rezoning amended the application plan to no longer include hotel in the land use summary. Additionally, the application
plan shows this area only as a tree conservation area and with no other uses shown. The application plan must be amended
through a rezoning to allow this use.
2. [ZMA 2002-08, ZMA 1998-201 The site shall not be granted access to Rte. 250; rather, it shall be served by Hansen Road

4. [SP2002-13 Condition #41 A portion of the site is preserved via the recorded landscape easement (DB2456 PG 682), which
provides screening of the adjacent parking area and reduces the impact of the loss of trees and softens the appearance of the
expanse of pavement. No development shall take place in this area and the trees shall remain for screening purposes. Depict
and label the existing screening trees in this area and remove the proposed improvements from this area.
5. [32.5.2(a), 4.201 Setbacks. The setbacks listed on the plan are incorrect. Revise the setbacks as follows:

improvements to the site. Ensure that the steep slopes design standards are met for all improvements in the area of impacted
steep slopes.
14. [32.5.2(j)] Provide the deed book and page references for any and all existing water, sewer, wastewater or storm drainage
systems easements that are located on the property.
15. [32.5.2(k)] Revise the site plan to include the location of the proposed water lines.
16. [32.5.2(1)] Provide the location and width of any existing or proposed utilities and utility easements including telephone,
