Dear Mr. Brooks:
Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the May 17'h, 2012 Site Review Committee
Meeting:
SDP - 2012 -00023 Whitewood Road (Day Care Center) - Preliminary (Chris Perez)
1. The proposed entrance on Route 1495 needs to meet the minimum geometrical
requirements in accordance with the VDOT Road Design Manual, appendix F. The
width of the entrance needs to be 24 feet between the curbs for a distance of 35 feet back
from the edge of the existing road.
2. Curb ramps need to be located so they line up with the crosswalk which is outside of the
adjacent travel lanes. Type A curb ramps should be used and placed so there is a
minimum 4 foot by 4 foot area outside of the Route 1495 travel lane.
3. The existing sight line easement will need some clearing and grading to obtain adequate
sight distance.
4. The ITE trip generation projections that were previously sent to VDOT through e -mail
should be on the title sheet.
5. There is a street tree shown in the existing pavement at the intersection of 1455 and 1495.
6. The proposed connection to the waterline under existing Rotue 1455 will need to be
bored and the receiving pit at the tie in will require a utility patch in accordance with the
VDOT standard.

1. VDOT has requested certification of materials and construction in accordance with the
VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications and the Road and Bridge Standards to consider
acceptance of the unapproved parking area that is proposed to be a bus stop. This
information has not been provided at this time and VDOT cannot recommend approval of
a site plan or plat dedicating right of way around the bus stop without ensuring it was
properly constructed. If the construction cannot be certified then the applicant should
submit a plan that removes the proposed bus stop from the plan and reconstruct the
curbing to the previous approved construction plan.
2. In a meeting with the representative of the owner, VDOT agreed that placing the
sidewalk adjacent to the back of curb would not require the sidewalk to be constructed to
8 feet because there would not be street parking. VDOT did request that the right of way
be set back 4 feet from the back of sidewalk to accommodate any sign placement. This
request is not shown on this plan.
3. There is a proposed CG -12 Type B that does not appear to be necessary because there is
no crosswalk in this location.
