The variation request, dated November 3, 2010 and attached to this letter, is for a variation to the phase lines depicted in approved ZMA 2004 -14. Included in the variation request and also attached is the "Revised Phase Lines - Exhibit 1" which is a comparison of the approved phase lines with the proposed revised phase lines. As you develop the Briarwood subdivision with final lot layout and engineering, you determined that the phase lines need to be revised. This variation request is for revision of the phase lines to accommodate your desired lot layout and the construction of utilities to service the lots in each phase. The variation request does not change the number of townhouses and single family detached and attached units in each phase that was previously approved with ZMA 2004 -14, nor does it change the overall total number of units and type of units as described in proffer #9. After review of this request, we agree that the phase line plan is revised in order to accommodate development processing with no changes to the number of units and types. The analysis of the variation request is provided below. Section 8.5.5.3 allows the director of planning to grant minor variations from the approved application plan as long as: 1) The variation is consistent with the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan.
