This ramp will have to be incorporated in a 180 sq. ft island or you will need to provide a 180 sq. ft. end island on each side of the ramp. ➢ This item was clarified via phone conversation with Jennifer Reeves: This ramp is already incorporated in an end island (full parking lot space width & depth + overhang). This ramp is being provided as a convenience feature to lead over to the kitchen. The adjoining sidewalk is full width & corresponds to the width of the ramp / island (all paved). 7. Please delineate which portion of the subject property is zoned A -0 and which portion is zoned R -1. > Notation & frontage line graphic have been added as requested. 8.

As deemed by the Administrator the existing and proposed detention and retention ponds cannot be considered as water features.

The existing pond to be reworked over by the existing Rectory will NOT be allowed for credit as it is not visible to most public rights of way. The proposed plaza paving will be allowed as a site amenity credit (additional computer rendered view of courtyard spaces provided to City for demonstration of general intent). Required point calculations have been adjusted accordingly. 12. Show barricade detail. Please be aware that 1 -ft. per caliper inch must be located within the barricaded area and must not be disturbed.
