(VDOT) [ Joel .DeNunzio @VDOT.virginia.gov] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2012 3:32 PM To: Sarah Baldwin Subject: SDP - 2012 -00007 Homewood Suites Preliminary Sarah, I have reviewed the subject plan and have the following comments: 1. Previous VDOT comments #2 and #4 have not been addressed with this plan and should be. 2. It appears that the existing entrance has been brought to current geometrical VDOT standards with the exception of the addition of turn lane. 3. A Land Use Permit will be required for construction within the VDOT right of way. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks Joel Joel DeNunzio, P.E.

Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2012 11:11 AM To: Sarah Baldwin Subject: SDP - 2012 -00007 Homewood Suites Preliminary Sarah, I have reviewed the subject site plan and have the following comments: 1. The eastern most entrance to this site is within the functional area of the Route 29/ Route 631 intersection which is not an acceptable entrance location in accordance with the VDOT Access Management Standards. This entrance will need to be closed and the shared western entrance will need to be the main access for this site. 2. A right turn lane analysis for the western entrance will need to be submitted to VDOT for review and if warranted, will need to be constructed with the site plan. 3. The existing western entrance will need to be brought up to the current VDOT standards for a commercial entrance as described in the VDOT Road Design Manual, appendix F. 4. Access to the adjacent parcels should be provided within this site to prevent vehicles from using Route 631 and Route 29 for trips that can be captured within the existing sites. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Joel Joel DeNunzio, P.E.
