(The following comments are those that have been identified at this time. Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.) 1. Provide on the cover sheet the application number assigned to this plan: SUB2022-00133. 2. Include on the cover sheet all parcels that are included in this plan. With 9.69 acres of disturbance, there are more parcels included than just the one listed (55E-01-26-0). At a minimum, it appears that TMP 55E-01-6B-0 is also part of this proposal. 3. Revise the Overlay Districts note on the cover sheet. The parcels included in this plan are located within both the Entrance Corridor Overlay District and the Managed Steep Slopes overlay district. 4. Sidewalks must be provided on both sides of Road A. No special exception has been approved allowing sidewalks to be provided on only one side of the road. 5. Planting strips must be provided on both sides of Road A. No special exception has been approved waiving the planting strip requirements along this road. 6. The sidewalk along Golf Drive needs to be eight feet in width (see page 8 of the COD). 7. Each of Road Band Road C needs to be labelled as a "Private Alley." 8. Road A needs to be labelled as a "Private Street," as it is providing frontage to Lots 1-26. 9. Orion Lane needs to be labelled as a "public street." 10. The sidewalk along Road A, in front of Lots 13-26, must be located within the right-of-way, not within the individual lots. All sidewalks and planting strips must be located within the rights -of -way. 11. Provide dimensions for the on -street parking spaces along Road A. 12. Revise the landscaping plan: a. Street trees are calculated inclusively, so there needs to be +1 tree added to each side of each street requiring trees. The first tree is planted at 0 feet, and then every 50 feet from that. b. The street tree calculations also need to include Golf Drive, Addle Hill Road, Ashlar Avenue, and Road A. c. Existing trees in existing planting strips may be able to count for required street trees, depending on their species and size; however, those trees need to be identified and included in the calculations. d. The street trees need to be more evenly distributed along each side of the streets, as well as more evenly spaced along the length of each street. (For example, street trees need to be provided along the Golf Drive side of Lot 44, the Addle Hill Road side of Lot 1, all along both sides of Road A, and on the Orion Lane sides of Lots 12, 26, and 39.) e. Street trees need to be located within planting strips, not within private lots. The trees in front of lots 40- 44 are not in the planting strip. 13. Advisory Comment: Although density calculations will be reviewed with the site plan (not the road plans), the density calculations shown on the cover sheet of this road plan do not appear to be correct. This development includes more than 5.21 acres, since a portion of the adjacent parcel is included. Revise the density calculations to accurately reflect all property included in this plan.
