The Department of Community Development shall not accept submittal of the final plat for signature until tentative approvals for the following conditions have been obtained.

All existing property lines must be accurately shown and labeled. ❑ [14- 302(A)8 & 13:4.1] Proposed lots. Due to the application of the street tree bonus factor, all lots are to be a minimum of 20,000sf with a minimum lot frontage of .80'. Street trees must also be provided on all roads as indicated on the preliminary plat. ❑ [14- 302(A)9] Building sites on proposed lots.

An overlot grading plan must be submitted as a condition of approval of this waiver. ❑ [14- 302(B)3] Public areas, facilities or uses.

This subdivision includes many non - standard setback/yard lines to establish the setback or yard where the minimum lot width is achieved; therefore, all setback/yard lines must be shown on the final plat. Engineering approval to include: ❑ Before final plat approval, engineering will need to approve detailed plans, computations, and necessary supporting documents for all physical improvements including, but not limited to, a) road plans b) drainage plans and computations, c) erosion and sediment control plan d) stormwater management plans and computations (A.C. 14 -311). ❑ All physical improvements for access and utilities will need to be approved and constructed or bonded prior to final plat approval.

Please contact Michael Koslow at 296 -5832 ext. 3297 if you have questions or require additional information. VDOT approval to include: ❑ According to the projected traffic data, the intersection of the county connector road and Colorado Road will warrant left and right turn lanes and the intersection of Guadalupe. Dr with the connector road will warrant a right turn taper. The needed turn lane criteria for the connections to Westhall cannot be determined from the information provided in this plan but it appears very likely that these connections will also warrant turn lane treatments. These may require additional right of way to be constructed. ❑ All other VDOT comments have been adequately addressed or can be addressed with the road plan or final plat. Please contact Joel DeNunzio at 422 -9373 if you have questions or require additional information. ACSA approval to include: ❑ Review and approval of road /construction plan. Please contact Alex Morrison at 977 -4511. ext: 116 if you have questions or require additional information. RWSA approval to include: ❑ Due to the size of the proposed development, RWSA will need to approve sewage,flows to determine that adequate capacity is available when the development goes online. This request may be submitted during site plan review. ❑ The RWSA 15" sewer along the southern boundary of the development is slated for upgrade in the next 15 -20 years. RWSA would like to request an additional 20' of easement extending from the northern boundary of the existing 30' easement. ❑ As development of this parcel may inhibit access to the existing RWSA easement, RWSA would like to discuss the possibility of obtaining one or more access easements through the development. ❑ As there appear to be several potential impacts to existing RWSA sewer lines within the project area (most notably the connection to RWSA CZI -MH -137 and the locations and extents of SWM ponds and storm water outfalls), RWSA will need to review site plans once they are available. Please contact Victoria Fort at 977 -2970 ext. 205 if you have questions or require additional information. Sincerely, &J,--L CJ.
