Kelly,
Thanks for the messages. With this information, the initial plan is close enough to the ARB plan that I don't think we
need to forward the initial plan on to the ARB for review. I will just forward the ARB's previous comments on to JT. One
comment— EC guidelines call for retaining walls over 8' in height to be terraced and planted. I thought the wall was 6'
tall max, but I could be remembering that wrong.

Hello Margaret,
I just left you a lengthy voice mail and decided I should put this in writing for you.
The initial site plan for the Bojangles Restaurant should have included the missing trees you mention below.
They were included on both the ARB and SUP application plans and there is no intent to stray from this layout.
We did however, with our initial site plan submittal, include an offsite road connection (through a potential future hotel
site (parcel 41D5))to Timberwood Blvd.
The connection road requires grading and an extension of the block wall that is shown on the aforementioned ARB and
SUP application plans.
In the most recent ARB submittal, the wall is labelled "Proposed Wall Max Ht=8 FT Segmented Stacking Block. Eagle
Bay Diamond Pro,James River Color" and there is no intent to change the wall material.
It is our intention to continue (in a consistent manner) the landscaping that has been shown below the wall on the
Bojangles site across the length of the offsite wall.
We apologize that we missed these details with the initial site plan submittal and we will include a detailed landscape
plan with the final site plan submittal.
I hope this makes sense. Please call if you'd like to discuss further.
Thanks,
Kelly Strickland

Justin,
A few questions on your recently submitted initial plan for the Hollymead Bojangle's:
1. 4 trees were removed from the frontage and 1 tree was removed from the
north/northwest corner of the site, as compared to the last plan reviewed by
the ARB.Why were these trees removed?
2. The retaining wall has been extended significantly.The note on the plan says,
"standing block retaining wall". Is this meant to be "stacking" block? If not,
please describe "standing" block.
3. I'm trying to determine if the initial plan needs to go to the ARB. Can you list
any other changes made to the plan since the last ARB review?
Thanks.
Margaret
