It appears the applicant is actively moving forward with the plans through discussions and submitals of revised TIA and ARB applications; however, due to the complexity of the various overlapping items many incremental approvals and reviews must be accomplished by various departments prior to resubmittal and or approval of the mitigation plan. * SDP2013-35 minor site plan amendment_Landscape Mitigation Plan 1St round of comments sent on 7-3-13, staff has not received a resubmittal from the applicant. The applicant made an ARB application ARB-2013-174, ARB approval is one of the requirements to move forward with the proposal. Subsequently the applicant submitted ARB2014-40, which goes to the ARB on May 5th. Thus it appears this mitigation plan(minor amendment)proposal should take into consideration the ARB findings on May 5th and the mitigation plan may need to be revised to match (if it doesn't already match) what ARB reviews/approves. A second submittal of the minor amendment has not been submitted by the applicant to address the 7-3-13 comments. This minor amendment/mitigation plan will be utilized to process the Special Exception request for the 20' buffer disturbance per Chapter 18 Section 21.7(c)1. The Special Exception for the"20' buffer disturbance waiver" is still applicable. This will be require to go to the BOS. Please note that the Special Exception for the Critical Slope Waiver associated with the Gas Station Site plan is no longer applicable, as the ordinance recently changed (on March 5, 2014) how the County handles these slopes. The slopes onsite are now categorized as "Managed Slopes" a waiver is not required to disturb them; however, the improvements proposed on these slopes must meet design standards provided in 30.7.5 to mitigate the impacts caused by the disturbance of the slopes. Engineering is your primary contact for this aspect of the initial site plan. * ARB-2013-174: Briarwood Commercial. and then * ARB2014-40: Briarwood Commercial. This submittal goes to ARB May 5,2014.
