Revise the minimum development density note to indicate 75 dwelling units, not 74. Final Plat: The tables on Sheet V2 should be updated to include only what is currently proposed in Blocks 7 and 9 versus what was proposed for the entire Phase II. Be sure to include the minimum and maximum number of carriage house units proposed in each block. See #4 below for additional revisions to Tables 1 & 2. Revl : Comment addressed. However, based on the numbers provided, the minimum number of dwelling units will not be met in Block 7 or Block 9; a variation must be submitted and approved prior to approval of the last final plat for these blocks if the total number of dwelling units remains below the minimum approved in the Code of Development.

Final Plat: The updated Code of Development as described in "f" above is currently under review; comments will be provided when the review is complete. Update Table 4 on the Cover Sheet to include the changes (noted above) approved with Variation #45; these updates should be shown in the `Approved with Rezoning' columns. Additionally, revise the information provided in both the Area Calculations and in Table 4 (under `Proposed with Phase II') to include only the open space areas that are included in this phase. The column heading should be revised to say `Proposed with Phase IIA -1'. Both the notes and the Table include open space areas that do not appear to be included in this phase.

Rev2: Comment not fully addressed. The 0.92 acre preservation area is being double counted in Table 4; instead of 1.19 acres under "Open Space Block 9" it should be 0.27 acre (1.191 — 0.923 = 0.268 acre). 4. [Code of Development] Correct the table provided to track minimum and maximum residential densities and unit types to reflect the accurate number of SFA and Apts /MF in Block 2.

Per a Zoning determination dated February 8, 2011, six (6) units within Buildings 12 and 13 in The Reserve at Belvedere are considered multifamily dwellings units for zoning purposes.
