Subject: Site Review Meeting Comments July 2nd, 2009 site review meeting
Dear Mr. Brooks:
Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the July 2nd, 2009 Site Review Committee
Meeting:
SDP - 2009 -00047 Wilcohess —Final (Summer Frederick)
1. A fueling position is defined in the ITE Trip Generation Manual as the number of
vehicles that can be fueled simultaneously. The existing situation for trip generation
shows 14 fueling positions but it appears that only 8 or 10 vehicles can fuel
simultaneously. This will decrease the existing trip generation to 1628 VPD assuming
there are 10 fueling positions. The new proposal shows ITE trip generation at 4340
VPD. This is an increase of 2712 VPD which is above the amount of traffic necessary
for a Chapter 527 Traffic Impact Study.
2. This site currently is served by two entrances that neither meets the existing entrance
standards or the Access Management Regulation spacing standards for commercial
entrances.
3. This commercial entrance permit needs to be reevaluated in accordance with The
Land Use Permit Manual, 24VAC30- 150 -1680. The increase in traffic volume will
require this entrance to be brought to standard to retain the commercial entrance
permit. A new entrance will need to be shown and should be located as indicated in
the Places 29 plan. The entrance also needs to accommodate access for the adjacent
properties in accordance with the requirements of 24VAC30 -72 -120, Commercial
Entrance Access Management.

4. Recommend that the minimum standards for entrances and access management being
adequately addressed as a condition of the site plan approval.
SDP - 2009 -00048 Stonewater Townhomes Site Plan -Final (Elizabeth Marotta)
1. The access is on a proposed private road of the subdivision and does not require
permitting from VDOT.

1. The existing 30 foot easement to Lot 1 should be evaluated for it's adequacy to serve
the proposed use in order to avoid the need for access to Route 250. Access to route
250 for Lot 1 may be in conflict with the Access Management Regulations.
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
