SDP2016-00025 —Initial —Engineering Review
1. May 19, Applicant, Planning, and Engineering met to discuss floodplain issues on this project. A specific
section of code was discussed. Code 18-30.3.11 -Permitted and Prohibited Uses and Structures (Table, p.
18- 30- 12.4, online .PDF); Stream Crossings and Grading Activities, provides the following impermissible
use in the regulatory floodway, but by -right use in the floodway fringe: "Grading activities in compliance
with the Water Protection Ordinance; provided that it is demonstrated, in a floodplain impact plan that the
grading will have no impact on the elevations or limits of the floodplain and further provided that any cut
or fill shall be only to level areas for playfields, correct erosion problems, build trails, or other fine grading
activities which will have no impact on the floodplain." May 19 discussion /proposal to maintain current
limits of floodplain by placing 14'f fill in the floodplain to a final (recreational field) elevation slightly
lower than (FIRM Panel 51003C00145D) base flood elevation —in effect, a design that may submerge the
recreational area during the I% statistical event —was discussed with Departmental Director and Zoning
Administrator on May 26. Please accept that any proposal to place approximately 14' of fill within the
floodplain to final elevation slightly lower than current effective FEMA FIRM Map panel base flood
elevation does not meet the intent of italicized text above. That is: "to level areas for playfields" intends
fine grading that removes surface irregularity or variation; it does not intend substantial cut (export) or fill
(import). Applicant is directed to series of emails, April 27, 2016 3:13 PM through 5/9/2016 2:31 PM,
attached to this note for guidance and direction on floodplain issues. Further, Applicant may appeal
determination of meaning of level areas for playfields or other fine grading to the board of zoning appeals.
2. As with any Floodplain Development Permit (FDP) project, while we accept 'Hydrologic and Hydraulic
Analysis results for Briarwood Development (report prepared for Collins Engineering, May 13, 2016),
please provide:

b. H&H report author's name; professional /technical certifications and credentials.

W Initial Site Plan
Application plans for Briarwood, and the plan of development approved with ZMA 95-20 for the Beard property
(Proffer 19), require access to the primary recreation area in the location shown on the proposed site plan.
ZMA 95-20 shows a 50' Reserved Access area but it still must be platted and recorded, if it hasn't been done
already The Briarwood applicant must work with Beard to obtain the necessary easements for the road and
any grading easements necessary. Both property owners are subject to the requirements of the proffers and
application plan that require the recereation area to be built.

The proposed development falls within the Entrance Corridor overlay. If existing trees beyond the area of
proposed grading are to remain, then the proposed development is not expected to be visible from the
Entrance Corridor. The existing tree line and the proposed tree line to remain are not shown on the plan
Revise the plan to show both the existing tree line and the proposed tree line to remain. if trees to remain are
insufficient to eliminate visibility, x"'%RB review may be required.

Re: SDP -2016-00025 Briarwood Recreational Area -- Initial Site Plan
Dear Mr. Perez,
We have reviewed the initial site plan for Briarwood Recreational Area, dated 4/25/2016 as
submitted by Collins Engineering and offer the following comments:
1. Please clarify if cul-de-sac is part of this plan or the Briarwood Phase 4 Road Plan.
Please show features that are not part of this plan, and not existing, as proposed under
separate review.
2. Provide entrance radii; the minimum radius is 25', depending on design vehicle. Provide
design vehicle.
3. The minimum entrance width is 24 feet; please adjust depending on design vehicle.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please do not hesitate to contact me at
