All other ARB comments, to date, addressed with this plan. Building Inspections 1. A gate is provided on the parking area as the parking lot is not intended for public use.

Backflow preventer note added to Sheet 3. 5. The proposed flowering dogwoods have been moved as far from the water meter as we feel is possible to satisfy ARB requirements and ACSA requirements. They are still within 10 of the meter so we are requesting compromise on this issue. VDOT 1. The note on Sheet 3 regarding the proposed taper has been corrected to 4:1 as drawn. 2. The GR-9 end treatment line work has been revised. 3. All proposed trees are located more than 5' from the guardrail. 4. I am not familiar with the guardrail warrants process so this item is not currently addressed. The objective of this process is little confusing as well. There is currently a guardrail along the entirety of the VDOT ROW, excluding the entrance, and this will continue to be the case. Will be happy to work through this issue though. 5. No action required. 6. The gate was moved back into the site so that there will be approximately 80 between the edge of road and the gate. We hope that you find this information useful in your consideration for approval. Please feel free to call with any questions or request for additional information. Sincerely, Alan G.
