RE: Response Letter #1 for SDP2021-22 Albemarle Business Campus Block 5 — Final Site Plan
Dear Adam,
Thank you for your review of the final site plan for Albemarle Business Campus. This letter contains
responses to VDOT comments dated May 3, 2021. Our responses are as follows:
1. Responses to comments prepared by Max Greene on 2 December 2020 were included with this
submission. A full set of plans (not just Block 5) will be necessary to evaluate these responses.
This letter applies only to the layout of Block 5 shown in the submitted plans and does not
address those responses.
RESPONSE: Comment noted, we will continue to work with VDOT on future site plans for the
full business campus buildout — we expect future comments where applicable.
2. The entrance radii do not conform to Table 4-3 of Appendix F of the Road Design Manual for
Commercial/Retail without Separate Truck Access.
Entrance radii have been revised to comply with Appendix F Table 4-3 to allow truck access.
Refer to sheet C12 for auto -turn diagrams showing WB-50 truck turns into and out of the site.
3. The entrance width does not conform to Figure 4-9 of Appendix F of the Road Design Manual.
The entrance is now sufficiently wide to allow full ingress and egress movements for WB-50
trucks and exceeds 30' at the VDOT ROW. Refer to sheet C12 for auto -turn diagrams showing
WB-50 truck turns into and out of the site.
If you have any questions or concerns about these revisions, please feel free to contact me at
Keane@shimp-en ing eering com or by phone at 434-227-5140.
Regards,
Keane Rucker
