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.] Conditions of Preliminary Plat Approval (from approval letter dated 10/19/12): 1. [14- 302(A)8] Proposed lots. Revise the minimum development density note to indicate 75 dwelling units, not 74. Final Plat: Comment addressed. 2. [14- 302(B)8] Yards. Show both the minimum and maximum front setbacks on all lots. Lots 177 -181 are missing the 16' maximum setback line. Final Plat: Comment addressed. 3. [Code of Development] & [14- 302(A)14] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved. Update Table 4 to reflect the changes to all green space and amenities requirements as approved with Variation #45. This shall include the following: a) The 0.07 acre reduction of `Park E', now 0.53 acres. b) The 1.15 acre reduction of `Park G', now 0.75 acres. c) The 1.26 acre addition to `Open Space Block 9', now 1.76 acres. d) The 0.02 acre increase in the `Block 9, Preservation Easement' conservation area, now 0.09 acres. e) The 0.17 acres increase in the `Block 9, Preservation Easement' preservation area, now 0.8 acres. f) The updated Table 4 showing only the changes listed above must be provided as part of an updated Belvedere Code of Development and Application Plan reflecting all variations approved since February 2, 2010 (the latest Code revision date) comprehensively prior to Final Plat approval. g) Prior to final subdivision plat approval for Belvedere Phase 2, a landscape plan must be provided for the required amenity areas shown on the general development plan and described in the code of development. The plan must show the minimum features as required by the Belvedere Code of Development for Parks E (Dabney Park) and G (Griffen Park). Final Plat: The updated Code of Development as described in "f" has been submitted and approved. It should be noted that the remaining Conservation Area and Preservation Area within "Open Space Block 9" will be required when the last portion of Block 9 is platted. It appears that getting the remaining required preservation area might be problematic; a variation could be required. 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. The table currently indicates 25 SFA and 296 Apts /MF, but the maximum SFA for this block is 19. 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. Therefore, these figures should be revised to 19 SFA and 302 Apts /MF. Final Plat: Comment addressed. 5. [Code of Development] Plat/Road Plans and Table 8 must reflect the changes to all road sections as approved with Variation #48. This shall include the following: a) Road G (Colbert Street) - Section (4) total r/w width has been revised from 52' to 53'. Face of curb to face of curb dimension of 28' does not change. Design speed is changed from 20 mph to 25 mph. Parking is allowed on one side. b) Road X (Griffen Grove) and Road R (Dabney Grove) (not designated in original rezoning plan) have been designed with a 32' f /c -f /c, and a 57' R/W. Design speed is 25 mph with parking allowed on both sidest. c) Roads H (Barnett Street) and I (Shelton Street) have been designed to conform to a modified version of section (5) with a r/w of 57' and a f/c — f/c width of 32'. Design speed has been changed from 20 mph to 25 mph. d) Road D (Farrow Road) - Section (6) from the rezoning plan has been revised to 34' f /c -f /c and 59' R/W.

On- street parking bumpouts have been removed from the plan. e) An updated Table 8 showing all of the changes listed above 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 Plat approval. f) Shift the Phase line for Phase 2 to include the entire R/W for Road I, including the planting strip and sidewalk. Final Plat: The updated Code of Development as described in "e" above has been submitted and approved. 6. [Code of Development] The Final Plat(s), Road Plans, WPO application and any other applications necessary for completion of Phase 2 of Belvedere must conform with variations #45 and #48, and the associated conditions, as approved by the Board of Supervisors on October 3, 2012. Final Plat: Revised road plans must be submitted; this plat cannot be approved until the road plans are approved and all bonds are posted. Final Plat Comments: 1. [14- 302(A)8 and Code of Development] Proposed lots. Proposed lot 177 does not appear to meet the minimum lot width of 30' as indicated in the Code of Development. Please revise the lot layout to provide the required lot width or apply for a variation. 2. [14- 303(S)] Control points. Include at least four (4) control points, evenly distributed across the property and located at survey property corners, and shown on each sheet depicting the property. It seems there are only three control points provided, though I may be overlooking one. 3. [14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvement. If the subdivision will contain one (1) or more improvements that are not to be maintained by the county or any authority or other public agency, the subdivider shall submit with the final plat an instrument assuring the perpetual maintenance of the improvement. This applies to all private streets, parks, trails, open space areas and stormwater facilities. 4.

Engineering has completed their review, comments have been forwarded. Fire /Rescue, VDOT, Inspections and E911 have completed their reviews and have no objection. 5.
