Subject: RE: Bob Snow's Avon St. Property
Hi, anm' (and Bob)
/ hope w cover the outstanding issues with this site. There are a variety of different applications under review at
various phases, so/ may not have included everything. These comments all reflect concerns associated with Tax
Map on. Parcel nnx. wv suggestions for actions on your part are m italics * help separate them out.
First, a little background:
sp n Business Park special u was approved on this site on March 1r./emwallow
contractor's outdoor storage and display. Conditions from the Architectural Review Board were part mthe
approval of the SP.
SDP 1998-122: The original site plan for ^snm°'s Business Park" was approved m1em.ao per the conditions m
SID 98-065,
SDP The plan was amended xr SDP u1'mm. which was approved as a major site plan amendment m
November. 2002. x critical slopes waiver and buffer disturbance waiver were approved u'map/anomo
Commission in June, 2002 in order to facilitate clean-up on site that was part of the reason for this major
amendment.
Revisions: Three letters of revision were subsequently processed based on changes after the approval of that
plan. On December 10, 2002, a letter of revision was approved to allow some changes to planting islands and to
allow Building am shift olittle, on June 1o.uon4�a letter of revision was approved * allow changes / teum
the placement aa grinder pump, propane tanks, fences, and other items. on July 1s.2uon.0 letter mrevision
was approved to allow further changes to the building locations and more detail regarding landscaping and
retaining walls.
Current issue:
Bond release and Zoning: Dennis Friedrich has previously indicated that he has done recent inspections on the
site in relation to bond release. There are small discrepancies, mainly related to plant species substitutions and
to replace landscaping that has not survived, Letters of revision are no longer allowed, due to change in
departmental policy. Thus, the way to reflect this type of discrepancy is to submit a site plan amendment showing
the proposed changes. Note that. in addition to these proposed changes, all previous changes (such as the three
letters of revision) should also be reflected on the site plan. The end result should be a plan that exactly matches
the site and vice-versa, which will enable Dennis to proceed. It appears that the last plan on file with the County
is dated July 8, 2005, and was submitted by Dave Wyant. Applications for minor site plan amendments are on
the County web-site or can be provided by staff. These changes can also be included in revisions of the minor
amendment that is currently in process (see below).
Other issues:
SP 2006-040: Lethal Wrecker - An application was submitted in October, 2006 to request approval for towing and
storage of motor vehicles in the rear of this site. Based on the information in the file, it appears that comments
were issued by Rebecca Ragsdale December 20, 2006. These comments should be addressed in order to
proceed with that application. Rebecca is still the main contact for that project.
SDP 2006-120: A site plan is under review to allow the placement of a metal shed and a wooden shed at the rear
of the property. which is the same location as the Lethal Wrecker application. Jonathan Sharp (a review
engineer) and I both issued comments in December, 2006. In short, the plan is not to scale and doesn't include
topographic information, so it's difficult to confirm locations of structures with any degree of accuracy. In order to
address these comments, close attention should be paid to the original site plan (SDP 01-096 listed above) and to
the most recent plan (from July, 2005). There are specific conditions related to the PC's action regarding
disturbance of the buffers and critical slopes at the rear of this property. and it's possible that these items were
impacted for the grading related to the construction of these sheds (both of which have already been
Page 2 of
constructed). A revised plan should be submitted that reflects the existing conditions.
I hope that helps. If you need copies of previously approved plans or action letters, let me know.
Thank you,
-David

Hi David,
Just wanted to check in with you to verify your status on the Bob Snow property. He would like to get this
resolved by the end of the year. We're ready to get rolling on it as soon as we receive from you a list of what
remains outstanding.
Thanks,
