Tax parcels 626-04-01-020 & -021, 626-04-01027 & -028 and 626-04-01-029 & -030. Mr. Hawkins presented the staff report. The applicant, Cynthia M. Bickel, 310 Skyview Drive, Catawba, stated that since commercial zoning was located on three sides, she felt that this property should also be commercial. She has not been able to sell the house as residential. There were no questions or comments from the audience. Mrs. Easley presented the motion to recommend approval of the application as presented. Mrs. Thomas seconded, and the motion carried by a vote of 6-0. 3.

This property is proposed to be annexed into the City of Rock Hill. Tax map number 662-00-00-022. Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 August 5, 2014 Mr. Hawkins presented the staff report. Mr. Christopher asked if the redevelopment would create the need for shared parking with adjacent property owners of if parking would be independent and if a road could be created behind all the properties. Mr. Hawkins stated that parking was independent currently, and that they had looked at the possibility of connecting the properties by a road behind all the properties. He noted that when property where the Cookout restaurant was redeveloped, the stub-out was constructed in order to allow for this connection. He added that this would require the cooperation of all the property owners. Brian Russell, applicant’s representative, 2553 Cherry Road, stated that this Waffle House had been in place for over thirty years, and that a new one was needed in order to meet current standards. He added that the request to build a road behind the building could be presented to the Waffle House Corporation for consideration, but would also require the cooperation of adjacent property owners. Mr. Christopher asked if the new building would be the same size or larger than the current one. Mr. Russell stated that it would actually be slightly smaller than the current building but provide the same level of service. There were no further questions or comments from the audience. Mrs. Thomas presented the motion to recommend approval of the application as submitted. Dr. Robinson seconded, and the motion carried by a vote of 6-0. NEW BUSINESS 5. Consideration of a request by Keck & Wood, Inc. for Major Site Plan approval for The Arbors at Manchester Village (Formerly “Apartments at Seven Oaks”). (Plan #20140301) Mr. Hawkins presented the staff report. Mr. Christopher asked for details on what the legal determination would address. Mr. Hawkins stated that it is to be determined if the 20% open space and tree save area would be required for each of the three parcels or if it could be combined for the overall development project. Mr. Roper asked if the tree save area included the detention pond area. Mr. Hawkins stated that it is included as part of the percentage. The applicant, Tony Berry, 4701 Old Course Drive, Charlotte, was available to answer questions and provide an overview of the proposed project. He noted that he had met with the neighbors and that the plan presented took their concerns into consideration. Mr. Roper asked if the access points would line up with the drives across Springsteen. Mr. Berry stated that they lined up the drives as best they could in order to meet road separation requirements since they are unable to access Seven Oaks Boulevard. He noted the realignment of Evelyn Drive and the required left-turn lane that would be constructed. Mr. Berry presented an overview of the proposed project, noting specifically the added security measures that are planned including key-card building entrance access, interior entry into apartments, and security cameras. He noted that the complex will be marketed Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 August 5, 2014 more towards senior citizens, families, and single-parent families. In addition, he stated that the architecture was designed to tie into that of the Manchester Village area with a more urban feel. He stated that he hoped an agreement regarding the stormwater easement could be reached, and added that the plan was to reduce stormwater drainage going into the Seven Oaks system. With reference to the tree canopy and open space calculation issue, if the three parcels are considered as a combined development site, the tree canopy and open space provided exceeds the requirements. He provided overviews of the floor plans, noting that the layouts are more like house plans. Mr. Christopher asked if cisterns or pervious pavers had been considered during the stormwater design phase. Mr. Berry stated that they had not. John Gast, Keck & Wood (project engineer), 215 Hampton Street, Rock Hill, was present to answer questions about the stormwater issues. He noted that they would have to do some water quality measures depending upon the wetland jurisdiction determination of the pond. Mr. Roper asked about the wetlands determination. Mr. Gast explained that a wetlands scientist would submit a package to the Army Corps of Engineers to determine if the pond can be used as a detention pond site, or if they would have to take measures to send only clean water to the pond. Mr. Roper asked about the previous determination of the pond as it showed up on the National Wetlands Inventory. Mr. Gast stated that a determination would still have to be made. Mr. Christopher asked if the elevations presented were final. Mr. Berry stated that it is very close to what is required by the City’s design standards. Mr. Roper allowed members of the audience to speak on this subject, providing the usual guidelines. Larry Soles, 1806 Springsteen Road, spoke in opposition of the plan, noting the increase in traffic congestion during the Christmas holiday season. He added that the pond under discussion had been deeded by Mr. Flint to Sturgis Estates for the community’s use. Milton Delair, 1686 Essex Hall Drive, expressed his concern over the stormwater calculations, noting that the detention pond in Seven Oaks is inadequate and unable to contain stormwater overflow. He noted that the current building elevations were much better than previous submittals. He also noted that since the apartments would back up to Essex Hall Drive and Craven Hill Drive, a good buffer should be required to protect those neighbors. John Dattilio, 1670 Shetland Lane, noted his concern over decreased property values and the increase in crime associated with apartment complexes. He also stated that he had been told by the developer that the lots were to be developed as townhomes. Kevin Sutton, 636 Atherton Way, spoke regarding the need to have planned developments within the City in order to protect the interests of adjacent property owners. He also stated that the pond on Evelyn Street had been purchased by the developer in order to meet the tree canopy and open space requirements and that something doesn’t seem right with that. Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 August 5, 2014 Irene Uhl, 1654 Essex Hall Drive, stated that she appreciated that the apartments would not be accessed by Seven Oaks Boulevard but that she had concern that the apartments would not be architecturally consistent with the Seven Oaks neighborhood. Allen Wellmaker, 637 Wildwood Drive, noted his concern that the access points for the apartment complex should all be from Springsteen Road, not from Evelyn Drive. Mr. Roper stated that the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) would not approve having all entrances off Springsteen Road. Martha Hunsucker, 658 Charles Lane, stated her opposition noting the increase in traffic and crime and decrease in property values. John Cross, 1619 Essex Hall Drive, expressed concern over the treatment of the Seven Oaks Boulevard entrance, especially in reference to the removal or destruction of existing landscaping that may fall outside the Seven Oaks HOA ownership. Mohammed Albaba, 1698 Hopalong, stated that he owned the Yorkmart Convenience Store at Springsteen and Anderson Roads, and noted his concern over the increase in crime. He stated that he owned property in Seven Oaks but that he was concerned about constructing a house at this time due to crime and decrease in property values. In response to these concerns, Mr. Berry reiterated the security measures that would be in place as well as the requirement by potential residents to complete credit and reference checks. He also stated that a unit would be offered to a City of Rock Hill police officer at a reduced rate, provided the officer drove their vehicle on site and assisted in any incidents. He also noted that the way the property will be managed would create a quality product. Mr. Berry stated that the SCDOT and the City required that only one access point was allowed off Springsteen with the other being off Evelyn. He noted that he would prefer to see only one access point off Springsteen but that with the number of units proposed, two accesses were required. He stated he was willing to work with the neighborhood to address the landscaping plans, and that they were not intending to make any changes to the existing landscaping along Seven Oaks Boulevard. He also noted that it was rumored the pond would be drained and stated that this was not so, that he believed it would be used for stormwater retention purposes. Dr. Robinson asked if the design proposed was a standard design and how this would blend in with the surrounding community. Mr. Berry stated that in order for the apartments to blend in, it would require the addition of a hipped roof which would add 810 feet to the height of the buildings. He also noted that since the buildings will be located closer to Springsteen and Evelyn, this would create a more imposing structure. Mrs. Thomas asked where the entrances to each unit would be located. Mr. Berry stated that each apartment will be accessed from an internal hallway and that the balconies will be provided along the outside only as an amenity, not an entrance. Mrs. Thomas asked about the unit sizes. Mr. Berry stated that the one bedroom units will be 768 square feet, the two bedroom will be 1172 square feet, and the three bedroom will be 1274 square feet. Dr. Robinson asked Mr. Berry to address the concern about buffers for the homes that Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 August 5, 2014 back up to the proposed apartments. Mr. Berry stated that one of the buildings that backs up to the homes will be two stories due to its proximity to the single-family lots, the garage buildings will serve as a buffer, the landscaping will meet City standards, and a solid vinyl or wood fence will surround the property. Mr. Christopher asked about the possibility of the complex becoming condos in the future. Mr. Berry stated that they could become condos in the future and will be built to specifications that will allow the conversion. Dr. Robinson asked why condos weren’t considered for this proposal. Mr. Berry stated that there was no market for condos at this time and that financing is difficult to attain for condos. Mrs. Easley asked for clarification on the Planning Commission’s responsibility for this review. Mr. Roper stated it was mainly to determine if the plans met the zoning requirements. Mr. Graham stated that the main issues he heard from the neighbors were traffic, stormwater, buffers, building design, and crime. He noted that the main issues that could be addressed by the Commission were the provision of adequate buffers and traffic. He asked Mr. Hawkins if a traffic study had been performed, and Mr. Hawkins stated that it had not. Mr. Berry added that in meeting with the SCDOT and the City, the SCDOT determined that not enough traffic was generated by the proposed development to require a traffic study. Mr. Graham noted that the portion of the site south of Seven Oaks Boulevard is elevated above Seven Oaks and encouraged the applicant to preserve some natural tree canopy in that area if there is an opportunity to do so. Mrs. Easley stated that she thinks as much as possible is being done to minimize the negative impact the development would have, including the security features and the building materials. Mrs. Easley presented a motion to approve the major site plan subject to the outcome of the wetlands determination for the pond, the legal review by the City attorney, resolution of the stormwater easement issue, and staff comments. Mr. Christopher seconded the motion. Mr. Christopher encouraged the design of adequate screening and addressing the stormwater issue. Mr. Roper called for a vote, and the motion carried by a vote of 6-0. 6. Other Business Mr. Graham asked that staff consider moving the August meeting date for future years in order to accommodate attendance at Neighborhood Night Out events. 7. Adjourn There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:58PM. Staff Report to Planning Commission M-2014-16 Meeting Date: September 2, 2014 E Petition by Silver Rock Hill, LLC to amend the Corporate Boulevard PUD Master Plan. The property is approximately 28.62 acres and is located at 774 Corporate Boulevard. Reason for Request: The applicant is requesting the amendment to allow indoor recreation uses and to create parking standards for that use. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments. SEE ATTACHED REPORT FOR MORE INFORMATION Case No. M-2014-16 Rezoning Analysis-Report to Planning Commission Meeting Date: September 2, 2014 Location: Corporate Blvd. PUD Site Area: Approximately 28.62 acres Request: Amend existing PUD Proposed Change: Allow for commercial indoor recreation uses Applicant: Dawan Feely Bounce Planet, USA 235 E. Main St., Ste. 130 Rock Hill, SC 29730 Proposal The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Corporate Blvd. PUD to allow for commercial indoor recreation uses and to create parking standards for that use. He is interested in opening a “bounce house” with after-school mentoring of children within the PUD at 774 Corporate Blvd. Ste. C-103 (a suite in a multi-tenant building). The PUD does not currently allow commercial indoor recreation uses. Please note that if this amendment were approved, all types of commercial indoor recreation could be allowed within the PUD, not just the applicant’s proposed “bounce house.” The Zoning Ordinance describes commercial indoor recreation as follows. Additionally, this request involves removing the commercial indoor parking measure of 1 space per every 400 square feet so that the use reverts back to the regular Ordinance measure, which is the greater of 1 per every 200 square feet or 1 per every 4 persons of occupant load. This measure appears to be a more realistic determination of parking need for indoor recreation uses. (For example, this particular tenant space is 3,300 square feet. If the parking measure currently in the PUD were used, that would mean that only 8 spaces would be allocated for this use. With an occupant load of 67, which is the occupant load of Rezoning Analysis-Report to Planning Commission M-2014-16 Page 2 the space for a commercial indoor recreation use, a more realistic number is the 16 that would be required under the regular ordinance standards.) The proposed amendments are shown in the attached PD Terms & Conditions document. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Staff hereby certifies that the required public notification actions have been completed as follows: August 15: Rezoning notification signs posted on subject property. August 15: Rezoning notification postcards sent to 21 property owners within 300’ of the subject property. August 16: Planning Commission public hearing advertisement published in The Herald. Neighborhood Meeting A neighborhood meeting was held on August 7, 2014. Minutes of the meeting are attached. Please note that at the time of the meeting, the applicants advised that they may rent the facility to a religious institution, but that is no longer the case. Public feedback Anne Blake, 818 Wilkerson Road, called to express concerns about who received notices and who did not. Staff explained that we generate a list of properties within 300 feet of the property in question and notify those property owners. She also wanted to make sure that the commercial indoor recreation use would allow for neither adult entertainment nor an indoor firing range. Staff explained that it would not allow for either of those uses. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff Assessment The proposed use of commercial indoor recreation, provided that parking for the use is appropriately planned through the associated change in the parking measure, is compatible with the existing and allowed uses in the PUD as well as with existing uses in the surrounding area. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments to the Corporate Boulevard PUD.

Existing zoning is PUD. 2. Flex space shall be defined as the combination of office, showroom, and storage space for the purpose of the sale of goods and services to the general public. (i.e. material and service contractors, storage uses, and service providers, etc.) 3. Storage space will vary dependent upon the tenant’s needs. The storage space is not to exceed 85% of the total building area. Page 2 of 6 4. The total area of the PUD is approximately 28.57 acres (including road right-of-way). Parking Requirements: 5. All parking shall be as shown on this PUD plan. All parking shall meet the following minimum requirements: -1 space per 300 sf of office -1 space per 900 sf of warehouse for buildings less than 5000 sf -1 space per 1500 sf of warehouse for buildings greater than 5000 sf -1 space per 400 sf of commercial recreation, indoor -the total number of parking spaces is cumulative based on the variety of different functions present in a single use. -all other uses shall meet the requirements of Rock Hill Zoning Code. Note: 6. Corporate Boulevard shall be extended from its current terminus to a point 75’ from Wilkerson Road, as shown on the attached PUD Plan. This road construction shall be completed prior to issuance of Certificates of Occupancy for the existing 23,903 sq. ft. building. 7. At the same time as the extension of Corporate Boulevard by the developer, a twelve inch (12”) diameter water line will be installed by the developer along the extension of Corporate Boulevard to a point 75’ from Wilkerson Road, as shown on the attached PUD Plan. The water line will be capped at this point until it is extended by the City in the future to connect to the existing water line along Red River Road. The future extension by the City will take place when the Wilkerson Road/Corporate Boulevard intersection is re-aligned in conjunction with the CelRiver Road widening project. The costs of the initial 12” water line extension will be shared between the developer and the City of Rock Hill as follows: The City of Rock Hill will pay an amount equal to the cost of up-sizing the water line from eight (8) inches to twelve (12) inches. The initial estimate of this amount is $15,000 and is subject to change based on actual costs. Silver Investments Limited (or its successors or assigns) will pay an amount equal to one-half of the remaining cost of extending an eight inch (8”) water line in this location. The initial estimate of this amount is $37,500 and is subject to change based on actual costs. The City of Rock Hill will pay an amount equal to one-half of the remaining cost of extending an eight inch (8”) water line in this location. The initial estimate of this amount is $37,500 and is subject to change based on actual costs. The costs of the future extension to connect to the water line along Red River Road will be paid by the City. The developer is requesting City participation with this water line extension due to several factors, including: The proposed water line extension does not serve any other customers. Page 3 of 6 The developer’s site already has water; the water line extension is an improvement that City requested to complete a “loop” for system redundancy. The property that the developer is acquiring/developing is much smaller than that of the original PUD developer, and it cannot support the same off-site improvement costs. The developer will still bear the full expense of extending Corporate Boulevard, and will also expedite this work so it is completed when the existing building is ready for occupancy (i.e. prior to the current requirement). 8. Tax map numbers for this PUD are 662-07-01-082, 662-07-01-083, and 662-07-01084. 9. Project boundary was taken from Precision Surveying boundary dated April 3, 2006 and topographic data obtained from York County GIS data. Building Requirements: 10.

Building facades facing I-77 shall incorporate windows, door, or openings on at least 30% (per linear foot) of the first floor and 20% on upper floors and first floors of other sides visible from these two roads. 13. Roof lines will vary with the use of parapet wall or the roof line itself. 14. The maximum building height shall be 60 feet. PUD Notes: 15.

This site is not intended for pedestrian use. No sidewalks, pathways, or walkways are required that are not shown on this plan. 16. If the property is subdivided in the future, the developer shall set up a property owners association to ensure the maintenance of all open space, landscaping and other privately owned common facilities serving the project. Developer will record with the clerk of court a set of covenants and restrictions regarding use & maintenance of the property, which covenants and restrictions will incorporate the terms of this PUD. Property owners are jointly and severally liable for compliance with City of Rock Hill standards and regulations regarding common area/open space maintenance including, but not limited to, detention ponds, trees, and landscaping 17. All signage will be designed to meet the standards of the Rock Hill Zoning Ordinance and will be the subject of subsequent approvals. 18. Landscaping for all development and/or redevelopment after April 8, 2013 (date of approval of amended PUD Plan) will meet the current standards of the Rock Hill Zoning Ordinance. The tree retention areas will meet all city landscaping requirements. Required tree canopy retention is 3.04 ac. (15% of total tree canopy Page 4 of 6 on site.) Approximate area of remaining tree canopy within the PUD is 2.62 acres. The islands in front of the buildings on Tax Parcel 662-07-01-083 will be landscaped and are approximately 0.45 acres.

At the developers option, an 8' vinyl fence and landscaping, as allowed by code, is an opaque buffer. Note: 30' buffer to the right of Stock building at the end of the vinyl fence, is an opaque buffer. If requested by the adjoining land owner, an 8' vinyl fence may replace the 30' buffer. 23. Selective retention of existing tree cover will be utilized. Supplemental plantings will be used to meet landscaping standards.

Proposed Development: None- existing sewer lift station. Owner/Applicant: City of Rock Hill Site Description The subject property is the location of a City-owned sewer lift station. It is located on the northeast side of the City and is surrounded by property that was recently annexed into the City. Nearby uses include undeveloped property, single-family residential, and multi-family residential in residential zoning districts. Proposal Since the property is now contiguous to the City Limits, staff is proposing the annexation and rezoning. We believe it is important that the facilities and properties owned and operated by the City be included within our corporate limits so we have the ability to control or protect those properties and facilities. Existing Zoning District Summary Residential Development District I (RD-I)- The Residential Development I District is designed to permit a variety of residential uses and variable densities, based on the characteristics of the uses. Areas so designated are deemed suited to and with market potential for the uses. This designation is applied principally to undeveloped areas where unit and density flexibility will not adversely impact existing residential subdivisions, and where the housing market can be sufficiently broad and flexible to meet the various demands for housing. Permitted uses include single-family dwellings, schools, horticulture and some agricultural interests, neighborhood and community parks, churches, duplexes, multi-plexes, child care centers, and nursing homes. Proposed Zoning District Summary Single-Family Residential-3 (SF-3)- The SF-3 district is established as a district in which the principal use of land is single-family detached residential development at a moderate density. The regulations of this district are intended to discourage any use that would substantially interfere with the development of single-family detached dwellings and that would be detrimental to the quiet residential nature of the district. Complementary uses customarily found in residential zone districts, such as community facilities, religious institutions, parks and playgrounds, and elementary schools, are also allowed. The minimum lot area for development is fourteen thousand (14,000) square feet and the maximum density allowed is three (3) units per acre. Rezoning Analysis-Report to Planning Commission M-2014-17 Page 2 Zoning History of the Property and Previous Rezoning Cases in the Area The surrounding property was annexed into the City in June of this year (rezoning case #M-2014-08, Preserve at Catawba PD). PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Staff hereby certifies that the required public notification actions have been completed as follows: August 16: Rezoning notification signs posted on subject property. August 16: Rezoning notification postcards sent to two property owners within 300’ of the subject property. August 17: Planning Commission public hearing advertisement published in The Herald. Public Feedback No comments received to date. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff Assessment The proposed annexation and rezoning will prevent jurisdictional issues and bring a City-owned facility into the City Limits. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the proposed Single-family Residential-3 (SF-3) zoning.

Holly Road intersection. Property Owner: FBSA 1 LLC 215 North Pine Street Spartanburg, SC Project Contact: Wolverton & Associates, Inc. (Chris Manes) 6745 Sugarloaf Parkway, Duluth, Ga 30097 (770) 447-8999 Site Info: The site is currently undeveloped and largely wooded. It is located on a portion of the former Stonegate Development which was last approved by Planning Commission in May of 2007. Land Use Information: Type: Zoning: Land Area: Commercial/Retail General Commercial (GC) and Limited Commercial (LC) 26.64 acres Parking: Required: 758 spaces (1/250 s.f.) Proposed: 758 spaces Streets: The site is bordered by SCDOT roads on both sides. Saluda Street (Hwy 72/121) is classified as a principal arterial and Mt. Holly Road (Hwy 901) is classified as minor arterial. Vehicle access to the site will come from both streets with four access points, two of which will be full-access. Pedestrian Access: Sidewalks currently exist along Mt. Holly Road and the developer will install sidewalks along Saluda Street. Pedestrian access will be provided from the storefront to both streets. Open Space: Required: 3.15 acres (15%) Provided: 3.37 acres Landscaping: A landscape plan is currently under revision by the applicant. The plan will need to demonstrate compliance with landscape requirements including streetscape, building foundation and buffers. Traffic Impact: A traffic study was completed by Wolverton & Associates for the proposed development and the conclusions are attached Walmart Supercenter page two September 2, 2014 to this report. Other than some minor road improvements that are proposed, no immediate roadway or intersection improvements are expected to be needed to accommodate the proposed development. Design Standards All of the required Design Standards will be met. Elevations of the proposed store are attached to this report. Special Notes: There are no major comments concerning the Major Site Plan. However, there are some detailed comments that will need to be addressed with the civil plans for the site. While these comments will need to be addressed with the civil submittal, they are editorial in nature and not likely to result in substantial changes to the proposed layout. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Walmart Supercenter Major Site Plan, subject to staff comments. Attachments: Plan Review Comments Walmart Supercenter – Major Site Plan Proposed Building Elevations TIA Conclusions Walmart Supercenter - Plan Review Comments Review of: Status: Project: P. 1 of 1 Major Site Plan Conditional Walmart Supercenter Plan #20130916 Review Comments Inspections: Conditional Work with the architect to provide the location of the FDC on the front wall between the two main entrances. Zoning: Conditional Show current property lines on the site plan. As currently depicted, the development appears to cross over into parcel #6020701044 and a little into the apartment parcel #604-0601113. As previously mentioned, the smaller parcel currently located at the corner of Mt. Holly and Saluda (TM# 6020701025) will need to be combined with the parent parcel and a subdivision plat showing all of the current and proposed property lines will need to be provided for review and approval. Also, please include all cross access agreements granting cross access to the 5 outparcels and the remainder of parcel #6020701044. Please be sure to address any updated SCDOT comments regarding the TIA and site with the revision of the site plan. Some of these comments may include the elimination of the triangle shaped traffic islands at some of the access drives. All signage will be reviewed and permitted separately. Planning Commission Staff Report September 2, 2014 – Agenda Item #5 Project Name: Waterford Terrace Apartments Plan Type: Major Site Plan Plan Number: 20120798 Tax Map Number: 700-01-01-100 Location: The site for the Waterford Terrace Apartments is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Dave Lyle Boulevard and Waterford Park Drive. The proposed development site is situated directly across Waterford Park Drive from Transaxle Manufacturing of America. Owner/Developer: Waterford Terrace Apartments, LLC 1511 Shopton Road, Charlotte, NC 28217 (704) 335-9114 Background: Waterford Terrace Apartments, LLC would like to obtain site plan approval on approximately 17.96 acres for the development of an 8-building, 226-unit multi-family apartment project. The general design concept includes three-story apartment buildings situated primarily around a large open space feature on the site. A centrally located amenity (mall, gazebo, clubhouse and pool) will provide a social and recreational benefit to the residents of the complex Site Info: The property is currently largely wooded and undeveloped with some severe slopes on the property. It is situated directly southwest corner of the intersection of Dave Lyle Boulevard and Waterford Park Drive. The site will be accessed from a shared access road to the south that is to be constructed with the development. Land Use Information: Type: Zoning: Land Area: Total Lots: Overall Density: Streets: Pedestrian Access: Residential MF-15 (Multi-Family-15) 17.96 acres 1 12.58 units per acre All drives shown on the plan are to be private. The main drive off of Waterford Park Drive is proposed to be a shared access with the parcels located to the immediate south and to the west. Vehicle access into the complex will be from the three access points shown on the site plan. Sidewalks would be provided throughout the development site. Pedestrian access to the external network would be Waterford Terrace Apartments page two September 2, 2014 provided by connecting the sidewalk along the main drive aisle into the site out to Waterford Park Drive. Open Space: A centrally located clubhouse, pool, and mall area with a gazebo are proposed. Open space will also be incorporated within the parking areas and around the buildings. Landscaping: An initial landscape plan has been provided. However this plan will need to be revised to demonstrate compliance with landscape requirements including streetscape, building foundation and buffers. Landscaping will also need to be provided within all internal open space areas. Parking: The project requires 351 parking spaces. The site plan shows that 432 spaces would be provided within the apartment complex, including 40 garage spaces that would be available for an additional fee. Special Notes: The Zoning, Inspections, Landscaping, Addressing, and E911 Departments have outstanding comments that need to be addressed (attached). The comments are either editorial or of a technical nature and we do not expect them to result in substantial changes to the proposed layout. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Waterford Terrace Major Site Plan, subject to staff comments. Attachments: Waterford Terrace Apartments – Major Site Plan Proposed Building Elevations Plan Review Comments Waterford Terrace Apartments - Plan Review Comments Review of: Status: Project: P. 1 of 1 Major Site Plan Not Approved Waterford Terrace Apartments Plan #20120789 Review Comments Inspections: Conditional Separate engineered plans must be submitted for all retaining walls and a separate permit is required. Zoning: Not Approved The one-way drive aisle around the mall area needs to be reconfigured to handle two-way traffic (preferably with a 22’ wide drive aisle) from the main shared access road into the site to the first “curb-cut” located between the pool and mall and from this same “curb-cut” on the drive aisle exiting the site to the main shared access road. The drive aisle around the mall area can remain one-way, however it should be reduced to not give the appearance that two-way travel would be permissible. Adding some additional landscaping at the beginning of the one-way portion of the street may help achieve this effect as well. In order for pedestrians to have a safe way to get to the mall and swimming pool area, provide crosswalks across the “loop road” from the 4 different drive aisle (rows of 10 and 9 parking spaces) to the mall area. A lighting plan and photometric study is required for review. Please coordinate the lighting plan with the landscape plan to ensure that there are minimal conflicts with light poles, trees, etc. According to table 6-100(K) of the zoning code, loading areas should be provided at a rate of 1 per first 50 units plus 1 per each 200 units or major fraction thereof. Therefore, some type of loading/unloading areas (2 or 3) for tenants moving in/out of the buildings should be provided. One loading area on each side of the mall should sufficiently meet this requirement, or by utilizing some of the area in front of the garages as loading/unloading zones. Infrastructure-Landscape: Not Approved Some additional planting could be employed...especially at building corners and entrances as stated in the zoning ordinance. Tenants may appreciate some screening around the pool. Typically the landscape plan is submitted for review previous to full civil set for construction. Please review the landscaping standards set forth in the zoning ordinance. GIS/Addressing: Not Approved Please see provided sketch showing roads that need naming. Please contact me with a list of potential names so I can review them. E911: Not Approved Concerns about the on road parking that takes place around what will be the main entrance that circles all the way around the mall. Will emergency vehicles have the ability to maneuver in what appears to already be a tight parking situation? I agree that 6 road names should be submitted for this project to eliminate confusion and to allow for proper flow throughout the project. Please see GIS/Addressing comments regarding naming the roads. Planning Commission Staff Report September 2, 2014 ~ Agenda Item #6 Project Name: Herrons Ferry Road Extension Plan Type: Preliminary Plat Plan Number: 201410677 Tax Map Number: 662-07-01-123 (portion) Location: 2850 Cherry Rd. Owner/Developer: Greens of Rock Hill, LLC (Dave Williams) Rock Hill, SC 803.324.7762 Background: This preliminary plat is the road right-of-way for a portion of Herrons Ferry Road that will extend from the existing rightof-way to access the parcel where the pump house building currently sits. Land Use Information: Type: Zoning: New Public Street PD-C Streets: Type: Number: Total Length: Right-of-Way: Pavement Width: Public One 450 linear feet 45 feet The proposed road will have a 22’ wide travel-way that consists of two 11’ wide vehicle travel lanes. Pedestrian Access: Sidewalks will be provided on both sides of the roads. All sidewalks are 5’ wide. The Piedmont Medical Center Trail will extend for approximately 160’ to the north of Herrons Ferry Road. Landscaping: Streetscape landscaping will be provided although it may be deferred in some areas and installed in conjunction with future construction. Special Notes: There are outstanding Inspections, Zoning, Utilities, Roadway, Water & Sewer, and Stormwater comments that need to be addressed (attached). None of these comments will affect the proposed road layout. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval subject to resolution of the outstanding review comments. Attachments: Preliminary Plat Plan Review Comments Herrons Ferry Road Extension - Plan Review Comments Review of: Status: Project: P. 1 of 1 Preliminary Plat Not Approved Pump House Drive (Herrons Ferry Road) Extension Plan #20140677 Review Comments Inspections: Not Approved Show fire hydrant locations and Fire Apparatus turn around. All intersections must have curb ramps that comply with SCDOT and ADA standards. Zoning: Conditional The proposed road extension will have to go through the preliminary plat process and at this time is scheduled to go before the City of Rock Hill Planning Commission at their September 2, 2014 meeting. The ghosted area of the temporary gravel/future parking lot does not appear to be correct as it does not show the existing canoe/kayak launch. Infrastructure-Roadway: Conditional A common access easement will need to be provided along the stretch between the Pump House parking and the kayak parking. Provide a temporary turnaround for emergency vehicles. Show the kayak launch and associated walkways in conjunction with the kayak parking. Infrastructure-Water & Sewer: Conditional The water main will need to be extended with the road. Infrastructure-Stormwater: Conditional Water quality will need to be provided for the road. Easements will need to be provided for any storm drains that extends outside of the ROW and coordinated with City Electrical and street tree locations. Profiles for the storm drain and along the existing culvert will be required. Utilities-Electrical: Not Approved A 10' PUE must be provided behind the road r/w, with no more than 10% slope across the easement. GIS/Addressing: Approved According to the plans, this is an extension of Herron's Ferry road not a new street named Pump House Drive Extension. If developer wants to create this as a new named road, please submit proposed road name to Dawn Helms for review/approval. Planning Commission Staff Report September 2, 2014 ~ Agenda Item #7 Project Name: Waterford Site D Plan Type: Preliminary Plat Plan Number: 20140505 Tax Map Number: 700-01-01-094 Location: 2853 Dave Lyle Blvd. Owner/Developer: Rock Hill Economic Development Corp. Rock Hill, SC 803.325.2095 Background: This preliminary plat is the road right-of-way for a new road that is to be constructed off of Dave Lyle Boulevard. The road will eventually become a portion of the frontage road that is envisioned to be constructed when Dave Lyle Boulevard is extended. During the extension of Dave Lyle Boulevard, this road and the driveway to the east will be closed and access to the parcels will come from the proposed frontage road. The frontage road will access Dave Lyle from the east of the Vista Hill Properties, LLC site. Land Use Information: Type: Zoning: New public street Industry General (IG) Streets: Type: Number: Total Length: Right-of-Way: Pavement Width: Public One 934 linear feet 60 feet The road will have a 27’ wide travel-way that consists of two 13’6” wide vehicle travel lanes. Pedestrian Access: A 5’ sidewalk will be provided on the western side of the proposed road. Landscaping: Streetscape landscaping will be provided although it may be deferred and installed in conjunction with building construction. Special Notes: There are outstanding Inspections, Zoning, Roadway, Water & Sewer, and Addressing comments that need to be addressed (attached).

Attachments: Preliminary Plat Plan Review Comments Waterford Business Park Site D - Plan Review Comments Review of: Status: Project: P. 1 of 1 Preliminary Plat Not Approved Waterford Business Park Site D Plan #20140505 Review Comments Zoning: Not Approved The proposed road will have to go through the preliminary plat process and at this time is scheduled to go before the City of Rock Hill Planning Commission at their September 2, 2014 meeting. The proposed road will need to be named. As previously discussed, the private access easement located in front of the Vista Hill Properties site will need to be updated to a be a public right-of-way. This is to allow for the future frontage road to be located here once Dave Lyle is extended. A note should be added to the preliminary plat stating that both the current and future access drives (for the Spec site and Vista Hill site) off of Dave Lyle will be closed and the Frontage Road will be constructed once Dave Lyle is extended. Infrastructure-Roadway: Not Approved The agreement with the Vista Hill Properties needs to be updated such that they agree to grant a 60' public right of way as opposed to the 50' private access easement at the time of an extension to Dave Lyle. Infrastructure-Water & Sewer: Not Approved Show existing water mains and hydrants on Dave Lyle, Waterford Park Drive and Waterford Glen Way. GIS/Addressing: Not Approved The proposed road needs to be named and in place for addressing since it is the only entrance/exit. Please contact Dawn Helms to get street name approval.
