Outstanding issues that will need to be further addressed are shown in italics after the original comment from the Action Letter of July 20, 2007. The details provided on July 2, 2007 of the outdoor picnic pavilion are acceptable with materials and colors as stated, with the possible addition of a stone knee wall to match the lower level of the main building. If a stone knee wall is intended, revise Sheet 3 Layout and Dimension Plan by adding the note "The outdoor pavilion will have a stone knee wall matching the lower level of the main building. " 2. Revise the building design in the south (rear) and west (left side) elevations (Sheet EL -1) to eliminate the appearance of blankness at the second story level using either window arrangement as presented on July 2, 2007 or vertical and horizontal banding as discussed and referenced in the drawing. Replace the vertical HardiPlank boards, shown dividing the expanse of siding in the upper section of the South (rear)and West (side) elevations, with a vertical board/molding as wide as the porch cornice line in the East Elevation is tall. Revise the elevations to show the fascia trim boards wider. The vertical width (height) of the fascia board should equal half the height of the porch cornice in the east elevation. 3. Revise the building design of the west (left side) elevation (Sheet EL -1), so that the hardiplank siding does not rest directly on the top of the first story windows. With building materials and design, provide a transition between the first and second floor levels of the elevation. This redesign should also provide a more balanced sense of scale and proportion between the hardiplank at the second story level and the building design above and below. Revise the West (side) elevation by making the sill band (apron) above the stone wider. The band should be at least half as high as the porch cornice in the east elevation. 4. Revise the site plan and building elevations to provide the location and method of screening for HVAC and other equipment, indicating how visibility of the equipment will be eliminated from the EC. Sheet Ex -1 shows 6 HVAC units in a 2:1 embankment adjacent to the south elevation. The height of these units in relation to the adjacent retaining wall cannot be determined with the information provided. Two HVAC units are shown adjacent to the northwest corner of the building. The method of screening for these units is not shown. 5. Revise Sheet 4 Grading and Utilities Plan and Sheet 5 Landscape and Lighting Plan to show cut and fill slopes that are rounded (minimum 10' radius) to meet existing conditions. Revise Sheet 4 Grading and Utilities Plan and Sheet 5 Landscape and Lighting Plan to show cut and fill slopes that are rounded (minimum 10' radius) to meet existing conditions. 6. Revise Sheet 3 Layout and Dimension Plan, Sheet 4 Grading and Utilities Plan, and Sheet 5 Landscape and Lighting Plan and provide an erosion and sediment control plan clearly indicating proposed and existing tree lines (labeled), the limits of construction, the location and method of tree protection fencing for each tree /tree mass at the outermost limits of the canopy. Include a note on the landscape, grading and erosion control plans stating the following: The movement of heavy equipment and the storage of all materials outside the limits of construction are prohibited. No tree removal or grading will occur within the 75 foot setback adjacent to the Route 250 E. EC.

No tree removal or grading will occur within the 75 foot setback adjacent to the Route 250 E. EC. 7. Revise Sheet 5 Landscape and Lighting Plan to show 2'/2" caliper trees, 40' on center, of a species common to the area, based on the County's Recommended Species List, along the eastern perimeter of the proposed parking lot. Revise the Plant List on Sheet 5 Landscape Plan to indicate that all medium to large shade trees fulfilling this requirement are to be 2' /z inch caliper minimum. 8. Provide a lighting photometric plan showing all foot candle values across the site. Values at a right -of -way line or boundary line adjoining a rural area district shall not exceed the one -half (1/2) foot candle threshold. Provide alternate pole light fixtures that meet full cutoff requirements. Revise Sheet 5 Landscape and Lighting Plan to indicate the proposed finish, color and location of the Lumascape 461 -2 fixture. Provide information indicating the number of lumens that are emitted by this fixture. If 3,000 lumens or more, provide a full cutoff fixture.
