RE: SUB 201500067 Briarwood (Phase 4 (L34 -35) Phase 5 (1,26) Phase 6 L27 -33) — preliminary
subdivision
Mr. Collins:
The Agent for the Board of Supervisors hereby grants administrative approval to the above referenced
subdivision plat.
This approval shall be valid for a period of five (5) years from the date of this letter, provided that the
developer submits a final subdivision plat for all or a portion of the site within one (1) year after the date
of this letter as provided in 14 -226 of the Subdivision Ordinance of the County Code, and thereafter
diligently_ pursues approval of the final_ subdivision plat. _
The following are prerequisite to an Engineering recommendation for final subdivision plat approval:
1. Approval of an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan meeting the requirements of Chapter 17 of the
Code of the County of Albemarle. [17 -402]
2. Approval of a. Stormwater Management Plan meeting the requirements of Chapter 17 of the
Code. [17 -403]
3. Approval of a Pollution Prevention Plan meeting the requirements of Chapter 17 of the Code.
[17 -404]
4. Approval of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan meeting the requirements of Chapter 17 of
the Code. [17 -405]
5. Approval of all easements for facilities for stormwater management and drainage control.
6 Approval of a mitigation plan for the disturbance of Water Protection Ordinance buffers, if
necessary. [17 -406]
These approvals may have been obtained (provide WPO number). See items required for
Engineering Division Approval, p..4.
The final subdivision plat will not be considered to have been officially submitted until the following
items are received:
1. A final subdivision plat that satisfies all of the requirements of 14 -226 of the Subdivision
Ordinance.
2. A fee of $1,100. —
Please submit eight (8) copies of the subdivision plat to the Community Development Department. The
assigned Lead Reviewer will then distribute the plans to all reviewing agencies. Once you receive the
first set of comments on the final subdivision plat; please work with each reviewer individually to
satisfy their requirements.
The final subdivision plat will not be approved until the following conditions are met:
The Department of Community Development shall not accept submittal of the final subdivision plat for
signature until tentative approvals for the following conditions have been obtained:
Planning Division Approval of (3 copies):
1. A plat meeting all the requirements for final subdivision plats per the subdivision ordinance.
2. [Comment] Was the existing right of way, Sunset Drive, truly approved and dedicated to public
use between lot 43 and Lot 37? The last plat that was approved on this roadway only dedicated
the right of way up to Lot 43, where it ended with a temporary turn around. Thus this would make
the right of way beyond Lot 43 proposed rather than existing. If this is the case, assure it is
revised appropriately.
Also, a road plan for this section of road will need to be submitted, reviewed, approved, and built
or bonded prior to final subdivision plat approval, if such has not already been completed for this
section of road.
Also, on the final plat the temporary turn around shall be abandoned.
[Application plan, Proffer 41 On the plat it is not clear what is taking place with the remainder
of the land in Phase 5, specifically the area beyond the 0.37 acres of open space depicted?
Dedication of the Phase 5 open space is required with this plat. When the final is submitted assure
you track the amount of open space which is within the 100 year floodplain and the amount of
land which is critical or preserved slopes to assure that the site is still within the required open
space pursuant to Chapter 18 Section 4.7(c)3.
4. [Application plan, Proffer 4] The application plan lists the Phase 5 open space area mentioned
above as "Passive Recreational Area consisting of walking /jogging trails ". On the plat assure it
is also labeled as such.
5. [Proffer #4] "... the dedication of open space with the approval of phase 4 and 5 for passive
recreational area which shall include the construction of walking /jogging trails...
Prior to final plat approval provide an exhibit which depicts the location of the walking /jogging
trails in Phase 5 open space (which are to be constructed as primitive paths). This exhibit will be
used to bond the improvements through a Zoning performance bond prior to final plat approval.
Also, the application plan appears to depict access to the recreational areas mentioned above
being in the location of Lot 31. If Lot 31 is to remain as a lot for sale, it is not clear where the
access to the open space areas is coming from. Please provide access to the open space areas from
the public road as required by the application plan.
[14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. Documents relevant to
dedication and /or maintenance of open space must be provided for review to the County Attorney
in order for final subdivision plat approval. Please submit a draft of this document to me and I
will review it and forward it to the County Attorney for his review/ approval.
7. [Application plan, note #51 "The developer shall provide one interparcel connection to the
Camelot subdivision. The said connection shall beprovided at Point A or B as shown and will be
determined with final engineering design. The connection shall be approved and bonded prior to
2
the issuance of any building permits for homes in phase 4. "
This plat proposes to divide /plat 2 lots in Phase 4 (Lots 34 & 35), as such the connection at either
point A or B shall be approved and bonded prior to the issuance of any building permit for homes
in Phase 4. Currently neither of the connections has been applied for, approved or bonded. If the
developer chooses to move forward with the division of the lots in Phase 4, a note shall be
provided on the final plat that provides notice that the issuance of the building permits for these
lots shall be withheld till one of the two connection (A or B) is approved and bonded.
8. [Proffer 11 The maximum dwelling units permitted in Briarwood is 661. Proffer 9 provides a
table for the proposed lot mix. A table providing the existing and proposed dwelling units by
section must be provided on the final plat and updated with each submittal.
9. [14- 302(B)8] Yards. The setbacks for the project are front= 20', side= 6', rear 5', and building
separation= 12'. On sheet 1 under setbacks assure the "12' building separation" is noted. Also
provide a note which states "No minimum lot area is specified". Revise appropriately.
10. [14- 302(A)4 &5] Easements. On the plat provide deed book and page references for all existing
easements.
11. [14- 302(A)8] Proposed lots. On the plat provide the dimensions for each lot.
12. [14- 302(B)5] Zoning. There is a typographical error under general notes, Zoning, the plat reads
"AMA 2004 - 00014; however, it should truly be ZMA2004- 00014. Revise appropriately.
13. [14 -400; 18 -19.6, Proffer #1 & 91 On the plat the Open space Tabulations Chart appears to have
an error in it, specifically it seems to be missing 5 lots which were platted in Phase 5 on 0.653
acres of land which was applied for under SUB2013 -112 and approved by the County on
September 20, 2013. Notably there was no open space provided on that plat. Regardless, the chart
should be revised to account for this_ acreage_and lot counts._ Revise appropriately.
14. [14- 400;18 -19.6, Proffer #1 & 9] Also, the above mentioned chart appears to have another error
in it with regard to the current plat under review, specifically the last line which lists "PH 5, PH
6" total area platted 2.58 acres, with a total of 20 lots. Rather it appears this section should take
into account the 2 lots being platted in Phase 4 on this plat. Also, assure that the total lot counts
for this plat is accurate, currently this same section of the chart lists 20; however, it is truly 16.
Revise appropriately.
15. [Comment] Under general notes, Phasing, all lots listed appear to be in error.
For example: the plat currently lists "Phase 4 — Lots 7 -8 (2 lots total) "; however, it appears to
truly be "Phase 4 plats Lots 34 and 35 (2 lots total). "
16. [14 -303F] Identification of sections, blocks, and lots. On the final plat provide a current phasing
plan; it is important to identify overall street layout and how the plan fits into the existing street
network. Please label applicable phases.
Please contact Christopher P. Perez at 296-5 83 2 if you have questions or require additional
information.
Engineering Division Approval of (1 copy of site plan; WPO plan number stated in application):
1. Add existing public street RW deed of dedication information to plat.
2. Add DB -PG RW, drainage, ACSA, and any other existing easement information to plat.
3. A single -sheet preliminary plat is unusual. Provide guidance on whether or where approved road
plan or WPO details for proposed plat may be found. Furnish approved road plan number (SUB)
and /or WPO project number that may apply to this section of Briarwood (and may aid review).
4. Plat title is inconsistent with phasing general notes: Phase 4 (2 lots), Phase 5/6 (7 lots ea). Title
and phase notes list different lot numbers. Revise.
5. Lots 26, 27, 28, and 29 structure FFEBSMT elevations differ by 20 -ft: Confirm that this is
accurate design information.
6. Phase lines appear missing. Provide dashed: lines to demarcate all phases. Lot 26, for example,
appears as though it may be in phase 6, yet this lot is listed with phase 5 lots.
7. Revise 2:1 grading in lawn areas. "For grass stabilization on constructed. slopes, the maximum
steepness is 3:1". -ACDSM 8.A.2. Revise proposed contours for lawn areas, Lots 26, 27, 28, 29,
or elsewhere, to 3:1, or flatter. Final plat contours should reflect Approved Site Plan, image
below (SDP2006- 00041, The Engineering Groupe, sheet 18/53, 1/12/10). Current proposed plat
contours reflect interim conditions: a steep slope to ESC measure that is a temporary condition.
Image /SDP2006 -00041
8. Final plat approval requires approved road plan, approved VSMP /WPO.
9. Reserve right to revise or add comments when more information is available..
Please contact John Anderson at 296 -5832 if you have questions or require additional information.
ACSA approval to include (1 cony to County, 3 copies to ACSA):
1. Please submit 3 sets of utility plans to Jeremy Lynn at the ACSA for review. This is required to
determine which water meters must be relocated so that they are properly placed along the frontage of
the new lots. In addition, the applicant should be aware that these lots fall within the North Fork
Special Rate District North Zone for sanitary sewer service. These comments can be a condition of
the final. It would be to the applicants advantage to submit the drawings ASAP, but I will recommend
approval of the preliminary with conditions.
