As per the approved ZMA, 19 blocks will be formed and developed as a Neighborhood Service Center (Block 1), Urban Density Residential (Blocks 2 through 4), and Neighborhood Density Residential (Blocks 5 through 18). [Figure 2] This proposal focuses on Blocks 4A and 4B, which are separated by Archer Avenue, a new street which will serve as the development's main access route from Rt. 29. [Figure 3] This final site plan shows four large, rectangular multi -family apartment buildings on the north and south perimeters of Block 4A with a clubhouse, pool, fitness building, and parking on the interior, as well as a small maintenance building on the western boundary line. Five multi -family apartment buildings line the north, east, and south perimeters of Block 4B with parking relegated to the interior. Archer Avenue, the east -west entrance road from Rt. 29, terminates in a roundabout; Stella Lane is the north -south interior road that offers access to both blocks on the eastern edge. Although this is not illustrated on the Final Site Development Plan for these blocks, the southern portion of Stella Lane will feed into Polo Grounds Road. Brookhill's approved Code of Development requires a 100-foot tree buffer along Rt. 29 that will screen the western boundary of Blocks 4A and 4B, mitigating visibility of the apartment complexes from Rt. 29, the Entrance Corridor street under consideration. [Figure 41 Given this proposed 100-foot tree buffer, it is anticipated that the majority of the interior of the blocks will not be visible from Rt. 29. Archer Avenue will be visible, and likely the west, north and south elevations of the four buildings that flank Archer Avenue. Furthermore, the upper stories of the north and west elevations of the northwestern building are expected to be visible beyond the stormwater management facility landscape screening. In addition, it may be that more buildings, or greater portions of the buildings, will be temporarily visible while the 100-foot tree buffer is established.

Hence, trees will need to be spaced away from the building to allow maintenance access. The applicant is seeking a special exception from the minimum 10' rear setback requirement in the Code of Development (which will be heard at the Board of Supervisors' meeting on September 5, 2018). As it is currently drawn, a 5'-10' planting depth gap exists between the eastern edge of the 30' buffer area and the southern portion of the west elevation of the northwest building in Block 4A, which will suffice for maintenance and have minimal visual impact from the EC. However, a larger planting gap (15'- 22') remains along the whole of the west elevation of the southwestern building in Block 4B. This should be reduced to 10', just as it is illustrated in Block 4A. 14 33 Landscaping along interior roads: Provide the trees on Stella Lane and The proposed trees and shrubs along Stella Lane and Revise the landscape plans on C- a.

Provide the standard lighting note on the lighting plans (C-704 and C-705). 12. Revise the plan to eliminate conflicts between light poles and trees. 13. Reduce the depth of the planting gap along the western wall of the southwestern building in Block 4B and the beginning of the landscape buffer to 10' by adding trees. 14. Revise the landscape plans on C-701 and C-702 to call out the number and types of shrubbery proposed for Stella Lane and Archer Avenue. Rectify the plant schedules to correspond to the illustration. 15. Revise the plan to resolve all utility/landscape conflicts. 16.
