CC: Appropriate Assistant State Location and Design Engineer Project Manager State Geometric Design Engineer State Structure and Bridge Engineer Assistant State Traffic Engineer — Traffic Control Devices Additional information for 4260 Ivy Road Design Waiver Request This proposed Design Waiver Request is for relief of a left turn lane requirement for the existing entrance into the site. Site Conditions: This project is an expansion of the existing service station building on a property owned by SR&DR LLC. The current use of the building is a service station and gas station. Along with the expansion of the service station, the site is also being updated to include more formal paved parking areas on site. The expansion of the service station does not affect the peak hour traffic to this site. This existing gas/service station is located on Ivy Road in a small corridor where other businesses are located. It is a unique section along Ivy Road in that the posted speed limit drops from 45 mph to 35 mph in this corridor. Traveling in the eastward direction the speed limit increases to 45 mph about 300' after the site. As shown on the attached exhibits, a left turn lane is warranted for this site as it is in the existing condition. The attached exhibits show how long a left turn lane would need to be and how the road would need to change to accommodate the turn lane and its components. Justification Against a Left Turn Lane: In the attached exhibit it can be shown in several ways why the left turn lane would not be feasible for this area. The storage length alone, at 150', requires the road pavement width to be 44'. There is only 38' of width available because of the bridge over Little Ivy Creek. This storage area also blocks access for the proposed one way exit out of the site and the existing full access entrance for the commercial property across the street. The turn lane taper blocks full access entrances for the existing commercial business across the street and on the adjacent parcel. The approach taper blocks the Ivy Depot Road intersection as well as runs into the portion of Ivy Road that goes underneath a railroad bridge. The road going under the railroad bridge cannot be widened. The 75' minimum width of the 3 lanes required after the intersection as well as the departure taper run along the portion of Ivy Road that crosses Little Ivy Creek. This bridge was redesigned recently by VDCT. The width between guardrails is 35'. The width required to install this left turn lane and taper back down to two lanes is 44'. There is simply not enough pavement width to accomplish installing the left turn lane. It should also be noted that this corridor along Ivy Road has a lower posted speed limit than the rest of Ivy Road to allow for slower traffic that is entering and exiting the few businesses along this stretch of road. As shown in the aerial exhibits dating back to 2002 and up to 2018, the existing gas/service station has never had a left turn lane and as the expansion does not increase the estimated daily trips to and from the gas/service station, then a turn lane still does not make sense. To widen the road and impact the business frontages along Ivy Road in order to install the turn lane as well as widen the bridge over Little Ivy Creek the cost would be well over $2.5 million, which is not feasible for the owner of the existing business. 0SSXN�1 O�NRO PXVRD LPNNNRRE RpP 8 I 8 ASH ASH I 15 ASH / PARADISE 10 ASH ASH 12 A I/ �8 ASH 10 ASH 10 ASH / 12 ASH "� 15 EXISTIN / I 10 ASH PARADISE CRITICAL SL PIES ■ = W 245'APPROACHT LL TMP 58A2-24C - Iz BLOCKS IVy p APER 20 T 12 RIVANNA WATER & SEWER EPpTROADINTERSECT1pN PARADISE AUTHORITY I . m —'-' ZONED: Cl � l/1 j ASH I P m6 PARADISE / PARADISE /10 8 ■ PARAD� PARADISE(2X) I EXISTING COMMERCIAL ■ Ul VDOT STD.
