Dear Cameron:
1. Zoning Comments — will all be complied with.

will comply with all relevant requirements. This project does not represent new
development, has approximately the same impervious surface as previously and
in fact, because of the change of use, will result in a reduction of site runoff.
3. Engineering Department Comments — all comments will be complied with the
following explanations and exceptions:
Paragraph 3a - N/A
Paragraph 3b - Street Oversizing — we believe a credit should be deducted
from the street oversizing fees based on the square footage of the existing
building on the premises.
Paragraph 3c - Traffic Impact Study will not be required as per Eric Bracke.
Paragraph 3d - N/A
Paragraph 3e - N/A
