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.] Conditions of Preliminary Plat Approval (from approval letter dated 10/19/12): [14- 302(A)8] Proposed lots. Revise the minimum development density note to indicate 75 dwelling units, not 74. Final Plat: Please provide the number of lots (total, and in each block) and the minimum and maximum density on the Cover Sheet. Be sure to include the minimum and maximum number of carriage house units for each block. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. The list of approved densities and minimum & maximum dwelling units (by type) per block on the Cover Sheet references old information; the tables on Sheet 2 are correct, but the cover contains information from prior to variation #38. Please revise the information on the Cover Sheet to match what is presented in the updated tables on Sheet 2. 2. [14- 302(B)8] Yards. Show both the minimum and maximum front setbacks on all lots. Lots 177 -181 are missing the 16' maximum setback line. Final Plat: Condition addressed. 3. [Code of Development] & [14- 302(A)14] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved. Update Table 4 to reflect the changes to all green space and amenities requirements as approved with Variation #45. This shall include the following: a) The 0.07 acre reduction of `Park E', now 0.53 acres. b) The 1.15 acre reduction of `Park G', now 0.75 acres. c) The 1.26 acre addition to `Open Space Block 9', now 1.76 acres. d) The 0.02 acre increase in the `Block 9, Preservation Easement' conservation area, now 0.09 acres. e) The 0.17 acres increase in the `Block 9, Preservation Easement' preservation area, now 0.8 acres. f) The updated Table 4 showing only the changes listed above must be provided as part of an updated Belvedere Code of Development and Application Plan reflecting all variations approved since February 2, 2010 (the latest Code revision date) comprehensively prior to Final Plat approval. g) Prior to final subdivision plat approval for Belvedere Phase 2, a landscape plan must be provided for the required amenity areas shown on the general development plan and described in the code of development. The plan must show the minimum features as required by the Belvedere Code of Development for Parks E (Dabney Park) and G (Griffen Park). Final Plat: Please provide an updated Code of Development as described in "f" above. Rev1: Comment not addressed. 4. [Code of Development] Correct the table provided to track minimum and maximum residential densities and unit types to reflect the accurate number of SFA and Apts /MF in Block 2. The table currently indicates 25 SFA and 296 Apts /MF, but the maximum SFA for this block is 19. Per a Zoning determination dated February 8, 2011, six (6) units within Buildings 12 and 13 in The Reserve at Belvedere are considered multifamily dwellings units for zoning purposes. Therefore, these figures should be revised to 19 SFA and 302 Apts /MF. Final Plat: This should be corrected on the next preliminary plat to provide for correct tracking of overall densities and unit types. Rev1: Comment not addressed. Since this table is provided on Sheet 2, the correction should also be made on this plat. 5. [Code of Development] Plat/Road Plans and Table 8 must reflect the changes to all road sections as approved with Variation #48. This shall include the following: a) Road G (Colbert Street) - Section (4) total r/w width has been revised from 52' to 53'. Face of curb to face of curb dimension of 28' does not change. Design speed is changed from 20 mph to 25 mph. Parking is allowed on one side. b) Road X (Griffen Grove) and Road R (Dabney Grove) (not designated in original rezoning plan) have been designed with a 32' f /c -f /c, and a 57' R/W. Design speed is 25 mph with parking allowed on both sidest. c) Roads H (Barnett Street) and I (Shelton Street) have been designed to conform to a modified version of section (5) with a r/w of 57' and a f/c — f/c width of 32'. Design speed has been changed from 20 mph to 25 mph. d) Road D (Farrow Road) - Section (6) from the rezoning plan has been revised to 34' f /c -f /c and 59' RM. The proposed section now allows parking on both sides of the road. On- street parking bumpouts have been removed from the plan. e) An updated Table 8 showing all of the changes listed above must be provided as part of an updated Code of Development and Application Plan reflecting all variations approved since February 2, 2010 (the latest Code revision date) comprehensively prior to Final Plat approval. f) Shift the Phase line for Phase 2 to include the entire R/W for Road I, including the planting strip and sidewalk.

Final Plat: Comment addressed on Road and WPO applications. Final Plat Comments: 1. [14- 302(A)4 &5] Private and Public Easements. Label all existing and proposed easements and include the owner of record (if existing). Please also label proposed public easements as `dedicated to public use'. Additionally, clarify the easements that extend off -site including who is granting the easement and to whom. Rev1: Comment addressed. 2. [14- 302(A)8] Proposed lots. Provide the number of lots (total and in each block) and the minimum and maximum density on the Cover Sheet. Be sure to include the minimum and maximum number of carriage house units for each block. Rev1: Comment addressed. 3. [14- 302(B)l] General information. The scale provided on sheet 2 appears to be incorrect; please revise. Rev1: Comment addressed. 4. [14- 302(6)8] Yards. Carriage house setback information should also be provided on the Cover Sheet. It may be easiest to just include a copy of Table 9 from the Code of Development instead of listing each requirement separately. Rev1: Comment addressed. 5. [14- 303(A)] Statement of consent to division. It appears that several proposed off -site easements are shown on the plat. Each property owner will need to sign the plat unless a separate easement plat is submitted and recorded prior to Final Plat approval. As such, additional statements of consent will be necessary. Rev1: Comment addressed. 6. [14- 303(G)] Ownership of common areas. Note the intended owner of all open space, conservation areas and preservation areas. Rev1: Comment addressed. 7. [14- 303(N)] Statement pertaining to private streets. If the subdivision will contain one or more private streets, include the following statement: "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." This applies to all alleys within the subdivision. Rev1: Comment addressed. 8. [1 4-303(0&P)] Signature & Notary panels. As noted above, it appears that several proposed off -site easements are shown on the plat. Each property owner will need to sign the plat unless a separate easement plat is submitted and recorded prior to Final Plat approval. As such, additional signature and notary panels will be necessary. Rev1: Comment addressed. 9. [14- 303(Q)] Water supply. Add a statement as to whether the subdivision will be served by a public water supply and a public sewer system. Rev1: Comment addressed. 10. [14- 303(S)] Control points. Include at least four (4) control points, evenly distributed across the property and located at survey property corners, and shown on each sheet depicting the property. It seems there are only three control points provided, though I may be overlooking one. Rev1: Comment addressed. 11. [14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvement. If the subdivision will contain one (1) or more improvements that are not to be maintained by the county or any authority or other public agency, the subdivider shall submit with the final plat an instrument assuring the perpetual maintenance of the improvement. This applies to all private streets, parks, trails, open space areas and stormwater facilities. Rev1: Comment not addressed. 12.
