Subject: SUB 2012 — 00040 Two Lot Subdivision (Frank) - Final
Fax 434 - 972 -4126
The County of Albemarle Division of Current Development will grant or recommend approval of the
subdivision plat referenced above once the following comments have been addressed: [Each comment
is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision /Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise
specified.]
1. [14 -309 & 14 -310] Soil evaluations; Health Director Approval of wells and septic systems. Provide
three copies of the results of percolation tests or other methods of soil evaluation used to
determine the suitability of the soil for septic systems with conventional drain fields for review and
approval by the Health Department. (This requirement is for both the proposed lot and the residue
lot to assure each lot has the capability to obtain both a primary and a reserve drainfield onsite).
2. [14 -400] Minimum Lot Requirements. Each lot must have a minimum of 250' of frontage on a state
maintained road or have 150' of frontage on an internal private street. As depicted Lot A and the
residue of TM 58 -15 appear to accomplish the frontage through the second option. In order to
assure this is the case, on the plat label the proposed variable width access easement with a
minimum width of 30 foot. This will provide each lot (Lot A and the residue) the required frontage
they need.
3. [14- 232(8)(2)] Private street authorization. A private street may be authorized within a two -lot
subdivision if the division contains only two lots and the private street will serve only those lots and
will be the sole and direct means of access to a public street. Please add a note indicating that the
proposed 30' private street will be the sole and direct means of access onto State Route 708, Dry
Bridge Road for both Lot A & the residue of TMP 58 -15.
4. [14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. Provide maintenance
agreement for the 30 foot private access easement to forward to the County Attorney's office for
review and approval. Attached is a template to develop the maintenance agreement. Please submit
the draft to me and I will review and forward to County Attorney for his review.
5. [14 -316] Approval of entrance onto public streets. The subdivider shall submit, prior to or with the
final plat, evidence satisfactory to the agent that the entrance of the principal means of access for
each lot onto any existing or proposed public street complies with Virginia Department of
Transportation standards. For this subdivision provide VDOT approval of the existing entrance for
the 30' private right of way off State Route 708.
6. [14- 302(6)(8)] Yards. On sheet 1 provide the setbacks: Front along 30' private easement is 25 feet ,
Front along Route 708 is 75 feet, Side 25 feet, Rear 35 feet.
7. [14- 302(A)12] Topography. Provide topography on the plat; assure all critical slopes are shown.
8. [14- 302(A)(10)] Right of further division of proposed lots. Has the boundary lines of TMP 58 -15 been
modified since December 10, 1980? If not, it would appear TMP 58 -15 currently retains all 5 original
development rights which were issued on said date. If this is the case, on the plat revise note #10 for
development rights as follows: "Lot A is assigned 1 development right and may not be further
divided. The residue of Tax Map /Parcel 58 -15 is retaining 4 development rights."
9. [14- 302(6)(5)] Zoning Classification. The zoning classification of the property, including all applicable
zoning overlay districts, proffers, special use permits and variances. The magisterial district of the
property is incorrectly labeled on the plat. Revise the plat to provide the correct district: Samuel
Miller District. Revise on both sheet 1 and 2.
10. [14- 302(6)(7)] Reservior watershed. A notation as to whether the land is within an Albemarle County
and /or City of Charlottesville water supply watershed. While you have correctly identified that the
property is within a water supply watershed, it is necessary to depict which one. The property is
within the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir Watershed; provide this notation on the plat.
11. [Comment] On sheet 1, under Surveyor's Certificate the date listed for when the monuments will be
set for this division has passed. Currently it is listed as "December 5, 2008." Revise if appropriate.
12. [Comment] On sheet 1, Note #5 there is a minor typographical error through the inclusion of
repetitive wording for "Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance" revise if desired.
13. [Comment] There appears to be a minor typographical error in the spelling of "Rural" in the title of
the plat as depicted on sheet 1 and 2. Revise if appropriate.
14. [14- 302(6)(1)] General Information. When the plat is revised, please provide the date of the last
revision on the plat.
15. [Comment from County Engineering Staff] Please note, only one stream crossing will be allowed for
the access to a building site. In addition, no stream crossing to the North -east area will be allowed
per County Ordinance with the property lines as shown. A mitigation plan will be required upon
submittal of a building permit.
