TRC Review
The following comments have been received for the December 15 2021 TRC meeting. Additional
comments may be made upon further review of subsequent revisions.
Please note: A revised plat addressing each of the below items must be resubmitted prior to
receiving major subdivision approval.
Planning, Julian Griffee 910-798-7444
1. Roadways:
a) Will there be access provided by way of a connection with Murray Woods
Road? This may affect NHC Fire.
b) Are the roads public or private?
2. Tree Survey:
a) Page C 1 depicts an inventory of trees that looks to align with the infrastructure
(stormwater and roadways). It is advised that a tree inventory be conducted for
all areas that are expected to be disturbed due to site improvements with this
proposal. This would verify that no significant trees exist in portions of the tracts of
land that will be developed. In the event that a significant tree is found, this may
warrant a variance or create a non-conforming lot situation.
b) Identify the species of trees, i.e. what type of pine? Depending on species and
measurement, a tree’s designation may change that would trigger other
requirements.
3. Tree Retention:
a) Please be aware that a Tree Removal Permit is required before the issuance of
any clearing, grading, building permits, and or other authorizations, UDO
Section 5.3.5.B.
b) Please note that there are optional incentives for retaining trees.

5.6.
6. UDO Section 5.2.3., please provide all NCDOT approvals upon receipt.

performance developments must dedicate 20% of the project area to open space.
9. Please add page to encompass the entire project bounds.
10. Please clarify the phasing as well.
11. Some lots are lacking square footage calculations.
12. Please verify block widths. Blocks shall not exceed 1,000 feet in length and need
verification that this is not being exceeded.
13. Is there an intention to connect to Murray Farms Road?
14. Are any traffic calming devices planned?

kiosk area. Kiosks shall be located in areas that will best allow for vehicle parking, which
shall be designed so as not to create pedestrian or vehicle safety issues.
16. Please delineate the open space areas.

1. A land disturbing and stormwater permit issued by the County will be required. Please
submit for permits as the design is completed.
2. Please provide details and/or grading information to ensure the backyard roofs for the
perimeter lots are directed to the pond. Similar design approaches used at other
developments have resulted in portions of the roofs bypassing the SCM.
3. Note, the extension and connection of Springer and Retriever Dr is to a private road not
maintained by NCDOT.

preliminary design for ditch and culvert improvements should be included should the
