(TMP 32-22K1).pdf Greg/John, RE: SDP201800007-North Pointe Northwest Residential Area—Initial Site Plan Attached are the current site review committee(SRC) comments for the proposal. Please note comment/condition#1 in my letter addresses the preservation of the 30' and 50' easements from retaining walls, storm sewer pipes, and drainage pipes (in the rear yards of Lots 22-35). However, at this time the comment does not speak to the median strip, the sidewalks,the landscape strip, the building sites for lots 22-35, or the monument sign which are all proposed within the easements. Additionally, there is a portion of a private road, a fire hydrant, and the portion of the sanitary sewer lines which run through the easement. Prior to final action on the plans I would like to discuss these items with either you or John Blair to decide if I need to also include these items in the comment to be omitted from the access easements prior to action on the plans. 1)My initial thoughts are the median strip, the sidewalks, and the landscape strip do not need to be omitted from the private access easement because they are part of the proposed Lewis and Clark Drive (public road) being constructed with this section of North Pointe, nor do they prohibit use of the access easement. When the Korean Church comes in with a site plan,they would merely modify these elements to install an entrance. Provided VDOT is willing to grant such an entrance. The North Pointe files have a long history of VDOT not being willing to grant an entrance for the access easement in this location. Additionally, the VDOT reviewer verbally stated an entrance in this location does not meet corner clearances and would not be approved. We do not have an active site plan in for the Korean Church property, thus the subject of the approvability of such an entrance has not been our purview, nor VDOT's, nor the applicants. 2)The rear yards for lots 22-35 are current left within the temporary easement; however,the rear drainage lines on these lots shall be omitted. Can the rear yards remain in the temp construction easement void of drainage- lines? 3)The monument sign, the proposed private road, and the fire hydrant shall be added to my comments to be omitted from the private access easements. 4) What about the sewer line serving the development? Can this be permitted to stay within the private access easement? Below are snips from the site plan depicting the easement and proposed improvements. Also, I've CCed John Blair incase you want him to handle this. 1 4`I 'NOW ''.' ,pt,4;t .

Incheon objects to the Plan and asks that it not be approved as currently submitted. The Plan includes the construction of obstructions and encroachments to the access and construction easements serving the Incheon Property, which are of record in DB 1663, PG 648. Such obstructions and encroachments include, but may not be limited to, the median strip and other improvements associated with Lewis and Clark Drive, a monument sign, building sites 22-35, a sanitary sewer pipe, a storm water pipe, and a retaining wall. Incheon is willing to work with the County and potentially the applicant to address issues in the Plan, but Incheon must object to the Plan as currently submitted because it adversely impacts the above-referenced easements. Please do not hesitate to contact me or to have the County Attorney's Office contact me about this matter. Sincerely, WOODS ROGERS P C J.

Attached is a pdf of the proposed alternate design that we would like to move forward with, and apply for a variation. The benefits of this layout are as followed: 1. It responds better to the entrance corridor, having the fronts of the units face the corridor. 2. It creates the ability to integrate pocket parks and open space into the design 3. It allows us to eliminate many of the onsite retaining walls within the development. 4. It works better with the existing site topography and reduces the amount of earth moving by about 100,000 CY. 5. It still preserves all the existing open spaces, greenways, and conservation areas, and allows for additional open spaces within the development and around the project. Let me know if you need anything else to preliminary discuss the ability to move forward with this design as a variation. Thank you!
