prior to approval of the building permit for that building.
4. Add the standard mechanical equipment note to the plan. "Visibility of all mechanical
equipment from the Entrance Corridor shall be eliminated."
5. Revise the lighting plan to indicate the number of lumens emitted by the sign floodlights.
Ensure that the fixtures emit less than 3,000 lumens.
6. Coordinate the number of plants illustrated on the plan with the quantities listed in the plant
lists.
7. Revise the landscape plan to'clearly and accurately identify all plants. Coordinate the plan
and plant schedules.
8. Move the following plants from the "supplemental" list to the "required" list: the AP at the
northwest corner of Building A, the plants along the EC elevation of Building B, and the trees
along the EC -elevation of Building D.
9. Provide assurance that the utility easement and the planting along the EC frontage can coexist.
10. Ensure that the correct quantity of EC street trees is provided and increase the planting size of
all EC street trees to 3Y2" caliper minimum.
