Also, supplemental plantings <br /> will be provided to meet all screening requirements and any <br /> Other conditions affected by the Special Use Permit. <br /> Impervious surface ratios. -These ratios were in fact provided <br /> in the plan package on the "Preliminary Storm Drainage/Erosion <br /> Control Plan".

The developers <br /> propose to work with these dissenting land owners and provide <br /> a solution using a combination of bufferyard and extensive <br /> 1' supplemental planting. <br /> t <br /> i <br /> I <br /> i <br /> i <br /> i <br /> a <br /> 1 <br /> w..- -. <br />
