It has been hectic here and I want to be sure I had forwarded this to you.
As Gooch predicted we are OK for Phase One with work needed for Phase Two.

Stephen,
Attached is Tier 3 Report.
Just a couple notes for you:
Unless they want to do a daycare or school they should not be classified as a "public water system". With that
being said the well is in a horrible place (without a lot of good options for a new well). We are recommending
some testing be done on the well to make sure the water quality is good and that the water quantity is verified
before phase 2.
Doesn't look like septic needs to be changed till phase 2. It will be an engineered system with time dosing for
sure for phase 2.
I tried to write the tier 3 so it would be applicable for both phase 1 and phase 2. We might have to write an
update memo.
Best,
Mike

Stephen,
We are in the process of proofreading the tier 3 for Chapman groves. It will go out to you on Monday.
Typically we send pdfs to the agent who then submits it to the engineering department. After engineering
review and revision we print out hard copies for all parties.
Is this OK?
Best,

Just to provide some quick info. The path system seems to be an essential element. If we feel some type of deck or
overlook is important—we can ask them to do it in a more public access area between the path and the pond.
The pond is an amenity. While decks overlooking the pond (pong) are mentioned, a deck attached to a restaurant will
be limited to the restaurant customers. That doesn't seem to serve the general public.

David and Elaine,
Amelia, Ron, Francis and I reviewed the relevant information this afternoon and did not find the deck to be an essential
element. We can document the Zoning Division's full rationale for the file (if necessary), but I do agree with their
assessment that it is not an essential element.
Unless we need to discuss it further, I'll get back to Justin by providing the initial site plan approval letter.The deadline
to take an action is tomorrow.

Amelia,

(WO 101111111)
I just met with David and Elaine. Earlier, I met with Elaine and Ron.The current consensus is that the deck is an essential
element of the plan.
I'd like to meet with you to share the discussion up to this point and complete the "as determined by the Zoning
Administrator and Director of Planning" loop for these types of questions.
Are you available this afternoon?
J.T.

Ron and JT,
I believe I said something different the other day (agreeing that a deck was needed) but after seeing this
email from Justin and remembering the evaluation of this when they proposed the Bojangles I believe
that they do not need to do the deck per the narrative in the COD. I apologize for any confusion.
Here is my take on this.
The conflict lies in the uses permitted per the table in the COD and what the narrative states. For this
block there are uses permitted other than a restaurant. This was a discussion that Sarah and I did have
about permitting Bojangles to even consider going there with the SP (at that time)for the drive
though. This was confusing at that time and still is. We determined that the narrative was not intended
to limit uses of the block especially when the table listed multiple uses other than a casual dining
restaurant(which the table does not even list that way). So, we decided that even though the narrative
says"will accommodate a casual dining restaurant" a fast food restaurant would be permitted there and
that the plans that were reviewed at the time of the SP review I do not believe include the"deck" area
and we were fine with that. If a casual dining restaurant were proposed like the Bob Evans then we
would look for what the narrative describes but a fast food restaurant is different, then how to you
require that?
We can discuss further as needed.
Francis

Yes. J.T. has been processing this plan and we talked about the "deck aacrommodation". At my
suggestion, he checked the Bob Evans site plan and it showed such a deck. We concluded that this has
to be addressed somehow, but I am not sure if there is room for interpretation in the word
"accommodated".

Hi Amelia,
I understand you are meeting with JT a little later today about some issues with compliance with the
Code of Development. I've read through that code in detail and it seems to me that it is one of those
codes that was written in a time that we had a bit too much narrative for our own good.
I think JT's concern is that the code and the plan references a deck which is supposed to be
"accommodated" on block 1, lot 1.
While I can't deny that is in the text, I'm not sure that accommodate is the same as require? If it was,
would we also be required to provide a casual dining restaurant? Likewise the rest of block one is"mid-
size retail" are those enforceable?Was the hotel required to obtain a variation to be a hotel not a mid
size retailer?A car wash is permitted in block 1,would that be required to have a deck?You see where
I'm going with this?
Basically it seems to me that the code of development contains some idea's but they are not necessarily
compatible with the table of permitted uses and might not be sufficiently clear to be enforceable.
As a side note, we got all the way through the PC and within a week of the BOS public hearing with the
same layout and never heard a peep about a required deck/etc. If that was to be required it would have
been good to know then as we could have run the variation (assuming one were required)with the SP.
Is it possible that the reviewer of that plan (Sarah Baldwin) reviewed this issue and determined that the
deck was not required?
Let me know your thoughts, I know you've got to enforce that crazy code of development but I guess I
don't read the deck as a requirement but rather encouragement/leaving the opportunity to
accommodate.
Thanks!
