We certainly do not intend to exceed the 10,000 sq. ft. limits but I do realize that we are cutting it close. I will mark the site out prior to grading so that we do not have any confusion onsite. I'm fairly certain that the two plans are identical as I transferred the lines from that grading plan straight to the overlay. However, on the full site plan, there is a solid line that indicates a planting bed where we will be installing woodland shrubs individually (no tilling). This line is outside the limits of disturbance but could easily be mistaken for a proposed grade change. Is this perhaps the difference that you are seeing between the two plans? If not, please let me know and I'll correct the discrepancy before issuing any plans to contractors. Thanks again, ~Tiffany Tiffany S. Mccord Landscape Designer, VSLD !

I'll be glad to reach out to Frank, but before I do, I just wanted to clarify the reasoning behind your call for the VSMP. I am guessing that it is because the bounding boxes on the plan total more than 10,000 sf? I realize now that I could have been more clear on my overlays in regards to the limits of disturbance versus the areas of improvement. The bounding box shown on the plan is inclusive of both grading improvements and simple landscaping improvements that will not require any grading or excavation. I've attached a grading plan for your review so that you can see the limits of disturbance totaling approximately 9,400 sf. I did not submit a grading plan overlay but am happy to include one in the submission if it is helpful. Thanks very much, "Tiffs ny Tiffany S.

It sounds like you are referring to the "proposed changes" box that includes a small patio behind the main building. If so, the Pines and Cedars that are on the Site Plan dated January 7, 2005 are no longer present having declined or been removed prior to this phase of development. i tried to gray out the old graphics to denote that these trees are no longer a part of the landscape. The other Cedars adjacent to the patio (in darker lines) will remain and additional trees and shrubs will be added to improve the somewhat barren landscape there. Let me know if I've answered your question accurately. Best, -Tiffany Tiffany S.

On Sheet L-1, Landscape Plan of the plans, is the existing vegetation on the southwestern section of the property, that is encompassed in the box of "Proposed Changes to Approved Site Plan", to be removed prior to planting of new vegetation or will it remain and simply be supplemented by new vegetation?
