RE: Colonial Nissan Special Use Permits
DATE: September 14, 2011
Regarding the Special Use Permit for the parking structure:
It is anticipated that a building can be designed to accommodate an automobile dealership,
maintenance center, and a parking structure, while meeting the Entrance Corridor design guidelines.
The architectural design requires ARB approval. That ARB review is scheduled for October 3, 2011.
Regarding the Special Use Permit for outdoor sales /storage /display:
I have reviewed the site section and rooftop parking issue with Fred Missel, ARB chairperson. Based on
the drawing entitled "Line of Site Study' dated 8 -12 -11 and received on 9 -7 -11, it has been determined
that the rooftop parking will not be visible from the Route 29 Entrance Corridor. Consequently, a Special
Use Permit four outdoor storage /display will not be required. Please be cautioned, however, that the
determination is based on the parapet condition as illustrated in the referenced drawing. If the parapet
condition changes to address ARB comments on the proposed architectural design, the issue could need
to be revisited. ARB review of the architectural design is scheduled for October 3, 2011.

RE: Special Use Permits and Rezoning Submittals
Dear Mr. Fritz:
Below are VDOT's comments for the August 2011 Rezoning and Special Use Permit
applications:
SP- 2011 -00017 Bright Beginnings (Megan Yaniglos)
1. The increase in traffic for this expansion according to ITE code is 238 vehicles per day
with 37 occurring in the peak hour. This increase will likely meet the threshold for a
taper lane on Worth Crossing according to the analysis conducted with the Estes Park
Traffic Study.
2. Entrances will need to be designed in accordance with the minimum VDOT standards.
The scale of the attached drawing appears to be incorrect so it is difficult to determine the
dimensions for the entrances to the proposed state maintained road. The road will be
classified as an urban local and the entrances will need to meet the requirements of the
VDOT Road Design Manual, Appendix F. The entrances will need to have adequate
spacing, setbacks, radii, width and appropriate throat lengths.
SP- 2011 -00018 Colonial Nissan - Parking Deck (Megan Yaniglos)
1. The existing site connects to a private road, Myers Dr, which connects to Route 29 south.
The existing and proposed uses generate enough traffic to warrant a right turn lane from
Route 29 to Myers Dr. and the entrance should be upgraded with the site plan.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Joel DeNunzio, P.E.
