The County of Albemarle Planning Division will recommend approval of 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 letter dated 11/16/12):
1. [14-302(A)4&5] Private and Public easements. Any necessary easements must be documented and
approved during the road plan or WPO application process.
Final: Comment not fully addressed. Show all existing easements, including RWSA, SWM and
Mitigation area as shown on previous plats. Provide required landscape easements as shown on the
road plan.
2. [14-302(A)7] Existing and departing lot lines. All existing property lines must be accurately shown and
labeled.
Final: Comment addressed.
3. [14-302(A)8 & 13.4.1 (SO)] Proposed lots. Due to the application of the street tree bonus factor, all lots are
to be a minimum of 20,OOOsf with a minimum lot frontage of 80'. Street trees must also be provided on all
roads as indicated on the preliminary plat.
Final: Comment addressed. Street trees are shown on the road plans SUB201400067.
4. [14-302(A)9] Building sites on proposed lots. The Board of Supervisors approved a critical slope waiver
request for this subdivision. An overlot grading plan must be submitted as a condition of approval of this
waiver.
Final: Comment addressed. The overlot grading plan was submitted with SUB201400067.
5. [14-302(B)3] Public areas, facilities or uses. Coordinate with the Department of Parks and Recreation to
establish the exact location of the greenway area and any other facilities as noted in the Comprehensive
Plan. Please refer to comments provided by Parks during preliminary plat review.
Final: Comment not fully addressed. The greenway easement plat is currently under review. Label
the greenway easement as a public easement. Once recorded, the Deed Book and Page Number
should be added to the plat.
6. [14-302(B)8 & 4.6.1(c)] Yards. This subdivision includes many non-standard setback/yard lines to
establish the setback or yard where the minimum lot width is achieved; therefore, all setback/yard lines must
be shown on the final plat.
Final: Comment not addressed. Show all setback/yard lines on the plat. Since the preliminary plat
was approved prior to the new setback regulations, either set of requirements may be used. In any
case, make sure all setback/yard lines shown establish the depth of front and rear yards where the
minimum lot width is achievable.
Final Plat Comments:
7. [Comment] The acreages, percentages and other information on the plat is presented as if the greenway
easement will be its own parcel. The plat under review for the greenway presents the area as an easement,
not as a separate parcel. Revise all associated information to indicate the greenway is an easement and
include the acreage in all labels, notes and calculations.
8. [Comment] Since this is the second phase of a multi -phase subdivision, please provide a table that lists
the number of lots, density, amount of open space, percentages, etc. for each phase of the project as well
as cumulatively overall. This will assist in reviewing the remaining phases as the project moves forward.
9. [2.2.3] Minimum open space required. A minimum of 25% open space is required for cluster development,
and must be provided in each phase. Please also track this in the table requested above.
10. [2.2.3] Minimum open space required. Open space A is mislabeled as Open Space B; revise accordingly.
11. [14-302(A)11] Instrument creating property proposed for subdivision. Provide the most recent instrument.
12. [14-302(B)10] Stream buffers. Show all stream buffers.
13. [14-317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. An instrument for the maintenance
of privately owned improvements (street trees, common areas, etc) must be submitted for review and
approval by the County Attorney's office. This document must be recorded with the plat.
14. [Comment] This plat cannot be approved until the road plans and WPO application are approved. All
bonds must also be posted prior to County signature.
15. [Comment] This plat cannot be approved until ACSA, RWSA, Fire Rescue, Engineering and VDOT
complete their reviews and grant their approval. Inspections and E911 have reviewed the plat and have no
objections.
