Enclosed are two revised sets of plans and calculations based on the following information: The building footprint on the plans has been further detailed to better delineate the building. The concrete patio areas were included in the calculations for - sidewalk area because they are not covered by roofing. Also, on the previous calculations we had used the dimension of 33'-11" for the side dimension of the buildings, although the detail has -the dimension rounded to 34'. We have changed the calculations to include the larger dimension, and have revised the plans accordingly. This only made a difference of 36 sf more total building area. 2. Due to the very slight adjustment in building area, the required pond surface does not change.

A preliminary review of that information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review: 1. When I add up the impervious areas as dimensioned on the unit footprint, the total for each unit is 670 square feet, for a grand total of 17,420 square feet for the buildings. Please revise the application, supplement and calculations to reflect this. 2. The increased building area has resulted in a deficient surface area in the pond, if all other areas are kept the same. Please note that this request for additional information is in response to a preliminary review. The requested information should be received by this Office prior to February 25, 1999, _ or the application will be returned as incomplete. The return of a project will necessitate resubmittal of all required items, including the application fee. The Division is allowed 90 days from the receipt of a completed application to issue the permit.
