closer than 5 feet to any side lot line and 6 feet to any rear lot line. "Rear" is missing. Include rear prior

No Objection to subdivision plat, however, need to consider at site plan phase of project the following:
1. The road right of way widths indicated on the plat appear appropriate to accommodate emergency
vehicle access, which requires 20 ft, unobstructed travelway (face of curb to face of curb or edge of
pavement to edge of pavement according to design), or if buildings are taller than 30 ft 26 It travelway
to accommodate aerial apparatus however, does not provide adequate width to accommodate on street
parking.
2. To ensure that parking does not restrict the emergency apparatus travelway as described above, no
parking signs are required in appropriate areas.
3. Any dead-end longer than 150 It will require an approved turn around for emergency apparatus.
4. Will need to note on the site plan the required ISO fire calculation for the buildings.
5. Will need to indicate on the site plan the latest ACSW flow test to ensure adequate fire flow per
calculation of # 3 comment.
6. Hydrants need to provided and indicated on site plan with a spacing as prescribed by the calculations of
comments # 4 and # 5.

For sections of private access easement along Landon Lane (that include perpendicular parking) and along
Lois Lane (that include perpendicular parking) where width is non -variable, label access easement width
(60' private access easement, for example). Final plat must provide easement widths, if fixed, wherever
possible. Remaining sections of variable -width private access easements may remain labeled as is. (Rev.
1) Withdrawn. See item 7, below.
30' existing access (DB 2775 PG 734, image, below) is sufficient access for fire /rescue vehicles to transit
commercial parking lot (via 30' Ex. easement) to reach bollard -blocked emergency access to Landon Lane.

Eliminate all proposed private access easement in commercial parking lot (TMP4 46B4-7B) unless
specifically required by final site plan, but do not vacate existing 30' access easement at bk.-pg. 2775-734.
While eliminating extraneous areas, please see review item 7. that requests new private access easement

over the full length of Lois Lane, from its intersection with Landon Lane (private access easement) to
intersection with public right-of-way at Timberwood Boulevard. [ eliminate blue diagonal access easement
shading on TMP #46B4-7B ] (Rev. 1) Persists. Comment revised. 2/25/21, Engineering and RGA
discussed access that may appear to exist for private vehicles to transit directly between TMP 46B4-7B and
Landon Lane. This comment clarifies possible misunderstanding: Plat must make explicitly clear that no
private access exists via emergency access. Only public emergency fire/rescue vehicles may transit directly
between TMP 46B4-7B and Landon Lane. At this point, emergency access is controlled via bollards
/keyed access. This access point is closed to residents and all others. No linework or Notes on subdivision
plat clarify this limiting circumstance. Engineering revises comment to request Applicant place Note on
plat (label insufficient) that reads: `Direct private access via bollard -controlled emergency access between
TMP 46B4-7B and Landon Lane does not exist. Access is discontinuous for private use at bollards. Right
of access is reserved to public (County or Commonwealth of Virginia) emergency or fire -rescue vehicles.
Entry to others via emergency access is prohibited.' Applicant is welcome to propose alternative language
that effects this meaning, i.e.: Right of private access thru bollard section designed as emergency access to
Timberwood Square between TMP 46B4-7B and TMP 46B4-7 (at Landon Lane) is not established by deed
or prior -recorded plat. Access at this point is closed to all but local /state emergency vehicles. Private or
commercial vehicular access to Landon Lane is by way of Lois Lane, a private street providing connection
between Landon Lane, a private street, and Timberwood Boulevard, a public street.

3. Revise shading to eliminate new private access easement shown to overlap existing 30' access easement on
TMP # 46B4-7, which is duplicative and may suggest owners of units at Timberwood Square may use an
emergency access as alternate means of accessing the subdivision, they may not. Private (property owner)
access via emergency access is not established with this plat, while existing 30' access easement provides
sufficient right of entry for emergency secondary access to subdivision. Please see blue diagonal hatching,
below, and remove new access wherever shading overlaps existing 30' access easement at bk.-pg 2775-734,
(Rev. 1) Revised at item 2, above: request for VI Note (Note 24) to clarify Emergency Access Point.

4. Recommend C3 label (graphic portion of plat) include parenthetical total: C3(T) so that readers may more
readily understand C3 is a series of arcs, and more readily identify where C3 ends and line segments begin.
(Rev. 1) Addressed.
5. Boundary curve C 11: Add text label `L=' at 7.58' arc. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
6. Revise labels for Landon and Lois Lane that reference private street R/W to reference private access
easement. Right-of-way is typically reserved for use with public roads. (Rev. 1) Withdrawn; see item 7.
7. Provide private access easement centered on Lois Lane CL that extends from Lot 25, where proposed
private street R/W is shown to terminate at line segment bearing 37°28'25" (24.08'), to Timberwood Blvd.
[ approximate location of blue lines, image below ] (Rev. 1) Withdrawn. Ref. private street access

8. Provide deed book -page ref, for Timberwood Boulevard. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
9. Where perpendicular on -street parking is provided, widen proposed private access easement on V3 to
match easement shown on V2. Replicate V2 private access easement on V3 using dash or hatching,
preferably line -type (hatching) that matches V2. Delete V3 variable width private street R/W labels. V2
establishes new variable width private access easement. Please ensure V2-V3 horizontal extents of private
access easement match. V2 appears to show full extent of variable width private access easements,
including perpendicular parking on Landon and Lois Lanes. (Rev. 1) Withdrawn. With easement plat at
bk.-pg. 5427-181 (V6 at bk.-pg. 5427-193), response to subdivision plat review comment is not possible.

plan, SDP201800087 with care, and revise final plat to match. (Rev. 1) Partially addressed. Engineering
defers to ACSA, but dimensionless depth of New 10' ACSA Water Easement (Typ.) provides no clear
guidance to future lot owners. Engineering recommends dimension depth of ACSA easement into lots.
11. Similarly, compare V4 new 20' ACSA sewer easement with SDP201800087 sheet 5 ref to existing 20'
ACSA sanitary sewer easement (DB 5427 PG 181). Only non -existing easements need be proposed with
SUB202100005, Timberwood Square final plat. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
12. Final subdivision plat should identify all existing easements: sight line, access, landscape, ACSA, private
/public drainage, SWM facility, etc. accurately, with care. Approved SDP201800087 is reliable reference,
which itself makes reference to multiple existing easements recorded at multiple locations, for example:
BK-PG 5427-181, 5230-298 (plat), 5230-291 (deed), and elsewhere. (Rev. 1) Addressed.
13. V5: Revise new 20' drainage easement labels to read new 20' riu vate drainage easements, consistent with
SDP201800087, sheet 9, 10. (Rev. 1) NA. No new public /private drainage proposed with subdivision plat.
Multiple drainage /SWM easements are recorded, no new drainage or SWM-related easements are
proposed with this final subdivision plat.
