Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.): [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision /Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.] [14- 302(A)4] Private easements. Indicate to whom Easement 6 `Variable Width Landscape & Sidewalk Easement' is granted. Additionally, the road plans showed a temporary construction easement on TMP 55- 78C to allow for the construction of Jackson Lane; this easement must be shown on the plat. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. The issues noted above have been resolved, but the area labeled as Temporary Turn - Around Easement should be within the public right -of -way instead of an easement. The current `easement' areas may be hatched or otherwise labeled and called out as temporary turn - arounds. The following note should also be added to the plat: "The area on this plat designated as a temporary turnaround will be constructed and used as other streets in the subdivision until (street name) is /are extended to (street name), at which time the land in the temporary turnaround area will be abandoned for street purposes and will revert to adjoining property owners in accordance with specific provisions in their respective deeds." The Deed recorded with the subdivision should address how these areas will revert to adjoining property owners. Also, please remove the trail easement noted in the open space to be dedicated to the County; the land will already be public, so no public easement is necessary. Rev2: Comment not fully addressed. The following note should be added to the plat: "The area on this plat designated as a temporary turnaround will be constructed and used as other streets in the subdivision until Jackson Lane is extended to Jarmans Gap Road, at which time the land in the temporary turnaround area will be abandoned for street purposes and will revert to adjoining property owners in accordance with specific provisions in their respective deeds." The Deed recorded with the subdivision should address how these areas will revert to adjoining property owners. 2. [14- 302(A)8 & 13.3] Proposed lots /Area and bulk regulations. This plat results in an overall density of 1.28 du /ac which exceeds the approved density of 1.26 du /ac. This is not an approvable density; either remove lots or add land to this phase to drop the proposed overall density to 1.26 du /ac or less. Rev1: Comment addressed. 3. [14- 302(A)14] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved. For any land intended to be dedicated to the County, provide a Deed of Dedication for review and approval by the County Attorney's Office. This deed must be recorded with the plat. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. A Deed of Dedication was submitted for review, but had not been updated to reflect the revised open space acreage or the latest revision date. In an effort to minimize the number of reviews for the County Attorney's Office, please wait until the plat is approvable, then revise the open space acreage, add the last revision date and resubmit the Deed of Dedication for review. Engineering has noted some confusion with the newly added open space area regarding whether or not there is a stormwater facility in that area and, if so, who is responsible for its maintenance. If there is a SWM facility that is to be maintained by the Creekside Homeowner's Association, it will need to be in "Common Area" not open space (as was done in Phase 2A), and remain under the ownership of the association (see Engineering comments for additional information). The table on Sheet 3 would need to be updated accordingly. If there is no SMW facility, the "dedicated open space" in the table should reflect the entire acreage of open space dedicated with this plat, 1.24 acres, not 0.85 acres as listed. Rev2: Comment not fully addressed. A Deed of Dedication was submitted for review, but had not been updated to reflect the revised open space acreage or the latest revision date. In an effort to minimize the number of reviews for the County Attorney's Office, please wait until the plat is approvable, then revise the open space acreage, add the last revision date and resubmit the Deed of Dedication for review. 4. [14- 303(B)6] Tax map and parcel number. It appears that the TMP for this parcel has been changed to 05500- 00- 00- 078A0; please change all TMP references to this number. Rev1: Comment addressed. 5. [14- 303(A)] Statement of consent to division. The County's standard consent statement was revised effective January 1, 2014 to be in compliance with state code. Please revise the statement on the plat to the following: "The platting or dedication of the following described land [insert a correct description of the land subdivided] is with the free consent and in accordance with the desire of the undersigned owners, proprietors and trustees if any." (see the new checklists for all subdivision applications) Rev1: Comment addressed. 6. [14- 303(C)] Boundary lines. L15 is not included in the line table. Additionally, no dimension is provided for the frontage of Lot 40. All boundary information should be provided. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. There are now two L15 references on Sheet 2 but only one L15 in the Line Table, and no C16 is noted in the Curve Table. Make sure all boundary line information is provided. Rev2: Comment addressed. 7. [14- 303(D)] Acreage of lots. If a boundary line adjustment with TMP 55 -78C is also proposed with this plat, the total revised acreage for TMP 55 -78C must be provided. Additionally, the acreage transferred by the boundary line adjustment should not be included in Phase 1116 calculations or other information (should it be part of 2.23 acre `outside of subdivision limits' area noted in the chart on Sheet 3 ?); the chart on Sheet 3 and all calculations should be modified accordingly. TMP 55 -78C should also be included on the cover sheet and notes. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. The total revised acreage for TMP 55 -78C still hasn't been provided, only the current acreage. Additionally, it looks as if the 0.12 acre boundary line adjustment is accounted for twice in the table on Sheet 3; the residue acreage of 12.04 acres already includes the 0.12 acre BLA, but it's included again as "portion transferred "; the residue acreage should be listed as 12.16 acres. Rev2: Comment addressed. 8. [14- 303(H)] Monuments. It looks like one monument may be missing at C1. Rev1: Comment addressed. 9. [14- 303(L)] Public utility, drainage and sight distance easements. Please provide a Deed of Easement for all drainage easements for review and approval by the County Attorney's Office. This deed must be recorded with the plat. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. A Deed of Easement was submitted for review, but had not been updated to reflect the latest revision date. In an effort to minimize the number of reviews for the County Attorney's Office, please wait until the plat is approvable, then add the last revision date and resubmit the Deed of Easement for review. Rev2: Comment still valid. 10. [14- 303(0)] Signature panels. If a boundary line adjustment with TMP55 -78C is proposed, a signature line should be added for that parcel owner (or reference to the Parcel if same owner as TMP55 -78A). Rev1: Comment addressed. 11. [14- 303(S)] Control points. At least four control points are required, but it appears only two are provided on the plat. Please add two additional control points. Rev1: Comment addressed. 12. [14 -311] Infrastructure improvement plans, computations and documents. All Road Plan and WPO related improvements for Phase IIIB must be built or bonded prior to approval of this plat. Rev1: Comment still valid. Rev2: Comment still valid. 13. [14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance. A maintenance agreement for the proposed landscape and sidewalk easements shall be submitted for review and approval; as with previous phases, a supplemental declaration should be sufficient. This supplemental declaration must be recorded with the plat. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. A Supplemental Declaration was submitted for review, but had not been updated to reflect the latest revision date. In an effort to minimize the number of reviews for the County Attorney's Office, please wait until the plat is approvable, then add the last revision date and resubmit the Supplemental Declaration for review. Rev2: Comment still valid. 14. [14 -409] Coordination and extension of streets. The right -of -way for Jackson Lane should be dedicated to public use. Rev1: Comment not fully addressed. As noted above, the turn - around areas need to be within the right -of -way as well. See comment #1 for additional information. Once these areas are within the right -of -way, make sure the lot areas (minimum 20,000SF) and setbacks /yards are shown accurately. Lot 45 will have three fronts, one on Birchwood Hill, one on Jackson Lane and one on the turn- around area; please show these setbacks on the plat. Rev2: Comment not fully addressed.
