Dear Mr. White:
On March 13, 2013.the Board of Supervisors approved the following variations as follows:
Variation #49
To allow the maximum "Front build -to distance from street" for the building to vary from the
distance of 5' specified in Table 10 of Belvedere's Code of Development (page 36) to be
increased to 2' beyond any existing utility easements that have been located along the road. This
approval was based on the following condition:
• Table 10 of the Belvedere Code of Development must be updated prior to Final Site Plan
approval.
Variation #50
To allow a variation of building massing, interior parking access road and parking layout from that
shown in the ZMA exhibits titled "Block 1 and 2 General Development Plan Exhibit 213" and "Block
1 and 2 Potential Development Scenario Exhibit 4 ". This approval was based on the following
conditions:

will be required in addition to all standard street tree, parking lot, and site plan landscape
requirements.
• An updated description of Block 1 in the Belvedere Code of Development must be

approved "Belvedere BLVD — Phase 1 Road & Drainage Improvements" Site Plan (see section
labeled "Belvedere Boulevard —100' R/W Parkway Section" on sheet 6 of 23). This approval was
based on the following conditions:
• A minimum nine foot (9') paved parallel parking area must be provided on each side of
the road.section. Travel lanes will remain twelve feet (12'). in width, free of on- street
parking. Five feet (6) striped bikes lanes will be provided on both sides of the road

required between the road and the 8' multi - purpose trail, as previously approved. A four
foot (4') planting strip and five feet (5') sidewalk must be provided on the opposite side of
Belvedere Blvd for safety and pedestrian access.
• The full width of the multi - purpose trail must be within the Belvedere Blvd right -of -way.
Either a boundary line adjustment or realignment of the road section will be required.
• As shown on the exhibit, bike lanes must be provided on both sides of Belvedere Blvd.
• Revised road plans must be approved by the County Engineer and VDOT. Work with the
County Engineer to provide additional traffic calming measures to their satisfaction.

• VDOT acceptance of Belvedere Boulevard.
• An updated Table 8 showing the changes listed above (and variations #49 & #50) must
be provided as part of an updated Code of Development and Application Plan reflecting
all variations approved since February 2, 2010 (the latest Code revision date)
comprehensively prior to Final Site Plan approval.
