To: Craig Kotarski
From: Tori Kanellopoulos- Planner
Division: Planning Services
Date: December 9, 2019
Subject: SUB201900174 — Southwood Phase 1 — Road Plans
The following are Planning comments on the Road Plan submitted as SUB201900174,
in conjunction with Preliminary Plat SUB201900173:
1. [Notes]: Include all Tax Map Parcels (on Sheet 1) that have grading,
construction, or land disturbance associated with the Road Plan. It appears TMP
90A1-1 D should be included as well.
2. [Streets] Label each street as "Public" or "Private". It appears all streets are
intended to be public. If private streets are being requested, the applicable
sections of Chapter 14 must be met.
3. [14-302(B)(M)] Street names: Coordinate with E911 reviewer on street names.
Names must be provided for each street.
4. [18-30.7.5] Managed Slopes: It appears there will be disturbance of managed
slopes. Please coordinate with Engineering to meet design standards.
5. [Code of Development] Street Sections:
a. Roads should be labeled based on their ultimate naming designations. For
example, Sheet C4.3 shows Road 3 as traveling along Lots 14-25 in Block
5, and then curving and traveling along Lots 27-34. This will ultimately
need be two different named streets (e.g. Oak Street and Willow Street),
so please label differently for now (e.g. Road 2 and Road 3).
b. For each street, include which Street Section, per the Code of
Development, is being used.
i. A Street Section for `Road 2' is included, however Road 2 does not
seem to be labeled on the Road Plan.
c. Label the 6' planting strip for each road (in the same way the sidewalks
are labeled).
d. Along the southern side of Road 1, include the following COD
requirement: "Future sidewalk and planting strip along the south side of
Road 1 a will be constructed during future phase, per COD requirement."
e. Show and label the required bike lane on the climbing side of Hickory
Street on the road plan layout.
6. Code of Development/Street Sections: Utilities and Landscaping:
a. It appears there may be conflicts with the proposed utilities and some of
the landscaping strips,
specifi� along Road 1.
i. Example: '
7. Code of Development/Street Sections: Parking
a. If any street parking is being provided that is contributing to required
parking spaces, show and label these parallel street parking spaces. If
these spaces are not yet required parking, but will be in the future, these
spaces will need to be labeled with future phases.
b. Note that the street parking spaces shown in some of the street sections
(Sheet C1.1) do not appear to meet County standards. Further comments
will be provided with VDOT and Engineering comments.
8. Code of Development/Open Space: Trails
a. Label "Future Trail connections" in each direction for the trail shown.
b. Label the required trail buffer (minimum of 30').
c. Include a table with the required trail amenity, with the following
information:

i. The LF provided with this plat is an estimate. Please include the
correct calculation.
d. Label provided `Pedestrian Connection Areas' to the trail network.
9. [14-302(A)(4)(5)] Easements: Label all easements on all sheets where they are
shown. For example, the private drainage easements and public drainage
easements are not labeled on the Layout/Utilities sheets.
10. [14-409] Coordination/extension of streets: A "Stub out for future phases" is
shown on Sheet C4.1, where Road is connecting to Hickory Street, however
Hickory Street is existing. Clarify the stub out label, as it does not appear there
should be a stub out in this location.
11. [14-423] Street signs: Signs identifying the name of each street within a
subdivision shall be installed and maintained as provided in chapter 7 of the
Code.
12. [14-428] Dedication of public streets and alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, SWM
facilities, bike trails, and pedestrian trails:
a. The agent shall require a subdivider to dedicate to the county for public
use each public street, including each non -constructed street extension as
provided in section 14-409, and including any required curb, curb and
gutter, planting strip and sidewalk, each drainage improvement for the
public street.
b. Bike and pedestrian trails may also be dedicated to the County for public
use. Clarify if the proposed trail network will be dedicated to public use.
13. [18-32.7.2.3] Crosswalks: Crosswalks should be provided at intersections for
safe pedestrian access.
14. [18-32.7.9.5] Street Trees: Street trees are required every 50 feet for large shade
trees. This requirement is not being met in many locations. Revise the Road Plan
and Subdivision Plat to meet this requirement, and request a waiver in any
locations necessary.
15. [18-32.7.9.5] Street Trees: "Platanus Acerifolia `Columbia"' does not appear to
be on the County's approved plant list. Revise to a tree that is on the approved
list.
16. [18-32.7.9.5] Street Trees and Code of Development: The street trees shown
along the south side of Road 1 are part of a future phase (per the COD). These
trees should be greyed out and labeled "Future street trees along the south side
of Road 1a will be planted during future phase, per COD requirement."
