RE: SDP--2009-22 Hollymeade Town Center Apartments- Interparcel Connection
Dear Sir:
I see Elaine has spoken with you and sent you a response letter regarding the County's position on not being
able to support the dedication of the proposed trail/greenway in exchange for density bonuses.
As she touched on, there is the potential for you to gain a desired density bonus by dedicating a public street
that connects the Willow Glen subdivision to Town Center Drive [Sec. 18.4.2]. There are some environmental
factors present that make building a public street a questionable option. Without a revised site plan proposing a
public street, we cannot conduct a proper analysis and cannot determine whether we would support the
dedication of the public street and associated density bonus; the Board of Supervisors must accept the
dedication.
We will not require you to provide the interparcel connection, however, please be aware that without the
density bonus from the open space /trail dedication or public street dedication, your client would not be able to
subdivide this project away from the southern portion of the parcel. But, as you know, the density proposed on
the 3/8/10 plans is in line with the parcel size as it exists today and a subdivision is not required to get approval
of the project.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to discuss this with you further.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth M. Marotta
Senior Planner
