Memorandum
To: Tom Shumate, Jr.
From: Christopher Perez
Division: Planning
Date: August 7, 2018
Subject: SUB201800107 Tax Map 70-49 Parcel B — Preliminary Subdivision Plat
The County of Albemarle Planning Division will grant or recommend approval of the
Subdivision 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. [14-203(I), 14-218] Fees. Pay the $215 public notification fee prior to any further
review/action of the preliminary plat.
2. [14.308.1] Tier 3 Groundwater Review. Please submit a Tier III groundwater study for
County review. Also, please submit the required $548 fee to commence this study prior to
final plat approval.
3. [14-302(A)10] Right of further division of proposed lots. The development rights note on
the plat is incorrect. TMP 70-49 is only allotted 3 development rights based on its
acreage. Revise the development right note on the plat to read: "Lot 1, 2, and 3 are each
assigned I development right and may not be further divided. "
Notably, the minimum lot size in the Rural Area zoning district is 2 acres, thus they
would not be further subdividable regardless of additional development rights.
4. [14-232, 14-306] Private Streets. The private street request shall be sent to the Planning
Commission for review and approval prior to final plat approval. This item has not been
acted on prior to receiving conditional approval of the preliminary plat. The private street
must meet the standards under 14-410 and 14-412.
Additionally, revisions to the private street request are needed, revise the request as
follows:
A) The private street appears to serve 4 lots. The 3 proposed lots and TMP 70-
4813, which currently utilizes it to serve the existing addressed structure #8180. Revise
the request to state this, if this is not the case provide an explanation in the request.
B) Revise finding #iii of the request to provide the acreage of the private street
easement. This information will then be utilized to determine if the street area
was dedicated to public use and subtracted from the proposed lots, that each lot
would still be able to maintain a 2 acre minimum.
Q The private street request is incomplete and needs to also include required
justifications under Section 14-234, as follows:
[14-234(a)] The request shall include: (i) a map of the subdivision having contour
intervals of not greater than twenty (20) feet showing the horizontal alignment; (ii) field -
run profiles and typical cross-sections of the proposed streets; (iii) the maximum number
of lots to be served by each private street; and (iv) documentation explaining how the
perpetual maintenance of the private street including, and identifying the person or entity
that will be responsible for maintaining the improvements. * The request shall also
include earthwork computations demonstrating significant degradation.
[14-234(c)] 1. The private street will be adequate to carry the traffic volume which may
be reasonably expected to be generated by the subdivision. 2. The comprehensive plan
does not provide for a public street in the approximate location of the proposed private
street; 3. The fee of the private street will be owned by the owner of each lot abutting the
right-of-way thereof or by an association composed of the owners of all lots in the
subdivision, subject in either case to any easement for the benefit of all lots served by the
street; 4. Except where required by the commission to serve a specific public purpose, the
private street will not serve through traffic nor intersect the state highway system in more
than one location; and 5. If applicable, the private street has been approved in accordance
with section 30.3, flood hazard overlay district, of the zoning ordinance and other
applicable law.
5. [14-302(A)1] Name of subdivision. Provide a name for the subdivision.

Street Easement.
8. [14-302(A)4] Private Easements. Label all new easements as `proposed' and provide
their dimensions. The current 30' easement label next to State Route 692 is unclear, as it
appears to label State Route 692 as 30' wide, while the proposed private road remains
unlabeled. Revise.
Additionally, the private road appears to be built on what is currently a driveway for 8180
State Route 692 (Plank Road). More information needs to be provided as to whether the
private road would also be serving TMP 70-48B.
9. [14-302(A)15] Identification of all owners and certain interest holders. On the plat

and Scenic Byways zoning overlay districts.
12. [14-302(B)7] Include a water supply watershed note as follows: "This site lies within the
Albemarle County South Fork Rivanna Reservoir Water Supply Watershed. " Also
