Subject: Site Review Meeting Comments October 11'', 2012 site review meeting
Dear Mr. Brooks:
Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the October 11"', 2012 Site Review Committee Meeting:
Verizon Wireless — "Old Lynchburg," Tier III PWSF — SP- 2012 -00027
1. No Comments
Ntelos Wirelss — "Flatwood Land Trust," Tier III PWSF — SP- 2012 -00026
1. The access road for the proposed facilities with connection to Route 20 appears to require a new entrance.
The applicant will need to apply for a Land Use Permit from VDOT.
2. The permit application will require enough detail to determine the location on Route 20 and show adequate
sight distance along with the dimensions and materials for the entrance.
Lanetown Subdivision — SUB - 2012 -00112
1. Road width should allow for parking on both sides. VDOT standards require a width of 29' for 25 mph
design speed.
2. Crosswalk and curb ramps need to be moved closer to intersection with Lanetown Way for safer pedestrian
crossing.
3. DIs need to be added to curb returns at the intersection of Lanetown Way and Baylor Court.
4. Drainage line should run directly between structures 2 and 5 or a radial pipe should be used.
5. Curb returns at intersection of Lanetown Way need to meet the requirements of connections to a rural type
road for an urban road. Shoulders on the rural road need to be in accordance with the VDOT Road Design
Manual.
6. A stub out needs to be built in the open space reserved for future R/W for streets to be eligible for state
maintenance. The stud out street must meet the requirements set in the VDOT SSAR's.
7. Road and drainage plans will be required with the site plan.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

Joel DeNunzio, P.E.
