Date: April 3, 2013
Subject: SUB 2013- 00029 Briarwood- Final Subdivision Plat prior to a Preliminary
Fax 434 - 972 -4126
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will approve the plat referenced above once the following comments
have been satisfactorily addressed (The following comments are those that have been identified at this time.
Additional comments or conditions may added or eliminated based on further review.): [Each comment is
preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision /Zoning. Ordinances unless otherwise
specified.]
1. [14- 302(8)5] Zoning classification. Proffers apply to this site and must be noted on this plat as well as future
plats and plans.
2. [Proffer 1] The maximum dwelling. units permitted in Briarwood is 661. Proffer 9 provides a
table for the proposed lot mix. A table providing the existing and proposed dwelling units by section
must be provided on the plat and updated with each submittal. Notably Lots 53A and 23A were not shown
on approved site plans or the application plan, please explain them. Revise.
3. [Proffer 11] Lots 14 through 22 in section 1A -1 are delineated on approved site plans as affordable units,
thus they are subject to Proffer #11. These lots must be identified on this plat as affordable units and are
subject to the restrictions and notice as contained in this proffer. Revise.
4. [ZMA20050009 Application Plan] (This comment is merely for information purposes). Note #5 on the
application plan states: "The developer shall provide one interparcel connection to Camelot subdivision. The
said connection shall be provided at Point "A" or `B" as shown. And will be determined with Final
engineering design. The connection shall be approved and bonded prior to the issuance of any building
permits for homes in phase 4." It appears that the developer has chosen Point "B" to connect to Camelot
subdivision as this plat fails to utilize Point "A" to connect.
5. [Comment, Proffer 6] The `Tree Save Area' at the rear of lots 22 - "23A" (1,358sf), as shown on the
approved final site plan, should be taken into account on Lots 22 — "23A" as this may affect their buildable
area; please label this area accordingly.
6. [14 -400; 18 -19.6, Proffer #1] Minimum Area Requirements for Open Space and Recreational Uses in PRD
District. On the plat delineate and label the required open space, also delineate the limits of any "Tot Lot"
within the open space. Also on the plat provide a table which accounts for /tracks the open space for this
section.
A minimum of 25% of the area devoted to residential use shall be in common open space. Roads may not
count towards common open space requirements. Common open space shall be "owned and /or controlled
by the residents of such development." Therefore, please delineate on the plat what is to be "common open
space;" be clear as to whether this land is to be dedicated to the HOA, or controlled by the HOA. If you wish
to own it and let the HOA control it, submit a document for County Attorney review, keep in mind this
document is more than a maintenance agreement; it is a to be an instrument by which the HOA will literally
control all aspects of the common open space. If you wish to dedicate it to the HOA, you may include the
it
maintenance of the common open space in the maintenance agreement of the private streets and tot lots.
a: For land above and beyond the required 25% that you not dedicate to the HOA or put under HOA
control, you must submit a maintenance agreement in order for final subdivision plat approval.
7. [14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. Documents relevant to dedication
and /or maintenance of open space must be provided for review to the County Attorney in order for final
subdivision plat approval. Please submit a draft of this document to me and I will review it and forward it to
the County Attorney for his review/ approval.
8. [14- 302(A)4 & 14 -317] Private easements & Instrument evidencing maintenance. The private street
easement for Pocoson Wood Court (private road) should be 'conveyed' to the developments Homeowners
Association. A maintenance agreement shall also be submitted for review /approval by the County
Attorney's Office. Please submit a draft of this document to me and I will review it and forward it to the
County Attorney for his review/ approval.
9. [14- 303(E)] Dimension standards and information on all lots, streets, alleys, easements, and shared
driveways.. Easements shown for private streets shall be labeled as "private street easement ". Also, the
easement holder(s) shall be identified on the plat. Revise the plat as appropriate to address the above
comment.
10. [14 -303F] Identification of sections, blocks, and lots. Please provide overall layout/phasing plan with the
plat; it is important to identify overall street layout and how the plan fits into the existing street network.
Please label applicable phases and open space on this new sheet of the plat.
11. [14 -303F] It appears there is a variation request in our office to modify the phasing of the project, specifically
in the phase that is the subject of this subdivision plat. Upon review of the variation request additional
comments may be forthcoming.
12. [14 -213A, 14- 302(6)8] Proposed lots & Building sites and proposed lots. The setbacks for the project are
front= 20', side= 6', rear 5', and building separation= 12'. On sheet 1 under setbacks assure the "12' building
separation" is noted. Also provide a note which states "No minimum lot area is specified"
13. [4.2.1] On sheet 1 revise the note: "Tax Map 32G -1 and the residue of Tax Map 32G Parcel 1 each contains
a building site..." assure (if applicable) that the revised note states that "Each lot in the development
including the residue of TMP 32G -1 contains a building site that complies with section 4.2.1 of the Albemarle
County Zoning Ordinance."
14. [14 -317, 303L] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. A Deed of Dedication and
Deed of Easement is needed for the drainage easements shown on the plat. The applicant should contact
the County's Attorney's Office for the most recent deed template for drainage easements to be included with
the next submittal of the plat. Please submit a draft of this document to me and I will review it and forward it
to the County Attorney for his review/ approval.
15. [14 -303L] Public utility, drainage, and sight distance easements. Sight distance easements are required at
the intersection of Jersey Pine Ridge and Sunset Drive specifically over Lots 46 -48 as shown on the
approved Road Plans. Revise to assure the required sight distance easements are provided as the
approved road plan specifies.
16. [Comment] On the plat Sunset Drive abruptly ends at Lot 43; however this is not adequate. Either provide a
temporary turnaround at Sunset Drive and it shall be bonded to include the turnaround, or all of Sunset
Drive may be bonded to the existing road. Please note that the temp turnaround must meet standards /be
approved by VDOT and Fire and Rescue.
17. [14 -303] Temporary Turnarounds. If the temporary turnaround option is chosen, on the plat provide the
following note: "The area on this plat designated as temporary turnaround will be constructed and used as
other streets in the subdivision until (street name) is /are extended to (street name), at which time the land in
the temporary turnaround area will be abandoned for street purposes and will revert to adjoining property
owners in accordance with specific provisions in their respective deeds."
18. [Comment] Per recorded plat (DB 4132 -475) Jersey Pine Ridge contained a temporary turnaround near Lot
16. Does the previous temp turnaround need to be abandoned on this plat?
19. [14 -303S] Control points. Control points must be submitted. At the option of the subdivider, the control
points may be shown on a copy of the final plat, rather than on the original final plat.
