Subject: Comments for SDP2018-0068 and SUB2018-00159 - Pleasant Green Phase 1
The following comment is provided from the Zoning Division regarding the above -noted
application.
1. Access Issue
a. Emergency access to the proposed development. The proposed development
may need to provide emergency access through adjacent properties that is
subject to conditions of a Special Use Permit (SP1990-00103). The adjacent
properties have partially been developed, and further development of the
residue of those properties may only happen by meeting condition #2,
specifically, the second sentence of Condition #2 highlighted below;
• This stream crossing shall be constructed to provide access to
the 30 lots in the Crozet Crossing subdivision. No development
of residue property or access to adjacent properties is
allowed until second access is provided to Orchard Drive.
The development referred to in this condition is the development of the residue
of the properties subject to the noted SP. Today those subject properties are
identified as Parcel IDs 055CO-030-00-00AO, 055CO-03-00-OOOA1, 056A1-01-
00-02500, and 05600-00-00-11500.
The proposed development with this SDP and SUB does not include the
development of the properties subject to the SP. Providing an emergency
access travelway to Cling Lane which would pass through portions of Parcel
I Ds 055CO-030-00-00AO and 056A1 -0 1 -00-02500 does not constitute
"development" of the property in the context of that word in Condition #2 of SP
1990-00103 thus would not trigger the need for providing a second access to

Orchard Drive. The access referred to in Condition #2 means full vehicular
access, via an approved street, by the lots that have been developed on the
properties subject to the SP as noted above. Access does not mean
emergency access, via an approved travelway, by emergency vehicles to or
from an adjacent property where said access would be appropriately limited for
emergency vehicles only.
