that were included with the original submission are restored to their original locations. Health Dept. approval is pending. REVISION #2: No change in status. Health Dept. approval appears to have been previously provided with the preliminary plat SUB - 2006 -375. However, the typical drainfield locations that were included with the original submission for the current application still need to be restored to their original locations. Since the lot acreages deviate slightly from the lot acreages associated with the approval letter dated August 2, 2007, the Health Dept. needs to confirm that their approval still stands for the slightly varied lots.
