(The following comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.): [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified. General Comments 1. [14-302(A)(3)] Ensure street names/spelling match on all sheets. Rev1: Comment addressed 2. [14-302(A)(5)] Provide a deed of easement for the public access easements and public drainage easements for county review and signature. Rev1: Do the previously recorded deeds also cover this parcel? If so, please confirm and provide DB & PG. 3. [14-317] Provide supplemental declaration to the covenants and restrictions for any easements to be maintained by the HOA for review and approval by the County Attorney. Rev1: Does the previously recorded HOA agreement also cover this parcel? If so, please confirm and provide DB & PG. 4. [18-13.4.1] Density information is confusing/redundant. Please simplify. Provide the following: a. General Development Area density calculation – show once b. General Rural Area density – show once c. Density Table: lots and acreage per phase; cumulative units, cumulative acreage, cumulative density. d. Open Space Table: Open space acreages, cumulative open space acreage and cumulative percentage; acreage and percentage of open space within flood plain. Rev1: Comment partially addressed. The tables at the bottom of the sheet are providing conflicting and out of date information. Please retain reference to the tree preservation exhibit (note F) but reference the phase 3 exhibit provided with this plat and provide updated acreages/percentages. Other information contained in the tables can be deleted. 5. Can open space lots be joined with open space in previous phases? If so, combine the following and revise boundary lines accordingly: a. Common Open Space 1-III and Common Open Space 1 b. Common Open Space 1F and 1B c. Common Open Space 1C and 1G Rev1: Comment addressed. 6. [18-13.4.1] Provide an exhibit demonstrating that all tree preservation areas meet the definition of a wooded area from Section 3.1 of the zoning ordinance. Please note the following: a. Show floodplain with the tree preservation areas, as they cannot overlap. b. From the easement plat, it appears that parts of these tree preservation areas are 5-feet wide. The shape and area of the tree preservation areas on lots 82, 83, 84, 85 and OS 3 are not conducive to tree preservation. For lot 84, the preservation area appears to be close to the potential building site. c. On lots 75, 76, 77 and 78 – it appears the tree preservation area overlaps with the existing Virginia Power Easement. This easement likely allows the power company the ability to remove any vegetation from their easement. Consequently, the tree preservation area cannot exist in this area. Reevaluate location of tree areas. Rev1: Comment partially addressed. Are HME VAR easements shown on sheet 5 intended to preserve other features besides trees? Please clarify. The tree preservation exhibit does not indicate tree preservation areas on any lots except lot 84. Also clarify what hatching on sheet 2 is intended to represent. Please label or include legend on this sheet. 7. [14-303] Show the Comp Plan Development Area boundary. Please note, the boundary has changed since the time of the approval for the preliminary plat for this project. Consult GIS Web to see new location. Update density calculations accordingly.

Revise note, show side SBL on plat. 10. Note 18 – reference deed book and page number for open spaces 1D & 1E Rev1: Phase 2A plat is approved. If this have been recorded, please update db & pg. Sheet 2 – Overall Exhibit [14-303 & Sec. 14-302 (B)] 11. The Area tabulations reference the wrong TMP numbers 12. The Area tabulations misname the parcels, compared to the plat Sheet 4 – Subdivision Plat 13. Show SBL on plat Rev1: Comment addressed New Comment: Provide evidence that all lots have a building site – please show slopes, tree preservation/HME easements, setbacks, stream buffer all on one sheet to demonstrate buildable area. This can be done on plat or a separate exhibit. Sheet 5 – Miscellaneous Easement Plat 14. Above the label “Common Open Space 1-III,” there is a line with the label “TE-X N.” This is not identified in the legend on Page 11. Please clarify. 15. For lots 79 is there not enough room for a standard setback line? 16. For lot 74, it appears the front setback line could be closer to the street. Rev1: Comments addressed Sheet 6 – Miscellaneous Easement Plat 17. The hatching at the ingress/egress does not appear to match the legend on Page 11.
