SDP - 2010 -00035 West Village Preliminary Site Plan (Gerald Gatobu)
1. For the proposed road to be eligible for acceptance into the Secondary System of
Roads it must meet the connectivity requirements set in Secondary Street Acceptance
Requirements. The area type is rural so the road only needs to have multiple
connections in varying directions in accordance with 24VAC30 -92 -60 section 3. The
future extension must be constructed to the property line.
2. The proposed road needs to show the proposed functional classification and traffic
volume anticipated when the land served is fully developed. This includes anticipated
traffic from the adjacent property once developed.
3. Road widths need to be in accordance with the values for projected volumes 2001-
4000 in accordance with GS -SSAR.
4. The entrance on the north side of Block A lot 3 needs to show adequate sight distance.

5. Commercial entrances need to have a minimum width of 24 feet in accordance with
Appendix F of the VDOT Road Design Manual. They also need to have a throat
length according to the number of egress lanes.
6. The minimum effective radius on an entrance should be 25 feet in accordance with
Appendix F of the VDOT Road Design Manual.
7. Is there a speed table proposed at station 14 +00. Traffic calming should be
accomplished through the geometrics of the road and not with physical measures.
8. The swale should not be located between the parking lane and the sidewalk. The
sidewalk should be adjacent to the parking with a 3 foot buffer and the swale on other
side of the sidewalk.
9. Final plans will need to include drainage calculations and pavement design.
10. If parking lanes are used, they should be continuous and then necked down at the
intersections instead of having individual spaces along the road.
