Sent: Friday, February 25, 2011 12:30 PM To: Bill Fritz (bfritz @albemarle.org) Subject: SDP - 2008 -154 Re- Store'n Station 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 Joel Joel DeNunzio, P.E.
