Address the following: a) Material and color samples have been provided and noted on the elevations. However, a "Kawneer `Black" sample was provided but does not appear to be utilized. Specify where this color and material will be utilized in the elevation sheet. b) The notes for the masonry materials state that the mortar is to match the existing. For both types of brick, a specific manufacture color and style have been specified with the statement "GC to verify `Match Existing prior to ordering". Address the following: i. The brick colors and manufacturer have changed since the last submission. Provide a picture of a physical sample that includes the manufacturer's name, the color and the style for both specified colors of brick. A physical sample ma,, b�quired. ii. The brick manufacturer has changed to a different company from what was approved on the previous approval.

See i. above about supplying a photo of the material and color sample for both colors of brick. 2. Show all existing required landscaping, as shown on the approved SDP2006-90 site plan amendment, on the Boundary & Partial Topographic Survey and Demolition Plan sheets. There appears to be a number of plants shown on the approved site plan that are not shown as existing in the proposed minor amendment. If approved plantings are no longer on site, then show them as proposed with this site plan. There are shrubs on east and south side of the building and six street trees, three along Rt. 29 and three along Woodbrook Drive, that are not shown as existing. Also, ensure species of existing plantings are specified. Rev. 1: Comment not yet fully addressed. Address the following_ a) There are still trees and shrubs shown on the approved SDP2006-90 site plan amendment that are not shown as either existing or proposed in this minor amendment. Some may need to be slightly relocated, or if the planting bed is reduced in size the number of shrubs may need to be reduced, but they should be shown on the existing conditions sheet or shown on the proposed landscapingsif they do not currently exist). b) There are existing shrubs at the front (east of the building). Shrubs were also shown in this location on the approved site plan. However, none are shown in this area, as either existing or proposed relocated after construction) with this site plan amendment. c) There is one existing cedar near the corner of the lot that is not shown on the site plan as existing but appears in the approved site plan in a somewhat different location. d) There is another cedar, shown n the approved site plan, near the corner of the lot that is still not being shown on this site plan as being proposed that does not appear to exist. e) There is still one large shade tree along Rt. 29 that is not shown as existing or proposed although it is shown on the approved site plan. f) Ensure species of existing plantings are specified. This does not appear to be provided on either the existing conditions sheet or the landscape sheet. g) [NEW COMMENT] Either revise the landscape schedule to include all existing and proposed plantings for the site or provide a second landscape schedule for the existing landscaping.

Rev. 1: Comment not yet fully addressed. For the prosed luminaires address the following_ a) The proposed luminaire appears to be a wall mounted unit, based upon the manufacturer's cut sheet, but the units shown in the photometric plan appear to be mounted to the underside of the canopies.
