Plat (SUB201400184)
(A plat is a record of property division or reservation. Code Chapter 14)
1. Alternate Lot B 1 -B2 boundary would preserve ability to construct on preferred building sites while dividing
acreage and limiting stream crossings to two, maximum. The proposed boundary between Lots B 1 and B2
is problematic in that there is a portion of Lot B2 that would be inaccessible without a third (future) stream
crossing. A third stream crossing is not required if lot boundaries are revised. A third stream crossing will
not be approved. Revise Lot B1 -B2 boundary.
2. Note - Stream crossings: 17- 604.C.7 and - 604.D. are relevant. Ref item #1, above: Engineering recognizes
that, with reconfigured lot boundaries, two crossings allow all portions of lots to be developed as permitted
in the underlying zoning district and under the applicable regulations of the Subdivision Ordinance. ACCD
Engineering is amendable to request to establish a second stream crossing. This concept was discussed with
Brian Ray on 23- Dec -12.
3. Propose stream buffer Mitigation Plan for stream buffer impacts associated with proposed (private) street.
4. Total land disturbance associated with proposed (or revised) private street location must be calculated for
comparison with VSMP permit Application threshold (10,000 SF). Calculate area of land disturbance.
5. If proposal to construct street is estimated to disturb >10,000 SF, the street must be built or bonded, and
VSMP permit approval is prerequisite to plat approval, or land disturbing activity [14 -417]. Please ref:
SWPPP, VESCP, SWMP, PPP, stream buffer Mitigation Plan and eligibility/exemption requirements at:
17 -300, -301, -302, 303; -401, -402, -403, -404, 405, 406]. SWPPP — abbreviated County template:

Application, if necessary.
6. Note: Proposed roadway width ( =10' /gravel surface) meets roadway standards for residential private streets
serving two lots. Applicant should be aware that different standards, including vertical centerline curvature,
horizontal curvature, shoulder width, turnarounds, etc, listed at 14- 412.A.2(a) apply to streets serving three
to five lots. Roadway (width 10' /gravel surface) does not meet the three to five lot private street standard.
Please call if any questions, or to schedule a plan (plat) review meeting.
Thank you.
