Add the standard plant health note to the landscape plan: All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall be allowed to reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited. Shrubs and trees shall be pruned minimally and only to support the overall health of the plant. 31. Consider moving the building further away from the EC, while maintaining parking and equipment behind the building (as viewed from EC). 32. Provide a pedestrian connection between the internal sidewalk and the sidewalk along the edge of the EC. 33. Revise the proposed contours such that they appear natural, rounded and do not have less than a ten -foot radius throughout the site and where they blend with the existing topography. 34. Provide the conservation checklist in the site plan. 35. Provide a tree protection fencing detail in the site plan and show the tree protection fencing in the Grading and Draining Plan sheet. 36. Sign applications are required for all proposed signs. Eliminate cabinet style signs or limit them to secondary signs. All cabinet type signs must have opaque backgrounds. Reduce the number of colors used in the sign to be no more than three (including white). Eliminate overly intense colors from the sign proposal. 37. Consider shifting the travel lane to the south to create additional planting area for screening in the planting island. You may submit your application for continued ARB review at your earliest convenience. Application forms, checklists and schedules are available on-line at www.albemarle.org/ARB.
