5. Submittal of a tree conservation checklist.
The final subdivision plat will not be considered to have been officially submitted until the following
items are received:
1. A final subdivision plat that satisfies all of the requirements of 14 -226 of the Subdivision
Ordinance.
2. A fee of $1,230.
Please submit eight (8) copies of the subdivision plat to the Community Development Department. The
assigned Lead Reviewer will then distribute the plans to all reviewing agencies. Once you receive the
first set of comments on the final subdivision plat, please work with each reviewer individually to
satisfy their requirements.
The final subdivision plat will not be approved until the following conditions are met:
The Department of Community Development shall not accept submittal of the final subdivision plat for

Planning Division Approval of (2 copies):
1. A plat meeting all the requirements for final subdivision plats per the subdivision ordinance.

3. [14- 302(A)4 &5] Private & public easements. Label all new easements as 'proposed'.
4. [14- 302(A)9] Building sites on proposed lots. Building sites are required to be the size of the
anticipated dwelling footprint plus the area of setbacks /yards. While critical slope disturbance
was addressed in the proffers for ZMA200600011, several of the proposed lots are significantly
impacted by stream buffer (lots 5, 13, 23, 27, 28, 29 & 76 in particular). Adequate building sites
must be provided outside of the stream buffer. Provide a "typical" minimum building site
diagram with the resultant required square footage (as indicated above) and show that lots
limited by stream buffer in fact provide this minimum required building site.
5. [14- 302(A)11] Instrument creating property proposed for subdivision. Provide the most recent
instrument in addition to the information shown on sheet 2.
6. [14- 302(B)5] Zoning classification. Add Entrance Corridor (EC) to the zoning note.
7. [14- 302(8)8 & 18- 19.9.1] Setbacks. The plat indicates that lots 30 -36 will have a 35' rear setback
as they are adjacent to RA zoning. Lot 87 also adjoins RA property; please add lot 87 to the list
of lots that will have a 35' rear setback.
8. [14- 302(B)10] Stream buffers. Add the following note: "The stream buffers shown hereon shall

the square footage calculations for each lot rather than the acreages.
11. [ZMA200600011 Proffer 4] Prior to Final Plat approval, an overlot grading plan must be
submitted that meets all requirements listed in Proffer 4 for Engineering review and approval.
This review may result in a reduction of the number of approvable lots.

purpose of including storm sewer in these areas?
5. On sheet number 11 of 14, is the terminus of Kendra Street shown proposed to be a temporary

The "branch- type" turnaround shown does not appear to have an adequate length or radii.
6. Per Appendix B(1) of the Road Design Manual, cul -de -sacs with unpaved centers should be
considered one -away and designed in accordance with Table 3 of Appendix B(1). Refer to page
B(1) -24 of the Road Design Manual.
7. On sheet 13 of 14, Route 631 does not appear to be drawn accurately based on the contours
provided. The edge of pavement of Route 631 should be field verified and reflected on the
preliminary plat.
8. 1 question the availability of adequate intersection sight distance at the intersection of street "C"
and Route 631. Sight lines should be provided at each intersection, and sight line profiles should
be provided at locations with questionable sight distance such as the intersection of street "C"
and Route 631. For 45 mph, the minimum intersection sight distance required is 500 feet.
9. The alignments and locations of the proposed streets may need to be adjusted as the road plans
are prepared and reviewed.
