Perez, Senior Planner Division: Planning Date: February 16, 2017 Subject: SUB201600003 Right-of-way Vacation and BLA Fax 434-972-4126 The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the Boundary Line Adjustment & Right-of-way Vacation 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.] [Recommendation] As proposed TMP 61K-10-A (Mr. Gillispie) is losing access to Inglewood Drive. Once approved the property owners of TMP 61K-5-D4 (Ms. Koehn) and TMP 61K-5-C-13 (Ms. Stell) are not required by the County to provide access to TMP 61K-10-A (Mr. Gillispie). As previously discussed, I suggest that this plat be revised to add the vacated land directly to TMP 61K-10- A (Mr. Gillispie) through the BLA assuring both Ms. Koehn and Ms. Stell are signators on the plat and the deed of vacation. If you choose this route, you need to provide Ms. Koehn an access easement across the land being added to your property to provide her access to her driveway till the private street or public street serving the proposed townhouse development is platted. Additionally please depict Ms. Koehn's existing driveway on the plat or provide an exhibit to this affect. Rev 2. Applicant did not choose to go this route. Or the plat could be revised to grant/plat an access easement over the vacated right-of-way that's being added to Ms. Koehn & Ms. Stell's land for purposes to serve a future private road/public road which is anticipated to provide access to TMP 61K-10-A (Mr. Gillispie). If you choose this route, when you go to subdivide the townhome lots both Ms. Koehn & Ms. Stell will need to be party to and sign the final plat as this is the plat that will modify the platted access easement to a private street (easement). Rev 2. Applicant choose this option. 2. [14-212.2] It was previously discussed that in order to vacate the right-of-way that you'd need to submit both a deed of vacation & a vacation plat. Please submit the deed of vacation for review/distribution/approval by the County Attorney prior to plat approval. Rev 2. Applicant submitted legal documents for County Attorney review. Pending review and approval by the County Attorney prior to plat approval. Additional comments or revisions to these comments may be forth coming once County Attorney review is complete. 3. [14-302(A)(11)] Instrument Creating Property Proposed for Subdivision. Provide the deed book and page reference number of the original plat that dedicated the right-of-way and created Lot 4 and Lot 13. It is DB 363 PG 44, see attached plat. Assure this information is provided on each of the lots (4 and 13) and on the section of right-of-way being vacated. Rev 2. Comment partially addressed, as the applicant provided the DB PG information for the right-of-way; however, it is also required on each of the lots (4 and 13), respectively TMP 61K-5-D4 and TMP 61K-5-C-13. This information may be provided on sheet 1 under ownership information or it may be provided on sheet 2 on the lots themselves. Revise. C! 5. [Comment] Label and shade/hatch the portion of right-of-way being vacated. Rev 2. Comment not adequately addressed. Provide a legend w/ labels as to what the shading/hatching actually means. Currently all the hatching appears to depict is a New Ingress Egress Easement. This plat also needs to clearly depict and label the right-of-way vacation that this plat is attempting to accomplish. Revise. 6. [14-302(A)(1)] Revise the title of the plat to `Boundary Line Adjustment and Portion of Inglewood Drive Right -of -Way Vacation ". Rev 2. Comment addressed. 7. [14-302(B)(1)] General information. Provide the date of the last revision. Rev 2. Comment still relevant. 8. [Engineering Comment] Engineering has no objection to the ROW vacation. It is recommended access to Inglewood Drive be maintained and any necessary offsite grading easements needed to facilitate the townhome development be platted with this plat. Rev 2. Applicant did not choose to go this route. 9. [Comment] At the time of this comment letter VDOT has yet to review the plat. VDOT review/approval is required prior to County approval. Comments to be forwarded once received. Rev 2. Comment addressed. VDOT has no objections to the plat. Additional Comment on Revised Plat 10. [14-302(A)(9)] Building sites on proposed lots. Each lot included in the boundary line adjustment plat is required to meet the building site requirement of the ordinance.
