Comments to be address prior to final site plan/plat approval:
1. [ZMA201500007] Page 22 of the COD requires a civic space to be provided in either Blocks 16, 17, or 18. Please
indicate whether this will be provided in Blocks 16 or 17. If so, show the civic space on the plan and identify it's
features as required by the COD.
2. [ZMA201500007] The Application Plan shows a 10' multi -use path extending along the block frontage along Polo
Grounds Road and connecting into Montgomery Ridge. Please address the following:
a. Show the multi -use path along the frontage and indicate its surface materials.
b. Please indicate whether the developer has reached an agreement with the Montgomery Ridge HOA
regarding extending the path onto their property (TMP 046DO-00-00-000AO). If so, please show the
multi -use path on the plans (site plan and road plans for these blocks).
[ZMA201500007] On -street parking spaces are required along one side of each street in Blocks 16 and 17. No on -
street parking is currently shown on the road plans as required by Figure 8 - Neighborhood Street Cross Section
from page 25 of COD. Please revise the site plan to indicate whether those spaces will be striped.
4. [32.5.2 (o) and ZMA201500007] Prior to final site plan approval, please be sure to update the Block Area
Summary table on Sheet 3 so that all figures are accurate based on approvals for other blocks in Brookhill. Some
of the figures may change since multiple site plans and plats are under review for other blocks. These may be
approved prior to final site plan approval for Blocks 16 & 17.
a. Please revise the table so that it states the acreages of each attribute that were approved on the
plats/plans for Blocks 16, 17, 18 and Block 1B.
b. Update the drawing so that it states the applicable application numbers that have been approved for initial
site plans and preliminary plats in blocks 16, 17, 18, and 1B.
c. Ensure that all parcel boundaries, owner names, TMP numbers, acreages, and recorded instrument
numbers are added to the drawings for all parcels visible on the final site plan/final plat.
5. [ZMA201500007] The parking spaces/driveways do not appear to meet the relegated parking requirement
specified on page 27 of the COD. Front loading garages must be located a minimum of 3' behind the front building
face of the house or porch. Please revise.
6. [32.5.2 (a)] Please update the proposed density note on Sheet 1. The note currently only states the number of
units proposed in each block. But it does not calculate the density per acre based on the block acreage and
number of units proposed.
7. [32.5.2 (a)] Please amend the watershed note on Sheet 1 to state whether that is a water supply watershed.
8. [32.5.2 (a)] Prior to final site plan and plat approval, please revise the Existing Conditions and all other applicable
drawings where adjacent properties are visible. The correct property lines, TMP numbers, acreages, and recorded
instrument numbers should be stated. Multiple plats are currently under review which may change any of these
attributes prior to final site plan/plat approval.
9. [32.5.2 (a)] Please add a note to Sheet 1 titled "Block Classification' with "Neighborhood Density Residential" as
the block type for Blocks 16 & 17, as stipulated by the Brookhill Code of Development.

easement type and dimensions.
14. [32.5.2 (n)] Please state the proposed surface materials for all parking lots, travel ways, walkways, etc. in a label on
the site plan drawings.
15. [32.5.2 (n)] See Engineering comments regarding retaining walls and address the following:
