The MDP shall address drainage level of service issues on an individual lot basis.

DE C&O #03 Eng & Insp Fees

All Engineering Plan Review and Inspection Fees shall be paid prior to approval of the associated engineering plans and prior to the issuance of any infrastructure permits or the start of construction (excluding land disturbance permit).

A restriction note shall be included on the final plat stating: “Individual lot owner(s) shall not change or obstruct the drainage flow paths on the lots, as shown on the Master Drainage Plan, unless specific application is made and approved by the City Engineer."

DE C&O #12 Cut & Fill

Any cut and / or fill operations, which cause public infrastructure to exceed the maximum / minimum depths of cover shall be mitigated by relocating the infrastructure vertically and / or horizontally to meet the specifications contained within the City’s Design and Construction Manual.

All ADA sidewalk ramps shall be constructed by the developer at the time the street is constructed.

DE C&O #14 Common Area Sidewalks

All sidewalks adjacent to a common area tract, unplatted land or any land where no structure is intended to be built, and is required, shall be constructed by the developer at the time the street is constructed.

Dead Ends

IFC 503.2.5 - Dead-end fire apparatus access roads in excess of 150 feet (45 720 mm) in length shall be provided with an approved area for turning around fire apparatus. The turnaround shall meet Public Works Design and Construction requirements.

ROW/Easement dedication along Scherer Road adjacent to the development as may be necessary for the Scherer Road capital improvement project planned and funded by the City. ROW/Easement dedication will be required as a condition of approval and provided as needed at such time as the project proceeds.

The intersection of Scherer Road and Heartwood Drive does not have adequate sight distance to support additional development impacts without mitigation and the current all-way stop is not a typical or ideal traffic control for Scherer Road, an arterial, at a residential street intersection. The City has a planned capital improvement project that will mitigate the sight distance issue and change the traffic control to more appropriate conditions. Until such time as the sight distance issue is mitigated, the development should be phased to proceed with exception of lots adjacent to and associated with the extension of Heartwood Drive from Scherer Road to Winthrop Drive; which shall remain incomplete/deferred and funds provided via escrow for its construction by developer. This recommendation is consistent with the improvement needs identified for Woodland Glen subdivision initial development approvals.

At a minimum, conceptually illustrate how Lot 10 and Lot 11 may be subdivided and provided access in the future from the internal subdivision local roadways (no lot access will be permitted from Ward Road or Scherer Road in the vicinity of Lot 10 or Lot 11). A plan should be provided to ensure these properties are not land locked and further subdivision is still possible (in comparison to previously approved plans).

Sheet C1.0: Relocate the Tract D label for clarity.

Sheet C1.0: What is the note regarding potential land for Tract D referring to?

Sheet C1.0: The scale is incorrect. Please revise.

Show and label existing water lines.

Show and label all proposed easements.

Clarify the plat boundaries. The line weights make it hard to delineate.

The temporary turnaround shown is in conflict with the Lot 11 proposed villa.

Stormwater Management Report: Since this is a new PDP, the current stormwater design requirements apply. These requirements may be built with the project or existing might be able to be used. If you choose to utilize the existing, you’ll have to show that it is sized correctly for this project with the new requirements as well as the original project at the requirements in place when constructed.

SCALE. The scale bar on Sheet C1.0 is incorrect. This sheet is drawn at a 100' scale, not 50'.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION. The legal description is broken out as five separate tracts, but the limits of those tracts are not discernable on the drawing. Clearly identify the boundaries of each tract on the drawing.

BOUNDARY DIMENSIONS. - The plan boundary dimension (not the individual lot dimensions) adjacent to Lots 11-13 that back up to Ward Rd is not listed. - The listed eastern plan boundary dimension (1178.31') that runs north from Scherer Rd is incorrect. The actual dimension is in excess of 1200'.

Legal Description

Miscellaneous Correction

BUILDING LINES. Show and label the building lines for Lots 1-17 of the single-family portion of the development.

EASEMENTS. Show and label the utility easements on Lots 1-17 of the single-family portion of the development.

TRACT D. Is the intent for Tract D to be owned and maintained by the HOA, or will it be dedicated to the City is some manner?

LOTS 11 AND 12. Is the intent for these two lots to remain as large acreage lots for the purpose of constructing a single-family home on each lot, or is the intent to further subdivide the lots in the future?

SIDEWALKS. - Revise Note #15 to indicate that sidewalks shall be required on both sides of the street in the villa area of the development. - Sidewalks shall be constructed by the developer in those areas along the street in front of common area tracts and unplatted property. These sidewalks shall be installed at the time that infrastructure is constructed.

REZONING. Provide a separate sheet/exhibit and legal description for the property that is being rezoned.

VACATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY. For your information, the portion of ROW shown to be vacated will require submittal of a separate application. The ROW will need to be vacated prior to the approval of a plat for the affected area.

RIGHT-OF-WAY WIDTH. Label the ROW widths for SW Winthrop Dr, SW Ward Rd and SW Scherer Rd.

TEMPORARY TURNAROUND. The limits of the turnaround at the north end of Winthrop Terrace conflict with the placement of the attached villa on Lot 11.

REAR SETBACK. Lot 8 doesn't meet the 20' rear yard setback due to the irregular shape of the lot.

LANDSCAPING. The landscaping requirements of the UDO do not apply to single-family and duplex developments, so no modification is needed to the tree caliper size that is called out on Sheet L1.0
