The County of Albemarle Division of Current Development will grant or recommend approval of the
Family 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 -400] Minimum Lot Requirements. As depicted Parcel A lacks the required 250' of frontage on
the state road, thus the lot must have a minimum of 150' of frontage on an internal private road. In
order to accomplish this, on the plat provide a 30' wide private road access easement over the
existing gravel road for a minimum distance of 150'. This will provide Parcel A the required frontage
it needs to be plated as depicted.
2. [14- 303(N)] Statement pertaining to private streets. Provide the following note on the plat: "The
streets in this subdivision may not meet the standards for acceptance into the secondary system of

granted provide VDOT approval for the existing entrances for each Parcel; Parcel A and Parcel B.

not comprise more than [number] acres. The residue of Tax Map /Parcel [letters or numbers] is

6. [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 Parcel A and Parcel B) This
information will assure each lot has the capability to obtain both a primary and a reserve drainfield
onsite.
7. [14- 302(A)(9)] Building sites on proposed lots. Each lot created must have a building site that
complies with section 4.2.1. If applicable on the plat provide the required note for buildable area
