Ellie,
I have reviewed the subject plan and have the following comment:
The proposed dedicated right of way around the unapproved parking on Timberwood Blvd should
be removed from the plan. I do realize that the parking has been constructed without an approved
construction plan and was not a part of the construction plan for the original Timberwood Blvd Road Plan.
This site plan shows the parking as being existing which appears to be accurate but I have no records of VDOT
review or approval of this parking along the street that is proposed for state maintenance. The unapproved
construction of parking along this section of Timberwood may remove the road from being eligible for
inclusion into the state maintenance system since it was not reviewed by VDOT.
• In addition, the proposed sidewalk and right of way do not meet the minimum VDOT requirements.
In accordance with the VDOT Road Design Manual, Appendix A -118, sidewalks placed adjacent to the curb
where there is on street parking shall be 8 feet in width and needs to have adequate right of way behind the
sidewalk to accommodate proposed sign placement. With the unapproved construction of the parking along
Timberwood, the required buffer strip was removed from between the curb and the sidewalk and there is no
room for the placement of road signs. This will cause issues with the needed approach signs for the
roundabout or any other needed signs on this section of road.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Joel
