MEMORANDUM
TO: Megan Yaniglos
FROM: Margaret Maliszewski
DATE: September 9, 2009
RE: SDP: 2009 -58: Luckstone Corp. Proposed Entrance & Office Bldg - Prelim
I have reviewed the site plan with revision date of August 25, 2009 (site plan sheets 1 — 5, plus
landscape plan revised November 26, 2008) for the above - referenced project and I have the
following comments:
1. The landscape plan includes planting that matches the landscaping proposed at the
entrance to the site that was approved by the ARB.
2. The sign illustrated on the landscape plan is different than what was previously approved
by the ARB, and the sign now appears to be located off -site, within the right -of -way. A
sign in the right -of -way requires VDOT approval. Although a sign in the right -of -way
does not require County approval, the applicant is encouraged to follow the County's sign
regulations (including the 24 sf size limit for Rural Areas) and the Entrance Corridor
guidelines for signs.
3. If lighting is proposed, complete lighting information should be included on the plan for
review. If no lighting is proposed, it would be useful for the applicant to indicate this in
writing.
4. It is anticipated that the proposed office will have some visibility from the Route 250
Entrance Corridor. The applicant should submit to -scale building elevations, noting
building materials and colors, and site sections from Route 250 to the building, so the
extent of ARB review required can be determined.
