Subject:
Brookhill — Sections 9, 10 & I I - ISP (SDP202000009)
The initial site plan for Brookhill — Sections 9-11 has been reviewed by Engineering. The following
comments will need to be addressed before approval:
1. WPO Plan must be approved before final site plan can be approved.
2. Road Plan must be approved before final site plan can be approved.
3. Ensure the accurate FEMA 100 year floodplain is shown. The ZMA appeared to show the
500 year. Also, Note I on Sheet 6 says no floodplain exists on site, however, a floodplain
is shown. Please clarify and correct.
4. Note that per the code of development, Page 23, the maximum retaining wall height is six
feet. Some of these are exactly 6 ft. If constructed over 6 ft, that will be a violation.
5. Preserved slopes can only be disturbed as shown on the ZMA. Retaining walls and
grading throughout this site are too close to preserved slopes. Please keep grading ideally
5 ft away from preserved slopes so that construction can actually occur without
disturbance. Lots 73-77 are one example.
6. Per 2.4.2, Buffers, in the code of development, buffers shall not be located within any
private lot. Part of the Route 29 buffer is shown on lots.
7. Please show all easements, such as forest & open space easement.
8. Retaining walls that cross private lots will need to be in easements and will need
maintenance agreements.
9. Storm profiles and calculations will be necessary. Please show (or provide note stating)
where roof drains will tie in to storm drains.
10. Please label, "proposed greenway", not 100 ft. stream buffer on all applicable sheets.
11. The cover sheet references "phasing". Please clarify how this plan would be phased and
how it would be feasible (with utilities, etc).
