Perez, Senior Planner Division: Planning Date: May 28, 2015 Subject: SUB201500039 — The Lofts at Meadowcreek — BLA/ Easement Plat Fax 434 - 972 -4126 The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the Subdivision 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- 302(A)4] Easements. On the plat label all proposed easements as either "private" or "hereby dedicated to public use ". The stormwater management easement shall be a private easement. Please label it as such. Rev 1. Comment addressed on the plat. To respond to Mr. Jensen's 5 -18 -15 email question about what `private' means in this case: the County does not desire to be the holder of the stormwater management easement; rather, if the applicant chooses to plat an easement (which you have this option) for the stormwater facility then the easement shall be a private easement held by the property owner or the HOA. The County is given access to the facility via the "Stormwater Management Facilities Maintenance Agreement ", which is to be handled during the WPO in consultation with Ana Kilmer. To respond to the statement: "Please note that the County's required maintenance agreement requires the establishment of the easement'; which was part of the May 18th email from Mr. Jensen. I believe you are referring to page 2, section 5, which states: "...easement for the stormwater management/BMP facilities': The agreement is a general document which can cover stormwater management easements if they are provided; however, they are not required for the situation we're dealing with here at the Lofts. I've discussed this item with the County Engineer and an easement for the Stormwater Facility is not a requirement for this project; however, if you choose to plat one, that is fine too. 2. [14 -426, 428] Dedication of land for public use. On the plat the right of way dedication shall be labeled as "Hereby Dedicated to Public Use ". On sheet 2, assure it is relabeled as "Parcel `A' right of way dedication hereby dedicated to public use ". Rev 1. Comment addressed. 3. [14- 302(A)9] Building sites on proposed lots. Please add a note on Sheet 1 that states "Each lot contains a building site that complies with Section 4.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. " Rev 1. Comment addressed. 4. [14- 302(B)5] Zoning. The zoning of the property is correctly labeled as NMD. Also, under the zoning of the property provide a note that proffers are associated with ZMA2013 -1. Rev 1. Comment addressed. 5. [14- 303(A)] Statement of consent to division. The County's standard consent statement was revised effective January 1, 2014 to be in compliance with state code. Please revise the statement to read: "The platting or dedication of the following described land [insert correct description of the land subdivided] is with free consent and in accordance with the desire of the undersigned owners, proprietors and trustees, if any. " Revise. Rev 1. Comment addressed. If the applicant would like to continue utilizing the previous ordinance language: "Any reference to future potential development is to be deemed as theoretical.

Once his review is complete staff will provide you his comments for revisions or his approval. Rev 1. County Attorney review of the document was provided to the applicant on 4- 15 -15.
