shall include a deed book and page number.
2. State that the improvement will be maintained in perpetuity.

times be maintained so that it is safe and convenient for passenger automobiles and emergency
vehicles at all times except in severe temporary weather conditions."
4. If the instrument pertains to the maintenance of one or more private streets,alleys or shared
driveways, it shall define"maintenance"by stating verbatim: "For purposes of this instrument,
`maintenance' includes the maintenance of the private streets or alleys, and all curbs, curbs and
gutters, drainage facilities,utilities, dams, bridges and other private street improvements,and the
prompt removal of snow,water, debris, or any other obstruction so as to keep the private street or

or both.
8. Describe how maintenance costs will be prorated among the landowners subject to the instrument
(e.g., "equally,"or on a percentage basis); if any lot within the subdivision may be further
divided,the instrument shall also describe how maintenance costs will be prorated among the
landowners after division.
9. State verbatim: "No public agency, including the Virginia Department of Transportation and the
County of Albemarle,Virginia,will be responsible for maintaining any improvement identified

See attached- Hopefully I have made the necessary changes. I also changed "Street" to "Driveway"
throughout the document to more clearly define the use. Let me know if there are other changes that I
need to make.
Thanks

Hi Lindsey,
Thank you for providing the draft of the Private Street Maintenance Agreement.
Before our office sends the draft to the County Attorney's office for final review/approval,there are just
two minor edits needed:
1. Please modify recital #4 to indicate the access easement will be "new." It currently states that it
will be "new or existing." (Checklist Item#5)
2. Please specify the minimum standard under recital#6 (Checklist Item#5).The attached
template mentions"gravel" as an example, but you can insert whatever description is
applicable.

With these edits, we can forward it to the County Attorney's office.
