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 a waiver to the construction of the sidewalk is being requested and payment to be made into the general sidewalk fund.
LDC 6.13.2.B(6) - Freeboard
CODE states A minimum freeboard of six inches shall be provided for all retention/detention areas.
APPLICANT requests a waiver for the 6” of freeboard to the top of bank. The previously approved design and code requirements do not appear to have considered freeboard in 2000. Proposed design increases capacity such that freeboard is increased from 0" to 5.6" (86% of today's code) to the top of DRA. Existing conditions create additional burden for full compliance and design will greatly improve system capacity.

The buffer shall contain at least two shade trees and three accent/ornamental trees for every 100 lineal feet or fractional part thereof.
