Subject: Site Review Meeting Comments July 5t", 2012 site review meeting
Dear Mr. Brooks:
Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the July 5d, 2012 Site Review Committee Meeting:
SDP - 2012 -00036 Morey Creek Office Park — Preliminary (Megan Yaniglos)
1. The general layout appears to be in accordance with the application plan and the entrance
locations are acceptable.
2. A construction plan will be required for road improvements and entrances to the public road with
the final site plan. The final site plan will need to meet the VDOT minimum standards of the
Road Design Manual. The following items will need to be addressed with the final site plan.
a. Two way and one way entrances need to meet the minimum width and throat length
criteria set in the VDOT Road Design Manual Appendix F. The entrances on the
preliminary plan appear to be less than the minimum standards.
b. The sidewalk and ditch section in between the two entrances will need to be revised so
they are not overlapping. The site frontage should include curb and gutter in between the
two entrances.
c. The one way entrance approach needs to be treated as a curbed entrance in a rural road
section with an adequate pavement offset and taper.
d. The VDOT standard WP -2 will be required for pavement widening.
e. Curb ramps are needed at the one way entrance.
f. Drainage plan will be required.
SUB - 2010 -00073 Glenmore, The Preserve - Preliminary Plat (Joanne Purtsezova)
1. The proposed subdivision is within an area with privately maintained roads and no
connections are proposed to state maintained roads.
