Buffer-yard width along the northern property boundary shall be modified in accordance
with Zoning Ordinance Section 12.8.5.D. and in accordance with the recommendation of
the Land Development Official's letter dated 11/22/04. This modification allows the
width of the northern boundary buffer-yard to be reduced to 24.5 feet wide with the
installation of a 6-foot high brick wall as demonstrated on the Special Exception Plat
dated 12/03/04 with the exception of the area immediately adjacent to the bank drive
through lanes. Here the applicant shall provide the minimum required 35-foot wide
buffer-yard with the six-foot high wall as shown on the Special Exception Plat dated
2/20/04 and revised through 12/03/04.
If any existing tree intended to be saved declines to a state of unacceptable risk as
determined by the Urban Forester or dies within five years from the date of final
development plan approval, the applicant will replace the dead tree with an S-3 landscape
screen within the area of the buffer-yard that was initially comprised of the tree's critical
root zone.

The grading at the edge of the drive-through lanes closest to the elm trees shall be revised
to eliminate the slope to the edge of pavement and shall employ a hip-wall to retain the
existing grade and minimize disturbance of the elm's smaller surface roots.
11.
Elevation drawings showing architectural design elements that are consistent with the
architecture of the center presented to the Planning Commission and Town Council shall
be submitted as part of the Land Development Application or No Adverse Impact Plan
for administrative design review.
