Boulder wall details calls for a 6’0” boulder retaining wall, which is inconsistent with the site plan – this discrepancy needs to be clarified and should be detailed properly with the
site plan.
The drainage appears to flow toward the garage, recommend increasing the slab elevations and revising the driveway to avoid possible drainage problems.
Driveway spot elevations do not coincide with contours. Contour missing at site entrance.
Landscaping should be moved out of the road right of way and not impede proper drainage within the Town of Avon’s snow storage, drainage and utility easements.

alteration of existing topography.
