-RE: Final Site-Plan requirements-for SDP.201024 andZMA.2006 -005 Avinity
'Dear-Scott:
The County has - granted approval-for variations in a letter dated'March26,.2010. This letter identifies the items
-that are necessary- before •the-final.site-plan can be approved. Please-note-that-the variations relate.specifi Cal ly
-to the:site-plan elements-shown on'SDP2010 -024:
1. "Retaining walls shall not .be•taller than -four feet in height.
:2. 'The-townhouses on-the perimeter-road of the site -shall have architectural-features-that serve-to
relegate tlie:parking and-create a-face-to the street. Ways to relegatethe parking include variation in
setback, _use :of roof. pitch, and use of porches and potentially.balconies-to deemphasize the parking in .
_the front.of -the townhouses. The.goal is-to prevent the - appearance of_a continuous parking lot.
"3. The`backs of units of Lots 39 -- 44 and 69 -74 which-face the loop street must`have architectural
.features-such.as projections and porches as indicated on'the Avinity'Exhibit dated 1z;I7 -09
(Attachment C). TheXenridge-townhouses, referenced in Attachment .B are shown'in Attachment C -for
-reference. Approval is-not given-for'the architecture shown -in View B on Attachment. C.
4. - .The.sidewalks on Avinity.Loop should be.adjacent-to the'pavement instead of crossing-the middle:of
the driveways on .Lots:39 -44 and 69--74. These sidewalks, when provided adjacent to-the pavement,
will satisfy the need-to-provide sidewalks on-the:perimeter�road.of-the development, which was
identified in *the variation letter dated :326 =10.
'Please 9address -the issues .above and include - elevations -For:the-buildings in Avinity -when .you °submit -for-finai
