Subject: Revised Comments for SUB 2012 — 00037 Dollens — BLA
Fax 434 - 972 -4126
Comments on the above referenced plat were initially submitted to the applicant on April 16, 2012,
after discussions with the surveyor and senior staff the comment letter has been revised , this is the
revised letter. The County of Albemarle Division of Current Development will grant or recommend
approval of the BLA 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 TMP 71 -30. This information will assure
the lot has the capability to obtain both a primary and a reserve drainfield onsite).
2. [14- 302(A)(9)] Building Site. While the existing house is to remain on what is depicted on the plat as
TMP 71 -30C, the County needs to assure that there is buildable area on the lot. Please show a
building site on this lot that meets Chapter 18 Section 4.2.1 This may require the "new property
line" be adjusted so the building site is not in the flood zone, or the 100' stream buffer, or on critical
slopes.
3. [14- 302(A)(9)] Building Site. The building site which is shown on TMP 71 -30 is not a rectangle, in
order to meet the requirements of the ordinance revise the building site to be rectangular in shape.
4. [14- 302(8)(10)] Stream Buffers. The lines on the plat for the stream buffer (which are also
mentioned on the plat as being the boundaries for the Flood zone: note #6) do not appear to
consistently be 100' from the stream. Northern portions of the existing line appear to be more than
100 feet from the stream (which is consistent with Chapter 17 Section 317(B) of the Water
Protection Ordinance, please leave these lines as shown); however, southern portions of the existing
line appear to be below 100 feet. Assure the stream buffer is a minimum of 100 feet wide on each
side of the stream. It is recommended a separate line be developed specifically for the stream buffer
where the flood zone is less than 100' from the stream.
5. [Comment] Septic systems must be at a minimum 100 feet from all streams. Revise note #7 and
assure that the septic system is in fact at a minimum 100 feet from any stream.
6. [14- 302(A)(10)] Right of further division of proposed lots. On the plat revise note #4 so it complies
with the ordinance as specific to this property. "Parcel [letter or number] is assigned [number]
development rights and may /may not be further divided and when further divided these rights shall
not comprise more than [number] acres. The residue of Tax Map /Parcel [numbers] is retaining
[number] development rights and when further divided it shall not consist of more than [number]
acres."
7. [14- 302(8)(7)] Reservior watershed. Revise note #3 to state that the property is in the Upper
Mechums River Water Supply Watershed which is a part of the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir Water
Supply Watershed.
8. [14- 303(0)] Signature panels. On the plat omit the signature lines for the Planning Commission, as
this is not applicable any longer. Also there appears to be a minor typographical error with regard to
the signature line for the "Agent for the Board of Supervisors." Revise the signature line so that the
date does not break up the title of the "Agent for the Board of Supervisors."
9. [14- 302(A)(3)] Existing or platted streets. The location, width and names of all existing or
platted streets and all other rights -of -way. For the existing "private gravel road ", Dollens
Hollow, please provide the width of the Right -of -way on the plat.
10. [14- 302(8)(1)] General Information. When the plat is revised, please provide the date of the last
revision on the plat.
