Rev1: This exception will need to be submitted an approved prior to the approval of the final site plan. 4. [32.5.2 (b)] Remove references to Phase 2 for density and number of units. This application is for Phase 1 only, and approval will not be given for the number of units noted on Sheet 1 for Phase 2. In addition, a special use permit cannot be submitted for additional density. This will need to be accomplished either by a rezoning or a comprehensive plan amendment. Rev1: Comment addressed. 5. [32.5.2 (b)] Remove the Sheet 4 from the final site plan set. This can be an exhibit, however, the layout is not being approved for Phase 2 at this time. Rev1: Comment addressed. 6. [32.5.2 (b)] Indicate the square feet of each of the tot lots on the plan. Rev1: The minimum size for a tot lot is 2,OOOsf. Revise to meet the requirements of 4.16. 1 7.

[32.5.2 (n)] The following need to be dimensioned and/or materials need to be shown: 1. Sidewalks 2. Driveways Rev1: Comment addressed. 10. A boundary line adjustment is needed to approve the site plan. None of the setbacks etc meet the requirements until the boundary line adjustment is approved. See comments below that were given during the initial site plan/plat. A. [14-302 (A) (3)] Sheet two shows a number of existing rights of way with no ownership information. Will these be vacated? What kind of roads are they? Provide the correct deed book with ownership and all information regarding these roads in order to determine the process for vacating them. The deed book and page number listed does not give information regarding the roads nor does it have a plat associated with it. In addition, some of these right of way cross property that is not a part of the subdivision, and therefore if these are being vacated, or a portion of them are being vacated, additional permission from adjacent owners may be required, and those owner's will need to be signatories on the plat. All information needs to be shown and then indicated those rights of way being vacated on the plat. See State Code section 15.2-2272. § 15.2-2272. Vacation of plat after sale of lot. In cases where any lot has been sold, the plat or part thereof may be vacated according to either of the following methods: 1. By instrument in writing agreeing to the vacation signed by all the owners of lots shown on the plat and also signed on behalf of the governing body of the locality in which the land shown on the plat or part thereof to be vacated lies for the purpose of showing the approval of the vacation by the governing body. In cases involving drainage easements or street rights -of -way where the vacation does not impede or alter drainage or access for any lot owners other than those lot owners immediately adjoining or contiguous to the vacated area, the governing body shall only be required to obtain the signatures of the lot owners immediately adjoining or contiguous to the vacated area. The word "owners" shall not include lien creditors except those whose debts are secured by a recorded deed of trust or mortgage and shall not include any consort of an owner. The instrument of vacation shall be acknowledged in the manner of a deed and filed for record in the clerk's office of any court in which the plat is recorded. Rev1: Comment addressed. B. [14-302(A)(3)] Will all of the parcels be combined/vacated via a boundary line adjustment for this subdivision? There are a number of parcels, and it's unclear if they will be combined into one parcel or how this will be handled. More information needs to be shown via a plat. Rev1: Comment not addressed. The quiet title stated ownership of the roads, but did not vacate any of the properties. A boundary line adjustment needs to be submitted and approved prior to the approval of the site plan. This comment and the general comment under #10 still remains. 11. [14-302 (A)(4)] It appears that the alley will need to be a public or private road for frontage purposes for Phase 2 of this development. This alley will need to meet all the requirements including sidewalks, street trees, etc. If it will be a private road, a justification and private street request will be required under 14-233 and 14-234. In addition, the lots will be double frontage lots and need to include screening as required. Rev1: Comment addressed. 12. [14-302 (A)(5)] An easement plat will be required to be approved prior to site plan approval for all easements/areas outside of the right of way. This includes landscaping, open space, stormwater management, drainage, site distance, etc. Deeds will be required to ensure the maintenance of these easements/areas. Rev1: Comment not addressed. Plat has not been submitted to date. 13. [32.7.9] Site distance triangles need to be shown on the landscape plan to ensure that the street trees are outside of the triangles. VDOT is requiring all street trees to be located outside of sight distance. Rev1: Comment addressed. 14. [32.7.9] A conservation plan checklist is required on the landscape plan for the preservation of the existing trees. See attached. Rev1: Comment addressed. 15. [32.5.2(b)] Will the existing house be used as a dwelling? If so, the density needs to reflect this. If not, state the intended use of the structure. Rev1: Comment addressed. 16. [32.5.2] The lighting notes that no "street lights" will be provided. However, any lights over 3000 lumens must meet the requirements of Section 4.17 and be full cut off. Rev1: A note is not sufficient, if lighting is proposed a lighting plan must be submitted with the information required in 4.17. 17. [32.7.9.5(e)] The parking lot must be screened from the street. Shrubs should be planted between the street and the parking area in a single row, five feet on center and at least 12" in height when planted. Rev1: Comment addressed. 18. [32.7.9.6(a)] Provide the landscaping standards for the parking lot and provide the minimum amount of planting required. Rev1: Comment addressed. Additional Comments: 1. Since the submittal of the site plan, a special use permit has been submitted that includes parcels within this plan and recommended conditions that may affect the layout of the plan/lots.
