and all other applicable law. Ip such review the County Engineer may consult the
Soil Conservation Service or other agency deemed appropriate and shall be mindful
of past grading/filling activity in areas proposed for development and of possible
upstream enlargement of drainage facilities.
5. Bike and pedestrian trails should be constructed along open space corridors
(stream beds) or sewer easements. Such construction shall occur with each phase of
development on the open space corridors and sewer easements located within or
immediately adjacent to that pha3e of development; provided that the Planning Commis-
sion may require reasonable exttnsion of such bike/pedestrian trail through other
areas if such extension provides linkage to an existing or approved bike trail.
In addition to such other bike/pedestrian trails as may be proposed by the
developer or required by the Commission, the north-south trail shown on the Applica-
tion Plan shall be constructed to connect to the bike/pedestrian trail in the
Fashion Square Mall and to the proposed Charlottesville trail to the south.

for the maintenance of driveways, open space, and other commonly-owned or common-

purposes and not sold as part of the planned community property referred to herein-
after as the church property) shall not be required to be members of the homeowners'
association; provided that these owners shall be solely responsible for the mainte-
nance of the driveways, open space, etc. located within their respective tracts,
and that such maintenance shall be comparable to that level established in the
homeowners' association agreements for other such uses.
Should commercial development of sale of commercially designated property occur
prior to establishment of homeowners' association agreements, the Planning Commission
may require in the deed restrictions for such property, provisions for the maintenance
of such driveways, open spaces, etc., as the Commission shall deem appropriate for
adequate buffering and protection of residential areas and for the reasonable usage
of such areas by future residents of the planned community.
In respect: to usage, the homeowners' association merrbers shall enjoy the sa..":le
rights and privileges of use of driveways, open space, etc. within commercially
designated areas and the church property as shall be established by homeowners'

In addition to the foregoing, for Areas A, C and 0, portions of the open space
and recreational facilities provided may be reserved for the exclusive use of the
residents of such areas, either in common or individually, subject to Commission
