inert waste fill shall be located on critical or preserved slopes except as otherwise permitted under sections 4.2.5,

sign or an existing sign? Comment addressed.
18. The "Limits of Project" callout points to a boundary that does not match the actual TMP parcel
boundaries. Is this intended to indicate that land is being dedicated to right-of-way? Please also clarify if
any off -site construction easements are needed. Off -site construction easements must be platted prior to
final site plan approval. Further comments on this matter may be forthcoming pending applicant response.

Review Status: Requested changes, see below.
The screening of a portion of the proposed parking area and travelway elements is reliant on the
existing vegetation along Rt. 29 which is largely located in the right-of-way. Additionally, this
vegetation will allow for increased visibility into the site during the months when leaves are not on the
trees. Revise the plan to provide shrubs to screen the three parking spaces near the portable toilet and
an additional grouping of trees in the planting area east of the opening to the turning loop.
