Dennis Evans, Mike Barr The Board of County Commissioners hereby denies approval of Woodgreen subdivision for twenty-five (25) residential lots as shown on the preliminary plat, dated February 9, 1998, and last revised December 29, .1998, as further revised with identification of septic system type received on or about August 16, 1999, and screening diagram received on or about Apri126, 1999, based on the following. 1. The development does not provide the minimum 33% open space required in Flexible Development since the applicant has not demonstrated that the land use buffers proposed along Moorefields Road and along the north boundary and a portion of the east boundary "screen the view of [theJ development and preserve the chazacter of the rural public roads" as required to satisfy criteria for Secondary Open Space.. Therefore, those buffers may not count towazd meeting the minimum open space requirement in Flexible Development. A sketch and area calculations demonstrating this are attached to this Resolution and made a part of it. 2. The submitted landscape plan does not provide the following items needed to meet requirements of Orange County Subdivision Regulations Section 1V-B-8-b: a) designation of tree protection areas accompanied by a note stating, "Existing trees will be preserved to meet the landscape requirements of Section IV-B-8-d-1 of the Orange County Subdivision Regulations." The only tree protection azeas shown on the plat are within the 100 year flood plain and the adjacent stream buffer. No other tree protection areas are indicated. There is nothing on the landscape plan stating that or showing how existing trees will be preserved. b) the location of berms, walls, and fences with an indication of their height and construction materials: the plat indicates a "220' area of open space to have a planted 6' high berm and the applicant(s) submitted a separate diagram (Alternative Screening Along Moorefields Road To Be Used Instead of Berm) that shows two 30' sections of fencing and gives lengths and depth of fencing but does not indicate height nor fencing materials. A letter, dated June 3, 1999, from the applicant(s) attorney states that the "clients plan to have wooden fencing along the two entrances off of Moorefields Road, and similar fencing at the comer of Dimmocks Mill Road and running the entire length of Dimmocks Mill Road. However, none of the proposed fencing shown contains sufficient specifications to demonstrate necessary requirements of the landscape plan are met.
