A number of these comments can be taken care of with updates to this plat now that the Village 1 plat has received final approval and been recorded. Also, there are some areas where consistency with the final site plan for these blocks is an issue. Subdivision Ordinance Comments: 1. [14-302(A)(4)(5)]; [14-317]; [14-303(L)] Easements: a. Confirm that all easements are shown on the plat that were shown on the site plan and road plans. It appears that some from the plat. There are private drainage easements, stormwater management easements, and an emergency access, as examples, that are not being shown. Please cross reference all the easements shown on prior approved plans with what is being proposed on this plat. All easements need to be platted and dimensions of the easements need to be shown. b. The public drainage easements require a deed of dedication to the County. County Attorneys Office approval is needed. c. Coordinate with Engineering on the SWM easements and deeds. Reference [14- 431]. d. There was pedestrian access shown between lots 71 and 72 that is not being shown on this plat. Again, please cross reference the plat with the approved site plan. 2. [14-302(A)(14)] Land to be dedicated in fee orreserved. Include the location, acreage, and owner of all land to be dedicated to the public or reserved in a deed for the residents of this development. This includes required open space, and any land that may be being dedicated to the County. Clarify if any land or easement is being dedicated for public use. Open space is required, I know there was concern about this. Open space was platted with the Village 1 plat. The open space contains required Amenities and Greenspace to meet NMD zoning requirements. The definition in the the subdivision ordinance is more an "umbrella" term. As NMD the NMD regulations would apply, not other open space requirements in the zoning ordinance. Open space. The term "open space" means an area containing water or land or a combination thereof that is unoccupied by building lots or streets, and which may be vegetated, developed with amenities or utilities, or left in an undisturbed state. 3. [14-303(G)] Ownership of common areas. Update Note 12 for consistency with the subdivision ordinance: N. Statement pertaining to private improvements. If the subdivision will contain one or more private improvements, as defined in section 14-106, the following statement: "Unless specifically denoted as public, the streets and other required improvements in this subdivision are private in nature and will not be maintained by either the Virginia Department of Transportation or any other public agency. The maintenance thereof is the mutual obligation of the affected lot owners. Failure to maintain the improvements in substantially the same condition as originally approved by the County may constitute a violation of County ordinance(s)." 4. [14-307.1] Show the limits of the dam break inundation zone on the plat, if applicable or provided note its not within a dam break inundation zone. 5. [14-411] Hickory Street has been dedicated to public use. Label ROW widths and reference instrument number for Village 1 plat. 6. [18-30.7] Label and show any preserved slopes on the plat. Code of Development Comments: 7. [Code of Development]: Trails and Required Amenities/Open Space a. The requirements are included on Page 15 of the COD. Note that both the required amount (sq. ft. or acreage) and type (e.g. neighborhood park) must be included in the table and labeled/shown on the plat. An exhibit may also be provided, as a supplemental document that demonstrates compliance with the COD and consistency with the final site plan. b. Confirm all trail easements are consistent with the COD and the final site plan for these blocks.
