currently in progress. The site plan of April 2016 had included landscaping that was to remain and new
landscaping to be installed. Google aerial of 2012 shows existing trees along Old Aviation Rd where only a
few remain as seen in photos provided.

changes. On the North side of the property the planting plan includes from west to east one red maple, four
amur maples,then a line of evergreen shrubs—holly,juniper, and arborvitae. The line of evergreen shrubs is
to be 5-6 ft for the arborvitae and then the lower shrubs to provide screening to the neighbors and roadway.
The previous plan had trees and shrub to remain - four of the trees in that area had been removed already.

9 and one on Old Aviation Rd and a pass through at the front of the building, 2 order stations, and site
landscaping for the islands, entryway, and property border.
