RE: Response Letter #1 for SUB202000116 Proffit Road Townhomes North — Final Plat
Dear Mariah,
Thank you for your review of the Final Plat for Proffit Road Townhomes North. This letter contains
responses to County comments dated November 2, 2020. Our responses are as follows:
1. [14-401, 14-419] Waivers. To permit the proposed layout of Lots 1-7, special exceptions to the
ordinances' requirements for double frontage lots (14-401) and screening for double frontage lots
(14 419) are needed. Both of these requirements can be excepted by the agent as provided in
section 14-203.1.
Waivers are attached with this submission.
2. [2.2.3] Open space. In order to qualify as a cluster development, a minimum of 25% of the total
land area for Phase 1 needs to be identified, reserved and plated as common open space with this
subdivision plat. Revise the plat (and Note 10) to demonstrate that this requirement is being met.
Open space is now identified on the plat.
3. [14-302(A)(12)] Topography. Provide an exhibitor additional materials to satisfy the topographic
requirements of 14-302(A)(12).
Grading Plan is submitted as exhibit with the plat submittal.
4. [ 14-303(M)] Street names. The proposed road names shown on the plat do not match those
provided with the road plans (SUB202000055). Review the proposed road names such that they
align across all of the applications for this development (subdivision, site plan, road plan).
The road names have been revised once more. The Road Names on the Plat are the
correct ones. We will update the Road Plan to match the plat if GIS approve the
proposed road names on the Plat.
5. [14-302(A)(14), 14-303(E)] Internal road dedication statement. Revise Note 9 to identify streets
by their intended name instead of Road A, B, C, etc. Also, the language of this note currently
calls out either a 49' or 54' width for each road, however, the proposed entrance road for this
property has both a 49' and 54' right-of-way width, in different locations.
Note 9 has been revised to road names instead of road A, B, C & D.
6. [ZMA201900010, 14-302(A)(14)] Land to be dedicated. Include a note on the plat that "hereby
dedicates" the right-of-way reservation along Proffit Rd to the County.
This is stated in Note 11 on Sheet 1.

7. [14-317] Maintenance instrument. Provide a maintenance instrument(s) evidencing maintenance
of the open space areas and stormwater/drainage facilities and easements.
This is attached with this submission. If you have questions please contact Nicole
Scro @ nscro@gallifreyenterprises.com
8. [14-302(B)] Zoning. Revise Note A to:
a. Include that the subject parcel also lies within the Airport Impact Area (AIA) overlay district
Note A now includes that the subject parcel also lies within the Airport Impact
Area (AIA) overlay district.
b. Update the rezoning reference to ZNIA201900010
Note A now references the ZMA201900010.
c. State that the property is subject to the proffers associated with ZMA201900010
Note A now states that the property is subject to the proffers associated with
ZMA201900010.
9. [14-302(B)(8), 4.19] Yards.
a. Amend the side minimum to state a 511 minimum from the right-of-way (unless the building
shares a common wall), per 4.19.
The side minimum yard has been amended as necessary. Please see note E.
b.Provide the building separation information as its own line item.
Building separation information is now its own line.
c. Revise the maximum building height to " 45' or 4 stories, whichever is less", to align with the
proffered application plan of ZMA201900010.
The maximum building height has been revised accordingly.
10. [14-303(S)] Control points. If not already provided, include at least (4) control points, evenly
distributed across the property per 14-303(S).
There are 4 control points provided. Please see Sheet 2 & 3.
11. [14-302(A)(7)] Abutting lots. Label abutting parcel TMP 32-36G.
The abutting parcel TMP 32-36G is now labeled. Please see Sheet 2.
12. [14-302(B)(1)] Resubmission. Reminder that revised plats must include the original date of
drawing and the revision date(s) of each subsequent version of the plat.
