Non-contiguous LEED boundary

I am working on a school renovation / addition project. The LEED boundary is currently indicated as being around the new / renovated buildings only as we are not doing work on other existing buildings, sports fields, or open spaces on site / campus. There is a new bio-retention pond going in on a remote portion of the site to accommodate storm water runoff which is not adjacent to the LEED building and I have indicted it as a seperate portion of the LEED project with a LEED boundary around it. One of the preliminary deisgn review comments indicated the LEED boundary is not compliant as it needs to be continuous and therefore violates the MPR 3 for a reasonable site boundary; however, the land between the new retention pond and the LEED project has no new work occurring on it. Should I try to persuade the reviewer to reconsider (is there anything I can site as precedent) or should I connect the boundaries of the LEED building and the new retention pond with areas that are not being worked on? Any help / guidance would be appreciated.
