From: Paty Saternye- Senior Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: December 18, 2017
Subject: SUB-2017-180 Hollymead Town Center Block C6 — Easement
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. [14-302 (A)(3)] Existing or platted streets. Berkmar Drive is shown as a
"Variable width RNV" on the plat but an 80' RNV on SDP2017-29. Either revise
the label or provide information to the plan reviewer that documents why this has
changed.
2. [14-302 (A)(3), (4) & (14)] Existing or platted streets; Private Easements;
Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved. Address the following:
• The status of Grand Forks Blvd. and Laurel Park Lane seems unclear
both on the plat and some of the past plats. DB 3704 PG 201 appears to
have changed both from "access easements" to "private streets" but did
not appear to have subdivided either of them from TMP 32-41 L. Provide
documentation that clarifies the streets status. Why Grand Forks Blvd. is
shown as a "R/W" instead of a "private street easement" like Laurel Park
Lane and represent both appropriately on the plat.
• Laurel Park Lane is shown as a "Private Street Easement", however it is
not clearly represented as being part of any other "parcel" and is
graphically shown as part of Grand Forks Blvd which is labeled as a
"R/W". Represent the "Private Street Easement" in a way that make it
obvious what parcel it is still part of.
• If one or both of these "private streets" are "private street easements"
within TMP 32-41 L, as they seem to be, then the additional width of those
easements should not be labeled as "private R/W to be extended".
Revise the labels accordingly.
• Private streets must be labeled as "Private Street". Grand Forks Blvd is
labeled as a "Variable Width Private RNV" and does not include "Private
Street" in it label. Revise appropriately.
• Identify the holder of all private easements. Although there are notes
specifying the future homeowners association for the two alleys and
Grand Forks Blvd. there is no note specifying who will own and be
maintaining Laurel Park Lane. Revise the notes to include Laurel Park
Lane.
• If "Grand Forks Blvd" is not a "R/W" ensure all notes and labels on the
plat are revised to no long specify that it is one. Notes 8 and 9 will have
to be revised.
• Provide all existing or proposed HOA documents, supplemental
document, deeds and/or separate maintenance documents showing both
the ownership and maintenance of all private street easements that are
being expanded with this plat.
• Revise Note 10, about the streets in the subdivision, to state "The Private
Streets" or provide information to the plat reviewer that supports the
current wording.
3. [14-302 (A)(4) & (14)] Private Easements; Land to be dedicated in fee or
reserved. Address the following:
• If the dedication of right of way for Berkmar Drive is not being
accomplished with this plat, and will be dedicated with the subdivision plat
after the site plan is approved, then any easement that will be extending
to it in the future must extend even further now to Berkmar's current
location. This applies to:
o The alley easement
o The sight distance easement
o The landscape easement (not yet shown on the plat)
• Provide on the plat landscape easements for the full length of Berkmar
Drive where it is adjacent to the subject parcel and to the full depth that
would allow 6' of landscaping area behind the sidewalk. No landscaping
easement appears to be shown on the plat for Berkmar Drive.
• Provide a landscaping easement for the full length of the portion of Laurel
Park Lane where it is adjoining the subject parcel. There is a portion of
Laurel Park Lane that does not include a landscape easement. Ensure
that required street trees, at the spacing specified, can be provided in all
of the landscape easements proposed.
• Ensure that the all landscape easement will provide a minimum of 6' of
planting area behind the proposed sidewalk. This plat and the last
submission of the site plan do not appear to be drawn at the same scale
despite them both being labeled at 1 "=30', or that the size of the parcel is
no longer the same. It does not appear, when the two are lined up that
the areas of proposed landscaping easement along Laurel Park Lane will
meet the 6' landscaping requirement mentioned above.
• Ensure all sidewalks will either be in right of ways, access easements, or
within open space that will be created with this subdivision plat. It is not
clear whether the sidewalks that pass between the residential units will
meet this requirement. Address the following:
o If any proposed sidewalks will not be within one of the areas
specified above then an access easement for the sidewalks must
be provided with this easement plat.
o The easement required for a sidewalk must ensure sufficient
space beyond the sidewalk for maintenance. As shown on the
site plan the sidewalks between the residential units do not appear
to have any area beyond the sidewalk for maintenance.
c As specified above, this plat and the last submission of the site
plan do not appear to match. Therefore it is uncertain whether
there is sufficient additional width added to Laurel Park Lane in
order to ensure that the private street access easement goes 1'
beyond the proposed sidewalk. Ensure that sufficient private
street width is provided in order to do so.
o Revise plat as necessary.
Ensure all new easements specify "New" in their label. There are many
labels on the plat that do not specify "new" when the item is being
proposed.
Provide all existing or proposed HOA documents, supplemental
document, deeds and/or separate maintenance agreements showing both
the ownership and maintenance of the alleys, private streets and
landscaping easements and additional access easements for sidewalks.
These documents will be reviewed by the County Attorney. Address the
following:
o With existing documents they must be worded to automatically
incorporate new or expanded easement areas, and expanded
private streets, or a new supplemental document must be
provided that adds the new areas/easements.
o All documents for maintenance must be highlighted showing
where the minimum document requirements are provided. See
the attached "subdivision maintenance instrument review
checklist", which must be filled out and submitted with each
document.
c For existing HOA documents the sections that show either that the
private street or easement is already covered in the document, or
that the maintenance requirements meet the County's minimum
requirements, must be highlighted prior to submission to the plan
reviewer. See the attached "subdivision maintenance instrument
review checklist".
o The plat will not be approved until these documents have all been
approved, signed, notarized, and a copy of the notarized
documents provided to the plan reviewer.
o Any new documents that provide ownership and/or maintenance
of the easements/private streets must be recorded at the same
time as the easement plat.
o Ensure that the final version of all documents reference this plat
with the correct name, date and revision date at the time of
recordation.
4. [14-302 (A)(5) & 14-303 (t-)] Public Easements; Public utility, drainage and
sight distance easements. Address the following:
• As specified above, if the dedication of right of way for Berkmar Drive is
not being accomplished with this plat, and will be dedicated with the
subdivision plat after the site plan is approved, then the sight distance
easement that will be extending to Berkmar Drive's future right of way
must extend even further now to Berkmar's current location.
• Ensure all new easements specify "New" in their label. There are many
labels on the plat that do not specify "new" when they are proposed.
5. [14-302 (A)(6)] Alleys and shared driveways. Address the following:
• As specified above, if the dedication of right of way for Berkmar Drive is
not being accomplished with this plat, and will be dedicated with the
subdivision plat after the site plan is approved, then any alley easement
that will be extending to Berkmar Drive's future right of way must extend
even further now to Berkmar's current location.
• The alley access easement, in the upper right corner of Sheet No. V2,
does not accurately follow the proposed alley in the site plan. There is a
curved corner in the alley that should be included in the access easement
area.
6. [14-302 (A)(15)] Identification of all owners and certain interest holders.
Provide all existing or proposed HOA documents, supplemental document, deeds
and/or separate maintenance documents showing both the ownership and
maintenance of all private street, alley, access easement and landscape easement
that are being created or expanded with this plat.
7. [14-303 (C) & (H)] Boundary Lines; Monuments. Address the following:
• Provide boundary information along the existing edge of the private
road "R/W and/or easements.
• Ensure that the line types utilized clearly differentiate between existing and
proposed as well as easement versus parcel or right of way boundaries.
8. [14-303 (E)] Dimension standards and information on all lots, streets, alleys,
easements and shared driveways. Address the following:
• The label for each of the alleys should include "alley easement".
• The label for each of the private street must include "private street".
• Ensure that all easement holders are identified on the plat and that the most
recent deed book and page number for the easement is provided.
9. [14-303 (H)] Monuments. Label on the plat the iron pins found and the iron pins
that are to be set.
10. [14-303 (L)] Public utility, drainage and sight distance easements. If the
Berkmar Drive right-of-way is not being expanded to meet the site plan
requirements at this time then any easement that will be extending to it in the
future must extend even further now to Berkmar's current location. Extend the
sight distance easement to reach the road right of way.
11. [14-303 (0)] Signature panel. The address for the owner of the parcel shown in
the signature panel is not the address shown in the County's online GIS for the
parcel. Ensure that the address is correct and confirm to the plat reviewer that the
address provided is correct or revise the plat.
12. [COMMENT] Ensure that the plat accurately represents what is shown on the
most recent final site plan submittal or that the final site plan is updated to match
the plat before the next submission. Provide reviewer information on why there is
a difference between the two and that the parcel, and items within the parcel, do
not line up when the two documents are compared.
13. [COMMENT] Ensure with the next submission that the revision date on the plat is
updated.
