RE: Final Site Plan requirements for SDP .2010 24 and.ZMA.2006 -005 Avinity
'Dear Scott:
The County has _granted approval for variations in a letter dated March 26, .2010. This letter identifies the items
that are necessary before the final site plan can be approved. Please note that the variations relate specifically
to the site plan elements shown on'SDP2010 -024:
1. 'Retaining walls shall not be'taller than-four feet in height.
2. The townhouses on the perimeter road of the site shall have architectural features -that serve to
relegate the - parking and create a face to the street. Ways to relegate the parking include variation in
setback, use of roof. pitch, and use of porches and potentially balconies to deemphasize the parking in
the front of the townhouses. The goal is to prevent the appearance of a continuous parking lot.
3. The backs of units of Lots 39--44 and 69 -74 which face the loop street must have architectural
features such .as projections and porches as indicated on the Avinity Exhibit dated 12 -17 -09
(Attachment C). The -Kenridge townhouses, referenced in Attachment.B are shown in Attachment C for
reference. Approval is not given for-the architecture shown -in View B on Attachment C.
.4. The sidewalks on Avinity Loop should be.adjacent to the pavement instead of crossing the middle of
the driveways on Lots "39 -44 and 69 - 74. These sidewalks, when provided adjacent to the pavement,
will satisfy the need to -provide sidewalks on'the perimeter road of-the development, which was
identified in the variation letter dated 3- 26 -10.
Please address-the issues above and include elevations-for the buildings in Avinity when you submit-for-final
,site plan approval. Also, be -sure to provide a signature -block for the Planning -Division on -the -final site plan.
If you -have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at .296-5823 extension 3252.
Sincerely,
?id� I. &"
