Re: SDP2013 -00046 Gillenwater Property Tier II Personal Wireless Service Facility (AT &T
Wireless /648 Dry Bridge Road)
Dear Mr. Nelson:
We have reviewed the subject facility in the field and reviewed the plans identified as AT &T site
number CV404A as submitted by BC Architects Engineers and dated 8113113 and offer the
following comments:
1. On -site parking needs to be provided for the site. A pull off/parking are in the right -of-
way as shown on the site plan is not acceptable. Furthermore, the on -site parking area
needs to be oriented such that a vehicle will not have to back into the State roadway to
leave the site.
2. An entrance permit needs to be obtained from this office for the proposed entrance. Mr.
Dennis Seale in our office should be contacted at (434) 589 -1053 so that he can verify the
adequacy of the entrance location shown in the plans and work with the applicant in
obtaining this permit.
3. It is likely that some of the vegetation along Route 708 in the vicinity of the proposed
entrance will need to be removed so that adequate sight distance can be achieved.
If you need additional information concerning this project, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
