Discussion:

• Mr. David Hanoute, CHMP, spoke to the commission regarding this plan and stated:
1. The plan shows the new proposed Rite Aid building, parking and the new front elevations of the existing building. (28,000 square feet will remain in the existing building with approximately 18,000 square feet being demolished.)
2. The brick on both buildings will match.
3. The new green belt on the Elms Road side is shown on the plan.
4. The ZBA has granted a parking variance for this site.
5. Construction of the Rite Aid building should start after this plan approval and demolition and remodeling of the existing building should start in the spring of next year.
• Mr. Bow asked Mr. Hanoute if any agreement had been reached with the County West owners (to the east) regarding ingress/egress for the traffic flow from the back of the existing building. (This was discussed at a previous site plan approval and still will need to be addressed.)
• Mr. Johnson asked Mr. Hanoute to check on the following:
1. A missing notation on the plan regarding a curb cut on Pierson Road. (Should   be note # 7 on the plan.)
2. Clarification notes on permits required from the City and County Road Commission.
3. Clarification on drainage line locations.  (New discharge approvals will be needed if any drainage locations are being changed.)
