County GIS web.
Comments for SDP200800052 LTACH
1. The sanitary sewer is shown as being connected along route US Route 250 on the
LTACH site plan. The sanitary sewer connection should match the sanitary sewer
connection shown in the sanitary sewer extension plans.
2. Indicate on the site plan the maximum number of employees.
3. Street trees, Interior parking lot trees, and canopy calculations are site specific.
Plantings on one parcel cannot account for calculations on another parcel. Street
trees along state route 250 for TMP 59 -23B 1 must be calculated separate from those
for North Ridge, and the same goes for interior parking lot landscaping, and canopy
calculations. A clear definition of boundaries i.e. boundary line adjustment would
remedy this concern.
