[Greenbuilding] Site planning (driveway)

[Khalil Hassan]

Bill most counties in VA have a site plan ordinance that must be adhered to,
check with local building and zoning office to ensure that your design
complies with local ordinances.  One of the issues I have with my driveway
is that it only gets partial sun so my natural snow removal is not that
effective.
Good luck with your project.
