Type: condition Title: Greenway Dedication Description: See rezoning comments memo. This parcel is on the MCPR Greenway Master Plan. MCPR requests the petitioner dedicate and convey or provide a greenway and storm water easement to Mecklenburg County which would include a minimum of the 100’ SWIM Buffer of Stewart Creek for future greenway trail. The easement area should exclude built structures. If the existing structure remains, MCPR requests an alternative bicycle/pedestrian connection between the dedicated SWIM buffer area and the W. Trade Street public ROW. In addition, MCPR requests a minimum of 60’ easement between the greenway trail dedication area and the development ROW to provide an access for residents of the development.

Type: condition Title: design standards. Description: I believe that raised entrances are important in creating a sense of security throughout the site, not just those that have entrances along a drive. the entryways facing a shared courtyard are closer than you'd ever have them if they were facing on opposite sides of the street. Porches naturally create connections with neighbors and a safer community experience. I'd recommend that it is a dominant design feature of each unit. a 2-foot stoop is still a usable dimension so it doesn't have to be a 6-foot deep porch. I also don't care for the 3/8 selection method but appreciate the flexibility you're trying to bake in. Can you determine what is most important? The units plan north that have garages with shallow drives should likely have some sort of garage treatment as well. gables, corbelling, recesses or transparency is all acceptable.

Type: condition Title: Storm Water Impacts Description: This property drains to Irwin Creek, which is an impaired/degraded stream, and may contribute to downstream flooding. This project has the opportunity to mitigate future impacts to this stream, therefore, Storm Water recommends placing the following notes on the plan:
(I) Storm Water Quality Treatment
For defined watersheds greater than 24% built-upon area (BUA), construct water quality stormwater control measures (SCMs) designed for the runoff generated from the first 1-inch of rainfall for all new and redeveloped BUA associated with the project. SCMs must be designed and constructed in accordance with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg BMP Design Manual.
(II) Volume and Peak Control
For defined watersheds greater than 24% built-upon area, control the entire volume for the 1-year, 24-hour storm for all new and redeveloped BUA associated with the project. Runoff volume drawdown time shall be in accordance with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg BMP Design Manual.
For commercial projects with greater than 24% BUA, control the peak to not exceed the predevelopment runoff rates for the 10-yr, 6-hr storm and perform a downstream flood analysis to determine whether additional peak control is needed and if so, for what level of storm frequency, or if a downstream analysis is not performed, control the peak for the 10-yr and 25-yr, 6-hour storms.
For residential projects with greater than 24% BUA, control the peak to not exceed the predevelopment runoff rates for the 10-year and 25-year, 6-hour storms or perform a downstream analysis to determine whether peak control is needed, and if so, for what level of storm frequency.
Staff is available to discuss mitigation options prior to the rezoning plan approval should the project have practical constraints that preclude providing the above referenced stormwater management.
