As such this may require access easements to be provided to those owners across Lochlyn Hills property OR boundary line adjustments to transfer the excess land to those owners. Depending on the solution to the above this may also require offsite construction easements to construct the modified driveways on the above properties. Per the applicant, they are working with VDOT and individual lot owners on this issue and the final plat will reflect additional r/w or transfer of the property to the lot owners. Prior to Final Plat approval this issue will be resolved and approved by VDOT and the County. ❑ [14 -317] Instrument evidencing maintenance of certain improvements.

Search 22, 2013, a 1978 Resolution for the Rio Heights subdivision shows a 50 ft r1w on Pen Part, Lane up to fl.(18 n il.es (447 ft) south easterly of the intersection with Rio Road. The plat indicates the rAv is 48' Var. ROW. The documentation needs to be.provided showing the correct right of way width. 1 The existing right of way on the south side of Pen Parts Lane does not appear to lineup with the proposed right of way for Pen. Park Lane, This needs to be corrected. 1 The right of way on the north side of Pen Park. Lane needs to be defined and shown where Pen Parkis being realigned. 4. The CG -1.2 shown at the end of the side walk along Pen Park needs to be located. near the midpoint of the radius of the intersection of Pen Park and Woodmont .Drive. 5. It was our understanding the side walk would be extended on the south side of Park Lane all the way to Rio Road. This has not been reflected in this plan. 6. Is on- street parking proposed on both sides of Pon Park Lane? The minimum width face of curb to face of curb for VDOT standards is 29' for on- street parking on bath sides at this location. 7. The sight distance lines should be shown from a point that is located 9.4.5' off:the edge of the travel way. The sight line shown at the intersection of Pen Park Lane and Lochlyn Hill Drive appears to be right on the edge of the travel way. Please contact Troy Austin of VDOT if you have questions or require additional information. Sincerely, Christopher P.
