Fax 434-972-4126
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.
General Comments
1. L14-302(A)(3)] Ensure street names/spelling match on all sheets.
Rev1: Comment addressed
2. [14-302(A)(5)] Provide a deed of easement for the public access easements and public drainage
easements for county review and signature.
Rev1: Do the previously recorded deeds also cover this parcel? If so, please confirm and provide DB
& PG.
[14-317] Provide supplemental declaration to the covenants and restrictions for any easements to be
maintained by the HOA for review and approval by the County Attorney.
Rev1: Does the previously recorded HOA agreement also cover this parcel? If so, please confirm and
provide DB & PG.
Rev2. In the chain of title provided I did not see a supplementary declaration to the CCR extending to
this parcel (similar to as done in Ph 2 with db 4956 pg 304-308). If such a document has already been
recorded, provide db & pg. If not, provide a declaration for review.
4. [18-13.4.1] Density information is confusing/redundant. Please simplify. Provide the following:
a. General Development Area density calculation — show once
b. General Rural Area density— show once
c. Density Table: lots and acreage per phase; cumulative units, cumulative acreage, cumulative
density.
d. Open Space Table: Open space acreages, cumulative open space acreage and cumulative
percentage; acreage and percentage of open space within flood plain.
Rev1: Comment partially addressed. The tables at the bottom of the sheet are providing conflicting
and out of date information. Please retain reference to the tree preservation exhibit (note F) but
reference the phase 3 exhibit provided with this plat and provide updated acreages/percentages.
Other information contained in the tables can be deleted.
Rev2: Provide a total (acreage and percentage) of tree preservation area for all three phases on
sheet 2 of the plat
5. Can open space lots be joined with open space in previous phases? If so, combine the following and
revise boundary lines accordingly:
a. Common Open Space 1-III and Common Open Space 1
b. Common Open Space 1F and 1B
c. Common Open Space 1C and 1G
Rev1: Comment addressed.
6. [18-13.4.1] Provide an exhibit demonstrating that all tree preservation areas meet the definition of a
wooded area from Section 3.1 of the zoning ordinance. Please note the following:
a. Show floodplain with the tree preservation areas, as they cannot overlap.
b. From the easement plat, it appears that parts of these tree preservation areas are 5-feet wide.
The shape and area of the tree preservation areas on lots 82, 83, 84, 85 and OS 3 are not
conducive to tree preservation. For lot 84, the preservation area appears to be close to the
potential building site.
c. On lots 75, 76, 77 and 78 — it appears the tree preservation area overlaps with the existing
Virginia Power Easement. This easement likely allows the power company the ability to
remove any vegetation from their easement. Consequently, the tree preservation area cannot
exist in this area. Reevaluate location of tree areas.
Rev1: Comment partially addressed. Are HME VAR easements shown on sheet 5 intended to preserve
other features besides trees? Please clarify. The tree preservation exhibit does not indicate tree
preservation areas on any lots except lot 84.
Also clarify what hatching on sheet 2 is intended to represent. Please label or include legend on this
sheet.
Rev2: I have the following comments:
a. The tabulation on sheet 2 does not match the exhibit
b. The areas shown for preservation on sheet 2 do match the exhibit
c. The tabulation listed on the exhibit for Ph 3 does not match the acreage shown on the
exhibit (1.5 acres shown, 2.11 listed)
d. Ensure lot lines on exhibit match those on the plat
e. HME-VAR easements should cover all areas of tree preservation identified even those
areas in common open space.
f. Please clarify the purpose of the HME-VAR easements shown on sheet 6. They don't
appear to line up with preservation areas shown on other sheets.

since the time of the approval for the preliminary plat for this project. Consult GIS Web to see new
location. Update density calculations accordingly.

Rev1: Comment addressed
New Comment: Provide evidence that all lots have a building site — please show slopes, tree
preservation/HME easements, setbacks, stream buffer all on one sheet to demonstrate buildable area.
This can be done on plat or a separate exhibit.
Rev2: Comment addressed; however, easements shown on sheet 6 do not line up with areas identified
for preservation on this sheet; please clarify and ensure consistency throughout.
Sheet 5 — Miscellaneous Easement Plat
14. Above the label "Common Open Space 1-III," there is a line with the label "TE-X N." This is not
identified in the legend on Page 11. Please clarify.
15. For lots 79 is there not enough room for a standard setback line?
16. For lot 74, it appears the front setback line could be closer to the street.
