RE: ARB- 2008 -93: Moser Radiation Therapy Addition (Tax Map 59, Parcel 23C)
Dear Ms. George:
I have reviewed your recent submittals, which consisted of the following: exterior elevations sheet dated
9/17/08, site plan sheets C1 -C7 with revision date of 8/19/08, landscape sheet L1 with revision date of 9/18/08,
Lighting plan L2 with revision date of 4/15/08, Elevations L1 and L2 dated 9/10/08, and color rendering
undated). I have the following comments:
1. Two magnolias are proposed in close proximity to the addition. If the trees will not be revised to a
smaller species, the plan should be revised to show them located far enough away from the building to
allow for proper growth. The Sweetbay Magnolia can grow to 20' high and 20' wide. Please shift the
magnolias further from the building.
2. The plant schedule indicates that four Magnolias are proposed. I can only find two on the plan. Please
revise the plant schedule accordingly, or let me know where the other Magnolias are located on the
plan.
3. A total of 90 Ilex Glabra are listed in the plant and biofilter schedules. I count a total of 92 on the plan.
Please double -check the count and revise the schedules or plan if you find a discrepancy.
4. Columnar English Oaks with groups of holly are proposed for the east side of the addition. The cluster
concept addresses one of the ARB's concerns. However, the Oak trees can grow 50' -60' high and 10'-
18' wide. This mature height seems overscaled for the building and the proposed spacing is so close
that the clustering won't have an impact. A tree that grows to a shorter mature height, as
recommended by the ARB at the August 4 meeting would be appropriate. Please revise the plan so
show a smaller species and double check the spacing and distance from the wall to allow for proper
growth.
Please provide:
1. Two full sets of revised drawings addressing each of these conditions. Include updated ARB revision
dates on each drawing and an ARB approval signature panel.
2. A memo including detailed responses indicating how each condition has been satisfied. If changes
other than those requested have been made, identify those changes in the memo also. Highlighting
the changes in the drawing with "clouding" or by other means will facilitate review and approval.
3. The attached "Revised Application Submittal" form. This form must be returned with your revisions to
ensure proper tracking and distribution.
When staff's review of this information indicates that all conditions of approval have been met, a Certificate of
Appropriateness may be issued. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.
Sincerely,
Margaret Maliszewski
