The Administrator may require subdividers of residential subdivisions
to set aside land for sidewalks, bicycle paths, parks, playgrounds,
schools, libraries, municipal buildings, historical landmarks and
similar public and semipublic uses in accordance with the Carroll
County Comprehensive Land Use Plan and subject to the following regulation:
A. Subdividers shall not be required to reserve land for public purposes
other than streets and drainage easements except on a reimbursement
basis. They shall be reimbursed by the jurisdiction or agency requiring
the land. They shall not be required to hold the land longer than
18 months following the recording of the plat for such purposes. If
the land is not purchased within said 18 months, it may be sold as
lots for the same purposes for which the subdivision was platted.
To facilitate such possible eventual sale of reserved land as separate
lots, the subdivider shall show on his final plat, by dotted lines
and dotted numbers, the area and dimensions of lots to be created
within the boundaries of any such reserved land and may sell such
lots, after the expiration date of the reservation, by number without
filing an amended plat.
B. Where land is required for public purposes other than streets and
drainage easements, the reimbursement by the governing body shall
be based on a proportionate share of the value of raw land; cost of
improvements, including interest on investment; and development cost;
and not less than 10% profit on the total of such costs.
C. The Administrator shall make certain that lands so reserved are divisible
in the same manner as the remainder of the subdivision, so that the
subdivider will not be required to reserve an unusable portion of
his subdivision.
D. NSAP 400 square feet of land designated for the purpose of utility
access.
No subdivision nor any lot lines in a subdivision may be changed,
altered or vacated except as provided in Title 15.2, Chapter 22, Article
6, of the Code of Virginia,
A resubdivision of all or any part of a recorded subdivision
shall not be made or recorded until submitted and approved as described
in this chapter. The procedure for resubdivision shall be the same
as that for subdivision.
The maximum allowable error of closure shall be as stipulated
by the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation.
A subdivider, when advertising a subdivided tract of land for
sale, shall specify in writing as to the following items:
A. Whether officially approved water and sewage facilities are available
or not.
B. If any deed restrictions are placed upon the lots in the subdivision,
such restrictions shall be advertised or a statement given as to where
a copy of the restrictions can be obtained.
C. The advertisement shall state whose responsibility it is to maintain
the streets in the subdivision. A copy of all advertisement to be
used or used in the sale of said property shall be furnished to the
Administrator with the final plat.
