Review Status:No Objection
Reviews Comments:At the June 1, 2015 ARB meeting, the ARB determined that the proposed development for Blocks 10,
16, 17 and 18 at Old Trail would not be visible from the Rt. 250 East Entrance Corridor and,
therefore, would not require ARB review.

Reviews Comments:Engineering review comments are neither site plan nor road plan comments. Comments in response
to Applicant request to authorize private streets do not replace or supersede initial site plan
comments (9-Jul 2015, SDP2015-00028) relative to RW width (1’ beyond sidewalks), or request that
proposed RW match existing RW for Golf Drive, Fielding Run, and Rowcross. Engineering review
(ISP comment) request for RW that extends 1’ beyond sidewalks, RW to match existing approved
public RW, and other ISP comment requests, are/remain unchanged.
1.(Undated) letter from RGA requesting authorization of private streets and waiver for sidewalk
and planting strip requirements along private alleys appears inconsistent with 14-234, Procedure to
authorize private street and related matters. Applicant should review submittal requirements and
provide information consistent with 14-234.A.1.(a./b.). Engineering requests this information.
2.The proposed private street aligned north/south parallel with Fielding Run and Rowcross
Street (separating Lots 1-9 and Lots 10-19) does not satisfy requirement at 14-234.C.4. This street
serves through traffic and intersects the state highway system in more than one location, and should
be a public street.
3.Lots 10-14 and 17-21 have no public or private street access, or direct access to a sidewalk.
These lots require street (not Alley) access, per 18-4.6.6.a. –Access required for all zoning districts.
4.Letter makes request for private streets and waiver from sidewalk and planting strip
requirements along private alleys in Block 10, 16, and 17/18 of Old Trail Village, and references Alley
‘A’, Alley ‘C’, Alley ‘D’, Alley ‘E’, Alley ‘F’, Alley ‘G’. Exhibit Alleys are not labeled; request alleys be
labeled.
5.Note/observation: Request for private streets with loss of RW width, sidewalks, and planting
strips has immediate effect for homeowners: amenities are forfeit, and long-term expense –simple
expense of living –at Old Trail Village increases as HOA fees must cover private street, alley, and
sidewalk maintenance. Letter focuses on increased density and parking, but streets at Old Trail
Village, as elsewhere, built with sidewalks and planting strips invite pedestrian use. An alley-only,
high-density approach discourages pedestrian use.

Reviews Comments:1.I don’t think you need Alley ‘A’, Alley ‘C’, Alley ‘F’ or Alley ‘G’ to be private streets, they can
just be alleyways, as the lots adjacent to those do not need frontage as they already have frontage
on public streets.
2.We do not see a reason for Private Street B in Block 16 to be private. Lots 10-19 appear to
be facing that street, and would expect that lots 1-9 units would face that street as well. Sidewalks
and planting strips are provided, so I don’t see a reason why this needs to be a private street. County
policy is that streets should be public.
3.Can you provide more information for the units and where they will be facing (front door) for
lots 1-22 in Block 17? It is unclear if lots 1-8 will have a face (front door) to the alley and not Upland
Drive. Also, unclear is if lots 9-22 will be facing the open space with rear access via the alleyways.
We would expect them to face Upland Drive (1-8) and the open space (9-22). However, if lots 9-22
are facing the open space, we would also want a sidewalk to be provided in the open space to allow

access. Similar to what was designed in Block 14.
4.Alley ‘D’ and Alley ‘E’ should be labeled as private streets to avoid confusion between the
hierarchy of access (alleys (do not require sidewalks and planting strips), private streets, and public
streets (which do require sidewalk and planting strips).
