RE: SDP 2012 -46 Cascadia- 11/12/12 Revisions for SRC, Variation Requests,
Special Exception Request - Waiver of Proffer
Review comments below focus on the proffers approved with the Cascadia (ZMA 2002 -04) and
the major elements required on the general development plan and in the code of development.
12/3/12- Variations 1 -5 are eligible for consideration by the Planning Director, and County
Engineer, according to Section 8 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Proffer 1- Affordable Housing- No information is provided to indicate how the affordable
housing proffer will be met. Proffer 1 A requires that all affordable units be designated on
the final site plan or during the subdivision process, they must be designated on the
preliminary plat and the final plat. A table should be provided with all final site plan and
all plat submittals that indicates minimum affordable units are provided, including
minimum requirements of proffer 1 B.
Proffer 2- Route 20 Improvements- A 20' dedication along the Route 20 frontage of the
property is required with the first subdivision plat. This is noted on Sheet PS3 but should
also be noted on sheets PS10/11.
Proffer 3- Secondary Road Interconnections to Broadus Baptist Church- The preliminary
site plan is not addressing Proffer 3. Sheet PS4 and PS 10/11 should provide for the first
connection to Broadus Baptist Church including the 30' wide easement and the Class A
trail should be shown. Sheets PS4 and PS7 /8 must demonstrate how the second
interconnection as required by the proffers is provided. It is recommended the applicant
seek input from the church in establishing which lot they will be offered.
12/3/12 -The 30' wide easement as shown on Sheet PS12 is not in the location of the 10'
trail described in the proffer and shown on the General Development Plan.
The second interconnection does not appear to be labeled on the plan sheets anywhere.
There was a note referencing this proffer and lot to provide access that was shown on
the General Development Plan. All plats and plans should provide for this note on the lot
that will be offered to the church.
• Proffer 5- Overlot Grading Plan- Proffer 5 applies to single family detached and attached
dwelling units and the grading plan must be provided prior to final plat approval. Proffer
5G requires an 18' driveway whether a garage is provided or not for single family lots but
does not apply to townhouses. All areas of the site are subject to the grading regulations
on page 24 of the code of development and the conceptual grading plan.
12/3/12- Retaining walls are shown on Sheet PS 10 and must be approved according to
the requirements of Code of Development page 24. The driveway waiver request for this
proffer has been submitted and minimum submittal requirements were met according to
the proffer. The County Engineer must review and make findings according to the proffer
before it follows the special exception process to be approved by the Board of
Supervisors. (See recent example approved with Old Trail). The proffer applies to both
single family attached and single family detached lots.
Preservation and Conservation Areas — These areas are not labeled on the preliminary
site plan and required trails are not shown, see page 14 of the code. There are
additional requirements for conservation areas on page 18 of the code.
• Entry Park- The preliminary site plan does not show how all requirements of the Entry
Park will be met as described on pages 13 and 18 of the code of development,
especially the requirement that existing vegetation be maintained.
12/3/12 -not addressed.
Built Form Standards Page 16 of the code of development- Prior to final site plan or
subdivision plat approval the build -to lines (see Note 1) and other setback notes should
be provided. The required 70' setback line with Fontana should be provided on plan
sheets including Sheet PS9 which has labeled the required 30' landscape buffer. Sheet
PS6 should note the required 30' setback for the pool and clubhouse from any
residential structure.
12/3/12 -The 70' setback line with Fontana and 30' pool /clubhouse comments have not
been addressed. Note 1 on page 16 of the Code specifies a "specific number" for the
build -to line be established with site plan and subdivision approval. With the review of
Variation #4 submitted for setbacks, the applicants proposal to keep a range should be
reviewed approved (PS 14 typical lots).
• Fontana /Cascadia Emergency Access /Pedestrian Connection- This connection must be
provided to the property line and meet the requirements established on page 20 of the
code of development and the general development plan. It is not shown on PS9 and
should also be shown on sheet PS4.
12/3/12- This connection is now shown on PS10. The right -of -way is shown to the
property line but it still appears all the requirements of the Code are not met:
