Subject: West Village Chapter 527 TIA
Dear Mr. Brooks,
In accordance with § 15.2- 2222.1 of the Code of Virginia and the Virginia Traffic Impact Analysis
Regulations, 24 VAC 30 -155, a traffic impact analysis was prepared by Renaissance Planning on the site
plan for the proposed development project entitled West Village by WaterStreet Studio.
We have evaluated this traffic impact analysis and prepared a report that summarizes the key findings and
conclusions of the analysis. Our report is attached to assist the county in their decision making process
regarding the proposed development.
I am available at your convenience to meet and discuss VDOT's finding if you need assistance. And
finally, I ask that you include VDOT's key findings of the traffic analysis in the official public records on
the proposed project and have this letter, our report, and the traffic impact analysis placed in the case file
for this site plan. VDOT will make these documents available to the general public through various
methods including posting them on VDOT's website.
Sincerely,
Joel DeNunzio
Land Use Engineer

Key Findings for Traffic Impact Analysis entitled West Village, Crozet VA
Albemarle County, VA
Project ID: SDP - 2010 -00035
Prepared by Renaissance Planning Group for WaterStreet Studio
Below are VDOT's key findings for the TIA on the above project:
Errors and Omissions
• The study did not provide left turn. warrants for the Jarmans Gap Road and Blue Ridge
Avenue intersection for the 2020 build scenario. It does not appear that the warrants will
be met but they should be included in the report.
• Figure 5 should indicate.which percentage is either Am or PM.
Summary of Data
• With the minor changes in the Errors and Omissions section of this report, the study
results are acceptable and meet the regulatory requirements.
Study Recommendation
• The interconnection discussed at the end of the report does not include an analysis that
addresses any improvements that may be needed with future development to the
intersection at Blue Ridge Ave and Jarmans Gap Road. The county may want the study
to include the future growth analysis.
Other Items
• The site plan should comply with the.Crozet Master Plan. The connector road should be
shown on a larger aerial photo with the interconnection shown to ensure it will work for
future development.
