Subject: SDP 2010 — 59 Town & Country Shopping Center - Prelim.
I have reviewed the plans submitted for this project and the plans submitted for the development of
adjoining property. Specifically, I reviewed SDP 2005 —135 Kia Major Site Plan Amendment, SDP 2005
—128 Town and Country (Guadalajara) and SDP 2007 —141 Town and Country Phase 1 Minor
Amendment. These plans do show grading on the property currently under review. However, none of the
plans indicate proposed grading that matches what is shown as existing situation on the plan currently
under review. I have spoken with the Zoning Administrator and confirmed that even though the slopes
were not shown on any site plan the grading was authorized as part of a site plan approval. Field
adjustments were made and the Certificate of Occupancy has been issued. These actions are equivalent to
County approval of the site layout and the resulting grading. Therefore, the disturbance of these critical
slopes may be authorized administratively provided that the necessary findings can be made. Please
initiate the required public notice for the Critical Slopes Waiver.
