Subject: Avinity Phase II ZMA 2013 -16, Application Plan dated March 18, 2014 and
Proffers dated March 17, 2014 for a rezoning to PRD
Section 19.5.2 allows for additional area to be added to a PRD. Please clarify if Avinity II will be
added to Avinity I once approved (added to the HOA for Avinity I, shared amenities between both
developments, etc.) Based on the open space information provided, the requirements of Section
19.6 are met for the entire Avinity PRD (Avinity I +Avinity 11) of 25 %.
Please clarify the proposed maximum number of units. The maximum number of townhomes in
the table on sheet 1 of the application plan is listed as 122 and note #3 under the table says the
maximum number of units in Avinity II will be 102 units. Also, please clarify where the Avinity 16-8
townhomes listed in that table.
Section 19.6.2 requires that the minimum recreational facilities with 4.16 be met:
4.16.2 MINIMUM FACILITIES
The following facilities shall be provided within the recreational area:
4.16.2.1 One (1) tot lot shall be provided for the first thirty (30) units and for each additional fifty (50) units and
shall contain equipment which provides an amenity equivalent to:
One (1) swing (four (4) seats)
One (1) slide
Two (2) climbers
One (1) buckabout or whirl
Two (2) benches.
Substitutions of equipment or facilities may be approved by the director of planning and community
development, provided they offer a recreational amenity equivalent to the facilities listed above, and are
appropriate to the needs of the occupants.
Each tot lot shall consist of at least two thousand (2,000) square feet and shall be fenced, where determined necessary
by the director of planning and community development, to provide a safe environment for young children.
4.16.2.2 One -half (1/2) court for basketball shall be provided for each one hundred (100) units, consisting of a thirty
(30) foot by thirty (30) foot area of four (4) inch 21 -A base and one and one half (1 1/2) inches bituminous concrete
surface, and a basketball backboard and net installed at regulation height.
4.16.3 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
4.16.3.1 Equipment specifications shall be approved by the director of planning and community development on advice
of the director of parks and recreation.
4.16.3.2 Recreational equipment and facilities shall be maintained in a safe condition and replaced as necessary.
Maintenance shall be the responsibility of the property owner if rental units or a homeowners' association if sale units.
4.16.3.3 Recreational facilities shall be completed when fifty (50) percent of the units have received certificates of
occupancy.
Based on the maximum number of units proposed, it appears Section 4.16 is not met or
substitutions (the dog park, passive rec areas, etc.) will need to be approved as adequate
substitutions.
Please confirm that any requirements of the ARB for the stormwater /openspace area adjacent to
Route 20 are met on the application plan. Additional ARB review of a more detailed plan may be
needed so a revised note may also be needed on the application plan.
The modification of Section 4.11.3 requested on Sheet 1 must be reviewed /approved by the Fire
Marshal.
• Engineering and Fire & Rescue review of the emergency access is recommended.
