Topic: Site Lighting Number: 29 Created: 3/8/2007 [3/8/07] Light levels along the north side of the building fronting on Birch are higher than what is necessary. For better uniformity and conservation purposes please consider reducing the number of fixtures proposed in this area. Photometric plan revised accordingly.

Topic Site Plan Number: 18 Created: 3/8/2007 [3/8/07] In the NCB portion of the project you propose 735 sq. ft. of commercial "business service" uses. Medical/dental clinics, professional offices and Page 3 Number: 21 Created: 3/8/2007 [3/8/07] Please show the total area for all landscape categories (based on water Qyi requirements and maintenance levels). See the PDP Submittal Requirements for a list of items to be included on all landscape plans. Completed, refer to plan Number: 22 Created: 3/8/2007 [3/8/07] Per Section 3.2.1(D)(2)(b) canopy shade trees (not ornamental) are required behind the sidewalk along Birch St every 30 to 40 feet. If the building is 6� moved north as we discussed for drainage purposes, then canopy shade trees will be required. If the building stays where it is proposed now, perhaps a mix of canopy and ornamental trees could be explored. Due to the proximity of the building to the street and sidewalk area, there is not adequate space for canopy trees. As the trees mature, they would grow into the building, which would be detrimental to both the building and the trees. Ornamental trees are proposed for this area, planted at an average of 20'-0" o.c. and will be up -sized from the required minimum tree sizing in lieu of the canopy trees. Number: 23 Created: 3/8/2007 [318107] Per Section 3.2.1(E)(4)(a) trees shall be provided every 40 feet along side 4V, lot line of parking setback areas.
