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 12/22/14): 1. [14- 302(A)3] Existing or platted streets. Clarify the existing public right -of -way line and the 30' prescriptive easement line. The right -of -way line looks much like other lines on the plan, so it is difficult to tell which lines depict r /w. Is the prescriptive easement only along the subject parcel? Why is it shown over the existing public right -of -way? Final: Comment addressed. 2. [14- 302(A)4 &5] Private & public easements. Verify that the location and dimensions of all existing and proposed private and public easements are shown. Existing easements should be labeled with the appropriate DB and PG reference. Proposed easements should be labeled with the intended holder. The plan proposes both sewer and storm on private lots; these utilities will require easements. Additionally, if sidewalk is not located within the proposed public right -of -way, a sidewalk easement will be required with the appropriate maintenance agreement. Final: Comment addressed. 3. [14- 302(A)4 &5] Private & public easements. Will an easement be necessary for the off -site sewer connection? If so, show it on the plat and add impacted property owner(s) as signees. Final: Comment addressed. 4. [14- 302(A)8] Proposed lots. Clarify the total acreage of the proposed lots on the cover sheet. The sum of all lots is 1.68 acres not 1.70; using 1.70 (the sum of rounded lot acreages) gives a total development area of 2.56 acres. Final: Comment addressed. 5. [14- 302(A)8] Proposed lots. Indicate on the cover sheet that cluster development standards are being used. Final: Comment addressed. 6. [14- 302(A)8] Proposed lots. Provide a frontage dimension for all proposed lots. Final: Comment addressed. 7. [14- 302(A)l0] Right of further division of proposed lots. Please remove the development rights note (note #2) as development rights are not applicable on R -2 zoned land. Final: Comment addressed. 8. [14-302(A)11] Instrument creating property proposed for subdivision. The legal reference provided should be a Will Book reference, not a Deed Book reference. Final: Comment addressed. 9. [14- 302(A)12] Topography. Label the existing topography. Final: Comment addressed. 10. [14- 302(B)5] Zoning classification. Add Airport Impact Area (AIA) to the Zoning note. Final: Comment not addressed. Add AIA and Managed Steep Slopes to the Zoning note. 11. [18- 4.6.1] Frontage and lot width measurements. The required frontage may be reduced on a cul -de -sac provided driveway separation meets VDOT standards. However, minimum lot width must be maintained between the front and rear yards; the front setback may need to be moved back to where minimum lot width is achieved. Final: Comment addressed. However, new setback standards are now available in R -2. This subdivision is vested should you choose to use the old requirements. If you choose to use the new requirements, the front setback may not be closer to the right -of -way than where the minimum lot width is achieved. 12. [18- 14.4.1] Environmental standards. To qualify for the bonus factor for maintenance of existing wooded areas you must show that the area maintained meets the definition of 'wooded area' in Section 3. Final: Comment addressed. 13. [18- 14.4.1] Environmental standards. To qualify for this bonus, a conservation plan as specified in section 32.7.9 is required. Final: Comment addressed. 14. [14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements. A maintenance agreement will be required for the proposed sidewalks (if they remain outside of the proposed public right -of -way) and the open space parcel. Final: Comment not addressed. Submit a maintenance agreement that covers the maintenance of the private street, sidewalks, street trees, open space and preserved tree area for review and approval by the County Attorney's Office. 15. [14 -422] Sidewalks and planting strips. Label and dimension the sidewalks and planting strips. Planting strips must be 6' wide. Final: Comment addressed. Final Plat Comments: 16.
