[10/1/07] Do you intend to have this modification processed as a standalone modification
prior to a PDP? If so, we'll probably need to have at least some sort of exhibit showing the
proposed layou, including the size of the proposed building, where is it intended to be
placed on the site, access point locations along Elizabeth and/or between sites and location
of proposed walkways and landscapinq.

[10/1/07] For the parking standard if tion, you will either need to submit the
information needed for an exception oraddress the procedural requirements in Section
2.8.2 (H). As you stated in your letter of request, an estimate of the number of employees

[10/1/07] In your letter, at the beginning of the build -to line modification request on page 2,
you note that build -to lines shall be established 'to the extent reasonably feasible' with 'to the
extent reasonably feasible' underlined. A careful reading of this section shows that build -to
lines are mandatory on new buildings and to the extent reasonably feasible on existing
buildings and additions. Since this lot is vacant, the 'to the extent reasonably feasible'
clause does not apply.

[10/1/07] The hearing officer will want to see evidence that you attempted to meet the
standards. It would be prudent to work up some plans that meet the standards as best as
