Subject: SUB 201300113 Christopher Gordon — Rural Subdivision Plat
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the Final 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. [14-309 & 14-310] Soil evaluations& Health director approval of septic systems. The submitted soils
evaluations were forwarded to the Health Department on August 16; the plat cannot be approved until their
approval is received.
2. [14-316] Approval of entrance onto public streets. Please provide VDOT approval of the proposed
entrances.
3. [14-308.1/17-402] Tier // Groundwater Assessment. A Tier 11 Groundwater Assessment fee ($330) was paid;
however, such an assessment is not required for lots over 21 acres. Planning staff spoke w/ Brian Ray on 8-
15-13 and confirmed that if the study was not required by the ordinance that the applicant did not want to
move forward w/ the study and would opt for a refund of the fee. Thus a refund of the fee has been
requested (a total of $330). Per County policy the payment will be mailed back to Gordon & Company as
they are the organization who paid the fee.
4. [Engineering Department Comment] This division appears to necessitate more than one stream crossing
for access to building sites. The first stream crossing is by-right with mitigation per 17-320. A second
(and/or third) crossing requires a mitigation plan per 17-321, which must be reviewed, approved and bonded
prior to plat approval.
