Subject: Site Review Meeting Comments October 8th, 2009 site review meeting
Dear Mr. Brooks:
Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the October 8th, 2009 Site Review
Committee Meeting:
SDP - 2008 -00119 Treesdale Park - Preliminary (Summer Frederick)
1. The bus turn out may cause weave issues and sight distance problems on Rio
Road. These issues were discussed during the rezoning of this project and it was
decided that this turn out would be removed from the plan and shown as an
easement for a possible future turnout to be considered if appropriate after
Meadowcreek Parkway is constructed.
2. The minimum lateral setback for clear zone is 8 feet beyond the face of curb or 1
foot behind the sidewalk, whichever is greater in accordance with VDOT's Road
Design Manual Section A -2. This is the location where the right of way needs to
be shown.
3. Sight lines need to be within sight easements.
4. The width of the entrance may not accommodate the design vehicle with the
proposed radius on the curve. A single unit truck should be able to make this
turn.
5. The improvements shown to Rio Road do not appear to match the plan that was
submitted for the Stonewater subdivision and have improper transitions shown.

2. The proposed site entrance needs to show sight lines in accordance with The
Minimum Standards of Entrances to State Highways.
3. The entrance needs to show an entrance profile.
4. Show the drainage area to the culvert and the design data to show headwater
elevation to pass the 10 year storm with adequate headwater in accordance with
chapter 8 of VDOT's Drainage Manual.
5. Indicate proposed materials for the entrance.
6. The geometry of the entrance needs to be in accordance with The Minimum
Standards of Entrances to State Highways and the dimensions need to be shown
on the plan.

SDP - 2009 -00065 Old Trail Village Phase 9 Prelim. (Megan Yaniglos)
1. Claremont Lane has a 20 mph design speed and the corresponding site distance
is 225'. The connections to Claremont do not have adequate site distances
shown. Sight distance triangles need to be contained within easements. The
sight lines shown appear to cross structures or be very close to structures.
2. In accordance with VDOT's Road Design Manual, Appendix B, page B -15,
intersections entering from the same side of the major street should have a
spacing of 500 feet but with lower traffic volumes can be spaced at 250 feet.
3. Show sight lines and distances for the roundabout to ensure that the proposed
building does not block the sight distances.
4. The final plans need to show entrance profiles for all proposed entrances to the
streets.
SDP - 2009 -00078 CTS Operation Center -Maior (Summer Frederick)
1. This plan amendment does not appear to change the improvements to Avon Street or
the proposed site entrances.
SUB- 2009 -00129 Next Generation LLC — Final (Summer Frederick)
2. Will the new lot be developed and have an additional entrance on Boulders Road?
