RE: Response Letter#3 for SDP201800040 Hunters Way-Major SPA—ARB
Dear Margaret,
Thank you for your review of the Final Site Plan for Hunters Way-Major SPA. This letter contains
responses to County comments dated May 8, 2020. Our responses are as follows:
I. The ARB action required landscaping on the EC side of the building. This is not shown on the revised
plan.
Landscaping added to EC side of building.
2. The ARB action required trees and shrubs on the EC side of the drive-thru lane It appears that ono

Additional trees cannot be provided between drive-thru land and Rte 250 due to the 3 separate
utility easements in that area.The shrubs should provide adequate screening due to the slope of
the grade which will screen cars.See attached exhibit,which will be included with the ARB
Certificate of Appropriateness submittal.Instead,we have added some trees between the lane
and the building to further enhance the natural wooded effect of the area.
3 The guard rail detail still shown a very utilitarian design A revised design is required Consider the
design used at the Pantops Chick-fil-a
Guardrail detail on C9 has been revised to be less utilitarian.The red rusted/oxidized finish was
specified on plan sheet C3. Chick-fil-a does not have a GR-2 guardrail,and we have been
unable to find an exact specification/detail for the red-rust finish typically seen in entrance-
corridor guardrails.
4 The location and appearance of drive-thru equipment may generate additional comments
Noted,the general location is shown for reference.
