[Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless
otherwise specified.]
Conditions of Preliminary Plat Approval (from letter dated 11/16/12):
1. [14-302(A)4 & 5] Private and Public easements. Any necessary easements must be documented and
approved during the road plan or WPO application process.
Final: Comment not fully addressed. Address the following:
• Show all Mitigation area as shown on previous plat SUB2016-79.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
• Provide the required documentation to support and create all easements.
Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Comment still valid.
Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
• All deeds and agreements that are required for the easements and maintenance must be submitted,
reviewed by the County Attorney's office and recorded prior to approval of this plat.
Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Comment still valid.

Attorney's office and are ready for signatures. Submit the signed version of the deeds.
These must be recorded at the same time as the final plat.
• A Deed of Easement for the public drainage easements must be approved by the County Attorney's
Office and recorded with this plat; please submit for review.
Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Comment still valid. ATTACHED please find a template for this
type of deed of easement.
Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
• There is a label for a storm drain easement on sheet 7 that states, "New 23' Storm Drain
Easement". However no easement seems to be show in that area. Either ensure that any
associated easement is visible or remove the label if it is incorrect.
Rev. 1: Comment not yet fully addressed. Confirm that the storm drain easement is supposed to be
23' and not 20' wide. If it is supposed to be 20' wide revise the plat.
Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
2. [14-302(A)7] Existing and departing lot lines. All existing property lines must be accurately shown and
labeled.
Final: Revise the existing lots to show the previously approved subdivision lot lines. The boundary line that
was adjusted in SUB2016-158 is not represented correctly on thue subdivision plat.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
3. [14-302(A)8 & 13.4.1] Proposed lots. Due to the application of the street tree bonus factor, all lots are to
be a minimum of 20,OOOsf with a minimum lot frontage of 80'. Street trees must also be provided on all
roads as indicated on the preliminary plat.
Final: Comment not fully addressed. See comment #6 below.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
4. [14-302(B)3] Public areas, facilities or uses. Coordinate with the Department of Parks and Recreation to
establish the exact location of the greenway area and any other facilities as noted in the Comprehensive
Plan. Please refer to comments provided by Parks during preliminary plat review.
Final: The greenway plat has been approved and recorded. Revise the label for the Public Greenway
Easement on the lower right corner of the site on sheet 2 such that it is placed in a way, possibly with
arrows like the other labels, which makes the location of the easement obvious.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
5. [14-302(A)9] Building sites on proposed lots. The Board of Supervisors approved a critical slope waiver
request for this subdivision. An overlot grading plan must be submitted as a condition of approval of this
waiver.
Final: Comment addressed. The overlot grading plan was submitted with SUB201400067.
6. [14-302(B)8 & 4.6.1(c)] Yards. This subdivision includes many non-standard setback/yard lines to
establish the setback or yard where the minimum lot width is achieved; therefore, all setback/yard lines must
be shown on the final plat.
Final: Comment not fully addressed. Setbacks are extended further into the lot when the lot is not uniformly
shaped and the minimum lot width (80') is not achieved at the setback line as designated by the zoning.
Therefore, the cul-de-sac lots 79 through 82 must have setbacks based upon an approved method. As
specified for "future reference" in Rev. 3 comments for the Phase II subdivision plat (SUB2016-79) the front
setback for lot frontage of less than 80' on a cul-de-sac are meant to be represented with a straight setback
line at the point at which the width of the lot is 80'. Attached is a step by step example of the process the
County is using to construct the setbacks lines in these cases. Apply this method to the front setbacks for
the specified lots. Please contact the plan reviewer with any questions on how to apply the method.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
Final Plat Comments:
7. [2.2.3] Minimum open space required. Open space D is not labeled on sheet 3. Revise the sheet to include
the area's letter designation and acreage.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
8. [14-302(A)1] Name of subdivision. Revise the coversheet of the plat to include the name of the
subdivision.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
9. [14-302(A)2] Vicinity map. Revise the scale of the vicinity map to be precise and not
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
10. [14-302(A)8 &14- 303(D)] Proposed lots; Acreage of lots. Address the following:
• Revise sheets 7 and 8 to include lot number labels on all proposed lots.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
• Revise the acreage of the Phase II residue to match that shown in the approved and recorded plat (DB
4883 PG464-477) or provide information and documentation why the size shown on this plat is correct.
This change should be made on Sheets 1 & 2.
Rev. 1: Comment withdrawn because of rounding errors.
• The approved Phase II subdivision plat (SUB2016-79) and the proposed plat show slightly different
areas for Phase II open space on the coversheet. Update the areas on the plat or specify why these
values are the correct ones.
Rev. 1: Comment withdrawn because of typographical errors on previous plat.
11. [14-302(A)11] Instrument creating property proposed for subdivision. Provide the deed book and page
number of the recorded subdivision plat that created the Phase II residue on Sheet 2 of the subdivision plat
in the residue's label under the acreage.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
12. [14-302(B)6] Tax Map and parcel number. Revise the plat to include the TMP for the Phase II Residue lot
on Sheet 2 and in the area summary on page 1. Please note that the Albemarle County GIS shows the
parcel as TMP 56-53R.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
13. [14- 303(C), (H) & (1)] Boundary lines; Monuments; Bearing and distance ties. Address the following:

• Provide iron pin found labels along the boundary line with the previously platted Phase II area and the
existing road right of way.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
• There appears to be no differentiation between the symbols for the IF and IS on all the sheets. Either
provide more labels or provide different symbols and a legend.
Rev. 1: Comment sufficiently addressed.
14. [14- 303(J)] Restrictions. Address the following:
• On the coversheet under "Density (Phase III)" the values given do not match those provide in the same
area of the Phase II plat. Since this is supposed to be a calculation for the allowable density of a cluster
development with a density bonus for street trees the values should match. Either revise the plat or
provide information on why the values provided are correct although inconsistent.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
• This plat has two different sections on the coversheet for "Density Proposed" and "Density Platted" for
Phase III. Only "Density Proposed" was provided on the plat for Phases I & II. In this plat, these two
sections also show different information for Phase III. Either clarify why both of these section are
required and revise any errors (including acreage and dwelling units per acre) or provide a similar
format, and sections of information, to the one included on the previously approved plat(s).
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
• There appears to be a missing area of "Landscape easement" on sheet 8. It should be in the upper
right of the page between the end of the "New 20' Sanitary Sewer Easement" and the "New 10' Storm
Drain Easement". Add this missing section of easement.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
15. [14- 303(S)] Control points. Provide at least four (4) control points, evenly distributed across the property

Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
16. [14-317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. An instrument for the maintenance
of privately owned improvements (street trees, common areas, etc.) must be submitted for review.
The maintenance of the street trees that will be outside of the right-of-way and inside the "10' Landscaping
and Maintenance Easement", as well as the maintenance of the proposed open spaces, are examples of
such improvements. A highlighted version of the maintenance document(s), specifying where each of the
items in the County Attorney's checklist are located in the document, must been submitted. Attached
please find the checklist. If any of the items in the checklist are not included in the document also include a
highlighted version of any other supplemental documents that cover those checklist items. This document
must be approved by the County Attorney's office before approval of this plat and must be recorded with the
plat.
Rev. 1: Comment not addressed. Comment still valid.
Rev. 2: Comment not vet fully addressed. The documents have been reviewed by the County
Attorney's office and are ready for signatures. Submit the signed version of the deeds. These must

Revise the coversheet to correct this error.
Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
