Subject: 11t Revision Comments for ZMA201900009 I River's Edge South
The following comments are provided regarding the above noted application:
1. Creation of PRD district: The River's Edge South ZMA proposal relies on TMPs 32-5A
and 32-5A1 for fulfillment of open space and recreational area requirements, and refers
to all three parcels as part of the same development, but the ZMA for those two TMPs
has not yet been approved, and the three parcels are under two different ownerships.
Under County Code Section 18-8.3, a planned development must be under unified
control and planned and developed as a whole.
The parcels containing the open space and recreational area requirements must be
included within this application, under unified control, and developed in conjunction with
this application. They may be developed in a separate phase, but they must be
completed before 50% of the units have received certificates of occupancy.
2. Recreational areas required: Comment 13 noted that no tot lots were shown on the
parcel. The applicant's response noted that recreational area was intended to be shared
between all three TMPs, 31-5A, 32-5A1, and 32-22K1. However, a stream and steep
terrain separates TMP 32-22K1 from the other TMPs. As the purpose of a tot lot is to
provide safe and convenient recreational area for small children, a separation of steep
terrain and a stream will not serve that purpose adequately.
3. The applicant's comments refer repeatedly to "correct boundaries." Provide a survey
with these correct boundaries, as performed by a surveyor.
