would like to add to these comments that this site plan meets the projected traffic threshold to require a
Chapter 527 Traffic Impact Analysis. This TIA has previously been requested and VDOT has not yet
received it.
Thanks

SDP - 2008 -154 Re- Store'n Station
have reviewed the above referenced plan and have the following comments:
1. Since the initial submittal of this preliminary plan, VDOT has implemented Access Management
Standards that went into effect on Oct. 141", 2009. These standards set the minimum distances that
commercial entrances must be spaced at for different speeds and functional classifications of roads and
can be viewed on the VDOT website at http: / /www.virginiadot.org/ projects /accessmgt /defauIt.asp.
2. The functional classification of Route 250 at the proposed Re- Store'n Station is Rural Minor Arterial
with a posted speed of 45 mph. The minimum spacing for full access intersections is 1050 feet.
3. The proposed commercial access for Re- Store'n Station does not meet the minimum spacing
standards from Freetown Lane and Forest Glen Dr. The applicant should attempt to consolidate
commercial entrances to meet the spacing requirements. If the applicant is not able to consolidate
entrances or meet the standards for any other reason, the applicant can submit an exception request to
VDOT to allow a reduced standard. This exception would be evaluated by the local VDOT office and
submitted to the VDOT District Administrator for review and decision. VDOT will also require a letter from
Albemarle County in support of the exception in the evaluation of the entrance.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
