a)The light fixtures are not shown in the same location on the Lighting Plan as they are on the
other plan sheets.Ensure that all sheets show them in the same location.Rev.2:Comment
addressed.
b) There appears to be an "F 2" light fixture but not an "F 1". Update the lighting plan so that if
there is only one "F" light fixture it is numbered'I F I" Rev.2: Comment addressed.
c) Provide information on the size of the light pole and base of"F2-2" or relocate light fixture. On
the Lighting Plan sheet fixture "F2-2"has been located in, or adjacent to,the 2'overhand area
for vehicles in 16'deep parking spaces. The pole for the light fixture, and the base if not flush to
the ground, cannot be located within the 2'of parking overhand.
Rev.2: Comment not yet fully addressed.Address the following:
1. Provide the overhang area(dashed outline)on all 16'deep parking spaces.
The both sets of the eight 16'spaces in the middle-of the existing parking lot do not show
the dashed line area specifying the 2'overhang.Ensure that all signage and light poles do
not impact the 2'deep parking overhang area. If there is exactly 4'from face of curb to face
of curb between those parking areas the poles for the handicapped signage may block part
of the overhangs on one side or the other. The 2'overhand areas must be totally clear of
obstructions on both sides.
ii. Dimension the face of curb to face of curb distance between the two 16'deep parking areas
in the middle of the existing parking area. Ensure that there is not only sufficient parking
overhang area for both of the parking bays but also sufficient area for all signaqe poles and
light poles.

111. Ensure that the grading at the base of the modified CG-2 curbing, between the two bays of
16'parking spaces,allows:
a. Sufficient room for the 2'overhang for lower of the two parking bays.
b. Sufficient space for the light poles and handicapped signage.

When the loading space was moved the proposed curb lines were adjusted to remove the previously
proposed loading space and to create a new parking space.Planting area#6 appears to not have been
updated with the changes. Revise the planting area and plant locations to no longer conflict with the .
parking space.

counted toward the minimum area of parking area landscaping.Therefore,the area of landscaping
that is for the parking space screening cannot be used to meet the 5%area requirement in 32.7.9.6(a),
Revise the landscaping plan so that the 5% landscaping area does not include landscaping required in
either 32.7.9.5(d)or(e). Rev.2: Comment not fully addressed.There appears to be a residual label
for what was a Blackqum Tree near the center of the front of the existing building and near the Pignut

just north of the north property line.A portion of that easement is within the subject parcel.Ensure that any items

smaller easement than usual. However,the sewer line seems to be less than 5' from the property line. If this is
correct then the sewer line easement should be shown in the site plan because it would extend slightly into the
property. Either show this easement or provide information on why it is not actually within the property.
Rev. 2: Comment not yet fully addressed. Although the easement lines have been revised, internal to the
site. to show only at 10' wide sewer easement the label has not yet been updated and still specifies a 20'
