Amy,
I have reviewed the above road plan and have the following comments:
Page 1 of 1
1. In accordance with the 2005 Subdivision Street Requirements section 60 (24VAC 30- 91 -60) a conceptual
subdivision sketch must be submitted prior to construction plans showing sufficient information to approve the
functional classification of all streets within the subdivision. The first review will only be focused on the layout of
the subdivision and the functional classification of each street. Please advise the applicant that a plan with the
requirements shown in this section of the Virginia Administrative Code will be needed prior to the review of this
road plan.
2. The connector road on this plan will most likely be approved as an Urban Collector Road. According to
AASHTO Chapter 6, page 430, the road will need to have a design speed of 50 mph for rolling conditions or 40
mph for mountainous conditions based on the projected ADT of 10,100 vpd. It is also recommended that a low
speed urban design be used.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
Joel
