6. Dimension the width of the ingress/egress. DS 2-02.2.1.A.11.

7. There is a dimension of 35' located within the scenic corridor buffer and it is not clear what this dimension is for. Remove, if dimension is not necessary or label dimension for plan clarity.

8. There are several keynotes that appear pointing to the indicated subject, however the subject is not there. The AutoCAD overlay seems to be off. Please check all keynote locations for the correct subject content.

9. A grading permit is required when the subject site has 50 cubic yards of fill or more. Please submit a grading permit application card (the green card) and the grading plan with the second submittal. DS 11-01
