The original rezoning was approved to disturb critical slopes as proposed on the application plan. However in 2014 there was a Countywide rezoning of all slopes in the development area to either preserved or managed slopes. Preserved slopes are not permitted to be disturbed, managed slopes are permitted to be disturbed per the County's design standards. Section 30.7.4(b)1(g) allows uses/structures shown on an approved application plan to be located on preserved slopes. Prior to road plan approval provide an exhibit depicting the envelop of development from the approved application plan superimposed on the envelop of development for the current proposal. Also on this exhibit superimpose the County's steep slopes overlay district (distinguish between managed and preserved slopes) and the critical slopes depicted on the approved application plan. Ensure each of the five items discussed above are clearly distinguishable from each other through the use of line widths, hatching, and colors to aid staff in determining if this current proposal is in conformity with the County regulations mentioned above. Please provide a legend. Any areas proposed to be disturbed for the current proposal that are outside of the envelop of development from the approved application plan which disturb preserved slopes previously classified as critical slopes shall not be permitted. If such instances exist the road plan shall be revised prior to approval to be in conformity with the approved application plan, or the road plan shall be denied and a rezoning will be required to facilitate the new proposal. In short: in order to verify compliance with [30.7, 30.7.4(b)1(g)] Steep Slope Overlay provide one exhibit depicting the following: - The envelop of development from the approved application plan superimposed on the envelop of development for the current proposal. - The County's steep slopes overlay district (distinguishing managed and preserved slopes) - The critical slopes depicted on the approved application plan. 14. [ZMA2013-14, 14-4091 Coordination and Extension of Streets. On the final plat the applicant shall dedicate to public use the Lewis and Clark Road connection to the northern property line of TMP 32-22K. A road plan is required for this segment of roadway, this can either be accomplished on a new road plan or on SUB2016- 92. Prior to final subdivision plat approval the connection shall be built or bonded. At SRC the applicant requested to phase the preliminary plat into two phases and bond the above mentioned road improvement with the second phase. This is permissible to Planning staff and shall be depicted on the final plat. Depending on where the phase line is, this modification may effect Fire and Rescue's review/approval. Prior to road plan approval please submit either an exhibit or a revised road plan depicting and labeling the phase line. 15. [Proffer 10.11 On the northern side of Cross Creek Drive provide an emergency connection to TMP 32-22E. The road plan shall label it "50' Right-of-way Reserved for Future Dedication Upon Demand of the County". Also, ensure that all applicable temporary construction easements are provided to construct the connection. Be aware that the proffer also states that prior to the issuance of a building permit for building 32 as shown on the application plan that the R/W shall be dedicated to public use, which means a road plan for that section shall be approved and bonded prior to dedication and acceptance and/or the conditions listed shall be addressed in a deed. 16. [SP2002-72] Condition #9. The owner shall design and construct as emergency access ways extensions to Pritchett lane within 50' wide right-of-way as depicted on the application plan.

These improvements shall be bonded with the road plan per Proffer 6.1. 18. [SP2015-3] Condition #2. Revise the road plan to provide a cutsheet of the proposed 8 x 8 underground crossing for pedestrians. Also, per VDOT review comments this improvement will require a private maintenance agreement as VDOT will not maintain it.
