Rev1: Comment addressed

easement location.
[18-13.4.1] Include a table to track units built within each phase showing units, total acreage and
density. Also include cumulative bonus density calculations for the whole development (all phases
platted to date).

percentage; acreage and percentage of open space within flood plain.

Planning Commission approval. If this bonus density is to be applied to this phase of development then
Planning Commission approval will be required prior to plat approval. Confirm that public access
easement is properly dedicated with this plat.
Rev1: Applicant has removed mention of this bonus density from the plat, except for note 17. Delete
note 17 if this bonus density for road improvements is not applicable to this phase of the
development.

New Comments
General Comments:
14. The Comprehensive Plan Rural Area Boundary has changed since the time of the approval for the
preliminary plat for this project. Please consult GIS Web to see new Rural Area boundary location.
Note that additional land is now included in the Development Area (fewer acres in Rural Area) and this
will change area and density calculations on sheet 2.
15. Road Plans for Wintergreen Farm currently under review propose a multi -use path along Sunset
Avenue Extended. The trail easement should be shown on the plat or a separate easement plat will be
required. A deed of easement and maintenance agreement will also be required for the easement.
16. Can open space lots be joined with open space in previous phase? If so, combine the following and
revise boundary lines accordingly:
a. Common Open Space 1-II and Common Open Space 1
b. Common Open Space 1D and Common Open Space 1A
Sheet 1:
17. Note 15 — include Entrance Corridor overlay in zoning note. Remove Flood Hazard Overlay.
18. Note 15 Setbacks — Minimum side setback is 10'. Revise note, show side SBL.
19. Note 17 — This note can be deleted
20. Note 19 — reference deed book and page number for open spaces 1D & 1E
Sheet 5:
21. More clearly delineate boundaries of Common Open Space 1-II.
