Additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.): [Each comment is preceded by the applicable reference, which is to the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances unless otherwise specified.) 1. [Proffer 3.2, 14-302 (A)(14) & 14-426] Greenway proffer. Proffer 3.2 states that "The greenway will be conveyed in the form of a general warranty deed...". The submitted plat, although submitted as a "special lot" is titled as an easement and the labels on the proposed greenway state "New Greenway trail easement", which is very confusing. The reference to a "general warranty deed" in the proffer is referring to a "fee simple" dedication and not an "easement". Change the plat, in title and in labels, to be for a fee simple dedication, and not an easement, to the County for public use. 2. [Proffer 3.2, 14-302 (A)(14) & 14-426] Greenway proffer. Add a note on the coversheet that specifies that the land is to be dedicated to the County for public use. 3. [Proffer 3.2, 14-302 (A)(14) & 14-426] Greenway proffer. Proffer 3.2 specifies the dedication of "... a strip of land no less than one hundred (100) feet in width...". There are at least three areas in which there is less than 100' between the edge of the river and the proposed greenway boundary. These can be seen where the existing 100' Stream Buffer is further away from the river than the proposed greenway boundary. Areas like this can been seen on Sheet. No. V4 & V5. Ensure that the proposed greenway area has a width of at least 100' of land for its whole length along the river. 4. [Proffer 3.2, 14-302 (A)(14) & 14-426] Land to be dedicated in fee or reserved/green space and amenities (Table 4). Provide a table that includes all of the information from Table 4 Green Space Tabulation in the most recent Code of Development (As Revised: July 22, 2014), as the 'Approved with Rezoning', and that also specifies what has already been provided & platted, what is proposed with this special lot plat, the difference from the rezoning, and totals for all of Belvedere. Provide the deed book and page number for the open spaces provide and platted. Refer to SUB201400178 Belvedere Phase IIA-2 Final Subdivision Plat, Sheet No. V1, for an example. Ensure that, if it is approved prior to this special lot plat, the open space modifications for the recently requested variations are included in the open space chart for this plat. 5. [14-302(A)(1)] Name of subdivision. Revise the name of the plat to specify that it is a special lot and a boundary line adjustment (BLA) plat. See comments below for reference to the BLA. 6. [14-302(A)(3)&(6)] Existing or platted streets; Alleys and shred driveways. There is line work for existing roads and trails that is shown on Sheet No. V5 and no other sheet. Also, at least one of the roads or trail lines on V5 appears to continue on to the next sheet, V4. However, no roads or trails are shown on any other sheet except V5. Ensure that all existing and proposed trails and roads are clearly represented and to their full extent within the subject parcels. The COD states that "Several trail connections will be made through adjacent stream corridors that will provide access to this Riverfront amenity area." and the ZMA graphics, exhibit 2C shows a connection to the riverfront trails. Provide information on how these trail requirement either have already or will be met. 7. [14-302(A)(4)&(5)] Private Easements; Public Easements. If the existing roads or trails within the subject parcels have easements provide all required information on those easements. 8. [14-302(A)(4)&(5)] Private Easements; Public Easements.

[14-302(A)(7), 14-303(C)&(E)] Existing and departing lot lines; Boundary lines; Dimension standards and information on all lots, streets, alleys, easements, and shared driveways. Address the following comments: • Show existing lot lines and proposed lot lines for the new greenway special lot in a way that differentiates them. • Add existing and proposed lot lines to the legend. • It appears that some of the boundary bearing and distance labels are missing for TMP 62-2c and the proposed greenway lot on Sheets No. V3, V4, & V5. Ensure that all bearing and distance labels for the lots are provided. • Point "A" specified in note #5 does not appear to be shown on the plat. Show and label Point "A» • If the boundary lines within the river, including those between Point "A" and Point "B, are meant to represent the center of the river then add leader lines from the labels for the center line of the river to the lines representing the center of the river. The labels are not located close enough to the lines for this to be obvious. 10. [14-302(A)(7)] The line work on the coversheet, for both the vicinity map and the existing features of the larger site, are not legible. Increase is darkness and/or width of lines so that they can be distinguished on the plat even when copied or scanned. 11.

Provide all required information on residue lots created by the special lot. The creation of the special lot will result in the creation of two residue lots form TMP 62-2C. However, these residue lots are not labeled, dimensioned, or calculated. They must also be shown to be code compliant or they need to be combined with another existing lot. 12. [14-302(A)(9) & 14-406] Building sites on proposed lots; Remnants. Provide a "Building Sites:" note to specify that the residue of parcel TMP 62A3-1 contains a building site which complies with the CODE. The two areas of residue of TMP 62-2C would not contain a building site. Provide all required information on residue parcels and ensure all resulting parcels can meet code requirements. 13. [14-302(A)(15) & 14-314] Identification of all owners and certain interest holders; Identification of all interest of the County in property.

Specify who will be the owner of the proposed grading and access easement. Add a note that specifies that the Greenway special lot is to be dedicated to the County for public use. 14. [14-302(B)(5)] Zoning classification. Revise note 8 to specify that TMP 62-2C is zoned NMD and that TMP 62A3-1 is split zoned as both R4 and NMD. 15. [14-302(B)(6)] Tax Map and Parcel Number. On the coversheet, when specifying the name and addresses of the owners of the lots, include information on both TMP 62-2C and TMP 62A3-1 since both of these lots are impacted by this special lot plat. 16.
