I'm working with ACSA to get their approval as well. Thanks Kirsten Munz, P.E., A.I.C.P.

[mailto: Joel .DeNunzio @VDOT.virginia.gov] Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 11:23 AM To: Kirsten Munz Cc: Amy Pflaum Subject: RE: SDP200900076 Old Trail Phase 9, Blocks 4, 11, 13, & 14 Kirsten, It looks like the increase in the radii at these entrances gives you the minimum 24 foot width at the ROW line which meets the VDOT entrance standards for all but two of the entrances. The two entrances that do not meet this requirement are due to the ROW line being set back farther because of the parking lanes. The increase in the radii appear to accommodate the single unit track and are appropriate for the development. I would like the final plans to show all the dimensions for proposed radii.

This is the last remaining item to get our preliminary site plan approved. Thanks. Kirsten From: Kirsten Munz Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 1:11 PM To: DeNunzio, Joel D., P.E.

Please check with VDOT to see if this is acceptable for these entrance permits. Autoturn diagrams may still be required.

Subject: FW: SDP200900076 Old Trail Phase 9, Blocks 4, 11, 13, & 14 Kirsten, All Engineering comments have been addressed on this Preliminary Site Plan except # 31: 31. These plans continue to label all "accessways" as Private Roads. If these are to be Private Roads, they must meet the appropriate standard as defined in the AC Design Manual. If they are to be alleys, they must meet the alley standard defined in the Old Trail Code of Development, upgrades may be required in areas where the alleys provide the only emergency access to lots. If they are to be travelways, they must meet the requirements of the zoning ordinance with an easement width that is at least one foot behind the back of curb. The designation of these accessways will then determine the design of their entrances onto the designated public roads. These entrances will need to meet the standards in VDOT's Appendices B(1) and F accordingly. It does not appear that the entrances onto public streets are meeting VDOT standards for commercial entrances. Please see the emails from VDOT below. If you would like to continue with the current proposal, please submit the Autoturn diagrams for review. -Amy From: DeNunzio, Joel D., P.E.

Everything else is considered a commercial entrance. All of these entrances should meet the commercial entrance standard. If they are proposing less than the standard, they should demonstrate that the design is adequate based on some Autoturn diagrams for the design vehicle. The design vehicle should be selected based on the type of vehicle that will use the entrance on a regular basis. Thanks, Joel Joel DeNunzio, P.E.

[mailto:Joel .DeNunzio @VDOT.virginia.gov] Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2010 9:12 AM To: Amy Pflaum Subject: RE: SDP200900076 Old Trail Phase 9, Blocks 4, 11, 13, & 14 Amy, The minimum width for a commercial entrance on a local road is 24 feet and the minimum radius is 25 feet. The minimum radius should be calculated as the effective radius which means if there is a parking lane on the street, you add that width to the actual radius to get the effective radius. So is they are showing a 20 foot radius and a 7 foot parking lane, the effective radius is 27 feet and that can be adequate for the design vehicle. VDOT now has a minimum recommended radius in the Access Management Standards for all design vehicles. Most likely, the residential commercial entrances need to accommodate a passenger car or in some cases a single unit truck. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Subject: SDP200900076 Old Trail Phase 9, Blocks 4, 11, 13, & 14 Joel, Are the proposed curb return radii of 15' and 20' width for all the entrances off of the public streets okay? I thought VDOT's minimum commercial entrance standard would use 25' radii and a 24' width. Would these entrances to residential developments (single & multi - family w/ office & retail) need to meet commercial standards? Thanks, Amy Amy D. Pflaum. P.E.
