[14- 302(8)(7)] Reservoir watershed. Revise the note regarding the watershed to read, `Tax map 61 parcels
157 and 158 lie within the Upper Rivanna River watershed, and are not located within a water supply
protection area'.
Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. Please word the note exactly as shown above. Currently, the
note states `Tax map 61 parcels 157 and 158 lie within the Upper Rivanna watersupp /y watershed,
and are not located within a water supply protection area'; please remove the `water supply' after
' Rivanna'.
4. [14 -312)] Location of existing buildings. Provide the location of all existing buildings within fifty (50) feet of
any proposed easement line.

[Comment] Issues remain regarding VDOT and their acceptance of the sidewalk. VDOT will not accept an
easement for maintenance; right- of -way must be provided including a minimum of 1' behind the sidewalk for
all portions of sidewalk where VDOT maintenance is anticipated. I have discussed this with Joel and there
are apparently two possible solutions; 1) submit a boundary line adjustment that dedicates additional r/w to
include all of the sidewalk /trail and a foot beyond, or 2) submit a Deed of Easement that will dedicate an
easement to the county for public use. Option 2 would indicate that the developer expects that the County
would maintain the sidewalk upon dedication of the easement, but the County attorney does not know of any
agreement that has been entered into where the County agreed to take on this responsibility. The preferred
and likely most efficient option is to dedicate additional right -of -way; this allows for continuous maintenance of
the entire length of sidewalk by one entity and does not involve a separate agreement with the County.
