Subject: Review Comments for ZMA2019-00004 Breezy Hill
The following comments are provided as input from the Zoning Division regarding the above -noted application.
1. General Development Plan
a. Retitle the plan to BREEZY HILL REZONING CONCEPT PLAN
b. The front page references GREE SPACE as stream buffer, floodplain, preserved steep slopes,
open space, and recreation areas.
• Is the recreation areas, the pocket park and trails? If so, describe it as such or list
pocket park and trails specifically.
c. As pages 3 and 4 appear to be the pages that will be relied on as the concept plan they should
be identical when it comes to the areas that are the green space per the description on Page 1.
The physical area appears to be the same, but the references on both pages are mixed. Page
3 shows open space, pocket parks and trails, and Page 4 shows does not reference the pocket
park.
d. On sheet 3 in the legend there is reference to the Blocks sizes as being approximate and being
allowed to be varied by up to 15%. 15% of what? I do not believe we are able to calculate 15%
of an approximate size that has not even been listed.
e. There does not appear to be an actual Block Boundary shown on Sheet 4 of 5 even though the
key references one.
2. Proffers
a. Proffer #1 should be titled Concept Plan and should be worded as follows: The Property shall
be developed in general accord with the plans titled "Breezy Hill Rezoning Concept Plan (the
Zoning Review Comments for ZMA201900004
"concept plan"), prepared by , dated , and last revised and
shall reflect the following major elements as shown and noted on the plans:
. ???
. ???
• Etc.
b. For b) The plan shows the Emergency access with a note EMERGENCY ACCESS ONLY (TO
OPEN PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF THE 31ST BUILDING PERMIT) Suggested revision
"Emergency vehicle access point at Running Deer Drive; the access is to be installed prior to
the issuance of the 31st building permit.
• Will there be a commitment to not use the emergency vehicle access as a construction
entrance? If so, incorporate that into this portion of the proffer.
c. For c) Make sure the language on the plan reflects this language so that it is clear when review
of development occurs.
d. For d) Road Typologies - what does this mean, Is this the "Typical Section" on sheet 1? If so,
specify, so there does not have to be an interpretation of what a typology means.
e. For f) Clarify what trail, multi -use path and pedestrian path typologies mean. Is this the trail
specification note on sheet 1 or is there more? If so, specify, so there does not have to be an
interpretation of what a typology means.
f. For g) Does buffer mean stream buffer? If so, revise to say stream buffer
g. For h) The plan should reference the density in units per acre. The plan only notes the total
number of lots.
