Comment 3: Clarify if/how the concrete stains will match the corresponding materials listed on the
materials board. This comment has been partially addressed. A revised materials sample
board was provided at the February 3 meeting and it included more accurate
representations of the concrete stain colors. Bohler's May 20 resubmittal memo states,
"Please see comment responses from Architect." The Architect's responses were not
provided. Please provide the architect's responses.
Response 3: Wegmans stated that they approve the material colors during the submittal process
after the job has been awarded to the contractor. Stain samples are collected and
approved, and if necessary can be customized to fit their needs exactly. If there is
still some doubt on the color,during the construction phase,a test area is chosen to
accept or reject the color.If rejected,they will customize further in order to provide
what is shown on the materials board.

Comment 5: Provide a physical sample of the standing seam metal for review. Bohler's May 20
resubmittal memo states that a sample of the standing seam metal was provided at the
February 3 meeting;however,no sample was retained. Please resubmit the sample.
Response 5: As requested, a sample of the standing seam metal has been provided for review &
approval with this submission.
Comment 6: Provide elevations with the roofline, equipment heights shown. The elevations do not
show the roofline, equipment locations, or equipment heights. This comment is meant to
clearly show that the rooftop equipment will be fully screened by the parapets. Provide
elevations with the roofline, equipment locations,and equipment heights shown.
Response 6: As requested, elevations with roofline equipment locations and heights shown have
been provided with this submission.

Comment 12: Indicate on the plan if bases are proposed for the pole lights and indicate that the base
height is included in the maximum 20' height. Bohler's May 20 resubmittal memo states
that a note indicating the maximum 20' height including bases has been added to Sheets
15A-J. Please clarify the locations of the note on these sheets.
Response 12: Comment Acknowledged. A note has been added to Sheets 15A-J to state that the
20' maximum mounting height will include the bases. Please see Note 3 on Sheets
15A-J.
Comment 13: 1.'Militate pole fixture; front the slope up to It)-l. This comment has been addressed.
Comment 14: Coordinate the plan and fixture schedule regarding the quantity of HC and HD fixtures.
This comment has been addressed in part. There are 2 lights at Bent Creek Road that are
not labeled. Are these HD fixtures? There is a stray HC label in Bent Creek Road. One
light near the southwest corner of the building is not labeled. Is this an HC fixture?
Response 14: The two (2) lights at Bent Creek Road are no longer proposed, therefore have been
removed from the plans along with the stray HC label. Also, the light near the
southwest corner of Wegmans has been labeled for your review. Please see Sheets
15A and 15F.
Comment 15: Revise the lighting plan to eliminate light pole and utility conflicts. Light poles are
located on pipes in several locations, within easements in a few locations; confirmation
from Engineering that these conflicts are acceptable is required. Alternatively, eliminate
the light pole and utility conflicts.
Response 15: Light poles have been revised to eliminate utility conflicts in most areas. There are
two (2) light poles that remain proposed on top of the Stormwater management
vault. It is the opinion of the engineer that due to the depth of the Stormwater
management vault (12' in the ground to the top of pipe), there will not be any
adverse effects from the light poles' current location and that plan approval by
County Engineering will confirm this. Please see sheet 15F.
Comment 16: Coordinate all drawings regarding the wall-mounted lantern fixtures. The plan shows 16
W3 and 7 WI fixtures. The lighting schedule lists 18 W3 and 8 W1 fixtures. Lighting
detail sheet 16D identifies a W2 fixture.
Response 16: All drawings and tables have been revised to correctly show the proposed light
fixtures. Please see Sheets 15F, 16A,and 16D
Comment 17: idd the standard lighting. note to the plan: "f:ach outdoor lu mainaire equipped \\ith a lamp

Comment 19: Intersperse flowering ornamental trees among the Sycamores along Avon Street.
Bohler's May 20 resubmittal memo suggests viewing 13J or 9C in the Bent Creek
Parkway Road Improvement Plan. The Ben Creek Parkway Road Improvement Plan was
not submitted for review. Sheet 13J does not identify tree species or sizes. Provide the
road plan for review.
Response 19: Comment Acknowledged. The Road Plans have been provided for review with this
submission.
Comment 20: Submit the revised road plans for review. Label all tress, coordinate plant count with
quantities listed in the plant schedule, and clearly show trees coordinated with retaining
walls. The Bent Creek Parkway Road Improvement Plan was not submitted for review.
Provide the road plan for review.
Response 20: Comment Acknowledged. The Road Plans have been submitted for review with this
submission.
Comment 21: Provide trees at a minimum of 2 1/2" caliper, spaced 40' on center, along the travelway
that connects Bent Creek Road with the Wegmans parking lot. This comment has been
addressed in part. Trees have been provided along the southern and northern ends of the
eastern side of the road. Trees have not been provided where the retaining wall is located
close to the road. Provide trees in the required location, or find an alternate substitute
location.
Response 21: Large shade trees have been specified at 40' intervals at the bottom side of the
retaining wall along the entrance to the Wegmans parking lot from Bent Creek
Road. All trees at the bottom side of the retaining wall are inside the limits of
disturbance and outside of the tree preservation area.The trees are 2 '/2"caliper and
specified 40' on center. Additionally,the sidewalk running along the eastern side of
the travelway has been adjusted in order to allow large shade trees, spaced 40' on
center,to be placed evenly on the entire road.Please see sheet 13D.
Comment 22: Provide medium trees, 2 1/2: caliper, spaced 25' on center along the sidewalk that runs
through the parking lot to the northeast corner of the building. This comment has been
addressed in part. The trees were provided at 1-1 '/4"caliper. Revise the tree size to 2 '/2"
caliper at planting.
Response 22: The six (6) Japanese Pagodatree planted along the sidewalk connecting to the
northeast corner of the Wegmans building have been revised to 2 '/z"caliper.Please
see sheet 14A.
Comment 23: Provide perimeter parking lot trees on the north side of the northern parking lot, 2 Y2'
caliper at planting, 40' on center. This comment has been addressed in part. Trees have
not been added to the northwest side of the parking lot due to retaining wall, easements,
and sight distance. Moving the trees to the interior of the parking row located along the
wall would be an acceptable alternative.

plan. It appears that Dogwoods are used to count towards the interior tress requirement.
Dogwoods are not considered large trees; large trees are required for interior parking lot
trees. Please revise accordingly.
