Subject: Site Review Meeting Comments November 6th, 2008 site review meeting
Dear Mr. Brooks:
Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the November 6th, 2008 Site Review
Committee Meeting:
SDP - 2008 -00146 Hollymead Town Center -Area C Block 9 -Maior (Gerald Gatobu)
1. Indicate whether Laurel Park Lane is proposed to be public or private. If it's
public, the entrances will need to be evaluated.
SDP - 2008 -00154 Re- Store'n Station — Preliminary (Summer Frederick)
1. The overall layout, transitions, and turn and taper lengths are adequate and in
accordance with VDOT standards. Dependant upon the results of the Traffic
Impact Study, there may be a need to extend the left turn storage lane to 200 feet.
This will only require an adjustment of the striping plan.
2. The outlet for the pipe that extends under the existing gravel needs to be
identified. If there is a pipe that runs along the edge of the existing road, it will
need to be located outside the proposed new pavement.
3. The 20 foot radial return should be evaluated for it's adequacy with a template of
the design vehicle. This radius may need to be closer to 40 feet.
4. The pavement structure needs to be determined by note 3 in the WP -2 standard.
The milling and overlay section in the typical sections needs to be in accordance
with note 4 on the WP -2 standard.
5. The proposed right turn lane in the typical curb section needs to be 12 feet to the
gutter pan, not the face of curb.
6. CG -7 should be used for design speeds greater than 45 mph. When the posted
speed is 45 mph, it is assumed that the design speed is 50 mph.

7. The CG -12 detail needs to be updated to the latest standard to show truncated
dome detectable warning devices.
8. A drainage and striping plan will need to be submitted with the final site plan.
Please request the applicants provide a written description of revisions with re- submissions. If
you have any questions or comments, please contact me prior to sharing these comments with
the applicants.
Sincerely,
