Memorandum
To: W. Morris Foster, L.S.
From: Paty Saternye- Senior Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: April 11, 2016
Subject: SUB -2016-56 Murcielago, LLC -Rural Subdivision
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the
Final 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.]
[14-302 (B)(7)] Reservoir watershed, agricultural -forestal district. The
Agricultural and Forestal District (AFD) note is incorrect. These parcels are
within the Carter's Bridge AFD. This note should be updated. However, it is
more important to note that because the parcels are in an AFD district they
cannot be subdivided in this way at this time. See the prohibition of
development to more intensive use (18-3-202.A) when a parcel is part of an
AFD. Also, because the parcels are owned by an LLC a family subdivision,
one of the option listed in the County Code specified above, is not allowed.
Therefore, the owner has two options:
a. Remove the existing parcels from the AFD once they are allowed to do
so. The Carter's Bridge AFD district will be up for review prior to July 9 of
2018. This will give the most flexibility.
b. Change the ownership of the two existing parcels to be an individual
instead of an LLC. Then after waiting for four (4) years subdivide the
parcel as a family subdivision. The proposed parcels would need to be
put in the names of family members of the new owners. The family
division would limit what can be done with the newly subdivided five (5)
acre lots. See section 14-212 for the restrictions applied to family
subdivisions. The lot must be in the non -LLC ownership for at least four
(4) years, and must remain in the family for at least four (4) additional
years after the transfer of land to the family member.
NOTE: Please contact Scott Clark (SCLARK@ALBEMARLE.ORG) at
Albemarle's Community Development department for more details and any
questions on the AFD limitations and processes.
2. [14-302 (A)(4)] Private Easements. Provide the owner and deed book and page
number for the 20' hiking and riding easement.
3. [14-302 (A)(5)] Public easements. Deed book 3661 page 658 lists underground
electric and telephone easements along Route 795. Locate, dimension, provide
the owner(s) and deed book and page number for this easement.
4. [14-302 (A)(10)] Right of further division of proposed lots. Word the development
rights note as if the division has taken place and follow the wording specified in
the checklist. This rural subdivision is using the rights that are available for each
of the two existing parcels. Therefore, after this subdivision none of the four
parcels will have the right to be subdivided in the future.
5. [14-302 (A)(15)] Identification of all owners and certain interest holders. See
comments #2 and #3 above. Include the address of the owner of the parcel as
well as the names and addresses of any holders of any easements affecting the
property. Also include the owner and deed book and page number for each of
the adjoining lots.
6. [14-302 (B)(1)] General Information. Provide the date of the plat on both of
the sheets. The date on the seal does not cover this requirement. Also,
each page should be numbered and state the overall number of sheets (ex.
Sheet 1 of 2).
7. [14.302 (B)(4)] Places of burial. If there are any burial sites show them on the
plat.
8. [14-303 (A)] Statement of consent to division. List parcels 5A, 6-A1, TMP 14-
67G (Parcel 5) and TMP 114-67H (Parcel 6A) in the consent note.
9. [14-303 (C)] Boundary lines. Some of the boundary lines shown on the plat are
not to scale. These need to be drawn accurately. The curvilinear data needs to
include the radius, central angle, arc length, and tangent as specified in the
checklist and the County Code. The "Not Tangent" note was not on the previous
plat (Deed Book 661 Page 658). Please clarify what this note means and
whether the boundary data is not closing properly.
10. [14-303 (E)] Dimension standards and information on all lots, streets, alleys,
easements, and shared driveways. See comments #2, #3 and #9 above.
Dimension and label all lots and easements.
11. [14-303 (L)] Public utility, drainage and sight distance easements. See
comment #3 above.
12. [14-303 (0)] Signature panels. Add a place for a date next to the name of the
owner in the signature panel.
13. [14-303 (P)] Notary panels. Update the notary information under the signature
panel. The standard notary statement has been update in the last few years. If
you need more information on what should be included please contact me and I
can send you an example.
14. [14-308.1] Groundwater Assessment. The groundwater assessment has been
accomplished. Please see attached document.
15. [14-309; 14-3101 Soils evaluation; Health Director Approval. Soils work has been
submitted to the Health Department. Approval of the soil evaluation by the Health

VDOT that there is adequate location for an entrance along the adjacent public
roads for each pr sed lot.
