John O’Sullivan November I, 1996 Page 3 These potential changes suggest that it is premature to proceed \\ith a detailed Commercial site plan review at this time, because information is either lacking or will be revised in the near future. The additional "unknowns" which dfi need to be resolved in order for your site plans to become firm, include whether the parking setback, structural coverag e and hardcover variances w ill be approved. As noted abov e, you should prov ided written justification why these variances should be granted. Variances must be supported by adequate and legitimate hardships.

Complete proposed site grading plans showing all existing and proposed contours, the volume of cuts and fills, the stormwater pond design, the location, construction and height of proposed retaining walls, etc. (I suggest you contact Shawn Gustafson regarding additional information he may require to be shown). 4. Written addendum in support of the variances requested. Your street vacation request will be presented for review by the Planning Commission on November 18, since that outcome impacts your further site planning. Also, we will be prepared to discuss the setback, hardcover and structural coverage variances at that time so that you can gain some sense
