Dear Megan,
Thank you for your review of the initial site plan for Proffit Road Townhomes South. This letter contains
responses to County comments dated December I r 2019. Our responses are as follows:
1. The front maximum setback is listed incorrectly on the cover sheet. The maximum front setback
for RI is 25 feet. Revise_
The front maximum setback has been fixed.
2. List the building separation requirement of 10 feet.
The minimum building separation is now listed under the setbacks section.
3. The Land Use schedule needs a number of revisions:
a. The open space listed on one location state 51,717 sf, then is listed as 7,000 sf below.
Open space has a definition and it's unclear if there are elements being counted as open
space that are permitted as open space under the definition.
Comment received. This has been clarified to distinguish between open space and
recreation area provided for the site.
b. The percentages and square feet calculations don't seem Douhlc check the
math. The amounts provided do not seem to add up
Comment received. The land use schedule has been adjusted to remove the
impervious total for clarification.
4. The number of parking spaces listed does not meet the requirements of the ordinance. 2.25 spaces
are required for each unit, which Is 90 total required spaces. Revise to meet the requirements.
RESPONSE: While the exact number of units with garages has not been determined, the
total 90 required spaces will be reached with a mix of driveway parking, off-street parking,
and unit garages.
5. Label the area between the emergency access and the main entrance. Will this be open space?
Yes, this area will be open space. Please see the site plan for the labeling.
