The following final site plan comments have been provided as a courtesy to the applicant and will not need
to be addressed to receive preliminary approval.
50% Removal Rate may or may not be enough necessary for this development. This will be
reviewed during the final site plan process.
2. Engineering has no objection with the critical slopes waiver. However, critical slopes on the
area for the proposed biofilter may need stabilization. This will be reviewed during the final
site plan process.
3. The final site plan review will be subject to section 18- 32.7.2.a - parking structures. At this
time, also, waivers regarding the parking area should be requested by the applicant for the
zoning administrator. For example, reduction and space width due to columns, and 100 foot
site distances due to walls, etc.
