The Planner for the Planning Services Division of the Albemarle County Department Community
Development will recommend approve the plan referred to above when the following items
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 to the Albemarle
County Code.]

Additional comments may be given during final plan review due to lack of detail on the
initial site plan. For example, it is hard to determine if there is 18' from the back of
sidewalk to the garage for parking on each unit at this scale.
