as this was a Traffic Study for a SDP I simply reviewed the study for any recommendations. The study concluded the
redevelopment will have minimal to no impact on adjacent US29 and Hilton Heights Intersection and continue to operate in the
same LOS with minimal increase/delay. No improvements are recommended/required for the intersection to accommodate
vehicular traffic generated from the redevelopment.
Therefore, I have no additional comments.

Mr. Langille:
As requested, I've reviewed the subject plan, dated 1/19/21. It appears there are no
existing onsite septic systems or wells associated with this parcel, and all new
construction will be connected to public sewer & water systems. Therefore, I have no
concerns or objections to the preliminary plat.
If there are any questions or concerns, please give me a call, 434-972-4306.
