Dear Sir:
Department of Community Development has reviewed the above referenced site plan (dated 6-5-17) against applicable
Code of Development, Proffers, Application Plan, and other codes and ordinances. Comments are provided below;
however, additional comments or conditions may be added or eliminated based on further review.): [Each comment is

2. [ZMA201300012 Proffer 5] Construction of Steamer Drive Improvements. Provide the necessary and
required sidewalk and landscape strip along Steamer Drive adjacent to the Fire Station in Block C. It is
understood that the road plan (SUB2015-119) for this segment of road was already approved without the
sidewalk and only provided street trees; however, it appears this aspect of the plan was approved in error and
these improvements are required by proffer #5. Furthermore, fourteen (14) onstreet guest parking spaces are
proposed adjacent to this strip of land. These spaces shall be provided a sidewalk for safe movement of
pedestrians between the spaces and the use [Section 4.12.8(c)].
3. [4.12.5] Location of Parking Areas. All parking spaces shall be established on the same lot with the primary

a parking easement shall be provided over the portion of the space not on the lot it serves. Additionally, an
instrument assuring continuation of off-site parking shall be required prior to final plat/final site plan approval.
4. 132.5.2(a), 32.5.2(1)] Alleys. On the plan provide a note that states no public agency, including VDOT, and the

the alleys shall be dedicated and maintained by the HOA.

directional arrows on each alley to signify one way or two way traffic. Also, provide the widths of all streets.
6. [14-303(e)] Alleys. On the final plat depict and dimension an alley easement and label it as " feet Alley
Easement to Benefit Lots ". Also, provide a maintenance agreement for review and approval by the
County Attorney's office.
7, [4.12.6] Parking Requirements. Dimension the guest spaces. Provide striping that preserves the dimensions of
these spaces. The minimum dimensions for parallel parking spaces is 9'x20'.
8. IZMA201300012 Proffer 9] Affordable Housing. On sheet 2 relabeled the "Running Total" column in the
affordable housing tabulations chart to `Affordable Units Provided". Additionally, change how this column
functions, so that you bold the number of affordable units provided on this site plan. For blocks/phases yet to
be submitted/approved `Affordable Units Provided" should be left blank until it is submitted. For
blocks/phases previously approved the "Affordable Units Provided" should list how many were approved and
on what SDP/SUB#.
Also, relabel the chart as: Affordable Unit Tabulations (governed by Proffer #9) "
Also, designate which lots are the affordable units.
Also, under the chart provide a statement that reads: "The owner shall contribute cash to the County in the
amount of Twenty -One Thousand, One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($21,150) instead of constructing each required
affordable unit. Such payment shall be made after completion of the final inspection and prior to issuance of
the certificate of occupancy for any such unit for which payment in lieu of constructing affordable housing is
made. "
9. [ZMA201300012 Proffer 3] Route 250 and Eastern Entrance Improvements. "The owner shall either
construct left and right turn lanes on Route 250 at the eastern entrance to the property or bond these
improvements prior to approval of the first site plan or subdivision plat for the development "
Per recent conversations with Ana Kilmer the roads for this development have not been bonded. The above
shall take place prior to final site plan approval.
10. [Code of Development Section 3.41 Building Height Regulations. Provide the height of each proposed
townhome building.
11. [Code of Development Section 4.21 Covenants to Provide Architectural Review Committee. Prior to final site

13. [32.6.20)] Landscape plan. A landscape plan that complies with section 32.7.9 is required with the final site
plan.
14. [32.7.9.8] Tree Canopy. The tree canopy calculations for the site omit 4.565 acres of open space required
under section 4.7; however, these deductions cannot be duplicative in nature. Please label and depict which
areas the site contain the 4.565 acres of open space. The area being deducted and the area counted as tree
preservation area (2.344 acres) shall not be the same area, as this would be duplicative. If this is the case,
please revise the calculations to assure the site meets the required canopy calculations.
15. [32.7.9.4(b)] Existing trees may be preserved in lieu of planting new plant materials in order to satisfy the
landscaping and screening requirements of section 32.7.9, subject to the agent's approval. Because you intend
to use existing trees to satisfy some of the landscape plan requirements, please include the following:
1. Areas and other features shown on landscape plan. The landscape plan shall show the trees to be
preserved, the limits of clearing, the location and type of protective fencing, grade changes
requiring tree wells or walls, and trenching or tunneling proposed beyond the limits of clearing.
2. Conservation checklist. The applicant shall sign a conservation checklist approved by the agent to
ensure that the specified trees will be protected during construction. Except as otherwise expressly
approved by the agent in a particular case, the checklist shall conform to the specifications in the

amended.
16. [32.7.9.6] Parking Lot landscaping for Each Parking Area Having 5 or More Parking Spaces. Parking lot
landscape calculations shall be revised to account for 69 parking spaces. This number is being generated by all
the required parking spaces needed to facilitate the townhome lots (excluding townhomes with garages),
including guest spaces.
17. [32.7.9.6] Parking Lot landscaping for Each Parking Area Having 5 or More Parking Spaces. On sheet 7,
assure the parking lot calculations of 24,400 SF includes paved parking and vehicular circulation areas (alleys
and public streets w/ required guest parking). Additionally, this calculation references 1,220 SF of Canopy;
however, this calculation is not for canopy but instead for "required parking lot landscape area" (i.e. the
planting islands). Revise.
18. [32.7.9.5] Street Trees. Provide street tree calculations on the final site plan for all streets fronting the town
homes. Merely referencing the approved road plan is not adequate for the final site plan unless you apply for
and are approved for a site plan variation & exception to this requirement. If you choose to make the request,
see Section 32.3.5(a) for submittal information.
19. [Code of Development - Attachment B - sheet 7] Open Space and Recreational Plan.

The portions of this proposed development that fall within the EC aveday are either:
1. Single family detached dwellings, which do not require ARB review, or
2. Landscape buffer areas along Glenmore Way, which were reviewed with road plans, or
3. Wooded area with no proposed changes.
Consequently, no additional ARB review is required at this time.
