Comment: Page 11 – I.B.16 – Section 5-1 Vegetated Buffers: <br />i. Number 1: As proposed, there is a 100 ft. ‘perimeter structure buffer’ along the <br />external western property line with allowances for parking/internal roads within <br />50 ft. of the western property line. <br />Consistent with the provisions of Section 6.8.12 (C) of the UDO, staff <br />recommends observing a 100 ft. perimeter buffer for the Project from western <br />and southern property lines that are adjacent to residentially zoned property. <br />Staff would agree with allowing trails and/or roadways within this area but not <br />parking areas. <br />ii. Number 3: Staff recommends a 30 ft. vegetative/landscape area separating the <br />Project from both the Service and Davis Road rights- of-way. As written, the <br />narrative references a 25 ft. 'land use buffer’ along Service Road and does not <br />mention Davis Road. <br />iii. Number 4: Please indicate buffers along all ‘water features’ (i.e. streams, <br />floodplain, wetlands, etc.) shall be preserved consistent with Section 6.13 of <br />the UDO. As an aside, required buffer is based on slope. There may be areas of <br />the Project where a 65 ft. stream buffer may be applicable versus an 80 ft. <br />buffer. <br /> <br />Response: i. In order to observe the recommended stream and floodplain buffers, the <br />perimeter buffers will remain as proposed. ii: A 30’ vegetative/landscape area separating the <br />project from Davis Road right-of-way will be included; iii: Narrative has been updated <br />accordingly. <br /> <br />34. Comment: Page 11 – I.C.1 – Master Plan Set: <br />1. Section 6.7.1 (B) (1) of the UDO requires a map of the development site. While the <br />master plan map set provides the majority of required detail(s), the submittal should <br />be modified as indicated: <br />i. Label and identify the various ‘lines’ on the submitted map(s). Specifically: <br />1. Internal and external property lines; <br />2. Internal rights-of-way; <br />3. Internal district or ‘pod’ development areas; <br />4. Utility lines/easements. Staff recommends the use of a legend <br />indicating what these lines represent (i.e. project boundary lines, utility <br />easements, utility service areas, rights-of-way, etc.). <br />ii. Sheet C-2 should display the floodplain and floodplain buffer area per <br />Section 6.13 of the UDO; <br />397
