RE:ZMA 2013-00016,Aviniry II
Dear Megan:
Thank you for your recent comments on the above-referenced project. The following are responses to the
items raised in your letter addressing the final comments from Zoning,Engineering,Affordable Housing,
and the County Attorney:
Engineering
1. The traffic impacts and concerns have been addressed with the addition of the traffic
channelization island going into Avinity II development. This channelization island splits up
the traffic evenly through the existing streets in the development. In addition,the overall
trips per day have been added to the application plan to show the evenly distributed trips
through the neighborhood.
2. The applicant acknowledges that the slopes around the pond are managed slopes and any
grading and retaining walls will need to comply with the new ordinance for managed slopes.
The final site plan will include the grading and wall designs that will meet the ordinance.
3. The applicant acknowledges that this section of Avinity will need to meet the new VSMP
requirements.
Zoning
1. Note#7 has been added to the application plan indicating that Avinity II development will be
added to the Avinity I HOA and all amenities, open space and maintenance will be shared
between the developments.
2. Each of the 4 blocks within Avinity II list a range of units that can be developed in that block.
The table summarizes these total units;however,there will be a mixture of units throughout
the development. That this time, it has not been determined which units will be in which
sections, other than the SF houses indicated as such on the application plan. Because there
will be a mixture of housing,we have put a cap on the total amount of units that can be TH
units in this section. While the chart adds up to 122 TH units,we are saying that the
maximum number of units is 102 units. Therefore,each of the 4 sections can not be
developed entirely as townhouse units.
3. Note number 4 has been updated to discuss the active recreational amenities for the
development, and this is consistent with how planning has asked us to show the amenities for
the proposed development. The final amenities will be determined with the final site plan,
but will include a tot lot, a 2nd clubhouse/pavilion, a dog park, and trails.
4. The applicant acknowledges that Fire Rescue will approve the final site plan with the
proposed building separations shown in accordance with the application plan.
5. The parking chart has been updated to show the existing and proposed parking spaces for
Avinity I, and how the parking will be handled for Avinity II with onstreet parking for guest
parking and 2 offstreet parking spaces for each lot. The final parking spaces for Avinity II
will be determined with the final site plan.
