RE: SUB- 201200090 Belvedere Town Center Phase 1- Preliminary Plat
Mr. Garrett:
The Department of Community Development hereby grants administrative approval to the above referenced
preliminary subdivision plat.
The preliminary plat is valid for five (5) years from the date it is approved, pursuant to Section 14 -228 of
Chapter 14 of the Albemarle County Code, provided that the subdivider submits a final plat for all or a portion
of the property within one (1) year (September 19, 2013) of the approval as provided in section 14 -221, and
thereafter diligently pursues approval of the final plat. After three (3) years (September 19, 2015) following
preliminary plat approval, the agent may, after ninety (90) days' written notice provided by certified mail to the
subdivider, revoke the approval upon a specific finding of facts that the subdivider failed to diligently pursue
approval of the final plat. The failure to officially submit a final plat as provided in section 14 -221 within the
one (1) year period shall render the approval of the preliminary plat null and a new application must be filed and
processed.
Please address all of the requirements and conditions listed below and submit eight (8) tentative plat copies to
the Department of Community Development. This letter must be submitted with the tentative plats, as a
checklist, to document that you have addressed all requirements or conditions, or the tentative plat will be
denied.
Erosion and Sediment Control, BMP Stormwater Management, and road plans with the associated applications
and fees must also be submitted with the eight (8) tentative Plats.
Once the tentative plat is submitted and reviewed, you will receive comments from all
departments /divisions /agencies that have made comment on the tentative plat. Any further responses
must be made directly to each department /division /agency that has further comment. After all
aforementioned departments /divisions /agencies have granted a tentative approval, you must verify with
the Planner that you may submit the final plat mylar or other media original and any remaining fees to
the Department of Community Development. Assuming that the final plat reflects all tentative approvals,
signing of the plat will occur within four days.
The final plat will be subject to all final plat requirements (Subdivision Ordinance Section 14.206), in addition
to the following conditions.
The Department of Community Development shall not accept submittal of the final plat for signature until
tentative approvals for the following conditions have been obtained. The final plat shall not be signed until the
following conditions are met:
Plannine approval to include:
❑ [14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. An instrument must be
submitted, and approved by the County Attorney's office, for the maintenance of all privately
owned improvements.
❑ [14- 302(A)5] Public easements. Utility easements must be labeled with reference to the
specific utility (water, sewer, etc) not simply a generic `utility'.
❑ [14- 302(A)14] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved. The ownership of the common area
should be clarified; it is currently labeled `Belvedere Station Land Trust', but it seems it should
either be the Belvedere HOA, or Belvedere Town Center LLC if the HOA hasn't been
established.
Albemarle County Service Authority approval to include:
❑ The easement names still need to be corrected. They cannot be labeled as utility easements.
They need to be noted as either New ACSA Water Easement Hereby Dedicated to ACSA, New
ACSA Sewer Easement Hereby Dedicated to ACSA or New ACSA Water and Sewer Easement
Hereby Dedicated to ACSA.
Please contact Alexander Morrison at 977 -4511 ext. 116 if you have questions or require additional
information.
VDOT approval to include:
❑ The plat needs to show line data on the sight distance easement.
❑ The plat needs to show the storm sewer drainage easement for a pipe on Belvedere Blvd that is
shown in the approved site plan.
Please contact Joel DeNunzio at 589 -5871 if you have questions or. require additional - information.
