The following revisions have been made to the approved site plans for the above
referenced project:
1. The sidewalk along the southwest side of the building (adjacent to parking
spaces 1-16) is being moved away from the building and to the curb. This
change reduces overall impervious area and improves access from the
parking spaces to the building.
2. The grading along the front (south) corner of the building is being modified
to maintain a flat grade across the front of the building. A small retaining
wall (30" or less) will be used to accommodate the grade transition from the
main building entrance to the parking spaces along the side of the building.
3. We have modified the landscaping tree selection along the front of the
building to replace the 3 Sycamore with 3 Pin Oaks.
4. We would like to eliminate parking space #16. There is currently a pad
mounted transformer in this location, and we would like to leave it
there. This would still leave 66 parking spaces for the project (60 spaces is
the minimum required).
5. A standard access door is being proposed adjacent to the rollup door access
into the building from the lower parking lot. This would result in replacement
of approximately 160 sf of turf with concrete walkway. Note that the overall
site impervious would still be less than currently shown as a result of the
sidewalk changes described in Item 1 above.
6. The site lighting sheet (originally Sheet 9) for the project has been revised
(now sheets 9A and 913) to reflect the previous changes to the site and
building layout.
7. The concrete sidewalk and steps along the North side of the building has
been modified to consolidate the steps into two groupings at the bottom of
the slope.
Four copies of the site plan showing the proposed changes are attached, as well as
the Letter of Revision Form and associated fee.
We look forward to working with the County to resolve any issues that may result
from these changes and to expedite the final review and approval process.
Sincerely,
