2. [14-302 (A)(4),14-302 (A)(5), and 14-303 (L)] Please show all existing easements and state their recorded
instrument number. This comment has been addressed.
3. [14-302 (A)(4)] Per the approved landscaping plan on the final site plan, a 20' private landscaping easement
is required on lots 16-23. The easements have not been created yet, but are required because these are
double frontage lots. Please show the easement on the plat, label it with dimensions, and state who will
maintain required landscaping within the easement as a note. See comment #6 below for further information.
This comment has been addressed.
4. [14-302 (A)(4), 14-302 (A)(5), and 14-303 (L)] Please update all easement labels so all easements are
labeled as existing. For example, the sewer easement to be vacated was already vacated and recorded in DB
5427 page 181. This comment has been addressed.
5. [4.11.1 and 4.11.21 Please revise Note 12. Architectural features and accessory structures are permitted no
closer than 5 feet to any side lot line and 6 feet to any rear lot line. `Bear" is missing. Include rear prior

6. [14-317] Please provide a set of Homeowners Association covenants that specify ownership and
maintenance responsibilities for all required private improvements. This includes private street right-of-
way, private landscaping easements on residential lots, open space and tot lot ownership/maintenance, etc.

1. 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1) Withdrawn.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.
2. 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.
[Image removed with Rev. 2 comments.]
Eliminate all proposed private access easement in commercial parking lot (TMP# 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 IMP #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
IMP 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. (Rev. 2) Addressed
via plat sheet VI Note 24.

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,

4. Recommend C3 label (graphic portion of plat) include parenthetical total: CYT) 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 C11: 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 skeet access
established by plat at deed bk.-pg. 5427-181, specifically, plat at bk.-pg. 5427-193.

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.

10. Compare V4 proposed new 20' ACSA water easement with Approved SDP201800087 deed bk-pg,
reference to Ex. 20' ACSA water easement (DB 5427 PG 181). Avoid proposed (duplicate) creation of
ACSA (or any) easement with this final subdivision plat, if a proposed easement already exists. Carefully
review instrument at deed bk.-pg. 5427-181, and revise final plat accordingly. Review Approved final site
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.
(Rev. 2) Withdrawn. Engineering recommendation not accepted. Applicant response (letter d. 3/29/21):
`All shown existing easements are per DB 5427 PG 181 and approved site plan. New easements shown to
the same standards as prior approved easement plat at DB 5427 PG 181.'
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' rip 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.
