Please see below from VDOT regarding the road entrance. I'm reading the low volume commercial standard now in the
link he sent.

Hi Brandon,
I don't have concerns with the proximity to 1-64. However, I do need some info on the entrance. It
appears that you're planning to use an existing driveway. The cell tower will require that entrance to
meet low volume commercial standards. Please see Appendix F of the VDOT Road Design Manual.

Good morning Mr. Moore — Shentel is proposing to construct a monopole tower located at Patterson Mill Lane,
Crozet, on Albemarle County tax parcel 71-37J and owned by Patricia W. Patterson. The proposed tower
location is on the south side of I-64, east of the Rt 250/I-64 interchange and nearly .25 miles from the VDOT
Yancey Mills Area Headquarters. The proposed tower height is 97.9' and is 10' above the tallest tree within 25'
of the tower. Shentel is currently preparing a Tree Survey.
Pursuant to section 5.1.40(c)(3) of the Albemarle County zoning ordinance (copied below), the proposed new
pole will not meet the 1:1 setback to the property line along I-64 (see sheet R-1 of the attached drawings). This
proposed tower location is adjacent to the existing Verizon tower and Verizon's tower does not currently meet
the 1:1 setback to I-64.
3. Setbacks. Notwithstanding section 4.10.3.1(b), the agent may authorize a facility to be
located closer in distance than the height of the tower or other mounting structure to any
lot line if the applicant obtains an easement or other recordable document showing
agreement between the lot owners, acceptable to the county attorney as to addressing
development on the part of the abutting parcel sharing the common lot line that is within
the monopole or tower's fall zone. If the right-of-way for a public street is within the
fall zone, the Department of Transportation shall be included in the staff
review, in lieu of recording an easement or other document.
I would appreciate it you could review the attached proposal by Shentel and comment if VDOT has any
comments and/or concerns with the proposed tower location in regards to the right-of-way. Shentel will be
submitting an application to construct this tower to Albemarle County upon receipt of your comments.
Thank you.
