RE: Response Letter #2 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 March 17, 2021.Our responses are as follows:
1. [14-302(A)(12)] Topography. Provide an exhibit or additional materials to satisfy the topographic
requirements of 14- 302(A)(12). Rev. 1: Comment not yet satisfied. The exhibit will need to
include the source of topography, including survey date and name of the licensed
professional; or a statement that topography data provided by the County was used. Please
revise accordingly. Also, one of the purposes of this exhibit is to document where steep
slopes exist on the property. The existing managed steep slopes areas are currently difficult
to discern on the exhibit provided. Can these aspects be represented more clearly? Note:
Since this exhibit was recently received (3/15/2021), additional comments may be
forthcoming from Engineering.
A grading Exhibit is attached with this submission and it includes the requirements in
section 14-302(A)(12).
2. [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). Rev.
1: Comment remains since road names are still being finalized. The E911 reviewer has
indicated that at least one of the proposed road names will need to be changed.
Street names match the Road Plan with this revision.
3. [ 14-317] Maintenance instrument. Provide a maintenance instrument(s) evidencing maintenance
of the open space areas and stormwater/drainage facilities and easements. Rev. 1: As is the
County's typical practice, maintenance declarations will not be forwarded to the County
Attorney's Office until the plat is closer to finalization. With the next submission, please fill
in and submit the attached maintenance instrument cover sheet to indicate where (e.g. page,
paragraph) maintenance of certain improvements is addressed within the document
provided.
A revised maintenance declaration draft is attached with this submission.
A hard copy of The Deed of Dedication and Easement for "Swm Forest/Open Space
Easement" and "Swm Facility Easement" was dropped off to the county on 04/12/2021
A hard copy of The Deed of Dedication and Easement for "Public Drainage Easement" and
"10' Public Drainage Easement" was dropped off to the county on 04/12/2021
The checklist that you provided me with is attached with this submission for the
maintenance declaration. We didn't provide this checklist for the deed of dedication since
the checklist is only for private improvement maintenance instrument and the deed of
dedications are public.

detached units, except on Lots 1-7.

7. [14-409] Temporary construction easements. Without seeing a road design exhibit for the future
extension of Beechtree Terrace to the abutting property line shared with TMP 32A-2- 18,
temporary construction easements may also be needed. If so, it may be helpful to plat those
easements with this final plat.
This comment has been satisfied by providing an exhibit via email when addressing the
comments for the Road Plan.
8. [Comment] Centralized mail delivery. Will there be an easement for the proposed centralized
mailbox area, or will this amenity be placed in a common open space area?
An easement is provided with this Plat submission for the centralized mail delivery Please
see Sheet 2 of the Plat.
9. [Comment] Fee. There is an outstanding balance of $215 on this application that will need paid
prior to final plat approval. This fee represents a flat fee applied to the mailing and preparing of
SRC notices.
The payment has been made.
10. [Advisory Comment] If Open Space D is developed into additional residential lots in the future,
the future plat will need to demonstrate that sufficient open space will be platted and/or remain
platted to satisfy the minimum open space required by this plat (I.78ac open space), as well as any
additional open space requirements that may need to be met by the future plat.
