Dear Devon:
Thank you for providing the opportunity to review this Master Development Plan (MDP).

a) Conceptual Plan and adjacent parcels. The MDP shall include the
subject property, as well as all contiguous land under single or common

as a phase of construction, a MDP will be required for Phase 2.
b) Utilities. The proposed location and arrangement of all proposed and
existing utility systems to serve the properties (interior). (§165-
801.05(C)(3)).
c) Topography. The existing contours are identified but the future
topography or proposed topography is not identified on the plan. (§165-
d) Roads, Streets, and Right-of-way. The MDP shall reflect all existing,
approved, or planned public roadways, streets or rights-of-way within
2,000 feet of the boundaries of the project.

of proposed buffers required by this chapter, with statements, profiles, cross
sections or examples, clearly specifying the screening to be provided shall
be provided on the MDP. (§165-801-05 (C)(6)). The additional plantings
are in addition to the landscaping requirements specified in §165-

additional landscaping shall include flowering plants and ornamental
grasses planted in mulch beds along the north side of the property line.
f) Sidewalks and Pedestrian Walkways. Safe pedestrian walkways shall be
provided to all uses on land included in a master plan or site plan approved
by Frederick County. Sidewalks and multi-use trails shall be provided in
conformance with adopted Comprehensive Plan policies for present and
future roadway classifications and/or approved master development plans.
Sidewalks shall be installed in the right-of-way and adjacent to the boundary
of the right-of-way of all proposed and existing streets and shall contain
adequate handicapped ramps at all intersections at intervals acceptable to
the Virginia Department of Transportation. There shall be a minimum two-
foot-wide grass strip or swale between the street edge and the sidewalk,
where sidewalks are required. Sidewalks shall be a minimum of five (5) feet
wide; multi-use trails shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet wide (§165-
203.02(D)). A 5-foot (FT) wide sidewalk is required along Costello Drive

landscaping, the 10’ wide hike/bike trail, the utility area, and the grass area
can be placed within the location specified on the Master Development
Plan.
