RE: Response Letter #4 for SUB202000055 Profit Road Townhomes North — Planning
Dear Mariah,
Thank you for your review of the Road Plans for Proft Road Townhomes North. This letter contains
responses to County comments dated October 27, 2020.Our responses are as follows:
1. [ZMA2018-06, 32.7.2.2(d-e)] Extension and coordination of streets. County Code requires all
streets within a development to extend and be constructed to the abutting property lines. To meet
this requirement:
a. Show construction of proposed Road D up to the property line of TMP 32A-2-113 and
secure any off -site construction or grading easements that may be needed to allow the
construction of Road D up to the property line.
OR
b. Provide documentation to demonstrate that the abutting landowner will not grant the
easement, show construction of proposed Road D as close to the abutting property line as
possible, and grant the necessary easement area to allow the future extension/connection
of Road D to this parcel boundary in the future. Note:
The easement plat will need to be submitted, reviewed, approved, and recorded prior to
final site plan approval.
Rev. 1: The comment response letter from the applicant indicates that documentation from the
abutting landowner, consistent with Comment 6b, will be provided to staff. The aforementioned
documentation will be needed before this comment can be resolved. In addition, provide
information to demonstrate that the road is being built as close as possible to the abutting
property line and that a future connection can be built inside the right-of-way on the subject
property. If not, easements outside of the proposed right-of-way may be needed to ensure this
segment of roadway can be built in the future.
Rev. 2: Comment not fully addressed. Thank you for including the letter from Southern States
(the abutting landowner of TMP 32A-2-1B). To satisfy this comment fully, also provide
materials to demonstrate that a future road connection can be made in this area. Materials
should show if easements on the subject property or adjoining parcels are needed to allow the
road connection to be fully constructed.
Acknowledged, grading easement is now provided and dedicated to the county if
future road extension was to occur.

2. Pa kinr
a. [Rev. 1 ] The driveway widths for Lots 23-30 will need to be increased to provide at least
the minimum parking space envelope of 9 feet wide and 18 feet long, as described in Sec.
4.12.16. Rev. 2: Comment satisfied, however, in discussions with the applicant, there
seemed to be a desire for these driveways to be separated from one another. If that is still
the case, consider applying for a special exception under Sec. 4.12.2(c)(2) for the
requirements of Sec. 4.12.16. This is an administrative waiver.
Acknowledged, the driveway widths have been changed back to 16'x18' and
a special exception request is attached with this submission.
3. [Comment] This road plan application is only for the review/approval of improvements in the
right-of-way. All other information and improvements outside of the right-of-way are being
reviewed with site plan application SDP202000028.
Acknowledged.
4. [Rev. 2] On Sheet C3, the proposed road names shown on the plan map differ from those listed in
the break-out notes. Also, the plan map shows two spellings for the entrance road — "Aspin" and
"Aspen". These names are also different from those shown on the subdivision plat. For example,
the subdivision plat labels the entrance road "Zelkova Dr". Clarify the desired name for each
proposed road.
Acknowledged, the road names have been revised with this submission and we have
coordinated with the Plat preparer about the road names.
If you have any questions or concerns about these revisions, please feel free to contact me at
