Andrew, 

Thanks for reaching out on this.  I know I owe you an answer.  I actually went out and looked at it and we decided that the spacing on Marginal Way looks fine as shown on your plan.  However, we also took a look at Kennebec Street and you'll notice in the approval letter that I included a condition about distributing those lights more evenly along the property line.  I believe this is the only item in the conditions that should be at all new to you. 

We looked at Monday's plans in our development review meeting today and I pressed folks to let me know if their final comments had been addressed.  I'm hoping to have either confirmation of this or any additional/outstanding comments very soon.  

In this light, I looked at the conditions that originate with me and I have a few follow up comments:

- The snow storage note still appears on the landscape plan, as do references to Note #18 (which has been removed).  Could you revise?  Since you're planning to remove all snow from the site, could you add a note as such?

- The lights on Kennebec Street should be the medium Bayside fixtures, and I believe your specs are correct, but you list the lights on both streets as 'large scale' on the site plan.  Could you revise your note to clarify this?

- The curbing along the walkway at the east property line appears to have been eliminated.  Can you replace?  (Tom will note this in his comments as well.  He wanted you to add something there in addition to the curbing to prevent parked cars from encroaching on the sidewalk).  

Again, I will let you know when/if additional comments come in.  It's not worth another revision until I've heard from everyone. 

Thanks, Andrew. 

Nell

Hi Nell,

I just wanted to check in quickly on one of the outstanding items on Century tire.  You had indicated in your final comments that you were going to take a look at the location of one of the street lights on Kennebec Street to see if there was a better spot for it. Could you let us know what your thoughts are on this and we will adjust the plans as and if necessary.

Thanks and regards,
Andrew
