The following revisions are requested to make the proposal consistent with the design criteria that apply to the County -wide Certificate as well as the Minor Amendment. 1. Please revise the submitted Site Plan (Sheet C3 of 8, dated 5/7/18) to show just the proposed demolition plan. 2. Please revise the landscape plan (Sheet C5 of 8, last revision dated 10/18/16, prepared by Shimp Engineering) of the approved Major Amendment to the Final Site Plan of Nationwide, SDP2016-121 to show the proposed additional landscaping and proposed fencing. Include: a. A revised landscape schedule that includes approved plants as well as proposed plants. Ensure that the landscape schedule indicates plant species with both common and botanical names, quantity, size at planting, and symbol used. b. A fence detail and elevation that illustrates the appearance of the fence and stipulates material(s) and the specific color(s) proposed. Include the plants in the fence elevation. c. Identification of the 12 parking spaces that are dedicated to vehicles awaiting repair. The submitted information does not clearly show how providing an 80' section of fence, projecting that section forward 18" from the remaining fence, providing two corners, and adding 5 groups of 4 plants will be sufficient to achieve an appropriate appearance for the EC. Please clearly show how the fence design, materials, color and planting work together to establish an appropriate appearance. In particular, the quantity, type and spacing of the landscaping material are critical to a successful design. The EC screening fence design criteria are copied at the end of this letter for your reference. Within 15 days of the date of this letter, please send me a letter (by email is acceptable) indicating whether you will or will not proceed with these revisions. If you choose not to proceed with these revisions, staff will be unable to approve your application. If you choose to proceed with the revisions, please forward me one set of revised drawings together with a memo summarizing the revisions you've made. Your decision to make the revisions will suspend the 60-day review period associated with your original submittal. However, I expect to complete the review of your revised proposal within 2 weeks of your re -submittal. If you have any questions about this action, please contact me as soon as possible. I look forward to receiving your revisions and completing this review with an approval letter.
