For LOR #2, indicate at the end of the statement that changes approved with LOR #2 are not reflected in this plan.

In order to track affordable units through the building permit process, the units must be also indicated on the site plan.

RESPONSE: The affordable housing table has been provided on sheet 3. We thank you for taking the time to review these plans and trust the above adequately addresses your comments. However, please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information. Best Regards, 4 Dustin E. Greene, PE
