Re: Tarin Woods II – Performance Subdivision
Mr. Yopp:
At the January 13, 2016 Technical Review Committee (TRC) meeting, the TRC conditionally
approved the preliminary plat for Tarin Woods II, a performance residential development consisting
of 95 lots. The vote by the TRC was 5-0 with the following conditions:
1) No gates, traffic calming devices, or on-street parking shall be provided unless reviewed
and approved by the TRC.
2) Documentation from the USACOE must be provided verifying the location of the wetlands
illustrated on the plat prior to final plat approval.
3) A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) will be required for the next development of the parcel
(R07600-004-052-000). The TIA must contain the 95 lots included in Tarin Woods II.
4) The preliminary plat must be updated to include/correct the following items:
a. Addition of the 25’ COD setback line from the preserved Class IV soils.
b. Addition of a note establishing the reservation of an easement for the temporary
turnarounds, with further language clarifying the easement will cease and revert to
the adjacent property owner upon the extension of the street; and that in the event
the turnaround becomes permanent, the easement must convert to a right-of-way and
the turnaround must be paved to the County’s standards.
c. The right-of-ways must be reduced to 45’ to comply with the local street standards.
The application further requested a waiver from the cul-de-sac length standards of the County’s
Subdivision Ordinance. The TRC reviewed the request and made the following determination:
Chris O’Keefe, AICP
Planning & Inspections
Director
Dennis Bordeaux
Inspections Manager
Ken Vafier, AICP
Planning Manager
-2-
The TRC determined that due to the existing environmental features of the property, the
Canopy Way cul-de-sac is exempt from the maximum length standards of the subdivision
ordinance.
Please note that additional local, State, and Federal regulations may be applicable to the Tarin
Woods II development.
Attending the meeting were Chairman Jordy Rawl (Planning Board) along with voting members
Brad Schuler (Planning/Inspections staff), David Candela (County Engineering), Bill McDow (WMPO),
and Tom Sosebee (County Fire). Also attending the meeting were Sam Burgess, John Townsend, and
Ben Andrea (Planning/Inspections staff), Kent Harrell (CFPUA), Wallace Gray (AT&T), Sharon
Huffman (County Attorney’s Office), Howard Resnik (Coastal Site Design), and you.
Please remit eight (8) full size paper copies of the Tarin Woods preliminary plat meeting the
applicable conditions above for the TRC Chairman signature. Contact me if you have questions at
