SUBJECT: SUB201200038 Westlake Hills Proffer Revisions
DATE: APR, 16, 2012
I have reviewed preliminary plat for the proposed subdivision Westlake Hills,
dated March 3th, 2012 and have the following comments, requests and
suggestions.
1. The much anticipated greenway corridor connections shown in the
Crozet Master plan are not indicated on this subdivision plat.
a. Is there a willingness to connect this proposed subdivision
to the future Crozet Greenway Network?
b. If so, please arrange to meet with Park Staff to discuss this
further and plan to include the trails on the Final Plat.
2. The Licking Hole Basin is currently a popular destination for
residents from existing surrounding neighborhoods. Anticipating a
similar interest in the lake, as well as future Bike /Ped connections
throughout the community, West Lake could benefit from at least
three trail head access points. Ideally, these could be managed for
Semi - public (Bike /Ped) access. This is generally an issue that arises
later in the life of a subdivision and is worked out between Parks and
the HOA. It would be much better to address this need through the
initial subdivision plat.
3. Are any provisions being considered for recreational field space? If
so would they be for public use, semi - public, or private exclusive
use? Park staff is available to assist with any plan development
where public is possible.
