	Mr. Morris noted that the following requests from the last meeting have been addressed:
* A graphic scale should be added to all drawings.
* The plans should be revised to reflect the existing pathways on the site.
* The plans should be revised to reflect that the property is located in the RC Zoning District.
* A simulation of the view of the proposed addition from Route 9 should be submitted.
* More detailed information regarding storm water should be submitted.
* The specific location of the re-located fire hydrant must be identified on the plan.

Mr. Bannon added that a storm water permit had to be obtained.

This is a storm line swale and does require erosion control because the project is more than one acre.
