Correct site data notes 10, 12 & 14 to correspond with the revised building area. 2. Correct site data note 10 to account for the mezzanine and additional parking. 3. Correct site data note 12A to account for the mezzanine. 4. For site data note 13, staff calculates the gross site is 545,807 sqft. 5. On Sheet 2.01, correct the following items in the zoning summary chart: a. There is no minimum lot width for retail in B-2. b. There is no maximum limit of building stories, just building height. c. A 40? rear yard is required against ?R? zoning. 6. The concrete 4? islands to the north and south of the fueling center should be redesigned as landscape strips for ornamental trees and shrubs. 7. Continue the sidewalk along Starling Dr. to the southernmost property line. 8. Show the sidewalk/access between the northern most parking lot to the church. 9. Move the cart spaces in the northern most parking lot so they are not adjacent to landscape islands. The carts can be moved in a couple of spaces. 10. Remove the existing space overlay west of the Wellness Center from the layout plan. 11. The concrete island adjacent to the propane tanks should be redesigned as landscape a landscape island. 12.
