LDC 6.8.6.K(1) - Buffering
CODE states A-Type buffer shall consist of a 30-foot wide landscape strip without a buffer wall. The buffer shall contain at least three shade trees and five accent/ornamental trees for every 100 lineal feet or fractional part thereof. Shrubs and groundcovers, excluding turfgrass, shall comprise at least 50 percent of the required buffer area and shall form a layered landscape screen with a minimum height of three feet achieved within one year of planting.
APPLICANT requests waiver because the Type A buffer modification is not possible due to space between he buildings and the west boundary line. The distance between boundary and building is less than 20 feet. We can replace/exchange the four trees per 100 if with ornamental trees at one to one. In addition, buried utilities service cannot be impaired by the tree roots.
LDC 6.12.12.D - Sidewalks
CODE states at the discretion of the Development Review Committee, in lieu of construction along external streets, the developer may pay a sidewalk fee to the County in an amount necessary to complete construction. This amount shall be determined by the project engineer and approved by the County with payment required prior to final plan approval. The County may use these funds toward the construction of sidewalks throughout the County based on priorities established by the Board.
APPLICANT requests waiver because there are no sidewalks in the developed adjacent lots and will have minimal service to the neighborhood. Client will pay fee-in-lieu of construction prior to final inspection to C.O.
