Subject: Site Review Meeting Comments April 3rd, 2008 site review meeting
Dear Mr. Brooks:
Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the April 3rd, 2007 Site Review Committee
Meeting:
SDP - 2008 -00038 Flow Automotive -Final (Megan Yaniglos)
• Adjacent property TMP -78 -15 has a site plan to continue the right turn lane. Effort
should be made to coordinate the construction of these sites to minimize traffic
interruption and construction costs.
• The radius of 13 feet at the east end of the property should be 25 feet and CG -6 should be
used.
• The flow line at the eastern entrance should be adjusted to allow for future extension of
the right turn lane. Sight distance towards the east needs to be shown at this entrance.
• The drainage areas need to be checked on the road sections. It appears that the centerline
of the road is the divide and this section of road is in a full super section. Structure EX5
needs to be relocated instead of removed and because the spread on EX -4 is greater than
the allowable spread.

SDP - 2008 -00041 North Pointe - Northwest Residential -prel. (Gerald Gatobu)
• Proffered items under phase III road construction are supposed to be complete prior to
this site plan approval.
• Proffer V- 5.3.1 -ci is missing from the proffers at the beginning of the plan.
• The ingress to the site off route 29 should either be a yield condition or accommodate a
proper merge according to AASHTO standard merge lengths.
• The egress onto route 29 needs to have a lane configuration and lengths to accommodate
the queue from the traffic study queue analysis.
• The lane shifts on route 29 need to be a minimum of 720 feet in length. The lane shift on
Northwest Passage needs to be in accordance with the design speed of the road.
• The CG -6 on the north side of the entrance needs to have a minimum 12 foot offset and
an appropriate taper to tie back into the pavement on route 29.
• Road and drainage plans will be needed with the final site plan.
• A Land Use Permit will be needed for any work within the VDOT ROW.
SDP - 2008 -00042 Buck Mountain Episcopal Church / Verizon (Megan Yaniglos)
• Sight distance needs to be shown for the connection to Earlysville Road.
