Chris,
Per our conversation a few weeks ago Jim Veale the President of Lighthouse has prepared a letter to request the
sidewalk into the site not be required.
Please run this by your boss for approval and let us know if this justification is acceptable to remove that sidewalk or if
there is any more information we can provide.
Thank you for you help on this item,
Jonathan

Jonathan,
The sidewalks need to go from the road to the building. People entering and leaving the building need to have
safe and convenient access to their cars and to the sidewalks along the new road.

Chris,
Thank you for your response on the trees being allowed being the sidewalk.
Talking with Jim the president of Lighthouse about the sidewalk we are wondering if the sidewalk connecting into the
building is a code enforceable requirement or if only the sidewalk along the road is required by code?
Please see the email from Jim with their request and reasoning below:
We would like to confine the sidewalk on our project to the road. We know the county is requiring sidewalks on roads
where new development is occurring. We would however like to keep the sidewalk confined to the road and not enter
the site. We don't expect employees to be walking along the road and don't want to invite any other citizenry walking
down the road up onto the property for safety and security reasons.
Thanks,
Jim -
Please let us know if it is acceptable to confine the sidewalk to the road.
Thank you,
Jonathan

Jonathan,
I spoke to the Agent, street trees may be planted behind the sidewalk in the 10' parking setback.
However, you should extend the sidewalk at the front of the building and the sidewalk from the parking area to
the sidewalk on the public road. Thus permitting people to walk from the building and their cars to the
sidewalk.

Subject: RE: Light House Instruments Site Plan
Chis and Adam,
We are trying to determine if we can satisfy both County Comment#6 (requiring a sidewalk along the street)
and the County Comment#14 (to provide street trees)without relocating the building or redesigning it to make
it a smaller footprint.
Please see the attached Layout Plan with red updates.
From a county perspective this addresses the comments with a 20' wide road with 10' lanes+CG6 then a 3°
de sidewalk on the back of curb. T4he street trees would be orouided behind the sidewalk. Ok
From a VDOT perspective this approach assumes no Economic Development Access Funds are used and
therefore we are back to a logic that we are vastly upgrading the existing road from what was there to allow for
entrance site distance and turning movements... without bringing all the way up to a full standard section.
Please let us know if this approach would work on your end or if you have any thoughts or comments.
Thank you for you input,
Jonathan

All,
Lets plan on Wednesday at 3pm.
Chris and JT is there a room at the county where we can all meet in?
Adam shared the attached email with me that had some responses from Bill to Joel that may help further the discussion
of what will be required for this road section if the fund is used and what items the fund pay for.
Look forward to meeting with you all Wednesday at 3,
Jonathan

Adam,JT and Chris,
Thank you for your replay. It sounds like 3pm Wednesday works best on our end.
Joel does 3pm Wednesday the 2nd work for you?
Chris,
To answer your question about what we would like to discuss. Some of the questions that have come up that we would
like to clarify are what would be required for the road upgrades if the fund money is used vs if it is not. Also the extents
of the road upgrades and sidewalk extension required. Our previous experience with this grant is that the money can
only be used for a basic 24'wide road section with shoulders and ditches however in this project it appears additional
curb and gutter and maybe sidewalk is being required.
Look forward to talking with you all,
Jonathan
