c. Finished Floor Elevations (FFEs) and building heights <br />d. Proposed Setbacks <br />e. Impervious surface ratio (existing and proposed) <br />f. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) <br />g. Utility Providers (i.e. Durham water and sewer) <br />h. Number of proposed parking spaces (even though the number is 0) <br />à Information has been added to the Cover Sheet. <br />6. The scale on the site plan says 1”=30’. However the site plan measures out to 1”=60’ <br />à Site Plan scale has been corrected. <br />7. The site plan shows a 50’ stream buffer to the south, but this stream is not shown on USGS quadrangle <br />maps or in the Orange County Soil Survey. As such, you do not need to show the stream or 50’ buffer on <br />the Orange County portion of the site plan. <br />Our maps do show a jurisdictional stream on the western edge of the lot, which requires a 65’ stream <br />buffer measured from the top of bank on either side. If based on your field work you think the stream <br />maps are incorrect, please contact Steve Kaltenbach, Erosion Control Officer II, to arrange for a Surface <br />Water Identification Test (919-245-2588). <br />à The stream buffers have been removed from the channel parallel to Old Erwin Road and added to the <br />feature in the northwest corner of the site. Per our correspondence, this feature is not subject to the <br />65’ buffers, but only to the 50’ buffers specified by the State. <br />8. Complete the enclosed Environmental Assessment (EA) form per Sections 2.7.3(B)(8) and 6.16.3. <br />à Completed EA form is attached. <br />9. Submit a landscape plan in accordance with Section 6.8. Include a description of the tree stands, <br />including type (e.g., hardwood or evergreen, canopy or understory), average height, and average <br />diameter at breast height (DBH). Submitting a landscape plan for the BOA will show compliance with <br />Sections 2.7.3(B)(3) and 5.7.2(A)(6), which will bolster your case. <br />à No new plantings are proposed at this time. Descriptions and locations of existing tree stands and <br />locations, sizes, and species of specimen hardwood trees 18” DBH and larger have been added to the <br />Existing Conditions Plan. <br />10. The county’s RRMO will apply to that portion of the project located in Orange County (which is the <br />majority of the proposed new construction.) As such, the standard OCSW construction notes must be <br />added to the cover sheet (SP-1) of the plans. <br />à Orange County Solid Waste construction notes have been added to Sheet SP-1. <br />91
