1. Original submittal was in September, not July. Please correct title block.
2. Please place the appropriate curb and pavement detail on the site plan sheet. Are all
three types of curb shown in the details proposed on site? Where is dowelled in curb to
be used? The pavement depth is different on each detail provided. What is proposed?
3. I still cannot locate the fire lanes on the site plan.
4. The interior island requirement is in addition to the end island requirement. Of the 529
s.f. of island that you have proposed, 360 s.f. are required to meet the end island

Since a total of 204 s.f. is required, 35 s.f. is still out standing.

12'. Any curbing, bollards, fencing, etc. should be outside of this area.
6. Please include the streetscape point calculations and required tree calculations on the
landscape plan.
7. Please include grading on the landscape plan (of slope, grassed areas, etc.).

details.
