easement. The service line to the site is not required to be in an easement. Once these
locations have been finalized, please show them on final documents. The transformer must
also be adequately screened from the ROW. I was unable to locate any, but please give me
a call if these are located on civil drawings or on another sheet other than A1.1 and I missed
them.
3. Fire lane striping should extend along all routes of the fire lane. Striping is only shown along
end islands, should be located along parking aisles as well.
