| 05/26/2015 | SIGN EXCAVATION | Approved | THE CONTRACTOR CONTACTED ME THIS MORNING TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUES WAS WITH THE SIGN FOUNDATION.I STOPPED BY AND SHOWED THEM WHERE THE PAPERWORK WAS NOT SUBMITTED CORRECTLY NOTING THE TRUE SITE CONDITIONS. I ADVISED THEM THAT THE FOOTER WAS OKAY AS FAR AS I COULD TELL FOR THE LOCATION AND THE DEPTH, BUT THE SIGN HEIGHT NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND APPROVED PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE SIGN ITSELF. I WENT AND PICKED UP THE LASER LEVEL AND ITS EQUIPMENT AND WENT BACK OUT TO THE SITE AND MADE ALL THE NEEDED MEASUREMENTS. THE CURRENT HEIGHT DIFFERANCE FROM THE LOWEST SPOT WITHIN 20 FEET IS 4.20 FEET, SO WITH THE CURRENT APPLICATION AND A TOP OF SIGN HEIGHT OF 7 FEET, THE SIGN CAN ONLY BE 2.8 FEET TALL. IF THE APPLICATION CAN HAVE A SIGN HEIGHT OF 10 FEET IT WILL HAVE A HEIGHT OF 5.8 FEET(5 FEET 10 INCHES). THE CONTRACTOR HAS CHOSEN TO POUR THE FOUNDATION AT THIS LOCATION AND ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF THE SIGN WITH A RESUBMITAL OF A NEW APPLICATION. |

| 05/22/2015 | SIGN EXCAVATION | Denied | SITE LOCATION APPEARS TO BE OK AT THIS TIME BUT THE HEIGHT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE CORRECT PER THE APPLICATION. THE SIGN IS LOCATED 60 AWAY FROM THE ROADWAY WHICH REQUIRES THAT THE SIGN ELEVATION IS TO BE TAKEN 7 FEET ABOVE THE LOWEST POINT WITHIN 20 FEET OF THE SIGN. DUE TO THE ELEVATION CHANGES IN THE ADJACENT SURROUNDING AREA THE HEIGHT OF THE NEW SIGN WILL BE 3 FEET TALL NOT 7. THE LOWEST POINT WITHIN 20 FEET APPEARS TO BE APPROXIMATELY 4 FEET BELOW THE BASE GRADE FOR THE SIGN. THIS WILL NEED TO BE VERIFIED NEXT WEEK WITH THE LASER LEVEL PRIOR TO APPROVING THE EXCAVATION AND LAYOUT. |
