The applicant shall either have his professionals prepare a site plan in compliance with the Ordinance or request a waiver of this requirement. 1.2. Architectural drawings were not submitted that depict any changes to the interior of the building which would warrant the need for the additional exit and exterior staircase. 1.3. We defer to the report of the Board’s planning consultant on the proposed use of the building. 2. Demolition 2.1. The Applicant shall provide testimony regarding any demolition that will occur on site to construct the stairs along a portion of the southerly side of the building. 3. Layout 3.1. The Applicant shall provide testimony regarding the existing site conditions, proposed improvements, and conformance with applicable ordinances and regulations. 4. Grading & Drainage 4.1. While it appears there will not be any increase in impervious coverage, the Applicant’s experts shall provide testimony on the same. 4.2.
