Perez, Senior Planner Division: Current Development Date: November 21, 2012 Subject: SU B 2012— 00078 Wright - Fa m i ly Fax 434-972-4126 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. Rev 1. While a labeled has been added to the plat, ""New 50'x150'Access Esmt"'. the plat lacks a depiction of where this easement is located? Revise to depict the easements location. 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 state highways and will not be maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation or the County of Albemarle." Rev 1. The statement has been added (Note: #6) but there is a typographical error which must be corrected. The statement on the plat utilized the terminology "**VA Dept of Highways".- however, the statement should read, ""VA Dept of Transportation"". Please revise to meet the requirements of the ordinance. 3. [14-212C & 14-316] Approval of entrances onto public streets. Before final plat approval can be granted provide VDOT approval for the existing entrances for each Parcel; Parcel A and Parcel B. Rev 1. Comment has not been addressed. While these entrances are existing, they needs to be reviewed and approved by VDOT as we're creating new lots with this division and we need to be sure the entrances are adequate. 4. [14-302(A)IO]Right offurther division of proposed lots. The required development rights note does not appear on the plat. Please research the property's development rights history and provide a correct development rights note that reads: "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 [letters or numbers] is retaining [number] development rights and when further divided it shall not consist of more than [number] acres." Include all applicable portions of the above note. Rev 1. Comment has not been adequately addressed. While the note has been added, the portion which reads: Parcel A "shall not comprise more than 37.31 acres" and Parcel 8 "shall not comprise more than 34.47 acres" is incorrect. These two acreages when added cannot be over 31 acres. Please call me if you have any questions. The acreages that would replace those provided will depend on how you assign the DRs for the lots. For example: If the parcels are going to all be split down the line equally; 31 acres divided by 5 DR equals 6.2 acres per Development Right. Thus Parcel A "shall not comprise more than 12.4 acres" and Parcel 8 "shall not comprise more than 18.6 acres ". 5. [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. Rev 1. Comment has not been addressed. 6. [14 -212] Affidavit. Please provide the required signed/ notarized affidavit verifying the grantee is an immediate family member of the grantor. For your convenience a blank affidavit form is attached. Rev 1. Comment has not been addressed. 7. [14- 212(8)] Family subdivisions; conditions of approval. The subdivider shall place a restrictive covenant on the lots created by the family subdivision prohibiting the transfer of the lots so created to a person who is not a member of the immediate family for the retention period after the date of recordation. A template for this covenant is attached. Please submit a draft of the restrictive covenant to me, and I will review them and forward them to the County Attorney for his review/ approval. Rev 1. Comment has not been addressed. 8. [14- 302(8)(5)] Zoning classification. Assure that the Magisterial District on the plat is correctly listed as Scottsville Magisterial District. Rev 1. Comment has not been addressed. Under the title of the plat, the Magisterial District of the property is listed as "Rivanna District ". however, County records indicate this property is located in the "Scottsville Magisterial District." Revise. 9. [14- 302(8)(1)] General Information. When the plat is revised, please provide the date of the last revision on the plat. Rev 1. Comment has not been addressed. The date of the initial plat was March 9, 2012 and the revised date was not provided on the plat. Please provide this. 10. [14- 302B(2)] Name of plat preparer.
