On July 22 and 23, 2024, a final inspection was performed for SP 35-2021 (originally approved as “Mountain Vista Properties (Chris Racicot)”) and SP 22-2023 (approved as “Schermerhorn
Real Estate Holdings”). Per Condition of Approvals 3j for both projects, an “As-built” site plan will be required due to unapproved changes which include:
1) Some areas approved to be permeable have been paved including landscape area in front of Building #20, landscape areas between Buildings #3 and #9 and between Buildings #9 and #15
and a larger trash enclosure pad has been constructed. A new site permeable calculation will be required to ensure compliance with the minimum requirement.
2) Changes to the stormwater infrastructure: some overflow spillways separating the sediment forebays from the infiltration basins are missing.
3) Changes to the landscaping (see note below regarding missing landscape trees on the north side of the site development).
Other deficiencies include: the top course of pavement has not yet been constructed, which also results in some areas of pavement not pitching to the stormwater basins resulting in stormwater
ponding on the existing binder course of pavement.
An “As-built” site plan for both projects will need to be provided prior to the CO being issued for Building #15. In the Clark R. Wilkinson, P.E. July 19, 2024 certification letter
(see attached), he describes why the approved trees were not planted (noted above in #3) due to a new project planned impacting this area. Being a new project is being designed for
the property adjacent to the current project (north side), a modification for SP 35-2021 and SP 22-2023 should be applied for and reviewed along with the new project.
September 10, 2024: status was changed to "Partial Pass" from "Pending" (Note: "Partial Pass" was not an option back in July of 2024 for zoning inspections).
September 10, 2024: Status is changed to "Passed". Per the Zoning Administrator, now that the parcels have been combined, which includes both SP 22-2023 and SP 35-2021, the older site
plan can be passed, and the owner will apply for an as-built site plan approval for parcel 309.10-1-60 before the CO is issued for the last building (15 Mountain Vista). Good for sign-off
for SP 35-2021.
