Ammy,
Confirming what we discussed on the phone, moving the entrance location is appropriate given the
sigh distance problems. I do not consider a grass emergency vehicle access point to be a permitted
entrance so as far as VDOT is concerned there are no sight distance requirements for that point. As
we discussed future construction of a roundabout at Leake may restrict access to your proposed
entrance to a right in/right out.

Good afternoon Adam and Justin,
We have become aware of a pending rezoning plan across the street from our project at 3223 Proffit
Road. It is named Proffit Road Townhouses. As part of this discovery, we have been looking more closely
into the required sight distances from the primary (Road A) and the emergency entrance (Road C) . And
we have found a problem with the vertical portion of the sight distance on the primary entrance.
On the attached PDF, I have added the sight distance profiles for both the primary and emergency access
entrances. On the primary entrance, the sight distance line (right) intersects with the grade along the
centerline of Proffit Road. Therefore, we do not have an adequate sight distance. As shown in the profile,
the primary entrance is located beyond the high point in the roadway adjacent to a natural sag.
In our previous discussions, we were urged to locate the primary entrance as far to the east as possible,
hence the location of our primary entrance, but looking at the vertical information, this does not seem
like the best option. The entrance "wants" to be closer to the natural high point in the road, so we are
proposing several solutions:
1. Switch the primary and emergency entrances;
o The primary entrance is now off of Road C, and the emergency access is now off of Road
A,
o The vertical sight distance for this set up (see the emergency entrance profile) provides
full visibility of on -coming traffic in both directions,
o The Proffit Road/Road C intersection is approximately 408' feet from the Proffit
Road/Leake Square intersection.
2. Keep both entrances open until the improvements at Proffit Road/Leake Square intersection come
on line,
o The later improvements to the Proffit Road/Leake Square intersection may help solve
the vertical sight distance issues at the intersection of Proffit Raod/Road A. This
intersection could then become the main intersection at that time and the Proffit
Road/Road C intersection could then be closed and maintained as the emergency access
road.
3. Keep both entrances open, but the entrance at the intersection of Proffit Raod/Road A is right
in/right out, therefore avoiding the issue of the vertical sight distance to the right.
I hate to rush a discussion on this, but we need to have the plans back to County by February 14 to make
it onto the March 20th Board of Supervisors agenda. As such I would like to have a solution, whether it be
one listed above or another solution by this Thursday.
Thanks in advance for your help.
