RE: LOR #2 SDP2002-137 ACAC Four Seasons Major Amendment — Letter of Revision
Dear Mr. Collins:
Your Letter of Revision application has been reviewed. In order for the amended site plan to be
approved the following revisions are required:
1. [Comment] Put revision clouds around all changes specific to LOR #2 on the proposed
changes exhibit
2. [32.6.2(a) & 32.5.2(a)] Provide a note specifying the setbacks for the parcel.
3. [32.6.2(a) & 32.5.2(n)] Provide dimensions from the proposed deck to each of the boundary
lines of the parcel at their closest point.
4. [32.6.2(a) & 32.5.2(a)] Ensure that the proposed deck meets all setback requirements.
5. [32.7.945, 32.7.9.7 & 32.7.9.9] Ensure that the required landscaping is preserved or replaced.
The proposed deck appears to necessitate the removal of some of the required landscaping
shown on SDP1888-98 (see attached scan of that site plan) and may adversely impact much of
the remaining landscaping in the immediate vicinity. Trees directly impacted are 40', 20', and
15' from the property line. The deck, along the existing fence, appears to be between 15' and
18' from the property line. Therefore all three trees mentioned above would need to be
replaced. Most of these trees are street trees and therefore should be spaced accordingly. Also
there are thirteen screening shrubs along the road in that vicinity. At least four of these appear
to be in the area impacted by the proposed deck.
6. [32.6.2(a) & 32.5.1(b)] Since the graphic for the LOR is not scalable, provide dimensions
between any proposed street trees.
7. [32.7.9.7] Screening is required. Ensure that the existing required screening is preserved or
replaced. Revise LOR to specify how the area will continue to be screened.
8. [32.7.9, 32.6.2(a) & 32.5.1(p)] For any trees or shrubs to be replaced provide either labels or a
planting schedule that specifies all required information for those plantings. Include all of the
required information about the plantings including items such as species, count, size at time
planting, etc. on the site plan.
9. [Comment] The LOR submission was submitted to Engineering and Building Inspections for
their review. They did not have any objections.
In accord with the provisions of Section 32.4.3.5 of Chapter 18 of the Code if the developer fails to
submit a revised final site plan to address all of the requirements within six (6) months after the date of
this letter the application shall be deemed to have been voluntarily withdrawn by the developer.
If you have any questions about the comments please feel free to contact me at
