Staff Concerns Plan/Proffer Revisions
1 Rezoning is not fully consistent with Lake Frederick
UDA regarading the mix of commercial vs. residential
uses
Land Bay #1 has been revised to remove residential uses . This will align Land Bay #1 exactly with
the Comp. Plan (30 acres of MUCO). In addition, residential density has been lowered to 596 units .
This is a significant reduction in residential density when compared to the initial submission (866
lots). This revision aligns the project exactly with the Comp Plan (4 units per ac. residential and 30 ac.
of commercial).
2 Rezoning is not fully consistent with Lake Frederick
UDA regarading the restriction to portions of the
commercial area to "medical uses"
Land Bay #1 has been separated into 2 sections (1A and 1B), Section 1B is now restricted to only
medical uses allong with retail uses that serve medical uses .
3 Plan policy envisions residential uses as an
accessory component of a neighborhood village
commercial center, per proffer, up to 375 residences
can be constructed prior to any commercial
development
Proffer has been revised to phase commercial development threshold as described in the previous
proffers. Revised proffer allows up to 200 residential units prior to the development of 10,000 sf of
commercial and up to a project total of 300 residential units prior to the development of a total of
20,000 sf of commerical.
4 The building materials included in the proffer
statement do not fully commit to high quality
building materials. The Plan envisioned "quality of
construction" to match the existing Lake Frederick
community
Residential exhibit has been revised include examples from the Lake Frederick Neighborhood. Proffer
has been revised to require multiple façade materials.
5 Physical improvements are preferred to cash
contributions for traffic impacts. Justification should
be provided if a proportional share of the
improvements are being proposed.
Proffer has been revised, Developer to install TIA recommended improvements at the White Oak/277
intersection.
Planning Commissioner Concerns** Plan/Proffer Revisions
6 Building Height (Modification alllow age-restricted
housing to be 60 ft in height)
The design modification request for a height increase has been removed.
7 Overall Development Density (4 units per ac. per R-4
requirement)
Residential density has been reduced to 4 units per ac.
8 More detailed phasing plan should be provided Phasing proffer has been revised to limit residential units to 150 units per year.
9 Overall traffic concerns on Rt. 277 With proposed revisions (reduction in residential uses), proposed connectivilty to the Lake Frederick
Community, and limitation of Landbay 1B to medical uses, trips to and from Rt. 277 will be reduced
when compared to the previsous proffers and GDP.
10 Would like to see drawings for medical uses Detailed plans are not available for the proposed development; however, examples of simliar medical
buidlings constructed in other communities can be provided as an example of what is anticipated to
be constructed.
11 Would like to see uses in the commercial area that
compliment medical uses
There are a variety of uses that we feel are complimentay to medical uses, such as skilled nursing or
assisted living facilities that are allowed in B1 and B2 zoning categories.
12 Would like to see a chart that lists all concerns and
how that have been addressed
This document is intended to meet this request.
13 Request that design teams continue coordinating
with staff
Staff coordination has been and continues to be of high importance to the design team. Multiple
meetings and calls have occurred since the first Planning Commission meeting.
LF Neighborhood Concerns** Plan/Proffer Revisions
14 Would like to see buffers provided where proposed
developemt is adjacent to Lake Frederick
Although a buffer is not likely to be required by code because similar uses are proposed as Lake
Frederick, a proffer has been added to provide a 25' buffer in Landbay #3 adjacent to the Lake
Frederick development (location depicted on revised GDP). Existing woodlands shall remain within
the 25' buffer , with limited disturbance permitted for the installation of utility and stormwater
infrastructure.
15 Would like to see more details of what is being
proposed
Detailed plans are not available as residential units mixes and commercial uses have not been
determined at this point in the planning process. More detail will be provided at the MDP phase if
rezoning is approved.
16 General stormwater concerns/ runoff There is a 35' code required stream buffer for the main drainage leading from the proposed
development to Lake Frederick. For the length of steam, this buffer equals about 5 ac. of land. This
buffer will be adhered to and in addition, approx. 37 acres of additional buffer area shall be provided
to provide for even more stream protection. Over 7 times the required buffer will be provided along
the primary Lake Frederick drainage leading from the project. In addition, all drainage from the
proposed development shall meet local and state stormwater quantity and quaility requirements that
regulate the detention of the 10 yr. design storm and filtering of runoff.
17 Concerned about public service/ school impacts Project is providing 100% of requested funding per CapIM.
