Perez, Senior Planner Division: Planning Date: September 15, 2014 Subject: SUB201400093 Hyland Ridge, Phase II - Final 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 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.] 2. [18 -13.3, 14- 303(D] Also, if the site is utilizing Bonus Cluster provision of the ordinance for R -1 zoning, the site requires 25% open space to be provided per the Cluster provisions in the ordinance. To assure this requirement is met, provide a calculation on the cover sheet to depict the 25% open space requirement is met, to exclude future phases and open space which have yet to be platted and is not the subject of the plat under review. Rev 1. Per the revised chart the development appears to have the required 25% open space in platted area and the subject area of this plat. During the reworking of the chart on sheet 1, staff noticed what appears to be a mathematical error/ typo for "Cumulative Dwelling Units in R -1 Zone (Phase 1, 3A, 3B, and 2) ". The chart lists 79; however, when the dwelling units provided in the chart are added together staff calculates 80 dwelling units. Please address this mathematical issue and revise the plat if needed. Also, for clarification purposes how is the 80.949 acres for "Cumulative Gross Area in R -1 Zone" formulated/ generated? When I add the areas of R -1 provided in the chart I do not get the 80.949acres. Please provide guidance on how this number is calculated. calculations for each lot in addition to acreages. Revise appropriately. Rev 1. Comment addressed. 4. [14 -403, 18- 4.6.1, 18 -13.3] Minimum Lot Frontage. Under the Bonus Cluster provision of the ordinance for R -1 zoning, each lot is required to have a minimum of 80' of frontage on a public or private road. The Culdesac lots are permitted a reduction in frontage per section 4.6.1, provided that driveway separation shall be in accordance with Virginia Department of Transportation standards. It appears Lot 83 and Lot 84 take advantage of this provision. For these two lots depict the driveways on the plat, and depict the front yard setbacks, which shall be measured as described in section 4.6.1(c), (front yards to where the minimum lot width is achievable). Rev 1. Comment addressed. 5. [14- 302(B)5] Zoning Classification.

Comment addressed. 6. [ZMA94 -06 Proffer 31 Ten trees per acre shall be provided or retained on all lot designated areas of the final approved plans. Deciduous trees shall be 1.5 to 2" in caliper; non - deciduous trees shall be four to five feet in height. Location shall be distributed among all lots. This proffer does not appear to be met. How does the applicant intend to meet tF -,roffer? Rev 1. Comment addressed. Zoning has determined the proffer is met. Assure that the plat is set to record with the Covenants and Restrictions which dictate trees. 7.

On the final plat for the SWM area (0.992 acres) depict the 100' buffer in its entirety to assure it is contained on the lot or does not interfere with development on adjacent lots. Rev 1. Per the applicant's request staff conferred with the County Engineer on the merits of the above requirement. Per the discussion, the County Engineer reviewed the WPO map and agrees the WPO buffers were shown in error on the map, he has since revised the map to be over the perennial stream which defines the southern property lines of the lots (see the revised WPO map at the bottom of the comment letter). Please revise the final plat to assure the buffers are accurately depicted per the revised map provided at the end of this comment letter. If the applicant does not agree with the revised map and seeks to adjust the buffers a possible option is to hire a 3rd party to do a proper stream assessment on the property using "the Fairfax method ". If the applicant would like to pursue this option it's in their best interest to contact the County Engineer for a full explanation of this process. 10. [14- 302(B)10] Stream buffers.

If a road plan has not been approved, such a plan shall be furnished to the County for review. Also, roads must be built or bonded prior to the signing of the final plat. Rev 1.

Please address both Engineering and VDOT comments provided below for the drainage easements depicted on the plat. Engineering: "Drainage easements to be maintained by VDOT with the road must be dedicated to public use. The drainage easements through lots will not be maintained by VDOT. These must be maintained by the HOA. " VDOT: "The drainage easements on Lots 72 through 82 should not be shown as public storm drain easements. The storm sewer associated with these easements appears to be for lot drainage only and will not be maintained by VDOT. " It appears certain drainage easements on the plat are carrying water from the lots to the public road, as such these drainage easements should be private easements maintained by the HOA.
