[Comment] On the cover sheet provide the following... Rev 1. Comment addressed. 5. [32.5.2(C), 32.6.2(a)] Phasing. All site changes associated with the entrance pavilion shall be shown on the parking/apron expansion site plan, or all reference to this improvement shall be removed completely from this plan and submitted on some other site plan. Rev 1. Comment not adequately addressed. The entry pavilion and landscaping island fronting the pavilion is not associated with these plans; however, they are still depicted on sheet L101-4. Please remove the entry pavilion from this sheet. ARB has not approved this aspect of the plans. Rev 2. Comment addressed. The landscaping island fronting the pavilion can remain; however, if it is not proposed to be installed either remove the proposed plantings or provide a phase line around these plantings to indicate phase 2 and provide an estimated date of beginning and completion for this phase. Additionally, sheet L101-4 depicts proposed replacement plantings throughout the existing parking lot; however, in follow-up emails it has been stated that these improvements will be pushed to a future date. Either remove the proposed plantings or provide a phase line around these plantings to indicate phase 2 and provide an estimated date of beginning and completion for this phase. Rev 2. Comment not addressed. I offer the following clarification: If the landscaping is to be removed now but not replaced till Spring of 2020, revise all reference to "Phase 3" for this landscaping and replace with reference to "Phase 1". Additionally, be aware that this landscaping will be required to be bonded with the County for a 1-year period to allow the replacement of the landscaping to be postponed. This shall take place with the final inspection of the phase 1 parking lot expansion. If the landscaping is to be removed in the Spring of 2020 and replaced in the Spring of 2020, then the "Phase 3" label is appropriate, provide the following note next to the phasing: "Phase 3 landscapinz is to be removed in the Sprint of 2020 and replaced in the Sprint of 2020". 6. [32.5.2(n)] Outdoor Lighting. Proposed lighting must comply with requirements of Sec. 4.17 of the Zoning Ordinance. Ensure the LLF is revised to 1. Rev 1. Comment addressed. 7. [Comment] Prior to site plan approval a WPO plan shall be submitted and approved. If you have questions on how to submit a WPO application please work with the County Engineering Department. Rev 2. Comment addressed. Additional Comments on the Revision 8. [32.7.9.7(A)3] Screening. The landscaping around the new parking lot has been revised to omit portions of the existing tree line, which were being utilized to screen the new parking form the public right of way (Rte. 606). To make up for this loss of screening please revise the parking lot perimeter landscaping to continue a single row of the Juniperus Virginiana'Canaertii' (JVC) plantings behind the proposed double row of Schip Laurel shrubs. See location in the diagram below. Rev 2. Comment addressed. 9. [32.7.9.4(b)] Conservation Checklist. The applicant shall sign the conservation checklist. Rev 2. Comment addressed.
