SDP - 2008 -124 Whitehouse Commercial - Final site Plan
Megan,
I have reviewed the above plan and have the following comments:
Trip generation number need to be added to the plan.
Page 1 of 1
2. Sight distances need to be shown at the entrance along Olympia Drive. Any sight lines that fall outside of
the proposed Public Right of Way must be within a sight easement. The proper method of showing sight lines on
the plan is described in the VDOT Road Design Manual Appendix B, page B -12.
3. According to the lateral setback requirements stated in VDOT's Road Design Manual, appendix A, page A-
16, the minimum setback for the clear zone for roads of 45 mph and less is to be 8 feet or the back of the
sidewalk, whichever is greater. The proposed street trees are within this clear zone and need to be removed. A
clear zone easement should be provided for the minimum setback according to these requirements. Street trees
are only permitted with the 3 foot offset when the design speed of the road is 20 mph or less. I would recommend
placing the trees behind the sidewalk and providing the clear zone easement.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Joel
