Also,on the site plan provide deed book page reference information for a temporary easement which
allows grading on his property outside of the 50' access easement.Also,it appears the entrance to the site
requires sight distance easements on his property as well.Notably a draft easement plat was provided in
the final site plan package for informational purposes; however,an application and review fee was not
submitted.Please officially submit this easement plat for County review/approval,and if applicable assure
the above mentioned items are depicted on that plat.
Additional questions: on the plat why is the access easement labeled as "New 50'public access easement—
hereby dedicated to public use"?Is the access road/travelway serving the park proposed to be a public roadway
accepted and maintained by VDOT?During a recent phone call with VDOT(Justin Deel)he stated that they did
not review this roadway as a public road and would not accept the roadway in its current design. If the applicant's
intention is to continue with a public road serving the park,please clearly label the roadway as such and discuss
this with VDOT prior to a resubmittal. Otherwise on the plat relabel the access easement as "New 50'Access
Easement to Serve Briarwood's Primary Recreation Area"and revise the site plan to appropriately label it as an
