Ornamental trees have been added and the canopy trees have been adjusted along
J.F.K. Parkway.
2. Please indicate in the General Notes or on the Site Plan exactly where the
walk-up A.T.M. is located.
The walk-up A.T.M. will be placed inside the foyer at the main entrance to the bank on
the south side of the building.
3. Is there any shade structure, trellis, canopy, etc. for the benefit of the drive -
through facilities? If so, please provide a character sketch or illustrative
depiction of what this looks like. The materials and color should neutral in tone
so as to not detract from the building. The Lighting Plan indicates that there are
to be recessed fixtures illuminating this area. What are these fixtures recessed
into?
A note regarding the canopy design over the drive-thru facilities has been added to the
site plan. The lighting shown over the drive-thru facilities on previous plans was to be
recessed into the canopy. Since the canopy is not part of the design at this time the
lighting above the drive-thru facilities has been removed and will be added at the time
the canopy is designed.
4. Please indicate that any lighting associated with such structure shall be
fully shielded so the light source is not visible by expanding General Note
Number 5.
Note number 5 on the site plan has been revised.
Please let us know if you have any other issues.
Sincerely:
loe
