20a. VDOT Monthly Report.
Allan Sumpter updated Board members on issues
in their districts:
• VDoT has been working on a process for
removing illegal signs in the right of way
areas. VDoT is working with County staff, and
will get a letter to CAAR and the Chamber of
Commerce explaining the rules. VDoT will
also try to patrol these areas as much as
possible with their current staff.
• In median areas and on sidewalks, there is an
effort to remove tall weeds with weed eaters
and spraying. He has tasked his staff to come
up with a better plan for spraying next year so
that the weeds do not get so tall. Mr. Boyd
suggested VDoT look at Berkmar Drive and
5
Route 20 at Pantops as areas that have six
foot weeds coming out of the drains.
David Slutzky:
• Signal upgrade work is beginning on Route
29. VDoT staff is working on the system, and
expect to finish in the next two to three
months.
Dennis Rooker:
• Pedestrian safety improvements are
beginning along Hydraulic Road, and bike
lanes are being marked as well.
Sally Thomas:
• Buckingham Branch will move forward with
repairs to Dry Bridge. They are going to fully
replace the bridge decking, and anticipate
completing the project within the next four
weeks. She asked for VDoT to put up a large
sign to alert motorists as they have done in
the past.
20b. Transportation Matters not Listed on Agenda.
Sally Thomas:
• Asked about the possibility of installing a
bicycle sign to alert drivers that bikes are on
the roadway, in areas where there is no
separate bike lane. VDoT staff will look into it.
Dennis Rooker:
• Asked about the use of islands in pedestrian
crossing paths that are painted with a bright
green paint, with mid-road signage, similar to
those used in the Outer Banks. Mr. Sumpter
will have VDoT look into that possibility.
David Slutzky:
• The grass on Rio Road between Wolfe’s and
the entrance to Circuit City is about six feet
high. Mr. Sumpter advised that the mowing
contractor missed that road, and is going to
mow that area next week.
Ann Mallek:
• Asked who is responsible for removing leaves
that pile up in ditches against pipes under
driveways. VDoT advised that in the Fall at
certain places where they can cause a
drainage problem, VDoT staff rents a vacuum
truck to come in and address the back up.
Ms. Mallek pointed out that Advance Mills
Road down to Jacob’s Run is a problem area,
and should be added to the list of areas for
removal.
Lindsay Dorrier:
• In the report, Route 626 should be listed as
Route 726. VDoT will look at the curve in that
area to see if there are any safety improve-
ments that can be made.
• The entrance at Walton School, traveling
North (intersection of Route 20 and Route
798) is dangerous. VDoT will look into that
area.
Clerk: Forward comments to Allan Sumpter.
6
David Benish:
• He and Juan Wade are also working on
pedestrian crossings. County staff is looking
at improvements that are beyond the scope of
what VDoT can do, such as mid block
crossings and street lights to illuminate
crosswalks at night.
21. From the Board: Committee Reports and Matters
Ann Mallek:
• Asked if another meeting has been scheduled
with the PRFA, and was informed that nothing
has been scheduled at this time.

modifications, terms, or conditions required to be included in the plan in order for it to be approved. The

owner shall explain in writing the reasons for requesting the variance; and (ii) the variance may be
approved if the program authority determines that the approved plan, with the variance and any
associated conditions of approval, would protect off-site properties and resources from damage to the
same extent or better than if the variance was not granted.
C. Except as provided in paragraph (E), the program authority shall approve or disapprove a

correction of such condition;
2. to clear and grub stumps and other activity directly related to the selective cutting
of trees, as permitted by law;

disturbing activity;

of earth, equipment and materials, and to construct temporary access roads; provided, that in each case,
the area disturbed shall be returned to substantially its previous condition, with no significant change in
surface contours. The return to previous condition shall occur within thirty (30) days of the completion of
the activity or temporary use, or within thirteen (13) months of the commencement of any land disturbing
activity on the land which is related to the activity, whichever period shall be shorter; or

an owner to submit an amended plan in the following circumstances:
1. An inspection conducted pursuant to section 17-212 reveals that the plan is inadequate
to satisfy the requirements of this article;
2. The owner finds that, because of changed circumstances or for other reasons, the
approved plan cannot be effectively carried out and either proposed amendments to the plan, consistent
with the requirements of this article, are agreed to by the program authority and the owner or the owner
submits and obtains approval of a variance and the program authority determines that an amendment to
the plan is required. The program authority may consider and act on a variance request under the
following criteria: (i) the owner shall explain in writing the reasons for requesting the variance; and (ii) the
variance may be approved if the program authority determines that the amended plan, with the variance
and any associated conditions of approval, would protect off-site properties and resources from damage
to the same extent or better than if the variance was not granted. The program authority shall approve or
disapprove the variance in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of the request. If the program
authority does not approve a variance within ten (10) days of the receipt of the request, it shall be
deemed to be disapproved.
3. The land disturbing activity did not begin during the one hundred eighty (180) day period
20
following plan approval, or ceased for more than one hundred eighty (180) days, and the existing plan
has been evaluated to determine whether it still satisfies the requirements of this article and state erosion
and sediment control criteria and to verify that all design factors are still valid, and it has been determined
that the plan is inadequate. In such a case, the land disturbing activity shall not be resumed until a
modified plan is submitted and approved as provided in this article.

and sediment control plan for the purposes of conducting an inspection as provided in this section or an

E. The fees required for inspections conducted pursuant to paragraph (B)(i), (ii) and (iv) are
a part of the application fee required by section 17-209. The fee required for inspections conducted
pursuant to paragraph (B)(iii) shall be paid by the owner within thirty (30) days of the date shown on the
