Division: Planning
From: Jeff Powell (jeff @roudabush.com)
Date: October 23, 2015
Subject: SUB 201500158 Hill Brook— Final Subdivision Plat
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.]
Conditions of Preliminary Plat Approval(from approval letter dated 12/22/14):
1. [14-302(A)3] Existing or platted streets. Clarify the existing public right-of-way line and the 30' prescriptive
easement line. The right-of-way line looks much like other lines on the plan, so it is difficult to tell which
lines depict r/w. Is the prescriptive easement only along the subject parcel? Why is it shown over the
existing public right-of-way?
Final: Comment addressed.
2. [14-302(A)4&5] Private &public easements. Verify that the location and dimensions of all existing and
proposed private and public easements are shown. Existing easements should be labeled with the
appropriate DB and PG reference. Proposed easements should be labeled with the intended holder. The
plan proposes both sewer and storm on private lots; these utilities will require easements. Additionally, if
sidewalk is not located within the proposed public right-of-way, a sidewalk easement will be required with
the appropriate maintenance agreement.
Final: Comment addressed.
3. [14-302(A)4&5] Private &public easements. Will an easement be necessary for the off-site sewer
connection? If so, show it on the plat and add impacted property owner(s)as signees.
Final: Comment addressed.
4. [14-302(A)8] Proposed lots. Clarify the total acreage of the proposed lots on the cover sheet. The sum of
all lots is 1.68 acres not 1.70; using 1.70 (the sum of rounded lot acreages)gives a total development area
of 2.56 acres.
Final: Comment addressed.
5. [14-302(A)8] Proposed lots. Indicate on the cover sheet that cluster development standards are being used.
Final: Comment addressed.
6. [14-302(A)8] Proposed lots. Provide a frontage dimension for all proposed lots.
Final: Comment addressed.
7. [14-302(A)10] Right of further division of proposed lots. Please remove the development rights note (note
#2)as development rights are not applicable on R-2 zoned land.
Final: Comment addressed.

8. [14-302(A)1I] Instrument creating property proposed for subdivision. The legal reference provided should
be a Will Book reference, not a Deed Book reference.
Final: Comment addressed.
9. [14-302(A)12] Topography. Label the existing topography.
Final: Comment addressed.
10. [14-302(B)5] Zoning classification. Add Airport Impact Area (AIA)to the Zoning note.
Final: Comment not addressed. Add AIA and Managed Steep Slopes to the Zoning note.
11. [18-4.6.1] Frontage and lot width measurements. The required frontage may be reduced on a cul-de-sac
provided driveway separation meets VDOT standards. However, minimum lot width must be maintained
between the front and rear yards; the front setback may need to be moved back to where minimum lot width
is achieved.
Final: Comment addressed. However, new setback standards are now available in R-2. This
subdivision is vested should you choose to use the old requirements. If you choose to use the new
requirements,the front setback may not be closer to the right-of-way than where the minimum lot
width is achieved.
12. [18-14.4.1] Environmental standards. To qualify for the bonus factor for maintenance of existing wooded
areas you must show that the area maintained meets the definition of`wooded area' in Section 3.
Final: Comment addressed.
13. [18-14.4.1] Environmental standards. To qualify for this bonus, a conservation plan as specified in section
32.7.9 is required.
Final: Comment addressed.
14. [14-317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. A maintenance agreement will be
required for the proposed sidewalks(if they remain outside of the proposed public right-of-way)and the
open space parcel.
Final: Comment not addressed. Submit a maintenance agreement that covers the maintenance of
the private street,sidewalks,street trees,open space and preserved tree area for review and
approval by the County Attorney's Office.
15. [14-422] Sidewalks and planting strips. Label and dimension the sidewalks and planting strips. Planting
strips must be 6'wide.
Final: Comment addressed.
Final Plat Comments;

located at survey property corners, and shown on each sheet depicting the property.*Control points
added*

be approved prior to Final Plat approval. All Road Plan and WPO related improvements must be built or
bonded prior to approval of this plat. *Not A Platting Issue* Planners will have to address.

Jess,
I just read through the agreement and I will forward it to the County Attorney's Office if you want me to, but I thought I
should mention that you will also need to submit C&R that address maintenance of the open space and tree
preservation area(s). Do you want me to wait and submit both at the same time? It seems like things go a little more
smoothly when all of the relevant documents go to the them simultaneously. Let me know!
