Subject: Initial Zoning Comments for Birdwood Golf Course Special Use Permit
(SP 2015 -019)
1. As discussed in the preapp, we are concerned about access onto Birdwood Drive both from
Route 250 and from the practice facility. Please explain further how the access onto Birdwood
Drive will be limited primarily to those residences directly served by it. Please also explain
further why access to Birdwood Drive is necessary for this proposed facility.
2. If any special measures will be taken to protect any historic structures, please explain.
3. Please note if there will be outdoor amplified sound associated with the proposed facility.
4. It is likely that the question of warrant analysis for a future traffic signal on Rt 250 serving this
area will arise with this application. We should obtain input from VDOT on this issue.
5. The applicant should be aware that the maximum structure height in R1 residential districts is
35 feet.
