Section 4.12.13(e) requires that the dumpster pad be located in an area that does not impede vehicular circulation. The revised location is within the middle of the parking area and does not meet the requirement of this section. In addition, Section 4.12.15(e) requires that the location be accessible when all of the parking spaces are occupied. Again, the revised location does not meet this requirement. 4.12.13 e. Each site plan that depicts a conuilercial ar industrial Uruldung of four thousand (4,000) gross square feet or more shall proride a diunpster• pad that does not impede any regiur•ed parking or loading spaces; nor any pedestrian or vehicular circulation aisles. 4.12.15 e. _4cress ihlho-to lon ng spaces, loadr�rg docks aad dMnpsters_ Parking areas s1na11 bedesigned so that all loading spaces; load Mg docks. and duinpsters are accessible bv- delivery. and seri-ice vehicIes when all parking spaces are occupied. The request for the architectural changes are also not approved with this request, as those changes require an amendment to the Architectural Review Board Certificate of Appropriateness and cannot be approved with a Letter of Revision. If you would like to meet to discuss your options for relocating the dumpster in a location that will meet the requirements of the ordinance, or to ask any questions, please feel free to contact me.

These requests will enhance the visual appeal of the building and lower maintenance efforts over the longer term. I. Powder coated vs. Wood framed Brise Soleil: The current plan calls for a 2x8 pressure treated framed solar screen around three sides of the building. Wood inherently will twist and cup over time (sometimes as quickly as a few months). The spans (approximately 7') and framing design will allow the wood to bow, cup, and twist within a year's time. I have attached a picture below from Mezah in Stonefield. The 2x6x4' pressure treated material has bowed in a short amount of time. Additionally, the wood solar screen will need to be painted or stained often to maintain the desired color scheme. We propose to use a powder coated solar screen like the one in the pictured below at 2335 Seminole Lane next to Rhett's River Grill. We can choose a powder coat to match the desired color scheme and have a design that reflects the intended effect. The end product will stay straight longer with little to no need for adjustment and will require little to no painting and/or maintenance, making for a neater look on an entrance corridor. 2. Commercial glass to replace Nanawall: The current plan calls for folding doors at the northern side of the building, bordering the parking lot. Initially, it was felt that there should be open air access to the dining area via these folding doors, similar to what is provided on the creek side by the retractable garage doors. After further consideration, we have concerns about the amount of dust and grit created by driving and parking on the existing parking lot bordering these folding doors. We can provide a solid commercial glass alternative that would provide significantly better energy efficiency and weather protection, without losing any of the aesthetic appeal of the Nanawall. We can include a divided light mullion that mimics the proposed look and feel. 3. Painted composite vs. Metal -wrapped trim board at top of parapet: The current plan calls for light gauge metal to be wrapped around plywood and adhered to create a fascia board. In our experience, the metal will release from the plywood over time due to expansion and contraction of the different materials. This causes the metal to ripple in areas where it has released from the adhesive. We believe it would be less maintenance and more attractive to have a painted composite (Hardie or similar) to match. This would achieve the same affect without wobbles or ripples and would need to be painted as often as the rest of the building. 4. Relocate dumpster site/pad from current position to perimeter of parking area, away from sewage holding/pump tanks: the current location of the dumpster pad is situated directly behind the holding tanks for sewage effluent from the building. We have concerns that the weight of the garbage trucks emptying the dumpster could damage these holding tanks over time. We would propose moving the concrete pad/wooden enclosure to just outside the perimeter of the lot, towards the center of the property (as depicted on attached drawing). Please feel free to contact me directly via email or phone to discuss any of these matters.
