Meeting Minutes
Meeting: Pre-Application meeting w/ County of Albemarle staff
Date: Monday March, 3, 2014, 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Parties Present: County of Albemarle: David Benish
Megan Yaniglos
Bill Fritz
Terra Engineering: Steve Driver
Abe Evans
Albemarle County Service Authority: Alex Morrison
Meeting Purpose:
Discuss project submittal and plan review process to gather county staff input. Review/discuss
any project specific plan review comment items needed with next plan submission
Presentation:
The last revised preliminary plat (rev. date 01-16-2013) was referenced. Steve gave a brief
history of the project calling specific attention to Proffer 2, clearly labeled "Final Grading Plan".
The plan, which was last submitted, includes the information requirements to meet items A-I
as listed in Proffer 2.
Steve Driver then suggested resubmitting the plan, for review and approval, relabeled as
"Proffer 2 Final Grading Plan"to be reviewed specifically for Proffer 2 requirements as listed in
items A-I. Thus the "Final Grading Plan" meeting Proffer 2 requirements could be approved
and then resubmit the Preliminary Plat for review and approval.
Discussion:
Megan stated: The County does not have a process for submitting a "Final Grading Plan" by
itself. The county process includes the grading plan as part of the WPO. Will need to defer to
Glenn Brooks.
David briefly reviewed the proffer to see if there was any wording to allow for the interpretation
of Glenn Brooks.
Megan agreed that the proffer was vague and could have been worded more clearly.
Steve pointed out that Proffer 2 was brought about because the developer sold lots in previous
phases to separate builders. After which the builders graded the lots out onto adjacent lots
and created multiple issues (runoff, legal, etc.) The county approached the developer, the
developer stated he did not create the problem it was the builders. Ultimately the developer

was held responsible. Proffer 2 was brought about specifically to prevent this.
David noted that for what its worth, the county staff report refers to the "Final Grading Plan" as
an "Over Lot Grading Plan" David also stated that Steve has made a valid point but neither he
or Megan can make the final decision. The final decision would be left up to the Zoning
Administrator.
Megan then asked: Now that the developer has met other proffer requirements and the
preliminary plat can be submitted for approval, can the " final Grading Plan" be included with
the Preliminary Plat to meet the conditions specifically in Proffer 2.„This is more of a
what-if statement; decision will need to be made by Zo d i� n
istrat ed County Engineer
if the process is acceptable. ii Steve stated this is the process we have had in mind.Megan pointed out the County has a new subdivision ordina and s4 , slope code with
specific requirements which we will need to meet. A copy of the new subdivision plat
application was provided by Megan. k
d
Question was asked: What are the new critical slope requirements? Bill Fritz was brought in to
better explain the new requirements. The code in provided in Section 30 Overlay Districts of
the County Zoning Ordinance. Bill provided a brief summary of the requirements and stated
we should not have any problems meeting said requirements.
Steve asked if the proffers supersede the new steep slope requi ments.
Bill responded No, because there were not any proff ° -elk s r
teep sloes.
