SUB201700193 — Joe Gieck - Final
SubApplication Type: I Final - Extension of Approval
Date Completed: 12/14/2017
Reviewer: Cameron Langille Division: CDD Planning
Review Status: Denied
Reviews Comments: Pursuant to Albemarle County Code § 14-230(D), the above referenced subdivision plat has been
disapproved. The specific reason for disapproval is provided with references to specific duly adopted
ordinances, regulations or policies. Required modifications or corrections that will permit approval of
the subdivision plat are included as well. The reason for disapproval is as follows:
1. [14-400] The final plat proposes to subdivide Tax Map Parcel 05500-00-00-03800 into two
separate lots. TMP 05500-00-00-03800 measures a total of 6.50 acres, and the proposed lots are
identified as Lot 1 (2.91 acres) and Lot 2 (3.59 acres).
The final plat cannot be approved because the new lots do not meet the minimum lot frontage and lot
access requirements in accordance with § 14-400. Sheet 2 of the plat shows that two existing
dwellings were located on TMP 55-38 as of October 14, 2009. However, the dwelling that would be
located within the property boundaries of the new Lot 1 was demolished and removed sometime after
October 12, 2017, according to the call -out on Sheet 2 of the plat. In accordance with § 14-400, a
dwelling that existed on October 14, 2009 must be located on each new lot proposed by the
subdivision. The removal of the dwelling on Lot 1 precludes the plat from being approved under the
October 14, 2009 minimum lot requirement principles. Therefore, the plat is denied because Lots 1
and 2 do not meet the minimum lot frontage and lot access requirements in accordance with §
14-400 and § 14-403.
2. [14-232 (A) and 14-234] The existing 20' private right-of-way easement located on TMP 55-38
currently serves as the single point of access onto State Route 684 for TMP 55-38 and TMP 55-38A,
in accordance with the plat and private street maintenance agreement recorded in Deed Book 4948,
pages 555-561. In order for the two -lot division of TMP 55-38 to be approved, a private street must
be approved by the Planning Commission to serve three (3) lots, in accordance with § 14-232(A).
a. The applicant will need to follow the procedures to authorize private streets in accordance with §
14-234. This includes submittal of a written request for approval of a private street, and submittal of
all supplementary materials specified in § 14-234(A).
3. [14-311] The applicant must file a separate Application For Road Plan Approval. The road plan
application must be reviewed and approved by the County prior to approval of a final plat subdividing
TMP 55-38.
a. [14-410 and 14-412] The existing driveway must be upgraded to meet the minimum standards
for residential private streets serving three to five lots in the rural areas, in accordance with § 14-410
and § 14-412(A)(2)(a).
4. [14-302 (A)(6)] Please state the width of the existing gravel driveway in the driveway labels on
Sheet 2.
5. [14-308.1 ] The Tier II Groundwater Assessment has been completed and is attached for your
records.
6. [14-309 & 14-310] Please provide soils evaluations for subsurface drainfields on both lots in
accordance with Section 14-309. Approval from the Health Director for onsite septic and wells is
required prior to final plat approval, in accordance with Section 14-310.
7. [14-316] The Virginia Department of Transportation will need to review and approve the entrance
onto State Route 684 for the new private street serving TMP 55-38A and the new Lots 1 and 2.
