Comment addressed. 5. [4.12] Parking. The proposed and existing office space onsite was found to be 32,620 SF, which requires 131 parking spaces. Sheet 1 of the plan incorrectly lists 31,805 SF of office space and only provides 128 spaces for this use. Ensure the SF listed on sheet 1 matches the SF proposed and existing throughout the rest of the plan. Revise parking calculation appropriately. Final. Comment addressed. 6. [4.12] Parking.

Is the square footage open to the public truly 500 SF? Ensure the correct square footage which is open to the public is listed. Additionally, at a minimum 2 customer parking spaces are required when using this calculation. Final. Comment addressed. 8. [4.12] Parking.

Final. The burkwood viburnum and the glossy abelia plantings are not taller than 5' after ten years of growth, therefore they shall not be counted towards the site's canopy calculations.
