Original comments from the July 17, 2017 ARB meeting and my June 22, 2018 comment letter (bulleted) are copied below. Current comments follow each item and are in bold. 1. Submit material/color samples for review. See 13 and 14 below. This comment has been partially resolved. This comment has been resolved. .Provide a treatment for the northern (right) elevation of the front (eastern) building bay to maintain a connection to the renovated front elevation. Consider adding landscape or screening on the property for the existing mechanical and electrical equipment. The plan on sheet 20 notes soapstone on the north elevation. Provide an elevation of the noilh side of the building, note the proposed material on the diawin&and clearly show the extent of the soapstone application. Note the building materials on Sheet 21. This comment has been resolved. Identify on the plans the existing vegetation at the east corner of the building/site. • The tree was added to sheet 16. The species and size were not noted, but are needed on the plan. If the species cannot be identified, note that it is a deciduous tree and note the size. Provide a landscape plan that is legible. The landscaping on Sheet 16 is too small to distinguish individual plants, and it is difficult to distinguish one plant symbol from another. The size note is difficult to read and appears to say, "Existing deciduouse 2' sp 10 tree to stay." Please clarify the meaning of this note. Please provide the site plan sheets at the standard 24" x 36" size previously submitted for site plan review. 4. Indicate on the elevation drawings the type of window glass proposed. Provide specs.
