Piccadilly Street, Suite 200 Winchester, Virginia 22601 Re_ Review Comments for Site Plan 411 -11; Sheetz Gas Station and Carwash Property Identification Number (PIN): 54 -A -105 Dear Ron: Planning Staff has reviewed the above - referenced site plan to determine if administrative approval can be granted. 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 prepare a revised site plan which adequately addresses each concern. Review Comments: 1) Zoninlz District Buffer. On sheet 8, the zoning district buffer needs to be extended to incorporate the portion of the property that was added to the Sheetz propery through a BLA. The fence also needs to be shown on sheet 6. 2) Dumpster Details. On sheet 12, there is a note about the trash enclosure having slats for screening; this is not permitted. The enclosure must be constructed with an opaque board -on -board fence or masonry wall (or similar material). 3) Photometric Plan. The photometric plan needs to be revised as follows: • Provide notations that all lighting fixtures are full cut -off fixtures. Provide a detail for each lighting fixture that is shown in the luminaire schedule (catalog cuts and illustrations by manufacturers can be submitted in lieu of showing the fixtures on the site plan sheets). a Show the property boundary on the photometric plan and ensure that the lighting levels do not exceed 0.2 at the property boundary shared with the residential use. The lighting levels for the canopy area cannot exceed an average maintained lighting level of twenty (20) foot - candles — the plan shows an average of 30. After you have revised the site plan, please resubmit two copies so that I may verify the information contained on the plan. I will need all approved review agency comment sheets and at least five copies of the final plan for approval. Comment sheets are required from the following agencies: the Virginia Department of Transportation, the Frederick County, Inspections Department, the Frederick County Engineer, the Frederick County Fire Marshal, and the Frederick County Sanitation Authority. 107 North Kent Street, Suite 202 • Winchester, Virginia 22601 -5000 Mr. Ron Mislowsky Patton Harris Rust & Associates.

I have attached two copies here. Specific responses to each comment are as follows: 1. Special Limited Power ofAttorney Form.

This form should be notarized and completed to grant the applicant (you) with authorization to represent them for this site plan. The Special Limited Power of Attorney is attached. 2. Photometric Plan. A photometric plan needs to be provided with this submission. Please note that all outdoor lighting for this site needs to conform with x'165- 201 -07.

Crosswalks also need to be shown for all entrances. A 5' sidewalk and crosswalks have been added to the plans. 4. Existing Sign.

All new signage shall comply with current regulations. 5. Relocated Shed. The relocated shed along Regency Lakes Drive needs to be moved out of the front setback area and out of the active distance buffer. The shed has been relocated. 117 East Piccadilly Street, Winchester, VA 22601 -5002 • Tel: 540 -667 -2139 Fax: 540- 665 -0493 www.phro.com www.pennoni.com 16816 -1 -0 • July 8, 2011 • Page 2 Frederick County Planning Sheetz Gas Station and Carwash — Rt. 7 6.
