[14- 302(A)4] Private easements. Label all proposed private easements as private. 2. [14- 302(A)4] Private easements. As discussed during Site Plan review, all required landscaping located on proposed private lots must have a landscape easement. The homeowner's associated documents should address the maintenance of all required landscaping. Additionally, since the open space in Block 6 is to be dedicated to the County, an easement will be required for the homeowner's association to maintain the frontage landscaping and any proposed stormwater facilities located on the dedicated land. The deed of dedication and /or C &R should state that the homeowner's association is responsible for maintaining the landscaping and SWM facilities. 3. [14- 302(A)8] Proposed lots. List the number of proposed lots, broken down by block, on the Cover Sheet. 4. [14- 302(A)14] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved. A separate parcel must be created for the public dedication of open space in Block 6. Label the open space in Block 6 accordingly and as `Hereby Dedicated to Public Use', and provide a Deed of Dedication for review and approval by the County Attorney's Office. This deed must be recorded with the plat. 5. [14- 302(A)14] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved. Open Space is defined as, "Land or water left in undisturbed natural condition and unoccupied by building lots, structures, streets, or parking lots except as otherwise specifically provided in section 4.7." Many of the uses shown within "open space" areas (private r /w, alley easements, SWM, etc) are not allowed. Please revise the "open space" labels to "Common Open Space ". 6.

If an alley abuts the rear yard, the required rear yard shall be measured from the edge of the alley right -of -way or easement. The rear yard lines in Block 2B are shown incorrectly; the yard is 3' for accessory structures and 10' for primary structures and should be measured from the edge of the alley easement, not the property line. Keep in mind that accessory structures for which any part is located closer than three (3) feet to any part of a primary structure shall comply with the minimum applicable yard requirements for a primary structure. 9. [14- 302(6)8] Flood plain. As discussed during Site Plan review, the floodplain line must be officially adjusted through FEMA prior to Final Plat approval. 10. [14- 302(6)10] Stream buffers.
