RE: Response Letter 41 for SUB2021-00124 Proffit Road Townhomes South — Road Plan
Dear Adam,
Thank you for your review of the road plan for Proffit Road Townhomes South. This letter contains
responses to VDOT comments dated August 9, 2021.Our responses are as follows:
1. Entrance roads appear askew from North and South entrances and proposed entrance should line
up better with existing entrance to the North.
RESPONSE: Comment received. Auto -turn analyses have been provided for opposing left turns
leaving the Profit Road Townhomes North and South, ensuring that no conflicts would occur
with the slightly askew entrances.
2. CG-6 and CG-7 should have a minimum 10' transition taper to grade on the terminal ends for
snow removal and highway maintenance.
RESPONSE: Comment received. A note requiring this 10' transition taper has been added to the
site/road plan.
3. Curb and gutter should extend to property lines for future connections.
RESPONSE: Comment received. Please see the revised plan.
4. Shared use path should extend to property lines for future connections.
RESPONSE: Comment received. Please see the revised plan.
5. Turn lane warrants are required and if previously approved will be added to the plan submittal.
RESPONSE: Turn lane warrants are now provided on C17.
6. Sanitary sewer line should be shown on private road A.
RESPONSE: Comment received. Please see the revised utility plan.
If you have any questions or concerns about these revisions, please feel free to contact me at
