to conform with parcel records.
4. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(r)] The plans do not appear to adhere to, or include, many items included in the
legend on Sheet 1. Please revise the legend and/or plans to be consistent with one another.
5. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(r)] Throughout the plan, please ensure that all identifying lines are labeled, by

For example: Large Deciduous; Medium Deciduous; Small Deciduous; Ornamental Tree.
28. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(c)] On Sheet 7, the contour labels, grading elevations, and symbology used for contour lines
are not consistent and, at times, actually appear to use the same line type. Please ensure that existing and
proposed contours are depicted differently, and please ensure the contour labels and graphic conventions are
consistent.
29. [Z.O. Sec. 32.6.2(a), 32.5.2(s)] Please label the maximum height of all retaining walls. It appears that this is
already shown for the retaining wall between Buildings 1 and 3, but please make sure that all retaining wall
heights are provided.
REQUESTED CHANGES:
30. [Advisory Comment] Please be advised that, prior to a certificate of occupancy being granted, safety fencing is
required along the top of the retaining wall on the southern edge of the property due to its height. Staff requests
this fencing to be added (by graphic depiction and label) to this final site plan.
31. [Z.O. 32.6.2(a), Sec. 32.5.2(a)] Review sheet index list and individual sheet titles to ensure these names match

35. [Z.O.32.6.2(a), Sec. 32.5.2(r)] On Sheet 2, the Soil Type Boundary in the legend is not readily distinguishable
on the map. Please revise.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
[Advisory Comment] Currently, the County holds an easement across the subject property for the Old Mills
Trail greenway corridor. Per note 6 on the easement recorded in Deed Book 2913, Pages 156-162, that recorded
easement states that the greenway corridor is reserved for future dedication to the County for public use, upon
demand by the County in conjunction with any site development plan approval. Please be advised that it is
staff s understanding that the County is likely to make a demand for dedication of the land referred to in that
recorded easement upon approval of the final site plan (as may be applicable).
