A VSMP plan will be required for final site plan approval:

I have reviewed the revised Initial Site Plan submittal against the requirements and recommendations approved
by the Architectural Review Board on December 21, 2015, and offer the following comments:
Prior to Initial Plan approval
1. Show screening around the entire gravel area. Submit a Special Exception request to replace the required
fence on the south side with vegetative screening, or provide vegetative screening in addition to the fence
on the south side. Provide vegetative screening between the proposed building and the gravel area,
extending around the corners on both the west and east sides of the storage area. This screening shall be
sufficient to completely screen the storage area from view of the Entrance Corridor. The screening should
not be rigid rows, but should be less formal in layout and include multiple species to blend with the
surrounding area.
Rev1: The revised submittal provides the required fence and vegetative screening, using existing
trees supplemented by additional evergreen planting where needed. The Final Plan shall provide a
gate detail, in addition to the fence detail, indicating a solid gate design.
2. Label the existing trees to remain as 'preserved' and provide tree protection fencing.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
3. Include a note on the plan stating that items stored in the storage area shall not exceed the height of the
screening fence and planting.
Rev1: Comment addressed.
4. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the plan: "Visibility of all mechanical equipment from the
Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
Revi : Comment addressed.
A Certificate of Appropriateness is required prior to final site plan approval.
1. Provide frontage landscaping consistent with the EC guidelines.
Rev1: This will be reviewed with the Final Site Plan submittal, but a cursory review shows the
proposed landscape plan does not meet the EC guidelines.
2. Select a large tree species along the interior road consistent with the EC guidelines.
Revi : This will be reviewed with the Final Site Plan submittal.
3. Provide large trees to align the frontage of the parking area consistent with the EC guidelines.
Revi : This will be reviewed with the Final Site Plan submittal.
4. Revise the landscape schedule to specify the cultivar of Ilex crenata proposed to verify adequate screening
will be provided.
Rev1: This will be reviewed with the Final Site Plan submittal.
Regarding conditions to be satisfied prior to issuance of a grading permit:
1. Label the existing trees to remain as 'preserved' and provide tree protection fencing.
Revi : Comment addressed.

Chris,
Attached is a GIS map to depict my comments. I am recommending approval of the initial site plan with the following
conditions:
• The applicant shall shift the proposed force main tie in to manhole 3WElect-1-4. The connection shall be made
90 degrees off of the flowline.
• Show the existing sanitary sewer correctly per the attached GIS map.
• No new taps will be permitted on the RWSA transmission main. If a meter upsize is required the new connection
shall be made on Dobleann Drive.
• Fixture counts will be required at the final site plan stage to determine if a meter upsize will be required.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Re: SDP -2015-00057 General Industrial Office Initial Site Plan
Dear Mr. Perez:
We have reviewed the General Industrial Office initial site plan, dated October 26, 2015, as resubmitted
by Meridian Planning Group, LLC, and we offer the fallowing comments:
1. The anticipated average daily trips should be based on the current edition of the ITE Trip
Generation Manual.
2. The geometry of the proposed entrance on Coffey Drive (Route 882) needs to meet the design
vehicle standards. Based on the proposed warehouse use, trucks will be accessing the property.
"Entrance Design Details" can be found in Appendix F of the Road Design Manual.
3. A Land Use Permit will be required prior to the beginning of any work within the Route 882
right-of-way.
4. Sheet C-301: The `New Pavement Detail' is showing "New Paved Entrance Match Existing Rio
Road Pavement"; from the plans the new entrance ties in to Coffey Drive (Route 882).
If you need ionai information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
