RE: Crozet ES Addition, Renovation & Site Improvements — Major Site Plan Review —
SDP2020-00058 — Review 1 - Comment Response Letter
Dear Mr. Moore:
We have reviewed your comments from September 15, 2020 and made the necessary
revisions. Please find our responses to the comments below in bold lettering.
Land Use:
1. The minimum radius for a school bus is 45ft., please refer to VDOT's Road Design
Manual Appendix B(1)-pg., 18, for school bus access road.
The school bus entrance radii have been revised to be 45ft. See Sheet C4.0.
2. The required shoulder slope for a school bus access road in a rural area needs to be 4:1.
The shoulders provided within the right-of-way are 4:1. See Sheet C5.0.
3. What's the purpose for the emergency access entrance? We recommend using the
parking lot to minimize entrances onto route 810.
The slopes from the parking lot to the rear of the building addition are not amenable to
emergency access; therefore, the separate entrance is proposed. This entrance will be
equipped with removable bollards so that it is only used in emergency situations.
4. Please show mill and overlay on plans in accordance with WP-2 and add the detail to the
plans.
VDOT WP-2 detail has been added to Sheet C1.2. Additional mill and overlay has been shown
on Sheet C4.0 to match detail.
S. The mill and overlay will require work to centerline, so flagging operation will be
necessary.
Acknowledged. An MOT detail has been provided on Sheet C1.2.

6. Please note that the proposed entrance must show conformance with the VDOT Road
Design Manual Appendices B (1) and (F), as well as any other applicable standards,
Regulations or other requirements.
The proposed fire access entrance is for emergency use only. The bus entrance is a low volume
commercial entrance which is exempt from access management per table 4-1 of Appendix F.
The radii of the entrance have been increase to 45ft per comment number one and Sight
distance is demonstrated on sheet C8.0.
We have included PDF copies of the plans and calculations for your review. If you have any
questions or comments, please feel free to give me a call at 434.327.5380 or email me at
