Below is a comment response letter on how the conditions of the initial site plan approval have been addressed with the final site
plan.
Planning Comments:
1. The plats as referenced have not yet been recorded and the information has not yet been updated on the County GIS. This
information will be updated once the plats are recorded and the new TMP numbers issued.
2. As discussed in the Brookhill Friday meeting after the staff developer and during the discussions about the location of the
pool, the recreational and meeting areas will be developed as part of these blocks, but do not need to be installed,
designed, or platted with Block 1A. A design was shared with staff on the locations of these amenities and open space
areas, and more information is forthcoming as the rest of Block 1 is being developed.
3. As discussed, the overall recreational requirements for Brookhill are met per the Code of Development, which outlines the
location and installation of the recreational amenities.
4. The affordability requirements have been added to the cover sheet. This is the same method as stated on the Block 8B final
site plan for the development of that block.
5. The application plan has been updated to use the approved plan.
6. The zoning note has been updated to remove the managed and steep slope overlay district, and flood hazard overlay
district, as requested.
7. The note on the cover sheet has been revised to state Block 1 and not Block 8.
8. The setbacks have been updated on the cover sheet in accordance with the Code of Development, as requested.
9. The property line has been adjusted to include the required guest parking spaces for this project. See the layout sheet for
the updated limits of the property and which spaces are included with the project. The remaining parking areas (not
located within the limits of the property) are hatched out on this site plan and will not be utilized until additional sections of
Block 1 are developed.
10. The corner setback has been labeled on the Layout sheet, as requested.
11. The labels and the overall parking requirements and provided parking have been updated, per the changes to the plan.
12. The Block area summary has been updated per the Block 9-11 most recent initial site plan. This includes the updates from
Block 8B and 8A.
13. The Deed book and page references have been added to the existing conditions sheet for the plats that have been
approved. The other plats are currently pending, and the record information will be added, once the plats are approved.
14. The approved conditions for SP201500025 have been added to the plans.
15. The parking calculations have been updated, as requested. They now match the parking calculations for Block 8B as well.
16. The proposed drainage and utility easements are shown on the grading and utilities sheet.
17. The utility labels have been updated to label the utility lines as proposed and note under which plan the utility is being
installed. This way, there is a distinction between the utilities that are being approved with this plan, and the utilities that
are already approved but not yet constructed under other site plans.
18. The labels have been updated to reference the detail and location of the detail on the layout sheet.
19. The bike racks will be part of the overall Block 1 town center development; however, they will not be part of this portion of
Block 1 (within the Block 1A parcel). Bike racks are really not necessary for Block 1A, as each unit has a garage, and the
bikes will be stored in the garage. Bike racks will be positioned near the town center commercial uses, amenities, gathering
and open space areas, offices, fitness areas, and near the 3 and 4 story apartment buildings that do not have garage units
for each of the apartment units. These areas are currently being planned, and bike racks will certainly be included with the
development plans for these areas.
20. The final site plan includes a landscaping plan for the development.
21. The landscaping schedule for this project has been included with the final site plan.
22. Shrubs have been added to the landscaping plan to screen the parking lot from Archer Drive.
23. The landscaping calculations have been added to the site plan. The landscaping has been updated accordingly.
24. The landscaping note has been added to the final site plan, as requested.
25. The landscaping note has been added to the final site plan, as requested.
26. The signature panel has been updated, as requested.
27. The easements have been added to the plan, as required. The easements match the easements that were platted with the
Block 8B development.
28. No additional exterior lighting is proposed with the plans at this time, other than the porch lights as noted on the cover
sheet. The note on the cover sheet has been updated to match the note from the Block 8B site plans.

1. A WPO Plan satisfying VSMP requirements is under review for this final site plan, see SWM note on the cover sheet.
2. The road plan for Salamander Street shall be approved and bonded prior to final site plan approval.

required prior to service being established.
4. The applicant acknowledges that master meter connection fees will be required.
ARB:
1. The applicant acknowledges that no ARB review is required.
Fire/Rescue:
1. The private alleyway is now 26' wide for fire and rescue access.
2. A temporary 48' radius emergency apparatus turn around shall be constructed until the alley is extended.
3. The two fire department connections are now shown on the utility plans and are both in very close proximity to the
existing fire hydrant.

landscaping sheet.
3. The applicant acknowledges this requirement.
