SUB- 2009 -00147 Glenmore Equestrian Parcel -Final (Gerald Gatobu)
• This subdivision accesses S.R. 1054, Glenmore Way, which connects to an
intersection at Route 250. This intersection has met warrants for the installation of a
traffic signal and VDOT has approved plans for the signal to be constructed under a
Land Use Permit. The installation of the signal is a proffered item from the Glenmore
Development. Any additional traffic generated by this subdivision will increase the
need for a traffic signal at this intersection. It is recommended that the signal be
installed as son as possible.

SUB- 2009 -00152 Sieg Subdivision -Final (Megan Yaniglos)
• The Access Management Exception has not yet been finalized. A written request to
the Culpeper District Administrator must be made in accordance with the
requirements of 24 VAC 30 -72 -50 prior to plat approval.
This development meets the requirements for a Chapter 527 TIA.
A conceptual sketch of the entire proposed development needs to be submitted in
accordance with 24 VAC 30- 92 -70. Items that are missing from the proposal are:
o This proposal does not appear to include the layout for all streets for all phases
of construction and the associated traffic volumes.
• The location of all proposed land uses.
• The location of all proposed transportation facilities.
• The proposed functional classifications for all proposed streets.
• The connectivity index.
• Stub outs to any adjacent properties.
• Road and drainage plans are not a part of the review for the plat.
• The proposed urban collector functional classification appears to be adequate for Pine
Boulevard. The right of way on the typical section needs to include the road ditch.
The design speed should be 40 mph. Clear zones need to be shown on the typical
section. Vertical curves at signalized intersections should not assume a stop condition
and be designed appropriately.
• All proposed improvements to the intersection of Route 29 and Pines Boulevard need
to be made according to an intersection analysis. This will determine the storage lanes
needed for the improvements. There is an existing culvert under Route 29 that is
missing from the survey and may need modification.
• The intersection at Pines Boulevard and Pines Boulevard needs to be justified to be
adequate by capacity analysis. If the intersection needs to be modified, it may result in
changes to the plat.
• All roadway drainage ditches must be within the proposed right of way.
• Show sight lines at all intersections.
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.
