(The following comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments may be added or eliminated based upon further review.) [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.] [General Comment] A road plan must be a stand-alone document and should not include a site plan or other types of plans. 2. [General Comment] Please include a plan view of the road that is separate from the site plan, and include those items required by 18-32.6.6 and 14-304. (A list of items required to be included should also be in the checklist portion of the application document for a road plan, which may be easier to consult than the full ordinance sections.) Everything that is proposed to be in the right-of-way in the road plans, including the sidewalks, planting strips, signage, etc., should be shown and labelled on the aerial plan views. Also, include the dimensions of each element in the right-of-way, as well as the proposed paving materials (e.g., concrete for the sidewalks). 3. [General Comment] Please include a note on the road plans that the approval of road plans is only for those elements within the right-of-way. Approval of road plans does not grant approval of the entire site plan, or items outside of the right-of-way, such as parcel boundaries, open space locations, etc. 4. [General Comment] Include on the road plans some labels designating what type of street each street is, such as public or private, as well as the proposed right-of-way width. 5. [General Comment] The label on sheet 22 for Bishopgate Lane Extended incorrectly reads "Chancery Lane." Please fix. 6. [14-234] A private street request will be required for Bishopgate Lane Extended. See 14-233 and 14-234 for the requirements, justification, and findings that will need to be made for the private street. If the request is made outside of a subdivision application, a fee is required. In addition, the sidewalk and planting strips will need to be extended along this street, unless an exception or a variation to 14-422 and the application plan is requested and granted. 7. [14-234] A private street request will be required for Charnwood Street and Raylor Place. See 14-233 and 14-234 for the requirements, justification, and findings that will need to be made for the private street. If the request is made outside of a subdivision application, a fee is required. It appears, however, that these two streets may be intended to be alleys, as otherwise they would create double -frontage lots that must comply with 14-401. If they are proposed to be private alleys, please label them as such. Also, they will need to conform with the designs for alleys as shown on sheet 4 of the Application Plan and in chapter 14 of the County Code. 8. [32.5.2] The required street trees and other street landscaping should be shown on the road plans. Also include the landscaping schedule for these plants. 9. [ZMA2015-00001] Please include the proffers associated with this development in the road plans. 10. [General Comment] If there is going to be on -street parking, please include those areas on the plans. Per the Code of Development, on -street parking should be included. 11. [General Comment] Please include a note with the road plans that states the "Associated Plans" with this project, including the project numbers, which would be SDP201800069 for the final site plan. 12. [General Comment] Please be advised that the second point of emergency access will be required prior to the construction of the 31 st structure in this phase. This proposed emergency access route appears to continue on as an as-yet-unbuilt road on a neighboring property zoned RA, Rural Areas. Where is the connection point for this emergency access route proposed to be? 13. [General Comment] Please include a note in the road plans to state that all landscaping within the rights - of -way shall be installed prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for a structure in Block 32. 14. [14-208.3] In order to dedicate the right-of-way for the proposed public streets, an Application For A Special Lot must be submitted, reviewed, approved, and recorded. In accordance with Chapter 14, the special lot application does not necessarily need to be approved prior to approval of the road plan application. The applicant may submit the special lot application prior to road plan approval, after road plan approval but prior to construction, during road construction, or after road construction. Please be aware that any other subdividing of parcels proposing to use road frontage along the proposed public streets will not be approved until the right-of-way is dedicated. The same goes for the approval of any final site plans proposing uses on lots that would use frontage of the proposed public streets. Please feel free to contact staff to further discuss timing of the right-of-way dedication. 15. [ZMA2015-00001] Please include a note in the road plans to state that the roads will be designed to the standard specified in the ZMA201500001 Code of Development and application plan.
