Page 5 of 19 1. The report and map was not updated to reflect encroachments into the undisturbed buffer. The areas include:  The buffer on the east side of Edgefield Road.  The buffer on the east side of Edgefield Road Extension.  The area on the west side of Sediment Basin #5, beyond the limits of the original driveway.  The buffer adjacent to the Berry and Carrie Criswell tract. The maps show the gravel road on the edge of the buffer. Aerial Photos show clearing on the west side of the road. Exhibit EXC-110 also shows the area as an impact. Landscaping plan 1. The Kleinfelder buffer encroachment report does not appear to include or evaluate buffer widths based on the right of way location. This impacts the report for buffer locations along public right of ways and Kimley-Horn notes concern the areas that need plantings. The Kleinfelder report has not been updated, but the Kimley-Horn Conditional Use Permit Drawings and Landscape plans have adjusted the proposed landscaping areas to reflect the location of the public right of ways. 2. The plan does not propose to fully restore buffers that were to remain undisturbed. Some areas are to only be reseeded and other will receive supplemental plantings. These areas should have full restoration plantings unless a tree survey is prepared for each area documenting that the existing tree and shrubs meet the minimum standards. This comment applies to:  The area south of Array 24.  The B3-B area should have full restoration rather than supplemental or replacement understory tree plantings.  The encroachments into the B6 area should have additional plantings to meet the standards for full restoration.  The B3-A area should have the required supplemental buffer plantings rather than replacement buffer plantings.  The north side of Joyner road should have required supplemental buffer plantings under the power line.  The encroachment into area B1-B and B1-C should have required supplemental buffer plantings.  The encroachment into B7 area on the south side of Joyner Road and east of area B3-A should have required supplemental buffer plantings. The additional information provided concerning the existing condition of the buffer does not document the number of shrubs or trees within the existing buffer or provide information on the actual width of the wooded buffer. The exhibit shows views from the site towards adjacent properties rather than from the property line into the site. 3. The condition of the buffer adjacent to the Christopher and Loli Finsel tract needs to be evaluated. This area was previously timbered and does not appear to have a 100 foot wooded buffer.
