McGhee Road - Tom Gilpin is aware and he is working on the road with VDOT. I've discussed this comment with the owner and he understands. 2. 1 have removed the four office employees from the count and added the 1600 sf of office space to the calculations. 3. The signage information on the cover sheet has been changed to a monument sign instead of building mounted. 4. The swales, powerline, and holding tanks have been labeled on sheet 2. 5.

Attached are the approval letters from all other agencies. Thank you, (Gary li.

At this time, administrative approval cannot be granted. This site plan is denied until the issues in this letter, as well as all issues of the other review agencies, have been adequately addressed. Please review Staff's comments listed below and then prepare a revised site plan which adequately addresses each concern. Review Comments: 1) McGhee Road. It appears that this segment of McGhee Road is not in the state system yet. This needs to occur, or be bonded, before the site plan can be approved. 2) Parking Calculations. On the coversheet, the parking calculation only shows the total number of employees. Indicate if the building has any office areas, as these need to be parked separately. 3) Signage. The coversheet only references a building mounted sign but sheet 2 shows a 25 foot tall freestanding sign. The maximum height for a freestanding sign on this property is 12 feet (monument). 4) Labeling. On sheet 2, label the grass swales, the seven holding tanks and label the overhead electric as being removed and placed underground. 5) Curb Height. The rear of the site shows a two inch header curb; six inches is the minimum curb height. Also, the plan shows the use of concrete wheelstops and the use of bio- retention areas. The elimination of the curb in this area requires the approval of the Public Works Department (they will specifically need to reference approval of the elimination of the curb /gutter). 6) Directional Arrows. Provide directional arrows as indicated on sheet 2. 7) Loading Spaces. The loading spaces need to be delineated. 8) Dumpster. Label the dumpster area. 9) Curb Detail. Provide a detail for the proposed header curb. 10) Wall Pack Lighting. The proposed lighting on sheet 8 shows it as a "cut -off' fixture. Ensure that this type of lighting is a "full cut -off' fixture. Provide the actual mounting height of the fixtures. 11) Headlight Screening. The 36 inch screening fence on sheet 8 is difficult to delineate. Indicate the total length of this fence. 107 North Kent Street, Suite 202 • Winchester, Virginia 22601 -5000 9 0 Mr. Gary Oates, GreyWolfe, Inc.
