There appear to be other discrepancies between the site
plan and plat as well. For example, the plan shows the
access easement of District Avenue being adjusted, while
the plat shows the access easements of Inglewood and
Bond being adjusted. Ensure both submittals match.
1. REV 2: Partially addressed. The demo plan also
needs to be updated. For example, Sheet 7 of the
final site plan shows the sidewalk easement on the
other side of District Ave as being relocated, which is
not shown on the easement plat or site plan layout.

labeled on the landscaping plan — the SWM easement
does not appear to be shown/labeled there.

mechanical equipment be screened from public view, not just the
Entrance Corridor. Revise Note 3 on Sheet 1 to meet this
requirement: Mechanical equipment or other utility hardware on
