Re: SUB202100150 Brookhill Blocks 16 & 17 Final Plat - Review Comments
Dear Cameron,
We received your comments regarding the project above dated November 23, 2022 and offer the following
responses.
4. The chart on sheet 3 does not have any of the "proposed" totals. Revise the chart to include proposed totals
to see how requirements of the COD are tracking. First submittal: Comment not addressed. The table from
Sheet 3 of the approved preliminary plat is not included on the final plat. Please add the table and
update each column as necessary to reflect the areas of each feature that have been approved in
Brookhill. Rev. 2: Comment not fully addressed. Per the final site plan for Blocks 16 & 17 under review
(SDP202200058) the site plan states that block 16 measures 10.612 acres and block 17 measures 14.364
acres. The block area summary exhibit provided with the revised plat states that block 16 is 11.11 acres
and block 17 is 17.18 acres. Please coordinate with the engineer preparing the final site plan and verify
the correct acreage for each block. Update the plat as necessary.
Response: I have attached an exhibit prepared by the engineer to coordinate the areas. The same coordinated chart
is provided with the final site plan.
5. [COD page 22] A civic space is required in either Blocks 16, 17 or 18. Indicate on the plan which block these
amenities will be provided. First submittal: Comment not addressed. Open space areas are shown on the
plat, but it is unclear if these areas are intended to meet the Eastern Park Civic Space #3 required by the
Code of Development. Please provide a response as to whether the civic space is going to be divided
into 10,000 sq.ft. areas between Blocks 16-18, or if it will be provided as one 30,000 sq.ft. area in one of
the blocks. Rev. 2: Comment not fully addressed. The final site plan for blocks 16 & 17 states that 10.4
total acres of open space is being provided in blocks 16 & 17, but the notes on the plat states that 4.207
acres of open space is being created through this plat. Please coordinate with the engineer preparing
the site plan and update the plat as necessary.
Response: That is correct. Only a portion of the open space is being created with this plat. The remainder was created
in the Greenway plat (DB 5512 pg 282) or is being created with the SFA plat.
22. [14-302 (B)(5)] Block density. Please revise Note 8 on Sheet 1 so that it states the acreage and number of
lots proposed within Block 16 and 17 separately and state the density in units/acre. Rev. 2: Comment not
fully addressed. Note 8 states that 28 units are proposed in block 17, but 29 lots are shown on the plat.
Please revise.
Response: There are only 28. Lot 8 was eliminated to accommodate the SWM systems.

25. [ZMA2018-11] Proffer #2A states that a public easement needs to be granted over the greenway parcels
prior to issuance of the 500th Certificate of Occupancy for a dwelling within the project. The greenway parcel
has been subdivided and is identified as TMP 46-19B9. Please provide a response as to when the developer
intends to provide the easement. Based on the County's dwelling unit tracking throughout approved blocks of
Brookhill, platting of these lots will bring the total approved number of lots above 500. Rev. 2: Comment
addressed. Per applicant comment response letter, additional plats are being prepared to create the
remaining portions of the greenway parcel that do not yet exist. Once the full greenway parcel(s) have
been created, a public easement will be dedicated over the greenway. Please continue to advise the
developer that there are areas of the greenway on the east side of Block 18 that have not yet been
subdivided, and areas on the north/south sides of Block 9 that are required as part of the overall
greenway that do not appear to have been subdivided from their respective parent tracts as of
11/23/2022.
Response: Noted. We have made the developer aware of this and will submit a plat to encompass these areas as well.
26. [14-303 (A)] Please revise the statement of consent to division so that it states the correct TMP number.
Rev. 2: Comment not fully addressed. The statement of consent still references TMP 46-19BA, but the
area summary does not indicate that that parcel is being affected with this plat. Please clarify and revise
the plat if necessary.
Response: Statement of consent revised.
35. [14-302 (B)(1)] Please add a date of last revision. Rev. 2: Comment stands.
Response: Revision dated added.
Thank you for taking the time to review this plat. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Bethany Vel quez
