roads as indicated on the preliminary plat.

Final Rev. 1: Comment not vet fully addressed. Fix labels for the greenway easement and add
additional labels. On Sheet No. V2 the text for the Public Greenway and the Existing 100 Year Flood
Plain are overlapping and are not able to be read. Separate these two labels. On Sheet No. V3 add
additional labels for the greenway easement. There are no labels for it to the north or east and
because of the subdivisions of the easement between phases additional labels are needed to the
south. On all sheets ensure that there are greenwav easement labels with the deed book and page
number and that when the greenway easement is subdivided by phase lines that there is a label in
each phase area.
6. [14-302(B)8 & 4.6.1(c)] Yards. This subdivision includes many non-standard setback/yard lines to
establish the setback or yard where the minimum lot width is achieved; therefore, all setback/yard lines must
be shown on the final plat.
Final: Comment not addressed. Show all setback/yard lines on the plat. Since the preliminary plat
was approved prior to the new setback regulations, either set of requirements may be used. In any
case, make sure all setback/yard lines shown establish the depth of front and rear yards where the
minimum lot width is achievable.

Final Plat Comments:
7. [Comment] The acreages, percentages and other information on the plat is presented as if the greenway

not as a separate parcel. Revise all associated information to indicate the greenway is an easement and
include the acreage in all labels, notes and calculations.
Final Rev. 1: Comment addressed.
[Comment] Since this is the second phase of a multi -phase subdivision, please provide a table that lists
the number of lots, density, amount of open space, percentages, etc. for each phase of the project as well
as cumulatively overall. This will assist in reviewing the remaining phases as the project moves forward.
Final Rev. 1: Comment not fully addressed. Phase I must be included in the tables that show the
cumulative values for number of lots, density, amount of open space, percentages, etc. In the tables
categorize separately what has been approved/platted (Phase 1), what is being proposed in Phase I1,
and what is envisioned for Phases III and IV. Also, include for comparison the approved totals for
each of the values for the whole development from the Preliminary Subdivision Plat
(SUB201200038). Also include Phase I in the Area Summary on the cover sheet.
9. [2.2.3] Minimum open space required. A minimum of 2,6% open space is required for cluster development,
