Response: Deed book and page number has been added to the cover sheet under owner information as requested. 3. [18-32.7.9] Landscaping plan: a. 23 IG are identified in the planting schedule.

There are 21 IG's on the planting plan and this is reflected in the schedule. b. Provide the final site plan application number for the site plan that includes the existing vegetation proposed to be used to satisfy the landscaping requirements.

Kimlep Horn Page 2 d. Since existing vegetation is proposed to be used to meet landscaping requirements, include a completed and signed copy of the Tree Conservation Checklist with the site plan. It can be included on one of the landscaping plan sheets. Response: Noted and revised. See CP-501. Initial Site Plan 4. [32.5.2(a)] Remove the note on the cover sheet that steep slopes are N/A. There are managed steep slopes on this property. Also add Steep Slopes — Managed to the list of applicable zoning overlay districts. Comment partially addressed.

[32.5.2(b)] The number of parking spaces required by this development needs to be provided in the parking schedule on the cover sheet. It does not appear that there is sufficient parking provided on the site to accommodate the number required by the ordinance. If these additional parking spaces are provided through a shared parking agreement, with neighboring properties, provide the deed book and page numbers of the recorded agreement. Sufficient parking has not been provided on the site. Provide proof of a shared parking agreement with neighboring property(ies) that will accommodate the required amount of parking. Response: Deed Book 2804 Page 178-266 details the Ingress, Egress and Parking agreements. 7. [32.5.2(b)] On the landscape plan, provide the maximum amount of paved parking and other vehicular circulation areas. This item does not appear to have been included in the landscaping plan. The "paved parking/vehicular circulation area within LOD" is blank. This area is likely different from what is existing with the current building, as the drive -through lane adds more circulation area than currently exists. Response: Noted and revised. See updated requirements chart. 13. [32.5.2(n)] Existing and proposed improvements. d. What is the feature between the brick screening wall and the dumpsters? Label this recycling feature on the site layout sheet, as it doesn't appear to be labelled on the details sheet.

Identify the landscaping area between the drive -through lane and the public street (Route 29) and how it complies with section 32.7.9.5 of the zoning ordinance, with at least 10 feet in depth. Provide the depth of the existing landscaping and the height of the existing screening wall for staff to be able to confirm that the existing elements are sufficient to meet the requirements for the new drive -through lane. Response: Dimension has been added to sheet CS-101 to indicate the landscaped distance from the existing screen wall to the road. Callout has been added to sheet CS-101 indicating the existing screen wall is 17' tall. vii) 5.1.60(k). Provide the length of the drive -through lane beyond the drive -through window. It must be at least 20 feet. This comment does not appear to have been addressed. Response: Length of the drive -through lane beyond the drive -through window has been added to the site plan as requested. viii) 5.1.60(I). Provide the direction of travel of the drive -through lane and the adjacent 12-ft. wide travel lane. They must be going in the same direction, or otherwise be separated by a planting strip. The 12-ft. travel lane does not appear to be the required width of twelve feet at the location of the dumpster pad. It appears the corner of the dumpster enclosure may intrude into the travel lane, reducing the width below twelve feet. Provide the width of the lane at that point. Response: Per discussion with Andy Reitelbach and Matt Wantland, the lane adjacent to the drive thru lane is for dumpster access only. The bypass lane begins past the dumpster. See sheet CS-101 for updated signage and striping that indicates the lane is for dumpster access only. V MP 1. The VSMP plan will need to be approved prior to Site Plan approval. Response: Acknowledged. 2. Show the width of the travelway at the corner of the dumpster enclosure. It appears to be less than the 12' minimum.

See sheet CS-101 for updated signage and striping that indicates the lane is for dumpster access only. Building Inspection 1.
