From our conversation please find our justification as to why we can't meet the secondary access request pursuant to the proposed application plan. • To the north and east, we have an existing stream. We currently have predefined impacts granted by the US Army Corp of Engineers. Any more would exceed our permit status. • We have topography challenges to the west, north and east. To the west, a retaining wall prevents any access. To the north and east, slopes down to the existing stream. To the south, a VDOT/private stormwater detention facility. • We have established open space requirements that must remain as part of Phase 1. These are located to the north along the stream and to the east. • Finally, we have 36 families who are concerned with the increased traffic that would be associated with the proposed apartment program in Phase 2. They are relieved to see that the previous Shannon Glen Court extension has been removed. For simplicity, I've attached a graphic that illustrates these challenges we are faced in order to provide that secondary fire access. I hope this helps you determine that the secondary fire access is no longer needed and any emergency response calls can be handled in the Phase 1 by the existing entrance connection from Towncenter Drive. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, <2ut..
