RE: Faulconer Construction Office and Shop Final Site Plan (Tax Map 58, Parcel 37)
Dear Mr. Sprinkle,
As you are aware the Board of Supervisors denied the site plan for the above referenced project at its meeting on October 27,
2004. In its denial of the site plan the Board had to identify those issues which needed to be addressed for the project to be
approved. One item is "Pavement widths and strengths of both internal and external roads shall be adequate to accommodate
projected traffic generated from the site as provided by section 26.12.1 of the Albemarle County Code." It has come to the
attention of the County that this language has caused some concern and confusion. The purpose of this letter is to clarify the
intent of the Board's action as it relates to VDOT.
The County is relying on VDOT to make a determination based on VDOT standards whether Morgantown Road is adequate
to accommodate the projected traffic generated by the proposed use. Although the County is not requesting that VDOT
initiate any study or analysis of the road to make this determination, it would be helpful if VDOT would identify what
standards would be used to make such a determination. If the applicant chooses to move forward with the project it will be
their responsibility to work with your office and provide VDOT with whatever information you may need to make the
determination of adequacy. County staff remains available to work with VDOT on this project. Please feel free to contact
me if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
William D. Fritz, AICP
Chief of Current Development.
