Additional comments or conditions may be 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.] [14- 302(A) 5] Public easements. Please submit a Deed of Drainage Easement, for review and approval by the County Attorney's Office, for all stormwater easements proposed to be dedicated to public use. Rev1: Comment not addressed. Rev2: Comment not addressed. Rev3: Comment not fully addressed. Comments from the County Attorney's Office have been provided; it seems the ownership listed on the plat doesn't match the ownership listed in the deed of easement. It appears the plat is incorrect and should be revised to indicate "Wickham Two Holdings, LTD" as the owner and signatory. The plat listed "Wickham Two Holdings, LTD" as the owner on previous revisions, but perhaps was changed incorrectly to address the comment below regarding the common area. Please revise the owner and signatory information on the plat back to "Wickham Two Holdings, LTD ". Additionally, the title for Vito Cetta as the signatory on the deed needs to be revised; see the County Attorney's comments for additional information. 2. [14- 302(A)8] Proposed lots. List the number of proposed lots in the notes section. Rev1: Comment addressed. 3. [14- 302(A)9] Building sites on proposed lots. The building site note provided refers to the existing parcels, when it should refer to the proposed parcels; please revise. The note should include a reference to the previously approved critical slope waiver (approved 11/9/10). Rev1: Comment addressed. 4. [14- 302(A)14] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved. Provide the location and acreage of all land intended to be dedicated in fee or reserved for public use, or to be reserved in a deed for the common use of lot owners in the subdivision. The preliminary plat and previous final plat appear to indicate that a portion of TMP 55 -91 should be common area; however County GIS doesn't show that this area has been subdivided. The Wickham Pond Code of Development shows that 5.2 acres of green space /amenities would be provided in Block 1. Please clarify when this open space will be provided and include it on this plat, if necessary, as residue labeled 'common area'. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. It doesn't appear that the common area parcel was actually created when the previous plat was recorded, even though the acreage listed in County records indicates that the area was subtracted from the overall acreage of the parcel; as discussed via phone, I will try to resolve this issue with Real Estate and will let you know if further action is required. Rev2: Comment addressed. 5. [14- 302(B)5] Zoning classification. Please revise the zoning note to indicate that TMP 55 -91 is not in the entrance corridor. Rev1: Comment addressed. 6. [14- 302(B)8] Yards. In addition to a front setback, there is also a 'build -to' distance of 30' for single - family detached, and 20' for single - family attached; please add this information to the setback notes. Revl: Comment addressed. 7. [14- 302(B)8] Yards. The side setback for single - family attached units is 0 -7'; please revise this information in the setback notes. Rev1: Comment addressed. 8. [14- 302(B)8] Yards. Please provide documentation for the 7.5' front setback noted for Lot 4-48 138, there doesn't appear to be any reference to this in the Code of Development or subsequent variation. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. The 7.5' front setback is still listed in the `setback exceptions' notes on Sheet 2; please revise. Rev2: Comment addressed. 9. [14- 303(D)] Acreage of lots. Please provide the acreage of the existing parcel and the residue after this phase of the subdivision. Clarifying the common area as indicated above should resolve this issue. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. As discussed via phone, please remove reference to TMP 56- 91 B from the plat; it has been determined that the acreage from this parcel was previously conveyed and is now a part of TMP 56 -91. Rev2: Comment addressed. 10. [14- 303(G)] Ownership of common areas. As indicated under land to be dedicated in fee or reserved' above, please clarify the ownership of the 'Common Area' and add any necessary information to both the plat and the notes section. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. Once the common area parcel is created, this comment should be resolved. Rev2: Comment not fully addressed. The plat states that Wickham Two Holdings owns the common area parcel; however, a Supplemental Declaration recorded in DB 4216 PG 180 seems to convey the common area to Wickham Pond Community Association, Inc. Please verify ownership and change the notes and labels on the plat if the common area was conveyed. Rev3: Comment addressed. The common area is and should be labeled with Wickham Pond Community Association as the owner; the parcel being subdivided should be revised back to Wickham Two Holdings as indicated in comment #1. 11. [14- 303(N)] Statement pertaining to private streets. Please add the following note for Allyn Alley: "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. " Rev1: Comment addressed. However, please clarify that this statement is for Allyn Alley only, as the other streets are intended to be public. Rev2: Comment addressed. 12. [14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. Please provide a road maintenance agreement for Allyn Alley or, if one was established with the previous phase, provide a supplemental declaration that adds the proposed portion of the alley to that agreement. This document will be reviewed by the County Attorney's office. Rev1: Comment not addressed. Rev2: Comment not addressed. Vito Cetta provided a copy of a Private Street Maintenance Agreement through email, but I can't find any record of the recordation of this agreement. Please provide either a recorded copy, or provide a new agreement for review and approval by the County Attorney's Office. Rev3: Comment not fully addressed. Comments from the County Attorney's Office have been provided; it seems the ownership listed on the plat doesn't match the ownership listed in the declaration. It appears the plat is incorrect and should be revised to indicate "Wickham Two Holdings, LTD" as the owner and signatory. Please revise the owner and signatory information on the plat back to "Wickham Two Holdings, LTD" as requested above. Additionally, the title for Vito Cetta as the signatory on the declaration needs to be revised; see the County Attorney's comments for additional information. 13.
