(The following comments are those that have been identified at this time. 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. [14-302(A)(5)(6)(13)] List ownership of all proposed easements and open space areas. Rev1: Comment not addressed. List easement ownership for swm forest easement, variable width buffer easement, and greenway easement. Are you dedicating the greenway easement with this plat? If so, provide deed of dedication for county attorney review. Rev2: Comment not addressed. Easement can be dedicated during a future phase. If that is the intent, please clarify on the plat. 2. [14-302(B)(8)] Why are maximum front setbacks only shown on some lots? Minimum and maximum setback lines should be shown on all lots and listed in the notes on sheet 1. Rev1: Comment addressed 3. [14-317] Provide instrument evidencing maintenance of open space and any other improvements to be maintained by the HOA. Rev1: Comment addressed 4. [14-303(S)] Provide 4 control points as required. Rev1: Comment addressed 5. [Comment] Provide public bicycle/pedestrian access easement (via a sidewalk or multi-use path) between Saunders Hill Drive and Eastern Ave. Rev1: Comment not addressed. Site plan shows public access easement extending across the open space area for a sidewalk connection. Rev2: Comment not addressed. 6. [14-401] Lots 123-228 and 131-142 are double frontage lots. A special exception request for double frontage lots was submitted with the preliminary subdivision plat (SUB2017-205), but has not yet been approved. I have a the following questions/comments regarding this request: a. ZMA2016-05 requires that buildings be oriented towards public streets (see proffer language below). Evidence should be provided demonstrating that residences along Park Ridge and Eastern Avenue will have appropriate frontage treatments to comply with this proffer. b. The special exception request (attached) describes a 20’ buffer easement along Park Ridge Drive and a 2-3’ berm. Space for these features does not seem to be provided on the plat. Is this still the intention? Staff could be supportive of waiving this requirement if appropriate frontage treatments are provided. c. Front setbacks will be required (min 5’ and max 25’) along both fronts for all double frontage lots. Rev1: Comment addressed. I can approve this when the following items are complete: 1. Update the exhibit to include a plant schedule 2. Update the CC&R to include a section to address maintenance of the landscaping within the Variable Buffer Easement 3. Include the note below on the plat Rev2: awaiting CA review of revised CC&R A special exception for double frontage approved for lots 123-127 and 132-142 with the following conditions: 1.
