Site Plan Analysis

Department Comments
Arborist: Tree removal permit required.
Building: No comment.
Engineering: No comment.
Environmental:
Discussed with applicant installation of enhanced swale on the north end of the building to treat proposed additional impervious area.
Please have a look at the requirements for enhanced swale regarding excavation (30-inches of permeable soil amended by adding sand to achieve 50-60% sand content) and for appropriate vegetation in a wet swale. Please revise the section to show this. Also, don't get too concerned about generating contours - if it makes sense given the lack of topography, feel free to use spot shots and dimensions on the plan.
Fire:
These plans were for exterior changes, however the application states "interior" as well. These plans require no comments from me on the exterior, but any interior changes must comply with the latest edition of the adopted Codes for Life Safety.
Transportation: No comment
