Memorandum
To: Scott Clark, Senior Planner
From: Glenn Brooks, County Engineer
Date: 16 Feb 2012
Subject: Panarama Farms (SP201100027)
I received a copy of a memo from Margaret Murray regarding changes to the special use permit for
Panorama Farms. I understand from this memo that there are concerns with Reas Ford Lane. I also
understand the applicant is trying to limit discussion to only Reas Ford Lane, under the assumption that
overflow parking will not be routed to Panarama Road and alternate areas on the site.
For the safety of the public, it is recommended that physical improvements be made to correct all safety
and capacity concerns. A conceptual plan for such improvements should be required, with final plans,
easements and any necessary right -of -way and construction approved on final plans and completed before
use.
If any portion of prior approvals should be open for discussion, I would recommend improvements to the
entrance road from Panarama Road also, and an analysis of turning movements on Earlysville Road. It is
not clear to me that impacts are adequately addressed.
