REV. 1: August 1, 2017
Subject: SUB-2017-71 Stanley J. Thomas - Boundary Line Adjustment
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.]
1. [Comment] Attached find the Boundary Line Adjustment checklist. The
comments listed below are items either not included in the plat or that need
revisions to what has been provided.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
2. [14-302(A)(1)] Name of Subdivision. Rename the subdivision plat so that it
includes unique identifiers such as including in the name the specific tax map
parcel numbers impacted by the plat.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
3. [14-302(A)(2)] Vicinity map. Include a vicinity map in the place as specified (see
attached checklist).
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
4. [14-302(A)(3)] Existing or platted streets. It appears from the proposed plat that a
portion of State Route 640 is partially a prescriptive easement and partially a
right-of-way. However, the labels only specify a prescriptive easement. County
GIS appears to show prescriptive easements across all road frontages. Clarify
the status of the road along the frontage of all lots and revise the notes and/or
the road right-of-way lines and prescriptive easement lines to fully represent the
road as appropriate. Show Grove Hill Lane on the plat and label it as specified in
(See 14-303(E) below).
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
5. [14-302(A)(4)] Private Easements. There appears from the County's GIS to be a
private road that cross TMP 66-73A into TMP 66-75 and TMP 66-74. A road,
possibly where Grove Hill Lane is shown on the GIS, also appears to be shown
on the plat included in Deed Book 439 Page 321. This should be shown on the
plat if it currently serves TMP 66-75 as its access to the public road and/or
crosses through the portion of TMP 66-75 that is being added to TMP 66-73A. If
it is shown then all required information on the road and any easement for the
road, including road name, owner and deed book and page number of the
easement plat, should be provided (See 14-303(E) below).
REV. 1: Comment addressed.
6. [14-302(A)(5) & 14-303(L)] Public Easements; Public utility, drainage and sight
distance easements. Revise the plat to show any existing public easements.
The plat included in Deed Book 439 plPage 321 shows an existing underground
telephone cable (Deed Book 356 Page 154) that may reside on the portion of the
parcel that is being given to TMP 66-76 and therefore should be shown on the
BLA plat.
REV. 1: Comment, Addressed.
7. [14-302(A)(6)] Alleys and shared driveways. Revise the plat to show any
driveway that crosses a subject properties to reach a different property. If it is a
shared driveway that too should be specified (See 14-303(E) below).
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
8. [14-302(A)(7)] Existing and departing lot lines. Address the following:
• The existing property lines shown on the proposed plat, and those shown
on the recorded plat recorded in Deed Book 439 Page 323, do not match
those shown on the County's online GIS or County Tax Maps. Please
confirm that the County's GIS is incorrect and that the most resent plat for
the property is Deed Book 439 Page 323.
• In the recorded plat at Deed Book 4548 Page 270 the existing
southwestern property line for TMP 66-75 appears to come from the back
of TMP 66-76 and not from the road. Please confirm that this is not
correct since it does not agree with the proposed plat.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
9. [14-302(A)(9)] Building sites on proposed lots. Address the following:
• Add a building site note to the plat that states "Parcels [letter or numbers]
each contain a building site that complies with section 4.2.1 of the
Albemarle County Zoning Ordinance." Include each of the parcels
impacted by this plat in that note.
• Add a building site rectangle to the plat for TMP 66-75 since the parcel is
reducing in size. As specified in the Code that building site rectangle
should be 30,000 square feet in size and meet the minimum requirements
specified in 4.2.1(A) & 4.2.2(A)(1) of the Albemarle County Zoning
Ordinance.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
10. [14-302(A)(10)] Right of further division of proposed lots. Provide a note that
specifies the current and proposed right of further division for each of the parcels
that is modified in this plat. If no development rights for a specific parcel are
transferred with the transfer of land the existing development rights and a
statement that not development rights are transferred still need to be specified in
a note.
REV. 1: Comment not fully addressed. The development rights specified in
the notes are not correct. It appears that TMP 66-75 was last subdivided or
changed prior to 1980. If this is correct then the same number of
development rights as were assigned in 1980 are still assigned to the
parcel, as specified in "A Citizen's How To Manual" on development rights
that I sent with the last round of comments. If it is correct that boundary
lines of TMP 66-75 have not changed since 1980 then revise the two
development rights notes to state the following:
• Tax Map Parcel 66-75 contains four development rights and may be
further divided.
• The development rights for Tax Map Parcels 66-73A 66-74 & 66-76
are not being changed or modified by this plat.
Please note for future reference: A parcel having development rights does
not guarantee that it can be subdivided in the future The proposed
parcel(s) must also meet all other ordinances and code requirements.

11. [14-302(A)(15)] Identification of all owners and certain interest holders. Provide
the name and addresses for each owner of the parcels as well as he holders of
any easements affecting the property.
REV. 1: Comment not fully addressed. In the "Notes" area there appears to
be redundant information provided for TMP 66-73A. Please remove the
redundant information.
12. [14-302(B)(1)] General information. Provide on the plat the date of the plat, any
revision dates for the plat and, if applicable, the number of sheets that are part of
the plat.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
13. [14-302(B)(5)] Zoning classification. Provide a note on the plat that states the
zoning classification of each of the properties.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
14. [14-302(B)(7)] Reservoir watershed; agricultural -forestal district. Provide on the
plat a note stating which watershed the property is in and whether it is within the
"watershed supply protection area".
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
15. [14-302(B)(10)] Stream buffers. Provide on the plat a note that states "The
stream buffer(s) shown heron shall be managed in accordance with the
Albemarle County Water Protection Ordinance."
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
16. [14-303(A)] Statement of consent to division. Provide on the plat, for each parcel
impacted by the plat, a statement of consent to division for each owner of the
specific parcel and with a place for the owner's signature below the statement.
The note should read "The platting or dedication of the following described land
[insert a correct description of the land subdivided] is with the free consent and in
accordance with the desire of the undersigned owners, proprietors and trustees,
if any." For each parcel the note must be unique including the description of that
parcel in the area specified for the description to be inserted.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.

17. [14-303(C) & 14-303(H)j Boundary lines; Monuments. Clarify if the boundary line
between TMP 66-75 and TMP 66-74 is a "proposed" parcel line or an existing
one and adjust the plat to represent it accordingly. Address the following:
It is shown with the same linetype as the "proposed" parcel lines and
there is an "Old parcel line" labeled next to it.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
No "Parcel X" label has been included to identify the area.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
• No calculation is shown for how much property would be transferred
between the two parcels with the proposed boundary change.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
• It appears to have "Pipe Found" along its edge that would seem to mean
it is an existing boundary line.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
• [REVA: NEW COMMENTI There is conflicting information on the
proposed acreage for TMP 66-75. The information that is shown
within the parcel boundary, showing all of the additions,
subtractions and the outcome, appears to be correct. However, on
the right side of the page, the paragraph that starts with "Parcel `B'
0.0962 AC" has a different acreage shown for TMP 66-75 that
appears to be wrong. Also, no information is shown on the acreage
of TMP 66-74 after `D' is added to it. Address the following:
o Since the information on the acreage of TMP 66-75 is already
shown within the area of its parcel boundaries it is not also
needed on the far right of the plat where information on "A"
and "C" are provided.
o Add information for "Parcel `D' 0.2827 AC" to the right side of
the plat. This entry should also specify the acreage of
TMP66-74 after consolidation.
18. [14-303(C) & 14-303(H)j Boundary lines; Monuments. Clarify if the boundary line
between TMP 66-75, TMP 66-76 and TMP 66-78 is changing. Address the
following:
• As mentioned above, the existing property lines shown on the proposed
plat, and those shown on the recorded plat recorded in Deed Book 439
Page 323, do not match those shown on the County's online GIS or
County Tax Maps. Please confirm that the County's GIS is incorrect and
that the property lines represented in this plat are the most current.
• The 192.91' long property line to the adjoining church property (TMP 66-
78) is shown as a "Proposed" parcel line style but the source plat
specified shows it as existing.
• There are two new "Rod set" labels along the property line when for an
existing lot line two "rod found" labels would be expected.
o If any property is being added to TMP 66-76 from TMP 66-78 then TMP
66-78 and its owners should be added to the calculations, owner
information, consent to division, etc. for the plat.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
19. [14-303(D)] Acreage of lots. Revise the plat to address the following:
+ Show the existing acreage of TMP 66-75.
+ Show the calculations for the changes in acreage for TMP 66-75.
�- There is a label that shows "2.7685 Acres" that is shown within TMP 66-
75. Either remove this label or clarify what it is for.
+ If there is property being moved from TMP 66-75 and TMP 66-74 show
the size of the area being transferred, the proposed size of TMP 66-74
and include this area as being subtracted in the calculations for TMP 66-
75.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
20. [14-303(E)] Dimension standards and information on all lots, streets, alleys
easements, and shared driveways. Revise the plat to include all required
dimensions and information. See the attached Boundary Line Adjustment Plat
Checklist for all of the required information but it includes:
• Easement shown for private streets, alleys and shared driveways shall be
labeled as "private street easement", "alley easement" or "shared
driveway easement".
+ The easement holder(s) shall be identified on the plat.
If there are any existing easement along any private streets, alleys or
shared driveways provide the required information for those easements
as specified in 14-302(A)(4).
REV. 1: Comment addressed.
21. [14-303(F)] Identification of sections, blocks and lots. Provide a label for
the portion of TMP 66-75 that is being given to TMP 66-74.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
22. [14-303(0)] Signature Panels. Provide on the plat signature panels for
each owner of parcels impacted by this plat and for the County agent.
REV. 1: Comment not vet fully addressed. The plat was updated to include
a signature panel for each of the owners. However, the signature panel for
the County agent's signature has not vet been added. Attached to this
comment letter please find an example of what the signature panel for the
County agent looks like. Add a signature panel for the agent to the plat
23. [14-303(P)] Notary panels. Provide notary panels for the notary to acknowledge
the signature for each of the owners.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed. However, please be aware that additional
notary seal areas may be required if the different owners for the same lot
are not signing the plat in the same day at the same time.
24. [14-312] Location of existing buildings. Provide the location of any existing
building within 50' or any proposed boundary line.
REV. 1: Comment Addressed.
