3. SP-90-50 Donnie R. or Catherine Dunn, Route 601 - This request should not result
in any flooding to Route 601 due to the construction of the stream crossing.
4. SP-90-53 John E. & Karin L. Slough, Route 20 N. - This request should not result
in any flooding to Route 20 N. due to the construction of the stream crossing. The
entrance for the property is under permit. The Department recommends that before
approval of this request is granted, the clearing and grading to be done along Route
20 for the sight distance is completed since the entrance has limited sight distance
in both directions.
5. SP-90-55 James H. & Sue H. Willis, Route 250 W. - This request will result in an
increase in traffic. Based on 30 children, there could be approximately 150
additional VPD generated. The existing private entrance to this property on Route
637 is within 50 feet of the edge of pavement of Route 250. The Department
recommends that access for this private entrance be limited only to the existing
residence and that none of the day care traffic be allowed to use this entrance.
Otherwise, the Department recommends that all access be to the commercial entrance
on Route 250 east of the intersection with Route 637. The existing private
entrance, if it remains open to serve the house, needs to have some tree trimming
done to the west to obtain sight distance. The Department recommends a 100 foot
long taper lane on Route 250 for the new commercial entrance.
6. ZMA-90-08 7oodbriar Associates, Route 29 N. - Austin Drive and Briarwood Drive
were sized to accommodate certain traffic volumes based on the road layout approved
for this subdivision. Deletion of the part of Briarwood Drive not constructed that
connects with Route 29 to the south, could affect the traffic volumes on the
sections of Austin Drive and Briarwood Drive already in the State system.

Therefore, a revised traffic analysis for this subdivision will need to be done so
that it can be determined with the deletion of this section of Briarwood Drive
whether there would need to be any changes to the other roads within the
subdivision. This request is for the deletion for the bonding requirement for the
rest of Briarwood Drive, which possibly could mean the deletion of the road. Should
the bonding be deleted and the previous road plans become void, then whenever
Briarwood Drive was resubmitted for approval, it would have to meet the current
design standards which are different from those under which the road has already
been approved. The Department is against this request should the deletion of the
bond result in the deletion of the remaining part of Briarwood Drive.
Yours truly,
