property boundary. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
11. 132.5.2 (b)] Please state what the proposed use is within each building. Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed.
Sheet C-100 states that "each building shall become part of a condominium and uses shall be by -right U." Does
this mean residential uses are proposed? The original submittal stated that the buildings were to be offices.
Industrial offices are a by -right use in LI. The parking schedule on Sheet C-100 states that each building will be
a warehouse use, which is also by -right in Ll. Please clarify. If the uses will be industrial offices and/or
warehousing, remove reference to condominiums since the County does not regulate ownership types, just use
types. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
12. 132.5.2 (b) ] Please state the maximum floor area ratio and lot coverage for industrial uses proposed. Rev. 1:
Comment addressed.

one-half footcandle." Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
28. [32.6.2 (d) and Chapter 14] Please submit an easement plat and application to the County that shows all new
easements proposed by the site plan. This includes all new drainage, stormwater, public access easements, etc.
The easement plat must be reviewed, approved, and recorded prior to approval of the final site plan. Rev. 1:
Comment not fully addressed. An easement plat, SUB201800221, has been submitted for review. Once this
plat is approved and recorded, please amend Sheet C-400 so that the new easement labels contain the recorded
deed book and page number. Rev. 2: Per applicant response, this comment is still valid and the site plan will
be revised accordingly once the easement plat is approved and recorded.
29. [General Comment] Prior to final site plan approval, a WPO plan must be submitted, reviewed, and approved
by the Engineering Division. Please see Engineering comments below for additional information. Rev. 1:
Comment not fully addressed, please see Engineering comments for further details. Rev. 2: WPO plan not yet
approved, see Engineering comments.
30. [General Comment] It appears that the major amendment will utilize some of the approved sheets from
SDP201600076. Please provide a list of the approved final site plan sheets on the Cover Sheet, and cross out
which sheets will not be amended with this major amendment. This is critical for items such as the construction
details, as well as certain sheets necessary for Engineering review (sight distance profiles and traffic management
plan). Rev. 2: Comment addressed.
a. [30.7.4 (b)] Provide a narrative of the disturbances to areas of Preserved Steep Slopes on the Cover
Sheet. There are some areas of Preserved Slopes adjacent to Moores Creek Lane that will be disturbed
to allow installation of utility lines. See the project narrative on Sheet SP 1 of the approved final site plan
for an example of how this information should be conveyed (where Preserved Steep Slopes will be
disturbed, and Zoning Ordinance section that allows the disturbance by -right). Rev. 2: Comment
addressed.
b. Please reference the approved final site plan in Note 1 on Sheet C-100 (SDP201600076). Rev. 2:
Comment addressed.
31. [30.7] The revised major site plan amendment layout proposes to disturb areas of Preserved Steep Slopes behind
buildings 2, 3, and 4. There is a zoning map amendment application under review (ZMA201800017) to rezone
those Preserved Steep Slopes to Managed Steep Slopes in order to allow disturbance of these areas as currently
shown. The major site plan amendment cannot be approved until the ZMA is approved and these slopes have
been re -designated as Managed Steep Slopes. Should the ZMA be disapproved by the Board of Supervisors, the
project will need to be re -designed so that those northern Preserved Steep Slopes remain undisturbed. Rev. 2:
Comment addressed. Engineering Division has confirmed that disturbances to Preserved Steep Slopes
and proposed utility lines/easements within the Preserved Steep Slopes are permitted by -right as necessary
Public facilities and distribution facilities in accordance with Section 30.7.4 (b)(1) of the Zoning Ordinance.
See attached email correspondence from the County Engineer dated 2-25-2019.
32. [General Comment] Please move the crosswalk in the travel way between buildings 4 and 5 so that it connects
to where the sidewalks terminate. Rev. 2: Comment addressed.

Subject: Woolen Mills Light Industrial - Site Plan Amendment
Tim,
RWSA has reviewed the Site Plan Amendment for Woolen Mills Light Industrial Park as prepared by Meridian Planning
Group, LLC and dated 8/3/2018, with latest revision dated 1/17/19 and has the following comments:
Sheet C101:
RWSA is confirming with ACSA that moving the existing chain link fence back to its existing location following
construction of the sanitary sewer line across RWSA property will not adversely impact the ACSA sewer line. I
will respond back once I have confirmation of this item.
Sheet C202:
Include a note this sheet that one lane of Moores Creek Lane shall remain open at all times during utility
installation across the road. Contractor shall coordinate lane closures with RWSA at least 3 days in advance of
the work.
Sheet C-300:
Storm Sewer Profile 1— revise the callout on the profile to read "...Adjust storm sewer as necessary to provide a
minimum separation of 1.5". It's shown correctly on the profile, just not in the note.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks a lot,

All,
The future phases will serve drainage of water from the roads above, and therefore these will need to be public drainage
easements. The impacts are allowed in anticipation of future phases.

Subject: RE: Planning Application Review for SUB201800221 Woolen Mills Light Industrial Park - Easement Plat.
Hi David & Frank,
This project isn't an economic development project. Given that this is the second review of the easement plat tied to
SDP201800065 (which we are currently on our third review), the applicant is probably going to have an issue with us
raising a concern about crossing the preserved slopes this late in the game. Can you & Frank double check on whether
Engineering can allow the crossings as proposed?
The original site plan J.T. approved allowed them to disturb the slopes, and it appears that there is only a slight change
with this one. Planning defers to Engineering for the determination on whether the crossings are acceptable or not. Let
me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
Cameron

Hi Cameron,
I'm requesting changes. See new comments in bold below. I don't think this is an economic development project, right?
We allowed them to cross preserved slopes last time, but it's not clear how much more impact to the slopes are
proposed.
Thanks,
David

Woolen mills plat:
Cover —
• Include New Forest Open Space easement in title in addition to the other easements mentioned
Addressed.
• Provide the source DB/PG reference(s) for this plat
Addressed.
• List date of the field survey
Addressed.
Sheet P5 —
• Remove 'Public'from the drainage easement labels; Not needed.
The drainage easements from storm structures 5A, 8A, 8 are not 'Public' as currently shown. Show easement
connection to existing structure offsite. There's no reason the County should accept them as public. We
allowed for them to cross preserved slopes previously and it had to connect to the existing offsite drainage.
Further impacts to the preserved slopes will have to be evaluated.
All public drainage easement widths should be sized according to the easement width equation found on Page
15 of the Design Standards Manual.
• Fix'Easment' misspelling for the Forest Open Space label.
Addressed.
Sheet P6 —
• ACSA sanitary easement extends thru RWSA property, and will need to provide evidence of their approval.
Pending RWSA approval.

Additional comments:
• Show the SWM facility and deed book/page on the plat.
Addressed.
• Once plat is finalized engineering will send the owner the deed of dedication & easement. The deed & plat are
to be recorded prior to WPO amendment plan approval.
Comment still valid.
