RE: Response Letter #3 for SDP2021-00022 Albemarle Business Campus: Block 5
Dear Adam,
Thank you for your review of the final site plan for Albemarle Business Campus: Block 5. This letter
contains responses to VDOT comments dated June 4, 2021.Our responses are as follows:
1. Appendix F of the Road Design Manual allows the downward adjustment of the number of right
turns only when the speed limit is below 45, the number of right turns is over 40, and the total
volume is less than 300. Because the total volume shown in the turn -lane warrant analysis dated
14 May 2021 is 310 (327 after adjustments for Block 1), the adjustment to the number of right
turns is not appropriate. Please remove the adjustment to the number of right turns and reanalyze
Figure 3-26.
RESPONSE: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have submitted a revised turn lane
warrant analysis through email correspondence on June 7, 2021 for review.
2. The department is still reviewing the Access Management Exception Request dated 7 May 2021,
RESPONSE: Comment received.
3. Future submissions for further development on this site, or the site caddy -corner across the
intersection of Routes 780 and 875, must fully address all comments made by Max Greene on
SDP2020-00066 dated 2 December 2020.
RESPONSE: Comment received.
